Proposed new Schema.org type for poetry and fiction

Hi

I am thinking about proposing a new schema.org type for poetry, fiction, 
and other types of creative writing, as a subType of schema.org/Article, 
perhaps with an additional property that can be used to classify what 
type of creative writing it is (e.g. poem, haiku, sonnet, short story, 
fan fiction, etc.).

As a subtype of schema.org/Article the new Type would inherit the 
pagination, pageEnd, pageStart, and wordCount properties, as well a 
number of relevant and useful properties from schema.org/CreativeWork 
(author, copyrightHolder, isPartOf, and many more).

Before I start drafting out a proposal I wanted to solicit the list's 
knowledge and advice:

* Are there any other properties that might be needed?
* Are there any existing standards for describing pieces of creative 
writing that we should examine that might suggest other new properties 
that might be needed?
* Is there a better name for this proposed new Type than 
schema.org/CreativeWriting ?
* Are there any _specialist_ controlled vocabularies for fiction/poetry 
available as Linked Open Data that publishers might want to use with 
this new Type?

Regards,

Paul
