For years (or… well, whoever long it was), the twitter account @grantmorrison has been used by a fan to simply relay information between himself and other fans about Grant Morrison. It’s an innocent enough thing, and he’d always said that if the real Morrison wanted the account, he could have it.
Well, it turns out Morrison did. As of midnight last night, Grant Morrison and his publicist/wife Kristan have taken over the Twitter account. As the previous owner explained,
This just in: Grant Morrison and Kristan will take over this Twitter account for good! Come back at midnight – but midnight of where…? This account has been updated by a fan until now; Kristan and Grant will change the bio and everything else. Thanks for having me and enjoy!
And at the stroke of midnight of wherever the Morrisons were, the tweet at the top of this page arrived. Look out Warren Ellis and Matt Fraction – it looks like a new candidate has come in to take the fabled trophy of “oddest comic book writer tweets on Twitter.”
So be sure to follow him at @grantmorrison, and – oh. Huh. This is weird. Apparently Multiversity’s very own Gilbert Short is on the list of who Grant Morrison follows! Crazy, right? So you better follow him too at @ohmygil. If he’s good enough for us, and he’s good enough for Grant, he should be good enough for you too.
