The first universally recognised example of [[fi-fi]] was {{author|Hunter Barkley}}’s 2022 curious opus the {{br|The ISDA Protocol}}. Barkley developed the concept in his series of short stories, {{br|The Opco Boone Adventures}}. The genre then split into so-called “[[hard fifi]]” and “[[mundane fifi]]”, in which all elements of the narrative elements were constrained by an overriding concern for juridical accuracy and a primacy placed on technical details, and [[soft fifi]] and “[[fantasy fifi]]”, where the emphasis is on the human element of the story and the technical feasibility or even possibility of the world-building is less important, and may be bent to accommodate the psycho drama. | The first universally recognised example of [[fi-fi]] was {{author|Hunter Barkley}}’s 2022 curious opus the {{br|The ISDA Protocol}}.

Later Barkley works were increasingly, well, derivative: while they noionally satisfied the critieria of mundane fifi world they were increasingly preoccupied with dark conspiracies and eschatological millenarianism — the weird, time-shifting {{br|The Atlantis Variation}} being a good example. | ||
Just how best to categorise Barkley’s own work has been the subject of much debate: its non-linearity and frequent digressions into the plainly made-up; self-aggrandising fantasy storylines placing thinly autobiographical characters in heroic roles, fits squarely into the [[Fantasty Fi-Fi]] camp; on the other hand dedicated followers point out that this fantasy world is in fact a brutal, painful, shockingly accurate rendition of how the world really is. | Just how best to categorise Barkley’s own work has been the subject of much debate: its non-linearity and frequent digressions into the plainly made-up; self-aggrandising fantasy storylines placing thinly autobiographical characters in heroic roles, fits squarely into the [[Fantasty Fi-Fi]] camp; on the other hand dedicated followers point out that this fantasy world is in fact a brutal, painful, shockingly accurate rendition of how the world really is. |
