This is a proposed rework of Xenofictional Literature.
An index of works primarily focused on Xenofiction — stories told from the perspective of regular or intelligent animals, or non-human fantasy creatures and aliens who do not think like humans — typically with a focus on how their worldview, thought process and outlook differs from that of humans.
Xenofiction and anthropomorphic are not one in the same, and though they often overlap, most works focused on two-legged anthropomorphic animals do not qualify as xenofiction.
For a quick test of if something is xenofiction — can you replace the non-human characters with humans and still have the story make sense without too much issue? If the answer is yes, it's not xenofiction.
