"Oh, but it does," Adam said with a smile on his face,
obviously quite enjoying the conversation.  "In my world, your
dimension is a television show!"

You know, this is a part of otaku-fics that I hate, the part when
they tell the fictional characters way more than they needed to know.

You know this is part of what I like best a SI fics, the
knowledge you have and trying to explain it. I mean if
someone showed up in this world with that type of knowledge
about you and tried to explain it by telling you he is from
another dimension, where you are a fictional character, who
is about to start an incredible life! Would you believe it?
How could they convince you, that they aren't just spies (
ala Truman Show, An Enemy of the State) .
This can be a lot of fun to deal with in a story.

When in danger or in doubt, run in circles,
                    scream and shout.

Always listen to experts. They'll tell you
                    what can't be done, and why. Then do it.

If violence is not solving your
problems you're just not using enough of it.

"I guess I'm just an old-fashioned sentimentalist at heart.
I refuse
 to accept a no-win scenario.  I hate the thought of a
universe without
 justice.  If the maneuverings of dark powers can't be
exposed and
 defeated by the pure of heart, then there's no point in
anything.  I
 can't believe that."
