People who read works of fiction and rely on them as a source of fact, however, are no reason to stop writing good fiction or to feel responsible for the misbehavior of others inspired (if indeed it is so) by that fiction. And remember for as long as there have been young people, even those youths who do not read have found reasons to dance naked (harmless) or break things (not harmless). Bad parenting and not good fiction is to blame.Sophie Perinothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034725608525210673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968970271234415691.post-82991318721319298822012-08-09T16:06:34.683-04:002012-08-09T16:06:34.683-04:00Brenda,

The stories circulating online have nothing to do with anything that you wrote or said. They are completely baseless, or at best conflations of other legends. Walking around the grave of Alice three times becomes walking around our church three times. Unfortunately, in this case we cannot control the fiction being created by these trespassers. <br /><br />If we begin to prosecute them, that information will get out via Twitter. We may consider guided tours occasionally with hot chocolate to follow. Perhaps we can raise some money for the church.R.

I just feel the need to be so much more careful about disguising the locations of anything I imagine in my stories.Brenda Remmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463638352253693043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968970271234415691.post-89292781480237380402012-08-08T10:23:17.293-04:002012-08-08T10:23:17.293-04:00Fiction perceived as fact is an issue for me as we...Fiction perceived as fact is an issue for me as well. I think we have to set aside those thoughts and just write the best story possible. I'm sorry what's happening at your church, Brenda.
