'''Fictional googology''' ('''FG''') is the 'niche' interest of creating fictional numbers, often above an absolute value of {{wp|Absolute infinite|Absolute Infinite}} or below 0, often assigning {{wp|Unicode|Unicode}} characters to them. Fictional googology was common, as well as widely accepted on [[TextWall]], but it faces near-universal criticism and rejection among OWOT's users. Fictional googology is meant to be a fringe theory of {{wp|Googology|standard googology}} and is typically considered by OWOT's users as more of a play of math than the real field of mathematics. Individuals who engage in fictional googology are known as '''fictional googologists''', '''FGers''', or '''FGists'''.
'''Fictional googlology''' ('''FG''' or '''fg''') is the niche hobby of assigning {{wp|Unicode}} characters as names for fictional numbers. Fictional googology is common, as well as widely accepted, on [[TextWall]], but it faces near-universal stigmatization among OWOT's users. While fictional googology is meant to be an offshoot of {{wp|Googology|standard googology}}, it is typically regarded by OWOT's users as more of an art project that primarily serves as entertainment for children than a mathematical pursuit. People who engage in fictional googology are known as '''fictional googologists''', '''FGers''', or '''FGists'''.
