Back when I was releasing “Fury of Solace,” we had a decidedly modest contingent of viewers who interacted with the characters on Twitter.

In earlier posts about our experiment in Twitter fiction, “Enter the Lodge,” I talked about how social media platforms can sometimes simply be the medium through which you’re telling a story; just because you have different character accounts tweeting at each other, for example, doesn’t mean that you necessarily have to treat it as if those accounts are actual Twitter …
