Sorry but the use of “MFA” on this app is getting a bit goofy. MFAs are just graduate arts programs for writers and these days have classes on every genre and subgenre including second world fantasy. Basic craft concepts like “free indirect” speech or a preference for showing over telling are in no way restricted to MFA programs, 21st century American realism (I guess that’s what is meant as a target?), or any type of fiction at all. These are common techniques in like any hardboiled detective book or cyberpunk novel too. Conversely, they are not required constraints of MFAs, literary realism, or anything else.
