Unfiction Is Way Cooler Than I Expected
This week we covered unfiction and honestly I didn’t know it was an actual genre. I thought it was just random creepy internet stuff. But once we looked at examples like Mystery Flesh Pit and SCP, it clicked for me.
Unfiction works because it plays by real-world rules. It doesn’t tell you it’s a story; you just stumble into it like it's a real document, website, or incident report. It’s kind of genius.
What stood out most was how much world-building goes into these projects. People create fake companies, fake government memos, fake logos; it’s like storytelling through clues instead of chapters.
It’s making me think differently about my transmedia project later this month.
