A thought that could also be a question for other writers

[leethet]

Given the upsurge in readership post-movie, I find it feels really odd to me to think of people reading my stories and picturing the movie-verse guys in them. I can't even imagine it - not having seen the film I can't see those actors/characters at all, let alone in my stories - but considering the possibility is really weird.

Am I the only one who thinks about that?

Hey, anything that gets folks to read MFU is not a bad thing.

Hadn't even thought about it myself, so I guess the answer to your question night be yes.

It just crossed my mind because I think many of the recent hits on my stories have to be from "new" fen who watched the movie and went "Oh, cool." But my stuff would have nothing to do with the movie, in theory. Yet, I've gotten a few kudos - does that mean my stories work with the movie characters? Y'know? You just wonder how new fen are taking your stories.

I've been getting tons of kudos as of late for the old stuff by people brand new to me ( and possibly MFU). Perhaps it's not as much the actors as the characters themselves who are capturing people's attention.
