Film student Harvey James likes game site Insert Credit. A lot. Like so much that drew how he thought his favorite writers looked. Says Harvey:

There's a process I think we all go through with any writer whose work we enjoy- we build up a mental image of what they look like. We never pause and try and work this out, the images just somehow pop into our heads as we read. In my case, it usually turns out to be way off.

Off, yes. After Harvey drew his favorite writers like Tim Rogers as he imagined them (above), he then did it again after he e-stalked and found out what they look like. But, Harvey does illustrate an interesting point: as "virtual" relations increase, our imagination is called upon to add a physical likeness to that person we're playing online with. And for those wondering, Florian looks exactly like you imagine him, but with an ascot and no pants. Brian Ashcraft
