What Does This Mean?
Fanfiction that is self-aware about being fiction or about fandom, for example characters who know they are in a story or a story about fans and writers. It is a weak entry: the phrase "meta fic" itself is not defined by a source opened here.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
""The whole fic is meta: the narrator keeps complaining about the tropes in her own story.""
LORE & ORIGIN
Wikipedia's Fan fiction article has a section on recursive, meta and fan-verse works, but its text as read described only that stories based on an existing fan work are called "remix" on Archive of Our Own; it did not define "meta fic". Fanlore returned HTTP 403. The meaning above is general ("meta" as self-referential) and is not backed by a cited definition. No coiner or first use is known.
