Discussion History Main / LiteraryAgentHypothesis

I don\'t want to get involved in a repair discussion, but in case anyone wants to pick it up, I don\'t think it\'s at all clear whether this is only about fandoms or if it\'s also about something like Dr. Watson (without the speculation about Doyle being his agent). Also, I\'m not sure if being written by a character but with no scenes outside the character\'s writing (like Watson, again) counts as FramingDevice. Like, when you have a text saying \"This was written by me, Watson,\" but you don\'t have any scene where character are reading the text or someone is telling the story. As for this and Framing Device, if you read this page, it seems like a Watson style example wouldn\'t count for this one (because it\'s done by the author, not speculating fans), but if you read the other one, it seems like it would.

And that probably wasn\'t very clearly said anyway, but I just don\'t have time for this, I just want to give people a hint at least as to the problem.
