Before we merge our two stories, I think I itās honest to clarify a few things to avoid any misunderstandings. All I know about you and ShadyLady is that youāve been in touch for a long time, but as for whatās real and whatās fictional in the storyline of Alys and Cassie, I can only guess. So Iām a bit worried about confusing the creators with their characters.
As far as Iām concerned, all the characters in the creations tagged #continuing-story are purely fictional. Only the character of Paula contains a small grain of truth. I originally created her about two months ago by asking ChatGPT to create a portrait of a sister of mine who looks very closely like me, providing it with photos of me when I was 25. That's why she has those slightly masculine features, which I find so cute. She is, in a way, my female alter ego and so has inherited some of my character traits, my tastes, and sometimes acts as a voice for my feelings.
I love this picture... and that idea of celebrating Halloween together. Iām thinking about having a go at creating a picture featuring all four of us, too.
