This Sunday at Sherlock60: The Speckled Band

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Hello, all! Are you ready for the weekend? We've got a real classic to read and write about this week: The Speckled Band! Few villains are as malevolent and psychopathic as Grimesby Roylott. His stepdaughter comes to Holmes and Watson terrified and her great fear quickly becomes theirs as well.

Haven't joined us for 60 for 60 before? We'd love to have you jump in too! Everyone is welcome. You can learn more here (including the schedule), but the basics are easy: read the story, then write a 60 word ficlet inspired by it. That's it! It's fun, it's quick and you'll love reading both the wonderful classic canon and the terrific variety of fic we all come up with. Come have fun with us! See you Sunday!

Special note: Your happy mod here is off on a long-awaited first trip to Europe, including a stop in the city herself, London! Very exciting! While I am away, I am leaving you all in the very capable hands of methylviolet10b. I should have wifi, so I'll try to keep up with the 60s, and my questions are already ready to go. See you all in a few weeks!

Another special note: Have I mentioned you should be reading A Study in Scarlet for June 3? Because you should! :)

Just my question. Any chance of a small group of UK 60ers treating you to lunch in Town?

Oh, what a sweet offer! Sure, that would be lovely. I'll be in town until Thursday afternoon. Any lunch from tomorrow on sounds great. Will that work for you? Sorry about the late reply, I've been a bit busy as you might imagine! :)

Ah, I'm at work in the day during the week - how about dinner? Don't know if the others could make it up in time, but I'm only 20 miles out of London, it's an easy commute.

Wednesday evening possible? Do you like Chinese and do you know Chinatown (Gerrard Street etc WC2)?

I'll ask around the others just in case, but let me know either way.

Dinner and Chinese all sound perfect. We saw Chinatown briefly via bus today, and I'm sure I could find wherever you have in mind.

Thanks! This will be fun.
