The problem is: fiction carries a strong suggestion of the novel and of the crafted story. And we've seen this play out all the time with the term story in relation to RPGs. I see it constantly as a way of advocating for GM as storyteller for example. And since the purpose of a sandbox is largely to eschew any kind of directed story by the GM, I think that is why folks like me push back on the term "the fiction" and "fiction" (at least in online discussions; I don't care when it is used casually at the table). Also I think it is a cloudy term, the way it gets implemented because it often seems to blur setting and events that happen in the setting involving the PCs. I like to keep a pretty strong distinction between those things.</p></blockquote><p></p>
