Those of you who read my novel CROOKED LITTLE VEIN will hopefully remember Falconer, the weird "detective" whom Mike McGill meets on a plane. Falconer actually started out as a character whom I wrote flash-fictions around as warm-up exercises. If you never read my LiveJournal, then you probably never saw Falconer.
I remember being delightfully surprised when Falconer showed up in Crooked...
Likewise, thanks for linking these.
Come to think of it, didn't another of your flash fictions become the opening to Angel Stomp Future? Been a while since I've read it, so I suppose I could be imagining that one...
How often does a one-off, warm-up type of thing grip on to the grey matter until it is granted a resurfacing?
(That last bit maybe should have been saved for the interrogation thread.)
Hm. Perhaps one day the Falconer will have to instigate investigate something in the Vale of tears. And in the vein of cheesy 70s/80s American TV detective shows, there'll be a" Special Guest Star," Mister Ramp!
Funny, I just read these while going through your LJ archives. Speaking of which:

I read one of his flash-fics, just before the Falconer ones that featured the couple trying to feel each other's heartbeats from the first issue of Doktor Sleepless.
