Their logic is not like our earth logic...

This is just so priceless that I wanted to share it with you all... as you may or may not know, the lovely xochiquetzl and I run All Daniel Fic, which is a fanfic archive for stories featuring the character of Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1. Het, slash or gen, we're happy to accept anything that's reasonably coherent as long as it's Daniel-centric.

So, back in February this year we get an email that goes like this:

dear michael shanks you are one of the hottest actors on the showstargatesg1 well i waswondering if you are single or not?? well you are so cute that last night i was watching a rerun of your show and i was blushing if you want you can call me at
[telephone number] you are very handsome Michael Shanks
From your fan [full name] i live in [address]


Yes, an email to a fanfic archive complete with telephone number, complete name and partial address. We reply to said nutjob telling her that we're a fanfic archive and therefore don't have any contact with Michael Shanks, and she really shouldn't be sending out her contact details to all and sundry.

We get a reply:

i am so happy that michael shanks plays dr.danel jackson. he is a great actor on the show stargate sg1 well i hope that he is still on the show well michael shanks you are very handsome from your fan [full name] [telephone number] have a great day

Then, about 2 hours later (in response to our further 'go away crazy person and stop sending people your personal details' email):

well can you please send me a signed autograph of Michael Shanks picture i am a huge fan of the show stargate sg1
[full name]
[full postal address, including zip code] thank you from [name]
[email address, in case we'd missed it] [phone number]


We decide that the best way to deal with this is to ignore it. Then today, 7 months later and out of the blue, we get another email (in orange text on a dark green background no less):

well i was wondering if i can meet michael shanks i know he is taken but i am a fan of him and the show stargate sg1 from [name] [email address] call me at [telephone number] okay well have a nice day.

Why not just send her the URL for a Convention page at Creation Con's website? And one for an autographed photograph. The dimwit probably has no idea who much they cost (especially if she's a high school student, which is what those emails sound like).

Since she's clearly functionally illiterate, if her lack of understanding of our previous emails is concerned, what would be the point? She'd probably turn up at the convention in question and expect to get in for free, because she'd been sent an invitation by Michael Shanks himself! ;)

ROFL -- good point. How weird she thinks of you guys as a touchstone for Shanks.
