How bizarre!

[elfs]

I just received the most bizarre email, from some woman claiming that "Aimee' is not yours" and demanded that I should "give credit where credit is due."

For the record, I did write the Aimee' series, both the first and second volumes, and I released them to rec.arts.erotica, starting with Chapter 1, in March of 1994. The copyright on the 1994 release reads:

"Aimee'" is copyright (c) 1994 Elf Mathieu Sternberg. May be freely distributed by electronic media; hardcopies are limited to single printings for personal use.

That would be me.

Hmmmm.... Aimee Cosplay. What would that be like? I imagine lots of harem pants.

I imagine lots of harem pants too, but I imagine them strewn across the furniture...

Cosplay or LARP.

I know of one case where somebody got all annoyed because she had a LARP character with the same name as a character in a set of porn fictions. See this account (http://www.silverglass.org/rants/character-theft.html) if you want the grisly details.

You do have an advantage: you've always been pretty open about what you write. Kitt, with good reason, keeps her RL identity private. Different local prejudices.

Trouble's Tales had a long, strange history, and I was almost surprised when the story came to a conclusion in '05, after 8 years real-time. But I consider it to have been worth the wait.
