Outline of fiction


The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to fiction:
Fiction - narrative which is made up by the author. Literary work, it also includes theatrical, cinematic, documental, and musical work. In contrast to this is non-fiction, which deals exclusively in factual events. Semi-fiction is fiction implementing a great deal of non-fiction, e.g. a fictional description based on a true story.
