How do you know what category a story or short story is?
Claire asked:
I know there is fiction and non-fiction. But how do you know which one it is. I have a story that i made up but its not like a fantasy or one of those.

If you made it up, it’s fiction. If it’s 100% verifyable facts, it’s non-fiction.
Is it based on real events, completely? It is entirely true, then it is nonfiction. However, if it is based on real events, but you made up some of the material, it is fiction.
Fiction is not only fantasy. Your story is probably realistic fiction. If there’s any element that you made up, it’s fiction.
it could be realistic fiction
hope i helped
