In response to WMartin--The situation to which you refer (authors perceiving
characters in some sort of parallel universe) has been used.  There is a
story in "The Early Asimov" called, I believe, "Author!  Author!" (forgive
my speaking without knowing--it was something like that) which has a variant
of that for a plot, with a typical Asimovian twist in that the more the
author wrote about a character, the closer the character comes to achieving
reality...Fun stuff.  Come to think of it, that isn't exactly what you're
talking about, but check the story out anyway.
