This is something that
people often use to
describe someone they have heard a lot about, but have never met. Usually a
good friend, of a
friend, or at least someone who comes up in
conversation often.
When two
off-stage characters meet each other it can be quite
interesting. Sometimes they feel as if they have known each other for ages, othertimes their
mental picture is nowhere near the
real thing.
For me this can be kind of
stressful. 5
off-stage characters in my life met at
Lushcon. I was very nervous about it, but much to my delight.. they all clicked.
