	Fictional realm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Fictional realms are settings - countries, planets, universes, multiverses or alternative or parallel realities, in which one or more stories are set.
		It can be argued that every work of fiction generates a world of its own (Robert A. Heinlein coined the neologism Ficton to refer to such a world) but to qualify as a fictional, alternative reality the setting should be distinct and germane to the stories told there.
		By their very nature, fantasy and science fiction tend to generate fictional realms, but they may also apply to other types of stories where the time and place in which stories are set invokes a sense of a world apart and unique to the purpose of casting the tales told in it.

	Art, Technology and Simulation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Instead of looking in on a fictional realm from the outside and identifying with the characters, the audience steps into a simulation of life, which is a more alluring version of the world it has apparently left behind.
		And in the growing number of telephone 900 numbers and the "text-worlds" that are appearing on the Internet, people engage in fictional dialogues by typing or speaking their parts, once again playing the role of actors in participatory dramas in a collaborative effort to bring fictions to life.
		Thus, contemporary fiction, in explicit and not only disguised, ways, offers us the illusion we are escaping the limits, not of physical reality, but of morality, allowing us to transgress social taboos and indulge in extreme forms of sex and violence, creating human worlds modeled after the darkest elements of our humanity.

		This is done by making the reader assume the role of the main fictional character in the story from the beginning of the story to the end by allowing them to take the character down various paths through the use of numbered paragraphs.

	Fiction and the Androgyne in the Works of Cervantes, by Ruth El Saffar
		Without the mediation of the fictional realm, they would have been simply actors —unconscious actors— in a fiction they would have called “reality.” By experiencing, and re-experiencing their so-called reality in a consciously fictional realm they learn to survive in the labyrinth, and eventually to break out of the illusions that perpetuate it.
		Because each is able to identify with the absent other side of his (her) self, the two can travel as a pair through the two predominant terrains of the work —the watery, unconscious, dark, feminine first half as well as the dry, conscious, sunlit masculine second half— and remain intact.
		Don Quixote, however, is already undercutting the pattern of his fiction in Part II by shifting his focus from the giants and abductors to the lady herself.

		Schenck's story, which he claims is based on the actual, imaginary life of Pfitz, is really the fiction of a fiction of a fiction.
		But it seems that another author, of an authorized fiction, has done the same thing, creating a novel and its fictional author in order that he may win Estrella's love.
		The whole idea of the imaginary city seems to be well covered territory by now, and this particular tack on meta-fiction has been so thoroughly, and successfully, explored by Calvino and Borges that it seems unnecessary.

		In the close reading of saga fiction, I will particularly concentrate on the temporal issue, which lies at the core of memory as representation.
		I will show that by bringing out different times-mythic, religious, natural, and psychological-saga fiction creates a variety of times which not only fall out of the historical and the linear, but also make this continuity as a signifying framework senseless.

		A mythical place is a place that does not really exist but is accepted folk lore or speculation that it it might exist or might have existed in earlier times but its actual location is now lost.
		Unlike fictional places, which are only used in fictional writings, mythical places are often considered un(re)discovered places in the real world.
		While they may appear in fictional stories, there is often some scientific, historical or archeological evidence, as well as myths and legends that indicate such places may have existed or are awaiting discovery, rediscovery or at least explanation about their location.

		Through these characters, we then reenact the universal story line that is common to all fiction: danger and obstacles are faced, but we, or the characters we identify with, win in the end.
		This is the realm of believable scripts and dialogue, lifelike computer images, ultra-realistic stage sets, and all the other tricks of storytelling that make movies, novels, and video games, et al, seem to come to life.
		This is particularly evident in the science fiction works referred to above, in which the heroes free themselves and society from the illusions of false utopias and the manipulations of those in power.
