fikseeriv

Fikseeriv is a fictional concept used in speculative fiction discourse to describe a narrative technique that blends elements of prophecy, memory, and counterfactual forecasting to explore possible futures and alternate pasts.

The term fuses ideas from fiction, seer, and the suffix -iv to indicate a field of study or practice within narrative experimentation, and is commonly discussed in fan communities and academic-critics spaces focused on media arts.

Origins of fikseeriv trace to online forums, zines, and micro-press anthologies from the early 2010s, where writers and readers experimented with non-linear timelines, multiple viewpoints, and metafictional devices to interrogate how stories shape perception of time.

Core features include anticipation of futures, cross-media storytelling, reader participation, and layered narrative frames that invite interpretation rather than adherence to a single canonical chronology.

Notable fictional works associated with fikseeriv include The Glass Almanac (2016) by L. Kester, Echoes of the Unwritten (2019) by J. Noor, and Threads Between Times (2021) by S. Varela, which showcase its range from arc-based to ensemble, interactive formats.

Scholarly and fan reception is mixed: proponents view fikseeriv as a productive method for exploring possible futures and ethical questions, while critics argue that the label can be vague or charge readers with excessive decoding effort. It has influenced transmedia storytelling and alternate-world design.
