Dear hypothetical reader
Sep. 4th, 2014 01:08 amPlease help me out, friendslist! A fragmentary old story idea is finally coming together, but there is a reader perception question that I need input on.
Imagine you are reading a story in which the main character can enter and travel between fictional worlds (novels, short stories, poems, plays... anything goes). The main character gets lost and finds himself in a fictional world he doesn't know; it is a pleasant spring setting outside the gates of a near-by city, where people from various walks of life are taking in the sunshine in 19th-century garb.
A large poodle begins sniffing around the main character just as something goes wrong, and in the confusion, the dog is carried along with the main character to the next fictional world.
Do you have any feelings, opinions or preconceptions about the dog at this point in the narrative?
