Fiction with an interesting concept Options

[Wytil]

Several years ago an American author Robert A Heinlein introduced an interesting concept in some of his fiction novels. The concept was that fiction became real or alive as soon as enough readers beleived in it.
In the book "The Number of The Beast" the first device for such traveling was invented and off through whatever our heroes went. 8)
Among the places they visit
I wrote a short story a couple of years ago and put it on FF.net. I think it was probably incomprehensable to most of those who stumbled across it.
But then I would not be surprised, most stories with a philosophical bent would be.

I'm not sure I completely understand either, but I have to say this. Fiction is real. Fantasy is real. It exists in our minds and while we may not be able to touch it or see it, it's still there, living, breathing. An author basically creates entire worlds through writing, gives life to characters. While it may only be written down on paper, hidden in those pages are things beyond our wildest dreams and through this, we discover parts of ourselves we didn't know existed.
Something not real couldn't do that.
There are millions of possibilities and worlds that already exist, so just think how many more are out there waiting to be set free.
