But if Emma suddenly runs into Lizzie Bennett I’m not sure how receptive I’ll be just because it’s not sci-fi/fantasy genre.
But Lizzie Bennett is still a character in a story. I’m sort of imagining this FictionalWorld as a relatively close copy of our own entire world, it’s just that the people who populate it are characters in well known stories, instead of just the regular people who populate our world. If there’s a whole separate world of characters from fairytales, and another whole separate world of characters from sci-fi stories, then why not also another whole separate world of characters from literary greats? Not saying that they’ll explore those stories on the show, just trying to establish a concept for a separate world that could resemble ours very closely, and still not make Bae a liar about not having come to our world first.
