Fictional locations

  • Micro Award - annual juried award, not a contest; given to the best story of under 1,000 words published in English during a calendar year; private money funds the award; editors nominate work just as they do for the Pushcart Prize and similar honors
  • Author Academy Awards - annual judged award in 16 categories, three step process. Any book can be submitted, then a panel decides whether the nomination is accepted or not. Once it is accepted, popular vote and judges panel narrows it down to a top ten for each of the 16 categories. Step three, popular votes again, the panel of judges read the books and on the day of the awards in Columbus, OH, each top ten finalist in the 16 categories is asked to present their book to a judge or two in speech format. Then, that night, everyone comes together in formal wear, and, just like the Oscars, the awards are given. authoracademyawards.com

    Literary movements and styles

    A–F

    • agricultural theory
    • bibliomystery [46]
    • Bosnian Medieval literature - history of literature in the territory of today Bosnia and Herzegovina focusing on the medieval literature. There already exists such an article, but only in Bosnian and, apparently, Russian, but no translations to either English or any other languages. bs:Bosanska srednjovjekovna književnost
    • Chechen literature
    • chi-chu - literary style mentioned in Wikipedia article about the Yellow Emperor involving assembling writing from fragments of various sources (I think) - unable to find any wiki or other search engine articles on it, nor any online books a bout it - even trying different spelling variants and combinations, though I realise this can subtly change meaning in the translation from Chinese to English.
    • childhood in literature, children in literature, childhood account - whatever the title of the article, I do think an article on depictions of childhood in literature is requestable; there is one on the Swedish-language Wikipedia (sv:Barndomsskildring)
    • combinatory literature - e.g., the Oulipo
    • Crimean Tatar literature
    • culinary mystery - gourmetmysteries.com
    • dolphin and whale spot - term; (on the cranium) quoted by David Foster Wallace in Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace by David Lipsky. Pg. 295. "'And she said that there were these various chakras and one of the big ones was what she called the spout hole, at the very top of your cranium' [He demonstrates where it is, the dolphin and whale spot.]".
    • E-fiction - relatively-recent phenomenon is the commercial (for-profit) "self-publication" of strictly- or primarily-electronic fiction under the banner of longtime "E-tailers" such as Amazon. This is NOT a vanity press as the author does not pay for the privilege of publication: they invest only their time and effort, and the "publisher" is merely a retailer who takes a percent-of-sale, not an up-front fee (in effect, the authors are paying for the publisher's "retail channel").
    - It might be likened to an author mill in some ways, but due to the low costs all round (and the lack of any guaranteed "vanity market" of the authors friends/family), it appears to be a different phenomenon. This is LIKE Web fiction, but usually offered via Amazon, Lulu, or the like, typically for low entry price (e.g. 99¢ per chapter for a novel, etc). Authors who are popular on fiction forums sometimes make the jump to professional writers (albeit nontraditionally so) in this way. The topic is too-briefly mentioned as a minor element of the existing article Self-publishing#Electronic_.28E-book.29_Publishing, but appears to merit its own entry, as modern electronic means have enabled a sea-change in the older concept of "self-publishing." [47]; [48]; [49]; [50]
    - The term "E-fiction" (that I've chosen) is perhaps overly-broad for the topic (the phrase connotes both commercial and free fiction) AND overly-narrow (the same model might apply to non-fiction); I note that "e-pub" is already in use, largely in the non-fiction realm. "E-fiction" might be useful as an umbrella for linking all these related topics. No other phrase has occured to me, that might concisely describe this phenomenon (and therefore be apt for titling an article).
    • epiphany (in literature) (a literary device made notable by James Joyce as a feature of modernist fiction but with roots in romantic poetry and counterparts in classical and religious literature) (https://literarydevices.net/epiphany/; for more scholarly definitions see the Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms by Christopher Baldick; A Glossary of Literary Terms by M.H. Abrams; Morris Beja's Epiphany in the Modern Novel.)
