@Qzar - The story that went on before, well, the story in Stranger Than Fiction doesn't exist. At least not "in real life". The entire hook was that the fictional world of the comic was taking place in a fictional world, but "outside" the bounds of the story as it was being told. As in, the characters were living their own, 'normal' lives uninfluenced by the will of their Author.

The Tweeest (tm) at the end was that the exact same thing was happening in a cycle, that "The Author" was himself part of a story (which he was of course, the one I was telling), but also within the world of the comic. So, the person sitting across from him was the one telling HIS story, another Author from another 'real world'. Or you. Or me maybe, since I wrote it. Isn't metafiction fun?

@BlazingBarrager - I WOULD, but the story doesn't belong to me as Hooded Miracle pointed out. The BE Story Club put up the money to have it made into a comic in the first place so it's their property to sell and not mine. It would be quite unethical of me to violate the 'contract', regardless of how unlegal it technically is, not having been formalized or anything.

@Max24 - Thanks, but that picture was already posted earlier in this very thread, back when it was first colored.
