Summary/Abstract: A writer, accepting a pedantic strategy of creating of a world of literary work according to rules of physic and logic in real or in fiction-real is compelled to serve spacetime, because spacetime is one of the main elements determining a final effect of the author's work. Spacetime can determine the length of utterances of fictitious characters, influence plot solutions and construction solutions. It is able to change a mileage of an action of a literary work, too. An author has to agree on a compromise in the process of creating with a special attention for the cause of spacetime and its special attributes (e.g. boundedness and stretch).
