Social-Fiction (So-fi) — A New Genre of Storytelling

I believe there is a new type of storytelling.

Just in case my fictional writing fails to leave an indelible mark upon the literary world, I thought I should claim the title as “the-one-who-named-it.”

Social-fiction is driven by the social interaction between fans and fictional characters who communicate with fans via social media.

Although the characters are fictitious, their interaction with the audience is real and the plot develops through that interaction. Real people and scenes may find their way into the story as it unfolds.

So-fi, as a genre, is used alongside any other genre, be it romance, action, mystery or science fiction. It has no limits.
