PWP stands for Plot? What Plot? PWP fics have no plot at all. They can be goodfics, if properly executed, but are often not. Typically a fic labelled PWP will be an explicit scene, written as if taken from a larger work or considered to take place in the same continuity as another fic, thus removing the need to actually establish an in-fic plot. Commentfic, flashfic, and other short forms are often PWP. Kinkmemes are filled almost exclusively with PWP, both good and bad.

- The term PWP is used to refer to short erotic fan fiction with little if any lead-in to the sexual/romantic interaction between the characters. Originally, "PWP" stood for "Plot? What Plot?", the connotation being that, instead of a plot, sex is the entire point of the story. Later on, the meaning of the term drifted, and the phrase "Porn Without Plot" is now also used to define the acronym. — adapted from the Fanlore article, "PWP"

| - The term PWP is used to refer to short erotic fan fiction with little if any lead-in to the sexual/romantic interaction between the characters. Originally, "PWP" stood for "Plot? What Plot?", the connotation being that, instead of a plot, sex is the entire point of the story. Later on, the meaning of the term drifted, and the phrase "Porn Without Plot" is now also used to define the acronym. A story may be referred to as a PWP if the main focus of the action (pun entirely intended) is on one or more sexual encounters. The definition is fairly flexible, however; some PWPs are good old-fashioned smut, and unapologetically so. Other stories may be referred to as PWPs (by the author[s] or readers) if the plot itself revolves around sex, even when the sexual encounters lead to deeper exploration of the characters and/or their relationships. — adapted from the Fanlore article, "PWP"
