Keyowrds: Empty fictions, fictions, method for producing fictions. 

Abstract: An empty fiction is a fiction with no content—that is, a fiction in which no propositions are (fictionally) true. The central question of this article is, are such fictions possible?Here, I argue that they are. More specifically, after first examining and rejecting five potential arguments for the possibility of empty fictions, I goon to develop a more successful argument. Along theway, Iintroduce a new method for producing fictions via complementation functions.
