Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | When choosing a location to set a fictional work, an author has a few possible choices. Choose a real place and play this straight (for instance, NYPD Blue is expressly New York City and Cheers is distinctly Boston). Choose an entirely fictional place (like Alice in Wonderland). Choose a generic place name like Springfield, which belongs to multiple towns and could be Anytown. Or, lastly, use a Real Place Allusion to create a town which purports to be fictional -- but which is actually an obvious caricature of a real place under some other name (Bland-Name Product style) or a composite of multiple, identifiable real places. |
