This is the PM we wish to send Ed regarding the 'Opening Dialogues with Fictionals' issue. It's here so eveyrone can see it before it's sent (and if Ed comments on the forum, then we won't need to send it.)
Dear Ed
A few of us have come up with an idea for how we might deal with our situation. We thought it best to forward this plan to you, and ask if you might again forward it to Joe for his opinion. We will NOT move on it until we have both of your say so’s.
We think its past time that our situation with the fictionals was discussed with them. We made the following post in general discussion (you may have seen it), discussing a plan to open a dialogue with ALL of the fictional characters: total honesty concerning who we are and what our plans are, and ASKING the fictions whether they want to go home, or if they wish to take ‘The Third Option’
The third option, as you know we’ve all been discussing, would be a world we would write, based on their own, with an open end, where they can have what they desire –freedom. Essentially we would NOT be changing Mister A’s plan to ‘write them back into their own universe’... we’d just give the fictionals the option to choose HOW we wrote them: whether back to their own world, or into a new context where they would be free from their former restrictions (but also not HERE, where their presence will harm the world.)
We believe this plan would gain us the trust of the fictionals, and give us some weight against the Cabal should they attempt to undermine us. (If we are entirely honest, then they can’t accuse us of misleading people. It’s only a matter of time before the Cabal start misquoting us and confusing the other fictional into thinking we hate their guts and don’t care what we do to them which of course is not true)
The post is here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=540
We would like to ask permission for you to create an Opening Dialogues Section for every fictional and, if possible, have a link to said Section on Joe’s website, where we could communicate with the individual fictionals regarding their personal desires, and work out a solution best suited to them.
Some of us are working on writing the actual Opening Dialogues post now and will post it on the forum where everyone can view and finalise it together. We have no desire to make this into some surreptitious discussion that only a few can read (Meta: and we know you guys may have your own plans that we know nothing of, in which case –veto away!) but we think it’s time for action.
Thank you for reading.
