If the characters are from an alternate universe, why change their names?

Kings Cross! All change for Middle-Earth, Westeros, Oz, and Discworld! Passengers for Narnia should proceed to fuck off, weaksauce place that it is.

Um, yeah sure. Or it could be, you know, completely made up.

She's so wrong she's right. Almost all fiction accidentally describes something that has happened or will happen.
That's not to say THE AUTHORS ACTUALLY KNOW THIS.

Lemme guess, you are in psychic contact with the real author and s/he wants you to sue for royalties.

If you dont have a good grasp on reality you should not be viewing or reading fantasy material, are we going to have to put warning labels on this stuff too?

Wow. After reading some of the other comments from the article I have come to one conclusion:
I should be taking advantage of these people for personal gain.

If that's really the case, then why are you here telling us this nonsense and not in one of these far-more-interesting alternate universes, hmm?

So, these other universes get magic and space laser battles and we're stuck with televangelists and bureaucracy?
I want my money back.

Odd how you chose to make examples of two people who have managed to reach the pinnacle of success in their individual crafts.

It's funny. People who make claims like this usually think it's a compliment, that their favourite authors are privileged to "see beyond the veil" or some such bullshit, but actually it is only a massive insult to people who devote so much time and effort to creating these stories and then some idiots think all they do is write down what happened and change the names.

Can I crossover into that alternate universe where Gene Roddenberry channeled Star Trek from?
