A friend of mine once claimed, when I had said that blogs would allow the creation of fictional identities, that all identities are, in fact, fictional!
Still, we seem to get excited when certain blogs are exposed as out-and-out fictions (in this sense, having "no connection with any actual persons, living or dead"), and even more excited when we hear of blogs that may or may not be fictions (remember Salam Pax?).
And so, the saga continues: this time it's the blog of Isabella V., purportedly an anonymous heiress on the run from her wealthy family and an arranged marriage. "Many conclude that the site is probably a hoax," says Wired News, "but who cares, it's a good read."
Um, is it?

I would have to say Isabella's blog is a fascinating read, if you have the time. Her entries are so long and so well written, which is why I think so many people think it's a hoax or a promotion for a book or something. It's just interesting I guess. I like your blog, btw.
