Allyson, there's the angle that you write about at least one fake--and you write about people like me who weren't actually fakes (as far as y'all know, she says twirling her moustache). And then there's why people might think you're one of those selfsame fakes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I'm a fake and proud of it!

That's actually a really interesting question, IMHO. How does anybody knows that anybody online isn't a fake? How did you guys know that I wasn't a fake, before I met you? How did *I* know, for that matters? Hmm.
I'm a fake and proud of it!
Weren't those Cindy and Frank?

If I only had a brain...
I feel like an imposter; does that count?

If you feel like an imposter, but we believe you (um, either that you're an imposter, or to what you show us), would it still count?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I denounce victor for faking being a fake.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Weren't those Cindy and Frank?
They're fictional. Totally different vibe.

What is even happening?
And we possibly have a whole Ben-Glory vibe thing going, or would, if I had a better wardrobe and some minions, and Frank would just go be a doctor.

Exactly.

I think you're just faking denouncing me for faking being a fake.

Every woman has to fake denouncing something once in a while. Don't worry, it'll be better next time.
