"A fiction section" means an in-character part of the book, which is
then followed by an out-of-character part -- like in the NAGRL, Awakenings,
Fields of Fire, etc. The first half or more of each of those books was
written from the POV of someone in the game world, while the second section
had game rules to back up the things introduced in the first part.
