I have no interest in fiction

I don’t watch fiction and don’t read books anyway , nevermind fiction books. I don’t listen to fiction audiobooks.

I’m a fiction free zone.

I’ll make an exception once a year for a good science fiction movie though. But that’s about it.

How do you all feel about fiction?

I hold some fiction in extremely high esteem. I think it allows for the transfer of ideas in a way that non fiction does not.

Also fiction is an incredible barometer for the state of affairs, the zeitgeist or what have you.

I really like Jim Henson Productions

Same here, aside from childhood I don’t do fiction either. Every once in a while I’ll watch a TV series, or an anime series. That’s about it for me

I’m not a fiction guy anymore, I used to be into fantasy books like from authors Terry Brooks or Robert Jordan and even Terry Goodkind but not anymore. I like reading spiritual stuff now that Im older maybe because my death is getting closer now and I have less time ahead of me than behind me.

For reading, no fiction at all but almost exclusively academic stuff and some news websites. As for tv/films, I watch current affairs but never watch documentaries but mainly fiction, mostly even pretty basic superficial stuff like romcoms. And then for listening it is longform interviews again.

The best fictional works connect to a very real and human experience. Many of my favorite books, movies and series are fiction. Though not true events, the heart of it is something I can relate to. The characters and scenarios can mirror our lives even more strongly than non fiction.

I enjoy fiction. For me it is an escape from reality.

I have no interest in reality as it needs more car chases, explosions, and vampire hookers.

Fiction is great, but i am not a fan of superhero movies…

The urge and desire to have super abilities which is who the producers appeal to, is redundant to me. Bothering to stretch my imagination to such capabilities is silly to me.

Sci-fi like bladerunner is good though.

I used to read fiction a lot more and enjoy it when I do but I struggle to make time for it now. Film wise I like good science fiction but have never get into action / Marvel etc. I would rather watch something about real people with real things that could happen rather than anyone with superpowers.
