Sure. 'Sci - fi' is a very common alternative. It's a short and catchy way to refer to science fiction.
History. Science fiction usually creates new and imaginary scenarios, but history is about past events that actually happened. It's a record of real occurrences, in contrast to the made - up tales in science fiction.
Fan - written story. Since most fan fiction is written by fans, this term makes sense.
Naturalistic fiction. It is similar to realistic fiction as it presents a view of life that is based on the idea that nature and the environment play a big role in shaping human character and behavior. For instance, works that show how a person's upbringing in a rural or urban setting affects their life choices can be considered naturalistic and also realistic fiction.
I can't really recall any off - the - top - of - my - head that are specifically labeled as'me first science fiction'. But some stories where the protagonist is very self - centered could potentially fall into this category. For example, Ender's Game has elements where Ender is focused on his own survival and success in the battle school at first.
Winning reports. Think about it. Success stories are like reports of winning in different aspects of life. It could be in sports, where an athlete overcomes challenges and wins a championship. That's a success story, and it can also be seen as a winning report.
'Spinning a yarn' is also a way to say telling a story. It has a more informal and perhaps even a bit of a creative or fanciful connotation. Sailors used to spin yarns (tell stories) about their adventures at sea, often with a touch of exaggeration to make the story more exciting.
One example is 'Jurassic Park'. It involves the science of genetics and cloning, though highly dramatized. The movie shows how scientists might be able to bring extinct dinosaurs back to life using DNA from fossils. Another example is '2001: A Space Odyssey'. Here, the concept of artificial intelligence is explored through HAL 9000. And in 'Ender's Game', the military strategy and the use of technology in space battles are part of the'science of fiction' in that story.
Romance (in the sense of a long fictional story, not just love stories), opus (suggesting a major work of literature).
Exhalation. When a character blows out smoke, it can be described as an exhalation. For example, 'His exhalation of smoke was slow and deliberate, as if he was thinking deeply about his next move in the story.'
