Greetings, everyone.

Originally, I was going to inquire about everyone's thoughts on birthdays and whether or not to adjust for time discrepancies between here and back home, but then I stumbled upon something most peculiar.

Phanfiction.net

This is a real site, and it seems to be run largely by the cognitions. There are stories about us, and many of them are quite absurd.

One of the summaries is...

"Falcon struggles with whether or not to honestly answer a captcha."

And then there's...

"Aki-chan brings home a pet dinosaur and has to hide it in his closet."

There are... interesting stories about myself and some of the people I am close to. There's even a fic about Igor's supposed history as a heartbreaker.

But perhaps the most perplexing is a bizarre love triangle between Falcon, Phoenix, and the Ren that goes by Fiend.

At any rate, read at your own discretion. I think it's all rather absurd and worth a laugh, but there is the ethical concern of our likenesses being used without consent.

Ah, I'm familiar with that trope.

Honestly, a skilled author can make a ship work while respecting the integrity of the characters.

But a skilled author wouldn't write fanfiction about real people.

I don't really understand the appeal of writing about real people... Isn't it more fun to write about fiction? So many things are more fun in fictional stories. Real life is more dull... or at least it used to be.

I never quite understood it myself.

But I do recall seeing speculative fiction about the Phantom Thieves once or twice. Absolutely ludicrous works, to say the least.

My world's Futaba delighted in informing us.
