1. The concept of "prose fiction" was changing. In Elizabethan era, prose fiction is identified by sonnete. Then, in greece and rome era prose fiction is more populare as verses than as prose novels. And nowadays prose fiction is not that way.
2. Prose fiction consists of many sub-genres. The main categories are the novel and the short story.
3. A narrative is a sequence of events, fictional or non-fictional, told or narrated by someone (the narator) to someone else.
4. In literary narrative, the person whom narrates the narrative is the narrator. The person to whom the narrative is narrated may be called audience or the reader, but is sometimes termed - more technically and abstractly - the narratee.
5. The whole business of how narrators narrate narratives to naretees is a sub-discipline itself, and is called narratology.
6. There is also a category of prose fiction texts in between: texts than can fill a whole book but do not seem quiet big enough. We might choose to call these short novels or long short stories. Or we might call them novellas.
