Oh, thank you, your lovely, long comment made me so happy! I'm so pleased that you can see these sorts of things happening and that you're enjoying the story. I was worried that people would think I had completely lost my marbles.
But most of all (and this is the really scary part), you know that Hollywood, the media and everyone in the country would react exactly this way. Ack!
Ah, I'm glad you can picture it, too! Every time I wondered if I was getting too ridiculous, I thought of al the reality shows these days and people who get briefly and inexplicably famous, like the Gosselins, and that made me feel better...and slightly in despair for the country. And I wasn't thinking of THG when I started writing, but as I went on that was definitely in the back of my mind, how everything is a performance and "reality" is a complete construct on television, and how audiences are always salivating for the next "epic" story.
