Real people whose lives are represented in the fiction of other worlds through some kind of interdimensional echo effect. There are a couple of us, but it's not everyone.

[Curious and curiouser. She's almost afraid to ask, but ultimately:]

And am I... represented in your world?

[thewarningafter]

Yeah. Yeah, there's, uh...a novel. That's if you're who I think you are from your name.

I never read it, before you ask.

[not_harker]

Someone has written a novel... about me? [It makes her feel a little ill to think of what that could mean, all of the gossip circulating back home in London collected in one undoubtedly tawdry publication. She mutters:] Is there so little respect for privacy...!

[thewarningafter]

And -- others. I told you, it's something that seems to happen in worlds without the real person present.
