So, not content with being a colossal prick elsewhere, Kanye West decides to follow one guy from Coventry on Twitter, making him the only person to be followed by Kanye. Lots of stuff happened, and suddenly this guy is swamped with people asking him questions, getting annoyed with the fact that he was chosen rather than the other 400K followers of Kanye, media wanting to ask him questions, that sort of thing. Seems the guy's gotten annoyed, and has likely made another account to avoid everyone. So, question: if fame (but not really fortune) came sailing into your lap, how would you deal with it? |

Hide under a new alias, and go to another site entirely, deleting my tracks on whatever platform brought me fame in the first place. |

I'd take the opportunity to take my meager earnings, buy a flamethrower, go to some generic gala with Justin Bieber, and flame the shit out of him. Hey, I can always dream. |

Hmm, depends what I'd be famous FOR, rather than the fame itself. I don't think just any publicity is good publicity. |

Fake my death, change my name, become a painter in Brazil. I'd possibly murder the other three EN guys and foist the blame on Pix. |

That's your solution to everything! Too cold in the winter? Murder us and move to Brazil. Toast undercooked? Murder us and move to Brazil. Do you have any plans that don't involve murder and Brazil? |

I would say that me and Kanye are totally BFFs, and if they want Kanye to follow them, they should send me a lot of money. |

What I'd do is instantly start charging journalists for interviews and photographs. And then likely start pulling the 'don't you know who I am' schtick on people and laughing while they scrabble around despite not knowing who I am. Because I like to make people scurry and scrabble. |

Offer to advertise via my twitter. Simply cash in. Edit - Ok, longer more thought out answer. If I came into fame somehow, I have to be outright and honest...I'd like it. I like the idea of knowing people will notice things I do because then I can more properly get things I create or do to reach people. It's not out of ego, rather out of just wanting to know what I do in life will properly get out there into the world and not be confirmed to obscurity. Kinda why I started acting/singing. |

I know what you mean, Ret, my first thought was "tell everybody to read EN". Fame for fame's sake is repellent to me, and I find the whole celebrity-worship culture disgusting, but being famous for actually doing something, be it acting, singing or in my case cartooning, I can see how you'd want that. I'd still be reclusive about it though. You think I avoid IM and don't respond to emails now? You have no idea. |
