Fiction is any story or arrangement that comes from the imagination - in other words, not based on history or facts.

Overview
In its most narrow traditional use, fiction shows every "literary narrative" (see literary fiction), including novels, novels, short stories, and dramas. More broadly, fiction has included imaginative narratives in any format, including writings, live performances, movies, television programs, animations, games (especially, video games and role-playing games), and so on.
A work of fiction implies an inventive act of world-building, so that its audience does not usually expect it to be entirely faithful to the real world in presenting only characters who are actual people or actual descriptions factually correct. In contrast, the context of fiction, which is generally understood as not being embedded appropriately into the real world, is more open to interpretation. The characters and events in fictitious works can even be set in their own context completely separate from the known universe: the independent fiction universe.
The traditional opponent of Fiction is non-fiction, a work of narrative whose creator takes on the responsibility of presenting only historical and factual truth. The distinction between fiction and non-fiction can somehow be unclear in recent artistic and literary movements, such as postmodern literature.

Format
Traditionally, fiction includes novels, short stories, fairy tales, legends, myths, fairy tales, epic poems and narratives, dramas (including operas, musicals, dramas, doll dramas, and various types of theatrical dances). However, fiction can also include comic books, and many animated cartoons, stopping movements, anime, manga, movies, video games, radio programs, television programs (comedy and drama), etc.
The Internet has had a major impact on the creation and distribution of fiction, which questions the appropriateness of copyright as a means of ensuring royalties are paid to the copyright holders. Also, digital libraries such as Project Gutenberg make public domain text more readily available. The combination of cheap home computers, the internet, and the creativity of its users also lead to new fictional forms, such as interactive computer games or computer-generated comics. Countless forums for fan fiction can be found online, where loyal followers of a certain fictional world create and distribute derivative stories. The Internet is also used for the development of fictional blogs, where stories are passed through blogs either as fiction or serial blogs, and collaborative fiction, where stories are written sequentially by different authors, or the entire text can be revised by anyone using a wiki.
The types of literary fiction in prose include:
- Short story: A work of at least 2,000 words but under 7,500 words. The boundary between a long short story and novella is unclear.
- Novella: A work of at least 17,500 words but under 50,000 words. Joseph Conrad Heart of Darkness (1899) is an example of a novella. Novel
- : A work of 50,000 words or more.
Genre fiction
Fiction is usually broken down into different genres: a subset of fiction, each distinguished by a unifying tone or a particular style, narrative technique, media content, or criteria that are popularly defined. Science fiction, for example, predicts or assumes technology that is not reality at the time of the creation of the work: Jules Verne's novel From Earth to the Moon was published in 1865 and only in 1969 astronaut Neil Armstrong first land on the moon.
Historical fiction puts an imaginary character into a real historical event. In Waverley's early historical novel, Sir Walter Scott's fictional character, Edward Waverley met the historical figure, Bonnie Prince Charlie, and took part in the Battle of Prestonpans. Some works of fiction are little or very re-imagined based on some real original stories, or a reconstructed biography. Often, even when fictional stories are based on facts, there may be additions and subtractions of the true story to make it more interesting. An example is Tim O'Brien The Things They Carried , a series of short stories about the Vietnam War.
Works of fiction that explicitly involve supernatural, magical, or scientific elements may not often be classified in the fantasy genre, including Lewis Carroll Alice In Wonderland , JK Rowling Harry Potter , and JRR Tolkien Lord of the Rings . Fantasy creators sometimes introduce imaginary creatures and creatures like dragons and fairies.
Literary Fiction
Literary fiction is defined as a work of fiction that is considered to have a literary reward, which is distinguished from commercial fiction, or "genre" fiction. The difference can be controversial among critics and scholars.
Neal Stephenson has suggested that while every definition would be simple there is now a general cultural difference between literary fiction and genre. On the one hand literary authors today are often supported by patronage, with work at universities or similar institutions, and with continuation of the prescribed position not by sales of books but by critical acclaim by literary authors and other established critics. On the other hand, he suggests, genre fiction writers tend to support themselves with the sale of books. However, in an interview, John Updike regrets that "the category of 'literary fiction' has sprung up recently to torture people like me who have just written the book, and if anyone wants to read it, great, the more the merrier. I am a writer of a kind genre.I am writing literary fiction, which is like a fictional spy or a lit girl ". Likewise, at The Charlie Rose Show, he argues that this term, when applied to his work, severely limits him and his expectations about what may come from his writing, so he does not really like it. He suggested that all his works are literary, just because "they are written in words".
Literary fiction often involves social commentary, political criticism, or reflection on the human condition. In general it focuses on "introspective, deep study of character" of "interesting, complex and developed" characters. This contrasts with the fiction of the genre in which the plot is the main concern. Usually in literary fiction the focus is on the "inner story" of the characters that drive the storyline, with detailed motivation to gain "emotional involvement" in the reader. The style of literary fiction is often described as "elegantly written, lyrical, and... layered". The tone of literary fiction can be darker than genre fiction, while the tempo of literary fiction may be slower than popular fiction. As Terrence Rafferty notes, "literary fiction, by its nature, allows him to spend time, to linger in lost beauty even at the risk of losing his way."
Realism
Realistic fiction usually involves stories whose basic arrangements (time and location in the world) are real and events can occur appropriately in real-world settings; non-realistic fiction involves stories where the opposite is the case, often set in an entirely imaginary universe, an alternate history of the world other than what is currently understood as true, or some other time-bound location or period, sometimes even presenting technology which is impossible or an opposition to the laws of nature understood today. However, all fictional types may invite their audience to explore real ideas, problems, or possibilities in imaginary settings, or use what is understood about reality to mentally build something similar to reality, though it is still different from that.
In terms of the traditional separation between fiction and non-fiction, the lines are now generally understood as blurred, suggesting more overlap than joint exclusion. Even fiction usually has elements, or grounded, truth. The difference between the two is probably best defined from the perspective of the audience, according to whom a work is considered non-fiction if its people, places, and events are all historically or factually real, while a work is considered as fiction if it deviates from reality in one that field. The distinction between fiction and non-fiction is further obscured by understanding, on the one hand, that truth can be presented through imaginary channels and constructs, while, on the other hand, imagination can also bring significant conclusions about truth. and reality.
The literary critic James Wood argues that "fiction is artificial and verisimilitude," meaning that it requires both creative inventions and a trustworthy level of trust, an idea often encapsulated in the term poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge: the cessation of distrust. Also, the infinite fictitious possibilities themselves indicate the impossibility of a fully knowing reality, provocatively indicating that there is no criterion for measuring the construction of reality.
