There seems to be a Jasper Fforde-related ARG getting under way, presumably to tie in with the launch of First Among Sequels on July 5th. Last week I got an email from an Amy Greenford, directing me to her blog at http://amygreenford.blogspot.com/. I know at least one other person got contacted, though that was a friend request on MySpace.
The blog outlines an odd event where two people (a shabby bride and groom) appeared when Amy picked a book up off the floor - she works in a bookshop in London. Some weirdness ensued, and she wants help in finding them.
Several people, me included, thought instantly of the Thursday Next books, but I discounted a Ffordian ARG on the basis that it happened in London rather than Swindon. Anyway, a few bits happened, and today we have notes left by Miss Havisham, asking whether Amy is an Outlander. So that clears that bit up - it is quite obviously something related to the Nextian novels in some way.
I'm considering going up to Foyle's at the weekend to see if there's anything else there. We'll have to see what comes of that plan. Cool fun, bringing two of my favourite things together, but it looks like I might have to read a few classics along the way.
