Fiction with an interesting concept Options

[Wytil]

Several years ago an American author Robert A Heinlein introduced an interesting concept in some of his fiction novels. The concept was that fiction became real or alive as soon as enough readers beleived in it.
In the book "The Number of The Beast" the first device for such traveling was invented and off through whatever our heroes went. 8)
Among the places they visit
I wrote a short story a couple of years ago and put it on FF.net. I think it was probably incomprehensable to most of those who stumbled across it.
But then I would not be surprised, most stories with a philosophical bent would be.

QUOTE

Fiction and imagination are so much a part of human culture, human life, that they often define people, eras, movements, and so much more.

reminded me of what one of my friends once said:

'I am a piece of fiction!'

Now that's how to win an argument It was his brilliant (yet comical in a year 9 class) of making a good point, people's lives can be fictitious to someone else.

Not everyone will have lived in the same place all their lives, just as not everyone will have lived in too many places all their lives. Fiction is a term we can use to define a life we may never experience, but one that someone else already has.
