I'll give you a real example, maybe that would help. I write a novel about fictious slave family during the civil war. If I write in my book about Abe Lincoln molesting a little slave girl, would that be OK? I mean my book is just fiction, right? So what if I slaughter the character of an American Hero and have no real basis for it.

I'm thinking of writing a book in which Congress passes a law stipulating that every person is suddenly 25% more wealthy and an evil villain who has been threatening the world for almost a hundred years is killed and his dead body is paraded through the streets by the wealthy mob while they all head off on vacation with their new cars and boats.

Do you think I could get this on the non-fiction list, or should I stick with fiction?

Everyone will know that's fiction, because Abraham Lincoln was gay. </sarcasm>
