Upon Reading Last Night's Mod Post

A lot of the meta stuff that's been going on in the bar has been me, through Wensley. I sincerely apologise if this has offended or upset anyone.

The theory I was planning on having Wensley decide on is the theory that all of the universes, if you will, are real, and that they somehow leak into other realities in the form of fiction.

But. If anyone is upset about this and doesn't want their character included - or wants me to stop altogether - please let me know, and I'd be happy to discuss.

Again, sorry about any issues I've caused.

That sounds a lot like, Heinlein's theory... I forget the name of it, if there ever was one, but it goes along the lines of "every time someone creates a universe in fiction, that universe comes into existence somewhere in the multiverse." A theory I've always liked... :)

That actually sounds even better. :)

I personally have no problem with Wensley's project, and as has been discussed, I'd rather like for Liz to be canon-punctured. Aside from that, I think that having an IC basis for characters to believe this theory regarding other characters is a good idea. Rather than people forcing their characters into responses that might potentially be OOC, the characters would simply be able to hear of this theory, and keep it in mind ICly when dealing with other characters they might recognise. It makes sense.

Of course, that's just my opinion. ;)

Oh, that's an excellent point about having an IC basis for the Leakage Theory.
