Fictional Characters
(Author's POV)
No. I am not the author of this story. My name is actually Author. I'm Author Writes. Have you ever thought where all the fictional characters are from?
From the crazy ideas of creative writers?
From the fantasies of hopeless romantic singles?
From the dream guy and dream love story of girls?
No.
Let me tell you something about them.
Fictional characters?
They are from my world.
There are lots of fictional characters in this world I live in. And they all elected me as their Queen. Now, I rule this world and they respect me.
As the queen, I only have one obligation to do.
To make a fictional character a real fictional one. A character that a creative writer will think of.
There are a lot of professional and potential writers out there. Out in the real world. Some just don't know how to start a story.
For example... wait let me search for this one fictional character that transported to the real world already.
Ah! Here it is.

Good day, Queen Author. It's been weeks since I was transported to the real world. I'm already existing in a young girl's mind. She already had the plots for my story. And the girl she had in mind to be my leading lady? She's beautiful. It's Aria Lennica. She's from the Fairy Part of our world. And my name? It was amazing. Eros Lex Palma. I was really excited when she already had the ideas. How I'll met Pixie (she's Aria), how we'll fall in love, how we'll overcome obstacles, everything.
But she's not inspired enough to even start my story. Even Aria is growing impatient inside this young girl's imagination. We wanted to be real fictional characters already, Queen Author. Please help us.
This is what makes my role as a queen, hard. It's because a lot of writers let their imagination remain as an imagination.
Wait. Let me reply to him first.

Subject: I'll fix it.
Don't worry, David. Within a few hours, you'll be Eros. I'll inspire her to write you.
As a queen, I have the privilege to go back and forth to the real world to this world and to the fictional world. Yes. I can travel in three different worlds. The fictional world is where all the fictional characters that are known in the real world, exist. The fictional characters existing in the world I rule are the one that are waiting to be an idea of writers. And when a writer had an idea of one fictional character, he/she will be transported to the real world and will live in the writer's mind. And when the writer started writing, that's when he/she will live in the book, a paper or anywhere the writer wrote him/her. When a reader read the story, that's when he/she will be transported to the fictional world, along with the other known fictional characters.
All the fictional characters want to live in the fictional world of course. All of them wants to be known. Even if it's just one reader. They want to be existing other than in the mind of the writer. They don't want to be just an idea. Not just a mere imagination. They want to be real fiction. To be existing.
"Queen Author! What are you doing in the real world?" King Book asked me.
"David Ricardo. You know him, right?"
"Yeah! I've heard he's in the real world now? Congratulations! Hey, Book 19363910ABCDzxy is blank! He heard about David and he's excited already!" King Book leaned closer and whispered, "He's so eager to have a title, you know. He's being a nagger already. He hates his temporary name. Publisher Co is growing annoyed on him."
I chuckled. "Well, he'll have to wait longer. David is still David. Though he already have a fictional name. The girl is not writing him yet."
He frowned.
"Bummer. So you're here to inspire her to write David?" I nodded. "Well, good luck then. I know how hard your work is becoming. There are a lot of potential and professional writers that lose hope in writing. Most of them choose money nowadays."
I nodded, agreeing. "Yeah, I know."
"I've heard about the population on the Bad Boy Land drops drastically. Is it true?"
"Yeah. A lot of writers write about bad boys turning into a good one nowadays."
"So I guess the population on Maids, Twins, Nerds, MVPs, Talented, Artistic----"
"Yes, King Book. They all dropped drastically. We'll take tomorrow if I let you finish!" I jokingly said. "They're in demand. Most people call them cliches now. The Horror and Fantasy Land decreases but not that much."
He laughed. "I guess writers have a soft heart with Romance."
"I think so too," I agreed. "Anyway, I'll inspire the girl to write David now. I'll take my leave now."
"Yeah. Update me, okay?"
"I will."
I closed my eyes and imagined David Ricardo on my mind. After opening my eyes, I'm already inside a classroom. I saw David sitting impatiently on the girl's mind together with Aria. I sighed.
I entered the professor's body that was about to enter the classroom. His soul didn't let me get inside him at first, but he eventually gave in and let me take over his body for a while. After that, I came in.
"Before we start our class, let me tell you a story about Cupid. Does everyone of you know him?"
They all nodded. My eyes was actually pinned to the young girl. She looks so bored.
"Then you all know that his name is Eros, right?"
That's when I caught her attention. She listened intently on me and her lips is forming into a smile little by little. After telling them the story about Cupid, I left his body and trasported back to my world.
After a few hours, I received a message from David.

Subject: Thanks
Good day, Queen Author. I just want to thank you for your help. She already wrote our prologue. She even reached up to chapter two. We're already in the fictional world. She wrote us on this website called Wattpad. We exist in three reader's mind, excluding the writer, already. Thank you so much, Queen Author.
I smiled. Well at least it worked out for them and for that young writer. I just hope that she continues writing. I hope she can inspire a lot of potential writers out there. Influence a reader to be creative, too and write stories. I don't really care if the fictional characters in my world extinct. I just hope for them to be transported to the fictional world, along with the other fictional characters that are known to the real world.

I wrote this after being so-not-inspired to write again. Dami ng characters ang tambay lang sa utak ko. Huhubels.
Queen Author, inspire me, too, please. I badly need you. =__=
