There's a problem with narratives. Most that spring to mind are fictional.

I have realised just how important it is to readers to feel that fictional stories are based on reality.

I think we have become oversaturated with tired fictional narratives.

It's part of a cycle of stories I'm writing where I deconstruct classic science fiction.

For me, there's a fine line between telling a story that's fictional with lots of details and then removing yourself too much from it, so it's bloodless, a little too fictional.

My sister-in-law believes that few narratives are so tightly constructed that you can't skip boring bits and still keep abreast of what's going on.

I don't generally read a lot of fiction.

I create fictional narratives, but it's based on literal people.

I tend to resist invitations to interpret my own fiction.

I don't read a great deal of fiction, to my shame, other than the classics.
