Your Definition
The temporary change in personality that occurs after being deeply involved with a movie, book, game, or some other work of fiction. Can also be expanded to nonfiction ("documentary lag" or some other variant), but is less common because those works are typically experienced through the frame of the reader/player/watcher's default personality.
