For en.wikibooks, this has been official and enforced policy for well 
over a year now (nearly two years).  While this user/contributor may be 
wanting to change that policy and is certainly free to express that 
opinion, there doesn't really seem to be that much support to modify 
this policy.   Even with a major discussion to substantially revamp the 
"What is Wikibooks" policy, this has not even been a point that was 
raised at all.

And I would agree with you here... fiction is not appropriate for 
Wikibooks.  It is far too easy to have somebody contribute random stuff 
and get into a major edit war and cause all kinds of other mischief. 
Besides, the Novella Wikia does a pretty good job and has taken other 
formerly Wikibooks fictional content.
