I prefer fiction due to the fact that it allows you to explore your imagination. It seems like in all non-fiction stories it is all sad, but in fiction you can get into the story and actually wish it was happening to you. Even in the scary or sad fiction stories you can tell yourself that it never happened. Also in the genre fantasy it is called that for a reason. If something is a fantasy something it is something that you enjoy and wish that it could happen to you. It becomes an escape for you from the real world.
