  A fiction is not a lie. by hej 2008-08-26 12:49:54
But if the story is a fiction then it is by definition the intent of the sender that the reciever should know that it is fiction. So publishing/passing on a piece of fiction with the intention of making somebody believe that it is true is a lie even though the fiction in a different context isn't.
