      I've been thinking about Science Fiction and Fantasy, and I think there's something interesting going on in these genres that isn't (easily) available in others.

      See, in Science Fiction and Fantasy, you do two and a half things. 0. Build the world. 1. Reveal it. 3. IDK, something with character and plot, I guess?

      The most highly praised SFF authors are the best world builders, while their plot and characterization are sometimes mediocre. Where, in a novel set in the current day, plot and character are supreme, and the world is a given.

      Maybe in historical fiction, you can get world revealing without world building. Or something weird like _Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates_, where they stop the story for whole chapters to give you a travelogue.

      In the other direction, you get what I've called _non-narrative fiction_, like _The Science of Discworld_, where the world building is the only content. A common version of this is RPG supplements.

      I feel like there's something to be said about Fan Fiction here, where they don't have to do any world building or revealing, and just take it as a given, leaving them room to focus on plot and characterization. (And porn, of course.)
