Xfiction

Xfiction is a term that can refer to a variety of concepts within the realm of creative writing and digital media. Primarily, it is often used to describe fan fiction that is created for fictional worlds or characters that are not based on pre-existing media properties. This distinguishes it from traditional fan fiction, which is typically derived from established books, movies, TV shows, or video games. In essence, xfiction authors invent their own universes, characters, and storylines, drawing inspiration from general themes, genres, or even abstract concepts rather than specific source material.

The term can also sometimes be used more broadly to encompass experimental fiction or stories that push the boundaries of conventional narrative structures and genres. In this context, "x" can be seen as a variable, representing unknown or unconventional elements introduced into a fictional work. These works might explore themes of identity, reality, or technology in unique ways, often employing non-linear timelines, multiple perspectives, or innovative language.

Furthermore, in certain online communities, xfiction might denote a specific genre or style of writing that is characterized by its niche appeal or its exploration of particular tropes. The exact definition and usage can vary depending on the context and the community discussing it. Regardless of the specific interpretation, xfiction generally implies a departure from established norms, whether in its origin of inspiration or its narrative execution.
