Discovery About Fictions Reading Their Canon

Postby Scarab on Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:00 pm

The witch as come through for us again guys. Just pop over here to her emails to see how.

Turns out that even though the characters can't read any written text or watch any movies pertaining to them... well, the most important thing she says, in short, is this:

Wicked Witch wrote:So I looked around for summaries of this film. I found, among other things, this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard ... (1939_film)
It seems to be a story about me! And Oz! And every summary I read celebrated my villainy.
This has hardened my resolve to return home, and reaffirmed my belief that it is possible.


In short? They can't read or percieve their canon, but they CAN READ THEIR WIKIPEDIA PAGES. This has already been successfully tested on both Sweeny Todd AND the Wicked Witch.
They sometimes say, "the place where I am right now was circled on a map for me"... Unfortunately, I kind of suck at orienteering.

GOOD WORK!
The wall will fall, if they stay; then we'll fight another day.
Never fear, the tropers here will help the written find their way.

And, in case you haven't noticed yet, this fact was successfully used to calm Sweeney down. All the limes in this thread should be doubled. :gurt:

Personally, I wouldn't, just because I'd prefer to play it safe. We don't have anything to gain from that, now that his plotline is suspended, but, considering his possible reactions (even though he accepted his nature), he may freak out. So I'd wait until it actually became relevant. Not that I can stop you if you think otherwise. ;)
And, by the way, I think we did link him to his page early on. :shock:

Um, I gave Holmes his. Sorry. Also, what do I get, as I despise sodas of all sorts? Hot chocolate? Milk? I require clarification.
Apparently, slightly less weird than most of you.
