A work of fiction becomes reality

What genre of mystery novels?

[bloody_pens]

Crime.

[expositional]

Naturally, but what are the specifics within the genre? New age, cozy, hardboiled, et cetera.

[bloody_pens]

Urban murder mysteries, set in modern New York City! With a dash of my own experiences helping the police department thrown in.

Then this must be quite compelling for you. I assure you it loses its charm quickly when you realize what it is.

[bloody_pens]

Oh, I find it to be all pretty amusing, actually. And a huge load of crap.

[morsporta]

As most do.

[bloody_pens]

Well, that's good to know. I wonder if anybody actually does believe it?

[choosefight]

That would have been cool, but I think they're super into their "please, stop yelling, we just want to tell you your whole life has been a lie!" routine.

I ca say it for them if you want, though!

[bloody_pens]

Yeah, seems like they've done this plenty of times before and have a script they like to stick to. Shame, because variety is the spice of life, after all.

Oh, why not?

Yo, Mr. Castle, we heard you were a fiction writer so we put some fiction in your fiction so can be fictional while writing about fictional things.

Was that okay?

[bloody_pens]

Perfect. Much obliged to you!

[notvictorious]

Definitely meta.

[bloody_pens]

A fiction writer, who IS fiction, becomes real. It sounds like a bad joke. Or the plot of a D-grade science fiction movie.

[notvictorious]

There are enough cyborgs and aliens on this island to make that a reality.

[bloody_pens]

Cyborgs?! Like, REAL cyborgs?

[chronosexual]

A writer? Can't say we've had one of those yet. A little ironic, don't you think?

Captain Jack Harkness. Welcome to New Moore, Mr. Castle.

[bloody_pens]

Thanks a bunch, Captain!

I find it to be pretty hilarious. It sounds like something you'd see in a bad movie, you know?
