The “not talking to each other” thing

It gets complained about A LOT on here, and it can get annoying but I’m starting to wonder if it’s going to wind up being integral to the plot… the MIY told storywalker Julie “Don’t you know you can’t change anything in a story that’s been told?”

We’ve heard that before but then I thought back to her throwing the rope to Boyd - how was she able to do that? Maybe because Boyd hadn’t told anyone the story of what happened to him at that point (he may have and I might be misremembering tho)

But what I’m getting at is, maybe the fact that they don’t tell each other stuff will play into what Julie can change when storywalking - if nobody’s told the story to anyone, maybe that’s like a loophole she can exploit.
