> [@Frank](#): > > **Rick** , there were so many typos in the post that prompted that question that even a Texan could not have made them. I add in the OP’s other thread about his “niece” that I linked to above, and I think we’ve got a troll. When I read this post a few days ago I thought you were being overly harsh and jumping to conclusions, **Frank** , but today I saw that **ArtzWolf** has started a [CS thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=745420) asking for advice on his _Girl Genius_ slash fiction. He mentioned both in this thread and in the one about [his niece’s dating prospects](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=744436) that _she_ writes _Girl Genius_ slash fiction: > [@ArztWolf](#): > > Her writing is really good, but its mostly Girl Genius slash. > [@My niece and dating.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-niece-and-dating/708101/32): > > Her main outlet (besides volunteering) is writing Girl Genius slash fiction, mainly between Maxim and either Dimo or Oggie. Just reading one of her stories, you can tell she is in pain. This strikes me as an oddly specific hobby for an uncle and niece to share. **ArtzWolf** has also mentioned that both he and his niece volunteer at animal shelters, which isn’t particularly unusual in and of itself, but it’s rather strange that **ArtzWolf** and his niece have so many common interests – especially since they don’t even live near each other. I’m posting this not because I’m excited about playing troll hunter, but because I think there’s a good chance we’re dealing with a troubled person who is indulging in some sort of fantasy here. If that’s the case **ArtzWolf** I wanted to let you know that we’ve seen this sort of thing before, and it hasn’t ended well. The SDMB can be a supportive place, but we don’t take kindly to being lied to. If your niece with special needs is fictional, if you _are_ the “niece” and your supportive uncle is fictional, or if you’re otherwise posting under false pretenses here, it would be best for you to either come clean with us now or go away quietly. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-is-there-math-in-everything/708416)._
