Date: 2010-05-07 02:48 pm (UTC)I've seen all kinds of wacky spellings and punctuation choices for pretty much any fandom term. I don't think I've seen fanfic writers using the hyphenated version, but the whole space/no space debate has been going forever in fandom. The last big flare up was last January. There was plenty of stuff on metafandom at the time.

I have to ask: How are you defining 'litfic'? I thought that term had a well-known fandom definition, but when I was trying to write it up for Fanlore, I found that most people I asked either didn't know it or defined it differently from what I'd always heard. (FWIW, I really only use 'fic' as an abbreviation of 'fanfic', not 'fiction' generally.)
