SIMILARLY, I think, Strawson opens his 'On referring' with a fairy-tale context of make-believe, "The king of France is bald". I think his point being that presupposition (or implication) for non-vacuousness of subject denotatum being non-fictional only. I think he suggests that there are 'implicature-triggers' for that. Oddly, "once upon a time" has nothing 'fictional' about it, yet it puts you in the mode, somehow.
(I use 'mode' regardless. -- After I read an attack on Grice on the indicative mood called "In the mood". Now I even use "In the mode").
