The term comes from Supernatural fandom (the show was created by Eric Kripke), and is a play on Jossed. It's what happens when canon validates a plot idea that someone has previously written in a fanfiction story. To according Supernatural Wiki "As opposed to the fanon crushing Joss Whedon, Eric seemed to plunder our fanfiction see into our hearts and fulfill our fannish desires."

According to Supernatural Wiki, the term was coined by two fans (clex_monkie89 and mikhale) while commenting on the series in an instant message reproduced in the LiveJournal of one of them on October 23, 2006.

Below is an excerpt from the post:

mikhale says:
i am so, so annoyed that this cant really happen.
I say:
SH.
I say:
It's canon until we get Jossed.
I say:
You know. If getting Jossed is getting your fanon disproved getting Kripked is getting your fanon proved.
Think about it. My icon right here is proof; we write it and then Kripke verifies it.[1]
