"Invented history" is a term I use for a story that's set in an invented world but doesn't involve magic or supernatural beings. It's not historical fiction because the setting isn't real, but it's not fantasy either because there's no magic. I like it very much, but there's not a lot of it about. Guy Gavriel Kay writes it (as do I, and Rick). See <A HREF="http://carlanayland.blogspot.com/2006/12/historical-fantasy.html" REL="nofollow">earlier post</A> for my definition and how it differs from historical fantasy etc.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11901028520813891575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-40859619265680243852007-12-20T14:12:00.000+00:002007-12-20T14:12:00.000+00:00Just a question - you say that Rocketpunk Manifest...Just a question - you say that Rocketpunk Manifesto covers "Invented history." I have to say that this is a term that I've not come across before, but it really intrigued me. <BR/><BR/>I did look on the blog, but nothing jumped out that was invented history, so I'm wondering if any Naylanders can give us a definition or some examples of it. <BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>RussRussell Whitfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874197474626399934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-68141477127357062322007-12-20T13:51:00.000+00:002007-12-20T13:51:00.000+00:00Congrats, Carla - you are the queen of vivacity, t...Congrats, Carla - you are the queen of vivacity, that's for sure. <BR/><BR/>Well done you!Russell Whitfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874197474626399934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-40472376022570696872007-12-19T19:59:00.000+00:002007-12-19T19:59:00.000+00:00Congrats Carla, and welcome to the club. :)Congrats Carla, and welcome to the club. :)Gabriele Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205770868139083575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19922276.post-68079976887701302422007-12-19T19:56:00.000+00:002007-12-19T19:56:00.000+00:00Many thanks, Carla!
