                                 LOS ANGELES -- A fictional Web site striving to be a 
work of art
                                 imitating life features the imaginary obsessive 
thoughts and desires
                                 of a stalker, which has garnered the attention of 
some law
                                 enforcement officials. 

                                 The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has 
contacted the
                                 owner of the "For the Love of Julie" Web site and 
asked that its
                                 content either be changed or a more prominent 
disclaimer displayed
                                 informing computer users who access the site that 
what the contents
                                 are fictional.
