No. While many novels are works of fiction, there are also novels based on real - life events or people, which are often called historical novels or biographical novels. For example, 'War and Peace' by Leo Tolstoy is a novel that incorporates a great deal of historical detail from the Napoleonic era. It weaves fictional characters and storylines into the framework of real historical events.
Not necessarily. Graphic novels can cover a wide range of genres, not just fiction. There are also non-fiction graphic novels that deal with real events, biographies, and educational topics.
NaNoWriMo isn't strictly limited to fiction. While fiction is common, it's open to any form of creative writing. Some participants have written self-help books or biographical works during NaNoWriMo.
No. While a large number of graphic novels are in the fiction sections, there are also graphic novels in the non - fiction areas. For example, there are biographical graphic novels that tell the real - life stories of people. These belong more in the non - fiction category.
No. Superheroes can't be only one or the other. Even the most 'fantasy' superhero like Dr. Strange, who deals with magic and other - worldly dimensions, still has elements that could be considered science - fiction. His knowledge of arcane arts could be seen as a form of advanced science that we don't understand yet. And for a very science - fiction superhero like Spider - Man, his origin story has a bit of a 'fantasy' element in that he was bitten by a radioactive spider. It's not a common, real - world occurrence.
No. Mermaids also have a strong presence in mythology. In many ancient cultures' mythologies, mermaids were part of their belief systems, not just fictional stories for entertainment like in science fiction.
Definitely not. Themes can be found in all kinds of books. In self - help non - fiction books, themes such as personal growth, dealing with stress, and building relationships are common. Even in a cookbook, there could be a theme like healthy eating or quick and easy meals.
Definitely not. Werewolves are not only science fiction. They are deeply ingrained in mythology and superstition from various cultures around the world. In ancient times, people believed in the existence of werewolves as real entities, not just as a fictional concept in a science - based story. Even today, in some horror and supernatural genres that are not strictly science - related, werewolves play a major role.
