Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Literary works that take the point of view of normal or intelligent animals, or nonhumanoid aliens, with particular attention to differences in perception or outlook.

Keep in mind that Xenofiction is not synonymous with anthropomorphic.

If you can replace the non-humans with (maybe superpowered) humans without too much trouble, it's probably not Xenofiction. Beast Fables and works about Funny Animals are, in general, not examples.

Before you add a work to this category, especially if it's about animals, ask yourself these questions: Is the work set in an animal parallel of human society? Do the non-human characters talk the way humans do? Do the non-human characters consistently use human reasoning? Do the non-human characters do things that are typically associated with humans? If one or more of these things is the case, this book is not xenofiction and do not index it on this page.
