Storiesfolk

Storiesfolk is a term used to describe fictional characters or beings whose primary purpose or characteristic within a narrative is to tell or engage with stories. This concept can span across various genres, from folklore and fantasy to science fiction and modern literature. These characters might be oral storytellers, keepers of ancient lore, creators of new narratives, or even beings who literally live within stories. Their presence often serves to advance the plot through the sharing of information, to explore themes of memory and history, or to highlight the power of storytelling itself. Examples of storiesfolk can range from wise elders recounting legends to mischievous sprites who weave tales from moonlight, or even advanced AI entities that process and generate narrative data. The definition is broad, encompassing any character whose role is intrinsically linked to the act of narration or the consumption of narratives within their fictional world.
