I remember reading a post by Mithadan that talks about Men making up stories. I forgot where I read it though.

Considering that I have to base my proof on a post by Mithadan does show something though. I dont really remember a fiction being told, except for in songs. And those songs were by hobbits. I still think people in Middle Earth made fictional stories though, even elves. I think that in LOTR and The Hobbit, the hobbits (Who were the writers of the story) were always doing something more important. When you travel to Gondor and you are under the shadow you are more likely to hear of some history rather than fiction, if any story is told at all. I think you understand my point, but I cant explain it well.

I just think that elves didn't make many fiction stories. Like you have said, when the elves told stories they became immersed in them so that telling a story was like actually being there. An example would be Sam and Frodo sitting in the corner of the room in Rivendell while the elves sang songs. The hobbits 'fell asleep' and had fair visions of the songs they were hearing.

I wouldn't say that the hobbits fell asleep though. It seems more like they were simply so immersed in the elvish songs that they could not keep there eyes open and slowly drifted into a different dreams where they could fully realize the visions they were having. I think they were waking dreams though, not sleeping dreams.
