A fanfic is jossed when new canon invalidates the story's character backstory, plot, etc. Jossing is a common occurrence with fanfic written for an open canon.
For instance, in Stargate Atlantis fandom, someone who wrote a story when the first season was airing about how Atlantis never re-connected with Earth would have been jossed when contact was re-established in the second season.
The term originally comes from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fandoms (both shows created by Joss Whedon), but has spread beyond the Jossverse.
