Have you experienced a Fake LJ Death? Or perhaps that LJ friend of yours turned out to be the figment of someone's imagination? Then this article is for you.

When something as important and serious as death is treated with ambiguity and unclarity, one can only feel duped. By the way, when your username is googled, unsavoury images come up. Can you remove them? Thanks.

By the way, I log IP addresses, and I know this IP is coming from Brads work... therefore, you are using the same computer he/you used at work (ITT Hartford)

You know what I suggest? You take me off your friends list and forget about me. I don't have time for clowns like you.

wow... you need to chill. The perfect ending for that story was for the Brad character to commit suicide. Geesh... it just seemed the way to end the story.

Without my savy internet friends, where would I be? :)

I knew this was going to happen. Or maybe I didn't. But you are good to have cared, and you acted ver responsibly

So the story should end with the suicide note then huh? We didn't think leaving things hanging would be a good ending. We see though through the comments and "controversy" that it providing any follow up won't work for the story, causes issues.
For the record, not that it matters... the pictures you found are old ones of a coworker of ours. "Brad" is actually two of us that were in the same dorm in college last year, thought it would be fun and interesting writing, but it got old and we needed to end the story.
If we do it again we at least know how to change and work it.

If the journal was fake, you wouldn't have deleted your original comment to this post in a panic when you noticed you'd been busted... nor would you have deleted those photos. Why would you care if they were all part of a fiction? Your actions give you away.

Now bugger off.
