1. Absolutely. In each fandom I've been in (with the possible exception of Firefly), there's been at least one. In each case, there’s usually one that’s far more talkative/persistent than the others. In most cases, they feed me bits of back-story or “what-if” scenarios, with the occasional, “Okay, you people are writing what about me?”

2. A resounding “yes.” Charles Xavier reached this level, and stayed there for, oh, about three years. I think that Jack did as well, but much more briefly. Currently, Ruka is quite aware that he’s a mental construct, thank you very much. (Witness my complete lack of surprise at his thinly disguised enthusiasm for new levels of meta.)

3. ...No. Not really. I had such an intense love/hate attachment to my Charles-muse that sometimes it felt like a romantic relationship, and while some moments register as masturbatory in retrospect, mostly it just seemed very strange (eventually). Consequently, I've pointedly avoided the issue since then. That hasn’t stopped several of my muses from commenting on my love life (or lack thereof), at least until I throw metaphysical pillows at them.

4. Not yet. *shifty eyes* Although now that I’m hanging out with you lot, I’ve come to believe that anything is possible.

5. If they have, they’ve certainly never told me.
