Haven't published anything yet (first story in the queue now), but the stories I am writing all have their base in real life experiences. So at least part of what happened in every story (usually the start) will have happened in real life. Then I venture off into fantasy, things I would have liked to have happened rather than what actually happened (which in several cases was, nothing at all). Ideas for future stories are likely going to be fully fantasy based, possibly with inspirations from other stories.
