Can an ActivityPub 'Place' also be an Actor?

With followers, an outbox, etc.

That could be useful for both real-life places, and fictional places in stories, and in video games.

Should an ActivityPub 'Place' be used to represent a fictional place?

Such as a fictional place in a story, or a video game?

Sometimes you publish a story to your site, and then just forget to tell anyone about it for... a month?

Anyways, a bit of a stranger piece for yours truly. Lemme know what you think. ~10m read

"That spring, the wind ceased to speak.

"It was not an easy tongue. Stand in copses of young trees, sway to match their branches. Wait on sea bluffs, watch the patterns of waves and spray, let the drum of blown sand sting your skin...

"Windspeakers, even then, do not hear its words. But welcome them from the cold, warm their cold cheeks, wet their chapped lips, and often they speak.

"And what they speak is always true."

I also wrote this short story, inspired by the eclipse. A cozy little scifi, about coming home. 600 words:
