> These stories are not fiction. They are an amalgamation of the real experiences of people This claim bothers me. It might be a nitpick, but I think it's an important one. For a given amalgamation, it is fiction in a non-trivial way that there was a person who literally had all the experiences in the blog posts or tweets etc. that inspired that character. Truth values of facts are almost always dependent on the relationship to other facts. It would be perfectly respectable to simply say that your user stories are rigorously based on real-world experience, which is a good idea BTW, without claiming that they are "nonfiction". That's a needless epistemological liability.
