Fictives are: "Any character in a fanfic, usually but not always referring to those either created or altered by fanfic writers. More specifically, characters usually called "fictives" when they are outside their usual story, ie. hanging out in the Subreality Cafe. Fictives sometimes get the chance to scold or comfort their writer in metafics."

The term was later adopted by the soulbonding community and from there came to be used by the plural community as a whole. A detailed history is available on the Pluralpedia page.
