Subject: When people claim to know more than they do about XF

Do most of you here remember how, occasionally, somebody over on the old Fox boards would claim to *KNOW* what was going to happen in upcoming eps of The X-Files. They would always say they were Gillian Anderson's cousin or Chris Carter's niece or David Duchovny's best friend or some such nonsense??
Anyway. . .I have a sort of e-mail buddy who is a big fan of my fanfic and of XF in general. I've never asked her age but I presume, from some of the things she writes, that she's a teen. Well, she has another e-mail buddy who uses the screen name David Duchovny. You're thinking, not so weird, right? I mean lots of us here on this board use names like "Scullystar" or "Scullydoc" or whatever.
HER problem is, she seems to think he's the *REAL* David Duchovny! MY problem is. . .should I try to enlighten her to the fact that it is highly unlikely that famous celebrities spend their time reading fanfic?? Is her delusion harmless or could it lead to a bad end, like the computer relationship in "2Shy"?

You should tell her, she'll realise it herself eventually and the longer she's beleived it really is DD the more stupid she'll feel. nim (NT) -- duck, 02:23:32 10/26/00 Thu
- Or......maybe it really is DD and we should all be very jealous of her. (NT) -- Stardoe, 17:31:44 10/27/00 Fri
