If a piece of fiction is shared, it is part of the Shared Imagined Space.
It's not a matter of what we're imagining together. (I don't think that's possible, right?)
But we can lay out a bit of fiction—like a writer typing a sentence that a person can read, or a storyteller describing how the wolf enters the house, or a crew on a film creates an image of a character reacting to news—and now it's shared.
And what is shared among everyone at the table is the Shared Imagined Space. Until then, its story-stuff-flotsam floating around in the heads of one or more people.
Right?
