And we certainly do have some unusual stories among ourselves here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. That's entirely phenomenal.
Imagine being one of the parents of the kids whose pictures were stolen to make up her family album? Especially the sick child? That must feel awful.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And even so, a few people suspected him of being not entirely truthful.
But I don't recall anyone saying anything until after he "died." I think it's a terribly difficult thing to confront someone about unless you're *absolutely* sure you're right, or you don't care about the fallout from being wrong.

Because books.
I asked a few people about the were-monkey stuff, because that seemed completely absurd to me, but I was late to the board, and by that time he wasn't posting much anymore, iirc.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, this sort of thing fascinates me too.
Did I mention my high school girlfriend did stuff like this? She had this whole convoluted story about how she had cancer, but she had gone to the doctor herself so her parents didn't know. The doctor was writing off her treatment as research. She would tell me all sorts of stories about how painful spinal taps were and whatnot.
She could be very believable when folks were talking to her, but later on we'd be going, "Wait sec, this doesn't make sense."

Thrive to spite them
I won't go into all the details, but it turns out my xSIL's fiance was a big fat liar who lied about most things in his life. And went so far as to produce fake documents, dress up and pretend to go to meetings and doctor's appointments to fool people.

I never posted in Natter much when he did, but I always laughed when I saw the were-monkey posts because I assumed it was a big joke. I thought he had some other horrible illness but that he used the were-monkey joke because he didn't want to talk about what really was going on with him. I never suspected anything else though.

I tend to think of other people as performance art that occasionally interferes with my readng.

I can't imagine the energy it must take to do that.
