morrigirlFound this in the December 2008 issue of Writer's Digest. It's called Miranda Rights for Writers' Subjects and, given the fact that I have lost friends based on stuff I've written about them, thought it was very funny.
1. You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand that I will make stuff up, with or without your input?
2. Anything you do say may be used in my next project. Do you understand that my opinion of you will affect how others perceive you?
3. You have the right to consult an attorney...now or in the future. Do you understand that if you seek legal action you will be, in effect, admitting you're guilty of the actions and/or behavior of said character?
4. If you can't afford an attorney, tough. Do you understand that I am counting on it?
5. If you decide to answer questions, or otherwise continue our relationship, you'll still have the right to stop answering questions at any time. Do you understand that I'll still make stuff up?
6. Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you still willing to be my friend?
