This Is a Work of Fiction	comment	This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents either are products of the authorâ€™s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. Some form of this disclaimer can be found at the front of nearly every novel out there as well as in the credits of most films and TV episodes. It's an attempt to stave off libel suits; it seems to have originated as a response to a suit against the makers of the 1932 film Rasputin and the Empress by a Russian princess who believed one of the characters to have been modeled on her.note More precisely Princess Irina of Russia, the only biological niece of the last tsar, who was married to Rasputin's murderer, Prince Felix Yusupov Think of it as the more professional equivalent of I Do Not Own, though with more legal force.note I Do Not Own admits that the characters, etc. portrayed are someone else's intellectual property and used without permission: it's basically saying "It's Fair Use because I don't pretend it's mine" and it doesn't do much legally. This trope has nothing to do with intellectual property, and it's basically saying "if some of this seems Ripped from the Headlines, it wasn't intentional", so it has more legal significance. Minor historical footnoteIt's of some note that Rasputin and the Empress had the following text at the beginning of the movie: "This concerns the destruction of an empire ... A few of the characters are still aliveâ€”the rest met death by violence." In other words, it pretty much claimed that "Much of what follows is true." A justice involved in the UK libel case pointed out that MGM would have had a better chance if they had incorporated the direct opposite: a disclaimer that the film was not intended as an accurate portrayal of real people or events. And thus was a standard piece of legal boilerplate born. Sometimes this disclaimer is the only part of the movie that's fiction, especially when the real people in question lived long enough ago that they're not going to sue anybody. (And sometimes publishers make the mistake of putting it in books openly Based on a True Story; e.g., the first printing of the Touchstone paperback edition of Schindler's List.) Works Based on a True Story may use a modified disclaimer, acknowledging the historical basis for the work but stating that it doesn't necessarily conform 100% to history. Although not a Dead Unicorn Trope, this can easily be mistaken for one by the unobservant. When played straight, the disclaimer is generally buried amid a bunch of similar legalese (at the end of the credits or on the copyright page of the book, for example) where it might be easily missed. More playful versions are generally given much more prominent placement, so everyone can recognize how clever the creators are being, though subtle modifications of the phrase "persons living or dead" may be easily missed by less alert viewers. If a work uses Write Who You Know, the issue will probably be avoided. A Sub-Trope of Our Lawyers Advised This Trope. Compare No Celebrities Were Harmed, No Communities Were Harmed. Contrast Falsely Advertised Accuracy, where you have a work of fiction that the author tries to pass off as true or accurate. Compare and contrast "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer which often includes a list of which parts the author is making up.

In the final trial you learn that it's actually an in-universe message, as the game is a Meta Sequel where the previous Danganronpa games and anime are fictional, and that the current killing game is an "Ultimate Real Fiction" reality show based on the series where the participants have had their memories and identities erased and replaced with fictional ones more suited to the Danganronpa universe.

This Is a Work of Fiction / int_2bbcacd9	comment	The Looney Tunes cartoon Rocket Squad, an homage to Dragnet, had the following disclaimer: The story you are about to see is true. The drawings have been changed to protect the innocent. Daffy Duck and Egghead opens with a foreword stating that the ducks depicted are fictitious, and any ducks seen in the picture, "living or roasted, are purely coincidental." Porky Pig's Feat has "Any resemblance between this hotel and real hotels, living or dead, is coincidental." Porky's Road Race has the forward: "All the characters in this picture are strictly phony! Any fancied resemblance to any living person is the bunk! Any incident portrayed is pure fiction!" Porky's Building opens with a disclaimer saying that the similarities to actual persons and events is definitely intended ("If you think we're going to sit around for days thinking up new ideas - you're pixilated!"). Detouring America, a 1939 parody of short travelogues, starts with the disclaimer "All states depicted in this photoplay are fictitious. Any similarity to actual states, either Democratic or Republican, is purely co-incidental."

