i am actually SO MAD about "unfiction" because i have spent MONTHS (literally 2+ years) looking for this word to describe "something that is kind of like a scrapbook story (see tv tropes) but not quite" and then it turns out that ppl have coined the worlds most useful and lovely term for it but i cant type it into like, bookbrowse, and have it recommend me books. i am livid
like the specific genre of something that is framed as if it were a recounting of real events even though its obviously fictional to US the READER. the examples i can remember off the top of my head are things like world war z, the martian, the SCP wiki, liking what you see: a documentary by ted chiang, and every mockumentary ever. and this whole time its been called "unfiction" which is fucking awesome. i am so mad rn
