    From the Doylistic point of view that is the case, but what about from in-universe? Him as a reader metaphor doesn't explain everything, including things he has done in other TM media, unless in those cases he was the author avatar? If that's the case, I get it.

    It was a flippant response intended to refer to someone in universe who does what you are doing.

    if that sounds odd, keep in mind Nasu loves engaging the reader in an oddly direct way. He is the same guy who when writing a cash bait fan disk turned the whole thing into a meta analysis about how readers had to see “the ending” even if it was arguably better to not do so.

    Alright. Just wondering how I might write Zelrecht and what he does, and I got my answers. Thanks.

    this actually makes more sense in the explanation context than the other thread. basically nasu dont give a shit and its up to the reader cause he wants it to be left ambiguious what the answer is for people to talk about it.

    Then the logical progression of thought is, as long as alternate timelines are canonly in Type moon verse, the headcanon for most will be, everything is permitted somewhere, and nothing is left on the cutting room floor. There's no other way to parse these events nasu :P Should not have introduced multiple timelines otherwise if you felt a different answer was just as plausible

    Well, those timelines technically "happened", but just not in Pan-Human History. More like in your computer's trash.

    I don't know if a story about destroying trash fanfiction would be deliciously meta or just boring and trite.

    Being on the same page is what happens when two knights double team an errand girl
