Question

What is a fantasy story?

Answer 1

Answer:

Fiction is a bit difference from fantasy. Fantasy is more on the mystical side with things like magic, supernatural, imagination, etc. While fantasy is fiction, fiction can be a bit more realistic than fantasy fiction. Fiction is based around real events that never happened. Like making up a baseball game that never took place even though baseball is real. Fantasy is more of a imagination thing, like dragons, magic wands, etc.

Ex. of Fantasy: Lord of the Rings or Wonder Woman

Ex. of (Science) Fiction: Godzilla vs Kong or Ready Player One

For this story you need to write, since you said you were being too dreamy, I suggest staying on the thin line between fantasy and realistic events. Think of an event that took place in your life, or someone else's, but change it slightly to how you may like it.

Ex. My brother wouldn't let me eat ice cream when mom wasn't home(Fact) because he said it gave him magic powers and he didn't want the same incident to occur with me(fantasy). So, I'd chase him around the house until my mom got home, stopped him, and let me have some ice cream.(Real ending)

This may not be great and it might to help you at all, but this was just an idea to help you get closer to solving your problem. :)

Answer 2

A fantasy story is an imaginative story that includes supernatural events , mythological creatures , magic , etc. It occurs as a strange story if compared to the normal world i.e there are not such things in normal life or what we know of , for an example we know that witches and wizards don't exist in real world but we (here I am assuming all) love reading harry potter. The Harry Potter series is a work of fantasy.

Now about fiction , so fiction is nothing but a work created from imagination but it may or may not be based on a true story , here am not saying that it is a real story but just can be based on such, fictional stories aren't like the non-fictional stories which are based on actual events and people. Fiction covers all the stories that comes from imagination.

So now how is fiction different from fantasy? As I said above all the imaginary works come under fiction. So Fantasy is a sub-genre of Fiction.

As I have read your story , it's genre comes under science fiction coz of the time travel through the portals. Sci-fi is also a sub-genre of fiction.

Now if I remember correct , the question

went by asking the answerer to write a

'Fictional' story , which you did. From

your question I infer that The person who

read your story said it was not factual (to

that person) that is why it's a fictional

story. Fictional stories don't need facts it's

a work of imagination that is what makes

it a "Fiction".
