Fantasy

  • A type of fiction in which the rules of the world are different; animals talk, magic works, and strange creatures exist.fiction--Writing from the imagination, or writing containing elements of imagination, fable, or tale. Also known as "lies," or "something you've made up."
  • Stories set in an unreal world. Fantasy is based upon the imagination in one's mind
  • Fantasy has nothing to do with an opposition between reality and illusion , but rather interjects a third term, physical reality, that structures them both.
  • The creative interpretation of an event by group members to fulfill some need.
  • This genre is any story of the impossible- a tale that has events happening that could never happen in the natural world.
  • A creation of something heretofore nonexistent, eg, a note or any collectible, or a piece of art, etc, intended to defraud collectors by implying genuine historical significance.
  • A story that is realistic except for one important detail, which is so handled as to give the story an imaginative and whimsical tone.
  • A highly imaginative tale about somewhat believable, but nonexistent, characters, places, and events.
  • Any conscious break with reality, whether in the relatively benign forms of caprices and daydreams, or in the more psychologically charged delusions and hallucinations.
  • Something that can bring you unlimited joy as long as you don't try to realize it
  • Fiction with a large amount of fantasy in it;
  • Something many people believe that is false
