"Imaginary story" would refer to stories that were non-canon. i.e. One's that might as well be from the imagination of one of the comic's own characters. A lot of wacky Silver Age DC covers would have "not an imaginary story!" emblazoned on them to ensure readers that this was the "real" DC Universe this silliness was happening in as a marketing hook.
Moore pointing out how it's a silly designation because literally all of comicdom's imaginary anyway, and that canon is a highly arbitrary designation. Any story is as valid as any other story. Everything is canon.Once again, Grant Morrision ripped him off.
Moore is a strong believer in the idea that all fictional realities are, in some multiversal context, real. He is referencing the belief that we ourselves are the characters of some great cosmic fiction.

In some interview Morrison was talking about how people thought he was crazy when he'd say that Superman is real and exists in a different dimension. So he'd grab a Superman comic and say "here he is, in the 2nd dimension"

That's pretty accurate, more or less.
>>80803640
Isn't he?
Imaginary shares a root word with image, after all. Stories, no matter how based on real events they are, are constructions of the storyteller. What you remember, what you choose to put in and leave out, how you choose to convey the "facts"- these are all products of the authors' imagination.

On a scale from Morrison to Moore, how crazy would I have to be if I started doing that?
>>80806074
That depends, which of them is the high end of the scale?
>>80806574
That's for you to decide.
