YOU DON'T THINK I'M REAL!!

Did I say that?  If you want to be fussy - I could be a fictional character.

You are only as real as the people who believe in you.  If you appear to 
answer mail, you pass the turing test, which is good enough for most 
people.  So therefore - you *may* exist, as everyone else on that crazed 
place called the Fanfic ML *may* exist.

I exist equally as much as WW does.

I am so glad characters from my stories don't invade my e-mail.

Loki: Says who?

Oof...well, only one anyway.

Michiko: Says who?

Will you two go away??

Ranma al'Thor: No, they won't...you can't scare us away, dubfriend!

YOU go and play in JOHN's mail at least, please.

al'Thor: But you BOTH created me.

I don't care.  GO!  <watches al'Thor head off into the distance, turns 
back to the other two>

Loki: You can't make us leave.  We'll hang around and pop up in your 
e-mail at interesting times and annoy you and...

Oh, great.  Does anyone have a vaccination for sig characters yet?

<notices Loki glaring at him, and brandishing a remote control of some 
kind...and Michiko hauling out a katana>  Uhm, I think I'd better sned 
this mail before something painful happens. ^_^;
