	Real Characters
		Even real people are carried around in the heads of the people who have met them as an image that references the real person.
		Fictions are as real as any story and are subject to the same limitations of belief.
		In this way a person, who during the movie was scared to move and terrified of the hideous aliens, may exit the theater and envision himself bravely killing the aliens with his bare hands.

	Real person fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Writing RPF stories is one way to put forth a theory or "prove" that a particular pair of celebrities are in a relationship.
		The earliest known RPF was written by the Brontë children from 1826 to approximately 1844.
		RPF authors will point out, however, that there is usually no intent to claim these fictional portrayals reflect the real activities of the "source figure" in any way.

	Fact Or Fiction in DaynotesForum
		When modern "fiction" novels as we know them were originally published, many were outraged because the expectations were then that published works be "true" (in the then accepted sense).
		Fiction was however here to stay, and the format evolved.
		The emerging consensus is that however well-meaning the intent was by the perpetrator, it should have been either published as a clearly designated work of fiction, given the disclaimer that the main figure is a composite of several true people, or given another format altogether.

	Real Fiction
		Real Fiction's claim to fame is that it was shot in under 200 minutes with no retakes.

	1993 - Fanhistory.com
		Usenet continued to be important in centralizing some fan fiction fannish related communities and a number of fan fiction related groups were created this year.
		Real person fic took its first hesitant and not necessarily legitimate step into having an on-line presence when The Nifty Archive was created this year.
		Nifty was a door though that many people would go through before entering into real person fan fiction communities that were viewed as more legitimate by the rest of the fan fiction community.

	Conspiracy as Fan Fiction - Pop Occulture
		There are many subgenres and styles of fanfic (wikipedia has a good entry on it), one good example of which is called slash or slashfic wherein two characters of the same sex are put into a (usually romantic/sexual) relationship with one another.
		There’s actually a subgenre of fanfic called Real Person Fiction, where instead of using imaginary characters from media, they write fictional stories based on the lives of actors and celebrities.
		Communities also develop their own ethics on what sort of stories are acceptable — some are uncomfortable with slash fiction, or with mention of the celebrity’s real-life families, or with so-called darkfic (stories involving suicide, murder, rape).

	Why write fiction?
		I finally began to publish, and have some short stories, a science fiction novel and its sequel, and a couple of dozen YA and children's novels.
		I know from experience that it can be harder for a professional nonfiction writer to spend time on fiction than for a novice, because our writing time is "supposed" to be for writing paying work.
		Claire Tristram's first novel, After-to be published this May by Farrar, Strauss, Giroux, one of the most prestigious literary houses in the business-was encouraged by an agent who had seen her work in small literary magazines.

	\| Judith Kelman's Writers' Room \| - \| Fiction \|
		Like real people, your characters should be multi-dimensional people with particular fears and aspirations, strengths and soft spots, secrets and sensitivities.
		In a romance, the heroine might discover that the man she loves is really an alien from Zog (where he has a two-headed wife and twenty-seven alienettes.) The middle of the book is devoted to this problem and the main characters' attempts to resolve it.
		The best settings are so real and vibrant, they seem to serve as central characters in the book.

	Fiction
		Stories that could really have happened to real people, but are not based on a specific factual event or about a particular person who exists or has existed.
		Fiction writing has its roots in the creation stories, folk tales, and fables that human societies always tell so that people can learn how to live.
		In more modern fiction, the hero is often an anti-hero, someone who either is evil or who doesn't take any action to change his or her fate.

	Writing Fiction: Fiction About Real People
		To deal with the last issue first, "third person" means describing the characters' actions and thoughts as "he said" and "she wondered." The author pretty well stays out of the story except to provide occasional interruptions for necessary explanations.
		It really is an invasion of privacy; we normally deal with one another off the record, and we resent it when a shared confidence becomes public gossip.
		I'm writing a fictional manuscript about a two real life people and adding a fictional central character whose life is impacted by a series of events that involve the other two central characters.

	Realty Times - Real Estate News and Advice
		First American Corporation, which is one of the country's largest title insurance underwriters, reports about the losses on its website and in a promotional brochure about the dangers of not having a clear title to land.
		When it comes time to finish the paperwork for your first piece of real estate (investment or otherwise) you're going to find out that many trees have lost their lives because of the paper shuffled back and forth to buy, sell, rent, insure, list, survey and record real estate.
		The deed, as defined by the Land Title Institute is "an instrument, of various forms, by which title to real estate is conveyed from one party to another." Since Abraham Lincoln didn't have "clear title" to the land, it was pulled out from underneath him and his family.

