A fictionista is an artist of words.

That girl just told me, "Editors are made, not born." She must be a fictionista.

Factinista

A person, or group of people, who spend their lives telling others what is or is not a fact, based on what they have read in books.

Coined by Steven Colbert during a brilliant monologue at the White House Correspondents Dinner.
Ladies and gentlemen of the press corps, Madame First Lady, Mr. President, my name is Stephen Colbert and tonight it's my privilege to celebrate this president. We're not so different, he and I. We get it. We're not brainiacs on the nerd patrol. We're not members of the factinista. We go straight from the gut, right sir? That's where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. I know some of you are going to say "I did look it up, and that's not true." That's 'cause you looked it up in a book.

Prior to climbing the mountain the functionistas gathered at the trail head to triple check the pit zips on their gor-tex jackets, prime their camelbak hydration systems and compare multitools.

fictionitis

A disease common consisting of an obsession-rational or otherwise-with a fictional world, character, or state of being.

Symptoms include:

-Hyperventilating, shrieking, etc. at the mention of said fictional state

-Excessive discussion of said fictional state

-Belief that this fictional state is, in fact, a reality.

This ailment affects a large majority of the world's population. If one has never attained it, they are typically viewed as as "dull" or "lifeless." A cure has yet to be discovered.
Gracie was diagnosed with fictionitis when her friends noted her ceaseless blabbering about the said "Fault in Our Stars."

Jennifer had come to the conclusion that she had attained fictionitis when she failed to go a minute without squealing to her friends "Tobias Eaton is too hot for words!"