If they admit that they intentionally made the guy look bad they are guilty of defamation. If they publicly say that the movie was a work of fiction then the movie loses a lot of its appeal since they based their advertising and Product Placement on the fact that it is an accurate depiction of actual events.

This Is a Work of Fiction / int_2f203125	comment	Almost all the Shin Megami Tensei games have this disclaimer at the beginning in some form. Can be seen at the beginning of both the English and Japanese versions of the Raidou Kuzunoha games, perhaps due to the historical(ish) setting and the use of a few Historical Domain Characters. Persona 5 plays with this by not only including the disclaimer, but making the player agree to it before starting a new game. If you don't, you get sent back to the start screen. The message takes on a sinister new meaning with some of the end game reveals by making it clear that the Big Bad is the one voicing the message and by accepting, the players agree to reject the existence of the Phantom Thieves. Another way it plays with this trope involves The Velvet Room: In previous Persona games, access to The Velvet Room is restricted to only those who have a contract. But you never signed such a contract in game, in the end it turns out you did sign a contract: the big bad took over the Velvet Room, and the "this is a work of fiction" disclaimer that was read to you at the game's start WAS in fact a contract that lets you enter the Velvet Room, and you agreeing to its terms was you signing said contract. When booting up Persona 3 Reload, this disclaimer is the first thing displayed on the screen, alongside Content Warnings for some of the potentially upsetting themes shown in the game.

Rozemyne, who's using her Past-Life Memories from Earth to introduce printing to the setting, tries to make money by selling mass-produced illustrations of Ferdinand in the Noble's Quarter, but quickly gets discovered and Ferdinand's veto on the activity. Rozemyne continues via all the Loophole Abuse she can think of, including illustrating printed stories with a Comic-Book Fantasy Casting version of Ferdinand. For the occasion, she also introduces a common disclaimer from Earth:

This Is a Work of Fiction / int_8dfbdff2	comment	Many episodes of shows from the Law & Order franchise begin with the caption "The following story is fictional and does not depict any actual person or event." Some have a modified version: "Although inspired by true events, the following story is fictional." Experienced viewers know that either means "Okay, this story's been Ripped from the Headlines. Please don't sue us." The series pilot film "Everybody's Favorite Bagman" and the first-season episode "Indifference" both ended with a caption and voice-over pointing out that while the stories were similar to, respectively, a scandal at the Parking Violations Bureau and the child-killing of Lisa Steinberg, both episodes were fictional. (In the latter case, the disclaimer cites specific differences between the real case and the episode.) These remain the only explicit disavowals in the franchise's history. In episodes that aren't Ripped from the Headlines but show parts of the legal system as corrupt, a modified version specifically stating that the episode is fictional and doesn't actually represent the department and is not meant to imply anything.

It apparently involves some of the actual characters, providing a motive for the next murder, though Danganronpa 3 retcons the situation somewhat. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony has one at the beginning of the game, which is rather unusual since the series has never had one before. In the final trial you learn that it's actually an in-universe message, as the game is a Meta Sequel where the previous Danganronpa games and anime are fictional, and that the current killing game is an "Ultimate Real Fiction" reality show based on the series where the participants have had their memories and identities erased and replaced with fictional ones more suited to the Danganronpa universe.

Edward Van Sloan (Van Helsing in the film) speaks directly to the audience, giving them what sounds like a reassuring message about the fictitious nature of the preceding film... until he gets to the kicker: "There are such things as vampires!" Sadly, this epilogue was cut from the film's 1936 re-release (for fear of offending religious groups), and is now lost.

Any references to historical events, real people, or real locales are used fictitiously. Other names, characters, places, and incidents are the product of the author's imagination, and any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental."

Unlike most anime that use this trope, this one is deadly serious, considering that historical revisionism of World War II is a very touchy subject in East Asia. This is pretty gutsy from a series that in fact goes against the popular (in Japan) interpretation by not ignoring Japan's role in what happened and presenting it as a bad thing.
