Fiction++-+Short+Story


 * Members:** Collin Ullmann, Zach Kaufaman, Zack Byron, Chris Dootz


 * Genre Definition**: A fully developed plot and setting but significantly more concise than a novel, containing fictional/hypothetical aspects to fabricate a story.

Important Terms and Strategies:

 * Setting-** Must be well described. The better the understanding of the setting, the easier it is for the reader to interpret the big picture.
 * Plot-** Should happen quickly to get somewhere because the story is short.
 * Character Development-** Don't go into too much depth. The plot is usually more important.
 * Point of View-** Normally 1st person, however 2nd person also seems to be common. 3rd person works well too.
 * Dialogue-** Use to keep the story interesting (especially with a very character developed story).
 * Conflict-** Somewhat important; depends on the story.
 * Climax-** Should be extremely intense to make the story interesting.
