Holy crap

I've been trying to figure out whether David Mitchell is actually on Twitter or not. Figuring it couldn't hurt and was worth a shot, I sent Stephen Fry a direct message along the lines of "incredibly sorry to bother your worship with this, but do you know if either of these two gents is the real DM?" only slightly less grovelly

Wow. I have no words. Except - tell me everything! *evil grin*

DUDE. Awesome :-)

OH. MY. GOD. That would be heart-attack inducing if you hadn't written fic about him. Man.

Oh yeah, I didn't mean to make the connection that direct. First I had a heart attack, then I thought about the whole, "so going to hell" thing.

Okay a) wow, hahaha, I love the internet.

b) If they aren't the real DM, does that mean they're role-play-twittering him? *eyebrow gestures*

[dafnagreer]

Apparently so -- if Jonathan Ross (@wossy) is to be believed, @ADavidMitchell is a fake and @RealDMitchell is the true one.

[marginaliana]

Wow, I know role playing is big, but somehow I don't see him as someone I'd choose to do. Interesting. I added the real one nonetheless.

What name are you under on Twitter, if you don't mind me asking?

[dafnagreer]

I'm not posting anything. I only created an account because a friend living in Shanghai uses a locked Twitter account to update her friends on her life and I wanted to read it.

Definitely one of those HOLY FUCK FANDOM IS REAL things. Dude. DUDE.

(also, I love Stephen and his dorky, dorky twitter obsession. Hee.)
