Well, it's hard to say for sure. Maybe there are some behind-the-scenes issues affecting its progress. Or it could be in the works but not yet announced officially.
One story could be about a person who was wrongly accused of a crime. They were on the verge of being convicted when suddenly, new evidence emerged that completely exonerated them. It was like 'this is not happening' in the best way possible as their life was saved from being ruined by a false conviction.
There isn't really an all - out, physical 'war on fiction'. However, there are often debates and conflicts. In the education system, for instance, there are discussions about which fictional books should be included in the curriculum. Some parents or groups may object to certain fictions being taught to their children. This is a sort of 'war' in the sense of competing ideas about the role and value of fiction in an educational context.
