Some general questions about writting scripted myseries.

1. They seem to turn out linear, I like this when I play but are they supposed to?

2. Is it okay to write a story with a back history of the detective eg. base it on specific things that happened to a Sleuth? I know this would ground it as a certain person and may not fit in with everyone's history but could make for an interesting story.

3. Is it okay to write a mystery from a none murder perspective as we get enough of that in the main game? I'm guessing yes as one of the Doomsayers has kidnap in. Also thinking of thefts etc.

Squirrel thank you so much for the detailed and thorough answer. I really appreaciate the time you took to write this and now the thoughts that ahve been buzzing around my head about a second and third SM are thrying to push past the fact that I've yet to finish off my first lol! Can't wait for a spare hour or so to get on with things.
