Fictional portrayals are thus inconsistent with fact, history, or plausibility. In a traditional narrow sense, fiction refers to written narratives in prose often specifically novels, novellas, and short stories. More broadly, however, fiction encompasses imaginary narratives expressed in any medium, including not just writings but also live theatrical performances, films, television programs, radio dramas, comics, role-playing games, and video games.

Because fiction is generally understood as not adhering to the real world, the t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
