I’ve become increasingly entertained by the folks who are creating a dynamic version of fan fiction in the form of the Twitter feeds for various Mad Men characters.
The non-AMC-related Twitterers write tweets for Don Draper, Betty Draper, Sally Draper, Gene Hofstadt’s ghost, Roger Sterling, Peggy Olson, et al (nearly 70 Mad Men-related "characters" tweet, according to MSNBC) have genuinely embraced their characters, the show’s plotlines and have a savvy sense of humor. The interactions between the characters have provided me with chuckles as they pop up on my Twitter account throughout the week.
Take a look at some recent tweets posted by various Mad Men characters over the past few weeks:
Don Draper, Twitter handle: @_DonDraper (one of a couple Don Drapers on Twitter)
@Roger_Sterling is acting like a teenager. Apparently that’s what makes him happy.
@genes_ghost I’m going to have to get rid of that old helmet.
Maybe it’s time to take @Roger_Sterling out for another oysters-and-martini lunch.
Sally has been crying for days now. I don’t know what to do with her anymore.
Happiness is a billboard on the side of the road that screams reassurance that whatever you are doing is okay. You are okay.
Betty Draper, Twitter handle: @bettydraper
Do let me know if you see @sally_draper sneaking cigarettes again @PreppyPrincess!
Had another dream about Daddy.
Stop it @sally_draper! There is no such thing as @Genes_ghost!
Addressing envelopes for the Junior League.
Tying a scarf.
I’m an orphan.
Taking meatloaf out of oven. Topping it with ketchup.
Gene Hofstadt, Twitter handle: @genes_ghost
Wondering if I can convince @robert_draper to hide the helmet in @Gene_S_Draper’s room or in the trunk of the Lincoln.
I don’t know if I like that @FaintingCouch. Reminds me of my mother’s parlor. Plus it blocks the hearth. What if you want to light a fire?
I turned the TV on to static last night, and @sally_draper came down and put her hands on the screen. I think she was sleepwalking.
