So I started writing it. I figured out what would be going on in this game. And then I thought "Man, the title 'Taco Fiction' sounds a lot like the title of that famous movie 'Pulp Fiction.' I should watch that movie before I release a game that sounds like it." So then I watched the movie, and I thought that it was great. And then I finished writing the game.
