What Manx meant, Phillipe, is that runner comments/shadowtalk is not
perceived as fiction, in this sense. AFAIK, by fiction, they mean embedded,
and lengthy, in-character texts, like Hatchetman's description of
cybermancy, or the story of Rennie. The opening story at the start of the
various BBB's would also count.

A summary of a corp, supposedly written by a runner, with shadowtalk
embedded, wouldn't be fiction for the purposes of the awards (though, of
course, it would be fictional).
