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).

LOL I have a website that is a virtual collection of, well, collectibles for a particular show. I state on my website very clearly that it is not a store, that I have no items for sale, blah blah blah, and yet I still get emails asking how much something is and asking why I don't have prices on my website. I haven't updated this site in at least four years either, and just yesterday I got two more emails asking me how to buy certain items.

Even at that website, I have received emails from people thinking that they're writing to the actor, but even better are the ones from people thinking they are writing to the character. *g*

Fun stuff. *g* The contact details are an especially nice touch. heh

You *don't* have MS's phone number? I've been paying you on the installment plan for years! You truly are evil.
