So does anonymous writer need a name besides "she"? I'm not entirely sure. Let's ask her.
@@@@@@@
Narrator: anonymous writer character, if you had a name what would it be?
Anonymous Writer Character: That's not possible, I'm anonymous.
Narrator: No you're not. You're somebody, aren't you? Everybody's somebody.
Anonymous Writer Character: Not really. I used to be imaginary. I'm just retired now.
Narrator: Imaginary friends can't retire
Anonymous Writer Character: Heck yes they can. I decided to become real.
Narrator: What's the difference, then.
Anonymous Writer Character: The difference is obviously that I'm real now.
Narrator: Well what's so great about being real? Oh, and can I call you AWC?
Anonymous Writer Character: AWC is fine.
Narrator: Ok, AWC. Why would you want to be real?
AWC: So that I could mean something to people for an extended period of time, and not be forgotten.
Narrator: But AWC, you're a fictional character that the real writer who's typing this right now created about a month ago. You're not real, you're never going to be real.
AWC: At least I'm more than just a voice.
Narrator: (sighs) True. True. So, got any friends?
AWC: My reporter friend who's so much cooler than me.
Narrator: Others?
AWC: Many. I have my fellow Order members, that's shadow and Jack. There's also Raven and all your mom's children, Paolo, Loretta, and Mary-Anne. There's Narcissa and Forget-me-not. Forget-me-not is a cat, Narcissa is just a Narcissist, but she will definitely discover what's up before we all do. Paolo is a foreigner, Loretta is a dragon lady, Mary-Anne is a maneater, Raven is probably sane, Jack is searching for his true self, and shadow is shadow. I think shadow might be an owl but I'm not positive, he seems more like a wolf to me.
Narrator: fewer things are worse than wolves disguised as owls.
AWC: I agree with you one hundred percent.
Narrator: got any more... um... characters?
AWC: Hmmm. Sensei and Chameleon. Then there's a suzumibachi. And a margarine-substitute. Then a hedgehog midget mastermind and a great mooselover. The list goes on.
Narrator: are any of these people real?
AWC: they aren't all people
Narrator: Which ones are people then?
AWC: your guess is as good as mine.
Narrator: So your name's going to stay AWC forever?
AWC: my name actually changes alot. And I have many of them. Many changing names.
Narrator: Oh great. You know what? AWC is good enough for me. Let's stick with that. Yeah. That works.
AWC: I have a question now.
Narrator: Ok, shoot.
AWC: Are you and me the same being?
Narrator: Are you and me the same being?
