[QUOTE="Judge Bean, post: 14129, member: 42"] [b]Re: How to Prepare for your Hoax[/b] Interesting that you have elected to respond on this particular thread, and to respond in detail to one of the guidelines intended for anyone who would consider foisting a fiction upon the board. This could well be understood as a tacit admission. You are on very, very thin ice. There was no mention in your initial post of providing assistance to ancestral correspondents. Is this a part of your mission that you have chosen to hide until the right time or the right thread? Are you not modifying your message to fit what you perceive to be the available audience and what it wants to read? If so, you are definitely writing fiction. This situation reminds me of a photograph I once saw in The Fortean Times, of civil war soldiers standing around the carcass of what was to all appearances a [i]dinosaur[/i]. I began to spout off to someone that it was obviously a fake because of the age and (excuse me) the weight of the soldiers-- two recurring flaws in the otherwise finely-authentic costuming of civil war reenactors. I went on and on about the clean, natty uniforms, the too much gray in the beards, the obviously modern beerbellies. Then someone said to me, "Say again, what was your first clue that this photograph of a civil war dinosaur was fake?" [/QUOTE]
