I’ve found this to be a common trait amongst most authors I reach out to when commenting on the specifics of their work.

Really? Often they say things like "he prefers...", etc. in some sense speaking for their character not hypothetically but as if they were close to a real person that "does" things rather than "would do".

However pretending to be personally acquainted with the character is a step higher, I feel. How common is that?

And then you have Alan Moore, who takes it a step further and actually sees his characters.
