In both public and private net fictions the mystery of death can also be a motivating force. Sometimes a death is the occasion for an internet-meme-turned-detective-story, as in the case of the Kaycee hoax, whose author never intended for the identity or death to be revealed as imaginary.

I was referred to a blog collective, TruthBeauty, from a out-of-the-ways town in Australia, Wagga Wagga, and discovered a post by ‘casey’ about a great wikipedia game.
