Non-fiction or fiction? Reflective thoughts

Having sent out various letters to past homes and only having one reply, I may have to create a fictional  sequence. I fear one home to create a sequence may not be enough, and I ideally wanted a "well-lived" in home for effective context. Therefore, my plan now is to follow the same proposal but simply inside the homes of people I already know and study/photographically document their interior. Much visual inspiration coming from the previously studied photographers - Adele Watts and Heather McDonough. Intimacy between objects and space and use of strong visuals, soft natural light.
