Hello,



Is there a way that we can write like a "chain" mystery?


I was thinking of writing something about a secret organization of sorts. Then I was thinking of writing mysteries that are somewhat connected to each other.



Is such a thing possible?


Please and Thanks.

Doomsayers are linked (that's a series of FM mysteries here) where finishing I opens up II and solving II opens up III. But I think that's just a special circumstance. You'd have to approach Admin about that.

Otherwise there's nothing wrong with writing a mystery and then a sequel to it,a nd linking your mysteries puerly by your story telling abilities. They won't be 'physically' linked but if the second was based on the first, then people would have to play the first for continuity.

Other than that there is no 'physical', 'mechanical' way to link mysteries.

Thanks,


I'll try to write the mystery first. See what I can do with it. Then ask the admin or something of that sort.
