Shivery with happy anticipation... And of course you cannot choose between them, who could?

There is nothing wrong with fiction leading us to fact. At least I don't think so-- nor the reverse of course. I think that is what art is for, and the movies and the fictional stories are art. I think that is what art is for.

I think the real men would be pleased, if startled, by all the delightful art that their lives have brought about. (And very startled by some of the fan fic. Perhaps best they don't know all of that...)

BTW Heather and Lorna-- I would love to Skype if it is possible in the next week or so.
