I know that back in August ThreeMinds wrote about Mad Men and AMC temporarily taking some fan accounts off Twitter. But I had something happen last night that is, frankly, a little creepy, but interesting. After Mad Men last night on Facebook, I commented that I liked Peggy’s haircut.
That’s it. No last name, no reference to Mad Men.
This morning I woke up to an email notice that Peggy Olson (mind you, a fictional character) was now following me on Twitter. I’m assuming its not a moderator from AMC – but instead a super fan paying attention to Twitter posts that others are Tweeting – and anything MadMen related – signing up to follow the person.
Now I understand content creation – but talk about Second Life? Clearly this person sees themselves as a living, breathing version of Peggy Olson – and wants to make sure they stay in touch with her fans. Has anyone else had an “interesting” case in fan fiction 2.0?
