on edit: that is to say the content of the citations might be fabulated, while the rest is merely fabricated.
I think "confabulated" is more appropriate: "To fill in gaps in one's memory with fabrications that one believes to be facts."
That said I guess the version of fabulation I was using is pretty antiquated, probably due to my reading too much 19th century fiction where describing a passel of lies as a pure fabulation would be something people would do on the regular.
