either you're deliberately being dense or you don't understand the concept that alternate universe = an alternate version of that character with differences, NOT the original. perception has nothing to do with it. you can feel like they're the same character all you want. that does not make them the same character.

there is no opinion or perception involved.

But does it matter?

If someone sees them as the same character, then essentially they are the same character for that person, regardless of anyone else's reality.

So by your logic, there can be no such thing as fanfic, because unless it's the character written by the original author, it's not that character?

there's a difference between writing a fanfic set in the canon universe and writing a fic that's set in a completely different setting, like the example the anon above gave with harry potter going undercover in an american college post-hogwarts versus harry potter being an american college student in a world where magic doesn't exist.

the first one is still harry potter, the second isn't. even if the second were written by the original author, it would still be an alternate version of the character. who writes it doesn't make a difference.

Oh one of us is being dense, I'll admit. Incidentally NASA has asked if you can stand still for a bit. Something to do with calculating the lensing effect near you.

It's very odd to think that I would not be me if, say, my father had taken a job overseas when I was young, or my birth mother had decided to keep me.

Perhaps I would have a different name; perhaps I would now have a different degree; perhaps I would speak more languages. But something tells me that there would still be some core aspects of my self that remained the same across possible alternate realities.
