Profic is professionally published fiction. The main difference to fanfiction and unpublished original fiction is that profic pays and amateur fiction doesn't.

Some people use the term profic exclusively to refer to tie-in novels, rather than just any professionally published fiction.

In the 2020s, profic is occasionally used on twitter as a synonym of proship.
