Hi Hans:

Boy do I have egg on my face. I thought they were real women pro tennis players!

No wonder I couldn't find photos of Heather or Malin anywhere! I went so far as to try to find statistics about them on pro tennis Web sites!

I was wondering why I had never even heard of those players and soon came to the realization that it was because they did not exist.

You had me thinking that life was really passing me by. I mean I'm not the biggest tennis fan, but you convinced me they were real palyers, especially with the birthdays, nationalities, heights and everything!

I salute your crushing serve.

Ace! Hans 15, Cigar love.

In the future, Hans, you can use real celebrities as your characters. It is your fantasy and opinions. I would not worry about them being insulted or suing you. I've read hundreds of celebrity fictional fight accounts on places like Knm and Ginny's story board and I doubt either of them have ever been ordered to remove a story because some celebrity was miffed.

When you are a public figure -- that is if you put yourself in the public light -- you are fair game to be the subject of someone's wild fantasies and conjecture. That's part of the price you pay for giving up a piece of your privacy by seeking widespread publicity.

Celebrities sue publications when they print falsehoods as though they were the truth.

There is no question that the stuff we print here is pure fantasy.

Whatever you decide, don't stop writing CFNF fighting stories. Keep up the good work.
