    Well, my prospects are dim since I hate children anyway. My sister's all career-minded right now, too. She's got motherly qualities already, though, so I'm sure she'll provide the family with some heirs one day.

    Did you miss the incest joke, or were you just ignoring it?

    I don't dignify such base humor with a response. :o

    And yet you use such base humor all the time.

    Yes, hence the irony. See? I can do... um... acidic humor, too.

    What I think is this:

    Thanks to some funky quantum math (don't ask me) It seems like every single possibilty, must exist - that's the multiverse. Parelel dimensions, when you had a three way with Christina Ricci and a young Tia Carrere, while after getting back to shape from your affair with Doomsday and the Six Million Dollar Man. Things like this, obscure as they are, still possibilites, so in one of the worlds must happen.

    (Or not. Whatever. I work with photoshop, so don't ask me how the multiverse theory works.)

    I think, the way our world works: if someone writes a story, or a "fable" enters the public's conciusness, their world will get closer to us, and make crossing possible, or even likely. Or even better, our world acts as a central hub, and our stories are organizing these worlds around us (Hence the shared realities of the Homelands.)

    What if the metaphysics works in the opposite? Their entire corporeal Homeland and all characters within it live in their physical universe because our writers in this dimension created them? That could possibly account for why they're stronger (or more resistant to death) the more we believe in them.

    It's very likely. However, there is the fact that the Fables are very hard to kill because they are apart of the public conscious. Similar to the version of the gods from Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics and novel "American Gods." We created them with our belief and worship of them, and because of that the more they are believed in and worshiped, the stronger they are.

    You said it first, but I referenced Neil Gaiman. Who do you think it should go to?

    Considering I haven't read American Gods, probably me. :p

    Hmmm. That's fair, I guess. But you should read American Gods. Great book.

    That was the reasoning behind the DC Olympians long before American Gods came out. :p

    I know, I just haven't got around to it yet. I've read Neverwhere and Good Omens though.

    I enevr said it wasn't. I simply referenced American Gods because that's what I thought of first.

    Preacher's good. It's about even with Fables as far as my own personal enjoyment of each goes. I think Fables has had more stand-out individual issues, though.

    Deal with what? I know Gaiman didn't invent the concept. American Gods was just the first example of it I could think of.

    You're a very confusing individual.



    Anyway. Fables rocks. I'm just wondering. Do you yous think that we'll ever get a story where Fabletown is exposed to the rest of the world?

    That's sweet of you to say. :)

    How do you know I'm an individual, though? Maybe I'm a collective like... I don't know, Shakespeare or something?

    Shakespear was a Klingon. Not a Borg. Everyone knows this. :o

    Shakespear would weep if he knew he was being associated with Star Trek.

    Shakespear was a f***ing Constructicon.
