OFIC Magazine See other projects related to this listing. This project is believed to be defunct. (May 2026) About What’s special about the word “ofic” is that it’s short for “original fiction,” but only in contrast to fanfiction. The fanfic/ofic divide dichotomizes fiction into two categories: work that openly acknowledges the canon from which a work was transformed, and everything else.OFIC Magazine is a publication with a simple goal: to promote the original work of fanauthors whose aesthetics and interests may not align with the genres of traditional publishing, but whose work still aspires to literary aims—work that may be dark or grotesque, unabashedly joyful, or just too filthy for the general population. We publish work that can’t fit anywhere else. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, except for fee waivers available for those who participate in transformative fandom. (Note: About 8% of magazines always charge fees.) The fee is USD $3 (average for magazines that charge).
