And you are most definitely not only valuable to me because of the made up voices. I appreciate the writing and the understanding - both of the stories/craft, and of my own dealings with the phenomenon - but that's far, FAR from the only thing that makes you mean so, so very much to me. *snuggles tight*

I think that's when it passes from pretendy fun-time games, or stories, and goes into problem which can cause harm to the person. But that is... my thought on the question.
