Fiction is not presented as fact, even though it may be based on a true story or situation. Works of fiction can be done in any of the forms of literature, including those most often used in writing non-fiction. [AM] {CL}
Fiction is derived from the Latin word fictio, which means the act of fashioning, or moulding. It is writing that comes from the imagination of the writer. Fiction suggests a story that is invented and fashioned either to entertain or to deceive. Common types of literature in the fiction genre include the novel and short story. [RA] {DC}
