| | Fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fiction is storytelling of imagined events and stands in contrast to non-fiction, which makes factual claims about reality. | | | Fiction has often been the target of censorship or boycotts, escalating into book burnings or bans. | | | The Three Graces, here in a painting by Sandro Botticelli, were the goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, human creativity and fertility in Greek mythology. |

| | Science fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A science fiction story may be firmly rooted in real scientific possibilities as they are understood at the time of writing, as in Arthur C. Clarke's novel A Fall of Moondust, or highly imaginative, set in an extraterrestrial civilization or a parallel universe, as in Isaac Asimov's novel The Gods Themselves. | | | Early science fiction was published in books and in general circulation magazines. | | | If the society, the person, the technology, and the scientific knowledge base in the story are all drawn from observed reality, without much detail about the scientific aspects, the story may be classed as mainstream, contemporary fiction rather than as science fiction, like Marooned by Martin Caidin. |

| | I've always thought he'd be delighted at the irony of a poet's daughter becoming a science fiction writer--probably the literature of social commentary. | | | If I'm ever in a position to print a dedication to this story, it will be to my brother Keïta, who is my favourite and only sib, who is nothing like the brother in the story, but whom I nevertheless love as fiercely as Silky loves Morgan. | | | Some of my classmates thought the title sounded like it could be the name of a punk band, but it actually comes from a proverb, "Craven choke puppy."(A puppy that's greedy will choke.) I've always been fascinated by the Caribbean tales of vampiric women who can turn into blood-sucking balls of fire. |

| | Writing Fiction |
| | Science fiction in general is a hybrid of romance and Menippean satire; in romance, people are larger than life, and exciting things happen to them. | | | It may turn into a package deal, with a revised and expanded edition of the book coming out in the spring of 2008—the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the blacks in BC during the 1858 gold rush. | | | In Menippean satire, the object of the satire is the intellectual/scholar, and the plot can stop dead while the scholar rants on about his subject. |
