Thoughts on Alternate Universes · 5:34pm May 27th, 2013
Type 1 AU is the same universe as our own (i.e. here in the real world), which means that the characters of the universe could potentially be able to discover that they are, in fact, fictional (at least, in the point of view of those who "created" them).
Type 2 is merely the same, but with references filtered out, and sociology adjusted to account for that (typically this is done by referencing from a time before the characters were created in reality).
Type 3 is much more generalized, allowing for much more abstraction and not really being held to true-to-life standards. Usually Type 3 is used to host much more fantastical adventures than you'd expect in the real world, or sometimes even the universe the fic is based on.

Wow. That was a lot of thought, even for us!
Um, why are you saying 'us'?
I, have a guess, but I don't want to assume....

When posting as my online persona, I'm not always in total consensus. Therefore, when we are more aligned, "we" is written, and when only some of me has a particular oppinion "I" is written.
Maybe some day I will write up a post, but not this one...
3428528 I, uh...don't want to assume, but...do you have D.I.D.? I'm a bit confused by your response, and I'm just...guessing ^^;
3428558 Not technically! I merged all of myself a while ago!
Now the more interesting question: Which personalities are most dominant, since now all prior personalities now have the same identity?
3428695 I suppose whatever situation you're in the most calls for.
I used to know someone with D.I.D....and I've researched a bunch. So...I think I get what it's like. At least, as much as someone without it can get.
