I guess that just puts the burden back on we creators. Draw the boundaries of what will and will not be acceptable levels of influence, and constantly seek to push past the self-formed first tier of active observers . . .
Hmm. Does that make me fairly immune to influence then, that I fired one entire first tier? Is that tribute to the strength of my characters, or to the fact that my brain chemistry largely renders me unable or unwilling to subvert my story in the interest of pleasing anyone but myself?

Or the characters, as the case may be.
Who, by the way, I also have to visit with.
