I have found many lists of kanji ordered by their usage in newspapers, but are
there any lists that order by their usage in novels and other fictional
material?

This might be useful to have because if someone wanted to be able to read
Japanese novels well, they could study the kanji in the list.

answer
I managed to collect the data of kanji usage frequencies from various sources:

  * Japanese Wikipedia's snapshot
  * About 12900 files from [Aozora Bunko](http://www.aozora.gr.jp/) - these are mostly novels, I believe 
  * Public tweets from Twitter's Streaming API
  * Online news articles from various sources

You can find it [here](http://scriptin.github.io/kanji-frequency/). The one
you're looking for is "Aozora". There are files in JSON format in [the
repository](https://github.com/scriptin/kanji-frequency). Each file contains
JSON table, format is described in
[README.md](https://github.com/scriptin/kanji-
frequency/blob/master/README.md).
