Transcript by OP

[fscom]

WTNV fandom is still regularly putting out fics where Carlos is a normal guy from 'our world', who does recognizable science, is aware of real world politics and has realistic feelings about it, etc, etc

I have mixed feelings.

Feeling 1: I LIKE fic where a 'normal' person - one with the same perspective as us, the listeners - has the kind of reactions we would have to Cecil, to Night Vale, to all the in-universe weirdness. Always used to like the ones where Carlos filled that role.

Feeling 2: Can't read these anymore without massive cognitive dissonance. Brain keeps going 'but Carlos is not that person! The idea's been jossed for months now. He's from a place as bizarre and unpredictable relative to our world as Night Vale itself is. This is completely AU. Writer, you know that, right?'

b!s: I have an unpublished WIP that centers on real-world-person Carlos, and I've not been able to work on it for a while. Even telling myself 'it's ok, you're allowed to mark it Completely AU.' How do I snap out of this, f!s?
