I'm not sure where you got the notion that stories alone are escapes from reality. A lot of general media were meant to be escapes from reality.
*sigh* I originally wrote that as movies, but changed it to stories to be a tad more generic and refer to the other media, but that obviously failed.
Yeah, I'm just one big load of fail. :(
I actually thought that was what you meant at first, but I guess my brain cancelled that out and went for a more literal approach by figuring you were talking about the plot in question.
