Stealing People

(1/1)

EUOL:
So, I'm curious how authors can put that little 'Any resemblance to living persons is purely coincidental' clause at the beginning of their books.  We all know that we steal profusely the things around us.  Or, at least, I do.  It's not coincidence that a person who looks kind of like Tage appears in my latest book, for instance.

The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers:
I think that's there mostly to say "while I'm borrowing from real life, I in no way intend to imply that the people I borrowed traits from would be in this situation, or, if they were, that they would react this way."

just my 2 bits
