There is a new pseudo scaverger Hunt in which margo Roth speigleman in very much Enjoying LIQUIFYING OUR BRAINS. She* has Been Messing with the Omnictionary, leaving clues and threatening That those who Cross her Will feel her Wrath. Those of us in the discussion on the Ning think that Hank and John are both WAY to busy to be orchestrating Something to Intricate and Complicated and so totally Involved. Therefore, we believe it must Be Maureen Johnson. (And although She hasn't been Mentioned, I think It might be the Katherine as well.)
Margo has been very active** in our search, poking and Prodding us on, being as vague and Frustrating as Humanly (fictionally) possible! Us ningites have been conversing with her back and forth, asking her questions that we hope Will help us figure this Mess out. As someone pointed out at one point, "I've been talking to an idea all night."
The most interesting thing (until it got old) was the fact that Margo kept posting a picture of a spray-painted blue 'M' and the significant Omnictionary pages. If you've read the book, you'll know why it's significant.
This might just be the skeptic in me, but I think it's just some clever nerdfighter who wanted to see how much trouble they could cause. Well, it's most certainly worked! (The Ning discussion had over 600 posts!) Of course there's still that fairly large part of me that hopes this little dizzy-making and VERY Margo-esque adventure turns out to yield some fabulous prize. If not then at least it felt, for a while, like something epic was happening. And the planning, that's the fun part. ;)
