What does it mean to say that something is fictional? Is something fictional a falsehood, or are there truths inside fiction? What does it even mean to say that truth can be found in fiction? What kind of truths would they even be?

This is repost of a discussion I had with Joe from Answers in Reason, where we discuss the idea of fiction and non-fiction, and truth in fiction. Along with many other topics related to the idea. Looking at questions like 'if fiction is falsehood, then can there be truth in fiction'?
