Oh, I've heard the term before -- I remember being confused about it and googling around to see if anyone explained it -- you can find some fic authors' LJ and DW journal entries on the subject. Basically, it's stories that comes straight from the id, appealing to knee-jerk viewer/reader reactions rather than common sense and faithfulness to characterization and what makes a good story. Like, an id-fic will have a character the author doesn't like get totally bawled out and insulted and humiliated by other characters in a really OOC way in revenge for some dickish action of his/hers -- the author just wants to see the mean character get a comeuppance, they don't care that the scenario makes no fucking sense. Sometimes the author doesn't realize that what they want to see =/= good, IC story, and the fics get more complex and layered than that, which is when stuff like woobie!Loki and blushing!infantile!Steve and demonization of interfering love interests for the author's OTP start going haywire.

(This also happens in published fiction -- google "OH JOHN RINGO NO" for a really frickin' hilarious dissection of a particularly gratuitous example of it).

Thanks, friend! I learned something today.

Oh my, that journal entry (here: http://hradzka.livejournal.com/194753.html - warning: casual references to rape in bad fiction) was hysterical. Thanks for that.

Hee you're welcome! I read the whole entry alternating between gaping in horror and clamping my hand over my mouth to stifle my giggles. :D
