Re: Mulder/Claire J
My eclipse too wondrous to look upon,
The concept itself is fine, promoting a product or project so that more people would be exposed to it than without the publicity. I do not want to be that publicity. Some people were born to be the center of attention, and they revel in that admiration. I am not one of those people. Perhaps it would be easier were I discussing someone else or their work instead of my own, and in which case your best-selling novel on various probing accounts may be easier to discuss in front of an audience.
Would a familiar crowd give you the same unsteady feeling? I suppose that defeats the purpose of a publicity tour. Maybe when it comes down to it, we can send someone else out on interviews in our stead while we get Chinese food.
You know, I never had a diary, even when I was small. Have any diaries held the secrets of the universe? Do you find it helps you work through issues? What made you decide to start keeping one again? Have you looked back on past entries and thought what you were thinking was ridiculous? I feel like that would happen to me a lot.
You do not need to tell me who you are if you do not wish to, Mulder. I would rather you be comfortable in talking to me openly than feel you need to put a name to the words. Does knowing my name change anything?
To learn. To understand. To experience. I may never be a pilot, but I will know how to fly.
How can it be stopped?

I think it is worth the investment. Both sticker-wise and divulgence.