	Stranger than Fiction: Grokking Heinlein's Masterwork
		Even death holds no real value nor fear for Smith, and can occur simply if one is cast out from the Nest.
		Even though Smith is who he is, the rest of us greedy savages can think of little better to do with him than latch on and take what we can from him.
		Stranger remains a landmark in science fiction because it operates on so many disparate levels -- political, religious, emotional, spiritual -- all layered around a good old-fashioned suspense story, offering up bold insights about what it means to be human.

	Science Fiction Weekly Interview
		I realize the person on the screen is based on me and not necessarily every day of my life.
		And I'm a little concerned that people will think it's real, because if you're on TV or in movies, [they] think they know you and think you are what you're playing, if you're playing it effectively.
		And so I really had to get to a place where I know what I know, and you can look at me and say I'm wrong, but I know in the end you're going to realize that's the way it is. You just haven't seen it.

	Band Fiction Stranger Than Truth
		Nonetheless, it's generally considered taboo to present a band with your fiction, partly because the community fears that the musician will take it the wrong way (thinking that you--and by association, other band fiction fans--may be dangerous and 'stalkerish') and partly out of concern that bringing it to their attention could have legal repercussions.
		If it's slash fiction that's found by people who are unfamiliar with band fiction, it is nearly always assumed that the author is a homosexual male, despite the fact that slash fiction authors are far more likely to be women.
		Because band fiction is little known and understood in the mainstream, many of its fans prefer to stay 'under the radar' about their involvement.

	Writing Exercises for Creative Fiction Writers
		The first problem with this is that the story tends to become autobiography dressed up as fiction, often featuring with a highly idealized and unrealistic version of the writer.
		The following exercises serve the purpose of encouraging the writer to think in less conventional and stereotypical ways about how fictional characters’ actions and motivations are linked – or not – to their appearance and cultural backgrounds, with the overall aim of discouraging the reliance on archetype and stereotype in character development.
		Then write a quick “backstory” about that person – i.e., a quick synopsis of their background, their personal and professional lives, etc., and then imagine an interesting situation that person might find themselves in.

	Long Ridge Writers Group
		Fan fiction is a genre of creative writing that uses a pre-cut cast of characters and a world that has already been defined by an author or a screenwriter.
		There is also a category of fan fiction called 'real person fiction' which involves writing yourself, a friend or some original character into the lives of celebrities.
		By inviting people to read my fan fiction on the internet, I had readers who were already hooked on the characters and the worlds I was borrowing from.

	Interactive Workshops -- In Search of the Novel
		And that really is even where science fiction and fantasy novels come from.
		Teacher: We get to the question, “What is real?” I think that if you enter a novel, you enter the world that the author creates and asks you to come in where people can do fantastical things or where things are outlandish or larger than life or different from life as we know it.
		So a part of what is real to me is the authenticity of how well that universe holds together—the universe that the writer creates.

		At it's worse(and most RPF falls into this category IMO) it is the fantasies of obsessed minds immortalized for everyone to view and wince at.

	Real You
		If we’re to live for God from the inner person, the person God has clothed with His righteousness, then we must not worry about whether or not we are qualified when He calls us to serve.
		As we learn to operate from the real person inside, discovering the soul God placed within us, His fragrance flows stronger, leaving a sweet, genuine scent trailing after us.
		When we let Him uncover the real person within we’ll find that the roles He gives us are a perfect fit.

		He immediately killed the person behind him, which sadly turned out to be a close friend, Asquani also of the Real People.

	Viking Answer Lady Webpage - Risala: Ibn Fadlan's Account of the Rus
		An ill person is put in a tent apart with some bread and water and people do not come to speak to him; they do not come even to see him every day, especially if he is a poor man or a slave.
		The "prayer" is a part of the ritual described by the real Ibn Fadlan where a slave girl/concubine of a deceased Rus chieftain is about to be sacrificed to accompany her master to the grave.
		The one really bad bit of "sword-fu" in the movie was when Ibn Fadlan supposedly takes a tempered steel sword and grinds it down into a saber -- which would of course totally destroy the temper and make it about as useful as a crowbar thereafter.

	SHEENAGH PUGH: poet, novelist and translator from Wales
		Literary critics hardly know it exists, yet fan fiction is, thanks to the Net, a fast-growing genre practised worldwide by people of all ages and backgrounds.
		Its writers (who, in many cases, also write paid fiction) have their own critical apparatus, fiction awards and supportive communities dedicated to getting better at what they do.
		This is the first book to consider fan fiction as a literary genre in a long context of canon-based writing, rather than as a curious phenomenon in the field of media or women's studies.
