Abduction fantasy fiction often involves a forced removal or taking of a character (or characters) from their normal environment, which is usually central to the plot. In regular fantasy, this may not be the case. For example, in abduction fantasy, like in stories of alien abductions, the abduction sets off a chain of events. While in regular fantasy, the story might be more about exploring a pre - existing magical world without this kind of forced displacement.
In 'Under the Dome' by Stephen King, although not a traditional abduction in the sense of aliens taking people away, the town is 'abducted' in a way, cut off from the rest of the world by an invisible dome. It has elements of fantasy as the townspeople face strange phenomena within the dome and it can be seen as a form of abduction into a strange new world.
Once upon a time, a young girl named Lily was abducted by a group of fairies. They took her to their magical realm. The fairies lived in a glittering forest filled with talking animals. Lily was scared at first, but soon she realized the fairies were kind. They showed her their secret gardens and taught her how to make flower crowns. Eventually, they sent her back home with a bag of enchanted seeds, which she planted in her own garden and grew the most beautiful flowers ever.
Another is 'The Taken' by Vicki Pettersson. It has elements of abduction within a complex urban fantasy setting. The story weaves in mystery and action around the abduction plot.
Not really. These types of stories are a very niche genre. Most mainstream readers tend to be more interested in other types of science fiction like space exploration, time travel, or post - apocalyptic scenarios. Only a small group of readers who have a specific interest in the more 'taboo' or 'exotic' aspects of science fiction might be into alien abduction sexual fiction stories.
Well, 'Communion' is a well - known abduction fiction story. It's based on the supposed real - life experiences of the author regarding alien abduction, but presented in a fictional narrative. Then there's 'Fire in the Sky' which is about a man's claim of being abducted by aliens and his subsequent return. 'Kidnapped' by Robert Louis Stevenson is also a sort of abduction story, though more in the context of human - on - human abduction in a historical adventure setting.
In most cases, these are fictional concepts. There are no real - world widespread occurrences of gay - specific abductions for body modification. It's often a part of horror or very extreme and unethical fictional stories. However, in the realm of bad - faith propaganda, such false ideas might be spread to create fear and prejudice.
One of the well - known ones is 'The Taking' by Dean Koontz. It's a gripping tale where strange abductions occur and the mystery unfolds in a very suspenseful way.
Common elements include a strange or otherworldly abductor. This could be fairies, aliens, or some magical force. There's also a journey involved. The abducted character is taken on a journey, whether it's through space like Tom's journey with the aliens or through a magical realm like Lily's trip with the fairies. And there is often a resolution at the end. The character either returns home changed, like Emma with her magic leaf, or they achieve something in the new place they've been abducted to, which gives the story a sense of closure.
A frequent theme is the discovery of self. The abduction experience forces the character to re - evaluate who they are. In 'A Wrinkle in Time', Meg's journey after abduction helps her understand her own strengths. Also, the theme of the unknown is prevalent. Abduction often takes the character to an unknown realm or situation, and they have to figure out what's going on. Like in 'The Iron King', the abducted girl has to understand the rules of the faerie world she's been taken to. And there's often a theme of redemption or escape, as the abducted tries to get back to their normal life or find a new purpose.
