The phrase "fictitious by" is not grammatically correct and does not make sense in written English.
It is unclear what the intended meaning is. Here are two ways the phrase could be revised to be correct and usable in a sentence: 1. "The story was fictitious." ("Fictitious" means fake or not real, so adding "by" does not make sense in this context.) Example: The students read a fictitious story about a talking unicorn. 2. "The story was written by a fictitious author." (In this case, "fictitious" is being used to describe the author as not real or made up.) Example: The novel was presented as a true story, but it was actually written by a fictitious author.
