<HTML>If you jump into an autobiography, are the characters you meet exactly the same as the author and friends?
What happens if you push an author of an autobiography inot that book? (Apart from maybe a boojum.)
I mean, if it's a biography, no trouble there, as you'll meet the people the author thinks the subeject and his/her family were, but what if it's an autobiography?</HTML>

<HTML>Well, people rarely see themselves as they truly are, so chances are good that the autobiographical character would be slightly different from the author. Dunno what would happen if you pushed an author into his autobiography, except possibly a fistfight. ;) "I'm real!" "No, I am!!" "No, me!" "Me!" "Me!" Heavens forbid there should be any undedicated dialogue in such an instance...</HTML>

<HTML>I'm sure this came up before, but I can't remember what everybody else said. Which is probably proof that autobiographies rarely reflect the real world.
Also, this means there is a potential loophole for Thursday to get Landen back - especially as I seem to remember him planning to write an autobiog - which would therefore be in the WOLP through non-publishing due to his unfortunate 'accident'...
However, elsewhere Thursday says to her memory of Landen that she wants all of him - frustrating bits and all - suggesting that a fictional Landen would be a poor substitute. The question is, would she be able to resist a half version?</HTML>
