Doesn't Doug have at least one sim song for a character he only knows as fiction? I thought he did.... maybe it was just "The Laughing Gnome" and I got confused...
- CD
ETA: Looking a little higher up the board... the Arsenal thread lists several songs which conjure a unique, fictional character: Ballad Of The Blue Cyclone, Frosty The Snowman, Mr. Pinstripe Suit, and Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, along with a few more like The Laughing Gome that summon up a number of archetypical figures like members of a marching band, soldiers, or garden gnomes. So it could work either way, is all I'm saying, and I am if anything even more filled with fear at the notion of an Agatha who, discovering that she's the image of a fictional character, devotes her six minutes of existence to building something to stay around longer...
--- Say, what does Doug's metagift think of Paul's Soundstretch Extreme? Granted, it can only keep a recogniseable lyric line at fairly minor levels of expannsoin rather than the days-long versions the program is capable of turning a typical music file into, but some utility effects would benefit from being just a little longer. Probably doesn't work, since it's sort of cheating, or else has a modified effect like a cover of the song, but it was just a question that occurred to me.
