Realistic fiction is a genre consisting of stories that could have actually occurred to people or animals in a believable setting. These stories resemble real life, and fictional characters within these stories react similarly to real people.
Hope that helps :P

I worked that much out by myself, but thank you. I'm afraid my only response to that is: :roll:

I say we invent another kind of fiction called ultra-realism. Idea for a story: man sitting on the toilet; exposition, can't poop; inciting incident, poops and stops; turning point, poops again; second turning point, poops again. And finally, in the climax, he drops a super big dump. The denouement merely entails wiping his ass.

-- 27 Sep 2015, 23:23 --

In the end the character realizes that the confidence to poop was in him all along and he just had to relax. I think this is a story that speaks to us all.

I agree, very interesting idea! I'd be interested in looking at the book options out there for Thanksgiving. It's not usually a topic that I find myself reading much about.

That's a great idea! Not that exactly (though I'm sure it appeals to many people), but a "world literature" month. I would love that.
