>"But if you set out to write idfic and it somehow ended up reading like crack to you, I feel like you would have somehow missed achieving idfic and ended up with something else instead."
Ah! Thank you very much. That sentence seems to make the connection I could not, when I looked at the definition and references on Fanlore and just a little general Googling. Almost all the examples of "idfic" that I encountered sounded like "crackfic" to me.
>"for some people it might be 50K of domestic curtainficcy fluff"
Is long length one of the expected characteristics of the idfic genre?
>"gloriously self-indulgent" | "without worrying too much about how or why"
Back to that possibility of a third sub-genre that I'm missing: Is there a classification for a stupendously self-indulgent piece that nevertheless worries about the how and why? Or does the fact of addressing the how and why render it, if not a "normal story," at least "just" an AU?
