There's an old saying (I think first used by Mark Twain) that goes something like "the only difference between fiction and reality is fiction has to be believable."

My personal preference as a reader is for stories that I can imagine actually happening. I can suspend disbelief a little bit more than that, but extreme scenarios don't usually do it for me, even if they're still within the realms of somebody else's reality.

As a writer, it depends a lot on my audience. If I'm simply wanting to give them quick jollies, I'm not afraid to write anything. If I know my audience has specific tastes, I can write that also, and more seriously than for the first audience. If I'm writing to just please myself, then I write stories that embellish some part of my real life or people I know in a way that the distinction between fantasy and reality blurs.
