elfejti

elfejti is a term that has gained some traction within certain online communities, particularly those related to creative writing and worldbuilding. It is not a formally recognized academic term nor is it part of any established mythology or folklore. Instead, it appears to be a neologism, or a newly coined word, that users have adopted to describe a specific concept. The precise meaning of "elfejti" can vary slightly depending on the context in which it is used, but it generally refers to a kind of subtle, almost subconscious, forgetting or omission of details that are deemed unimportant or inconvenient by a narrative or a character.

This phenomenon is often discussed when analyzing stories, particularly those with complex plots or intricate world designs. Users employing the term "elfejti" might be pointing out instances where an author, intentionally or unintentionally, glosses over minor inconsistencies or plot holes, assuming the reader will not notice or will simply accept the oversight for the sake of narrative flow. It can also be used to describe a character's internal process of forgetting, where their memory selectively filters out less significant events. The term is primarily used in informal discussions and critiques rather than in formal literary analysis.
