A Quick Mulligan
Just a short item I tweeted earlier – it doesn’t really fit into a Sunday Summary, but I thought Flashers might find it interesting.
You might also call this the unstated ending of the last story arc, involving the Sweet family.
We haven’t seen the last of those miscreants, however.

Seriously, as an experiment, maybe you should tweet the next Mulligan. A whole serialized story in 140 character installments. Or perhaps, more ambitiously, a tweet-based Collective with each “member” tweeting the others, so the tale unfolds on twitter via the Collective’s tweets. They work through social media, why not have the tale unfold through social media? You could even have different accounts and we could follow through #collectivedetective, or some shorter hashtag.
If you actually do this I profusely apologize for giving you the inspiration for what will undoubtedly be a ton of work.
The only saving grace to that moster of an idea is that it can unfold in real time so you can spread it out over days if needed.
Heh – no worries, I’ve actually been working on just such a beast, on and off, for about a year. I don’t want to give away too many details, but I can tell you that it’ll probably show up sometime in October, and it’ll be directly relating to the Ruby Departed thread, although Ruby won’t be appearing in it.
I thought it was a crazy idea. I still do but if it can be done, you’ll do it.
