Coming this Sunday at Sherlock60: Silver Blaze

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Hello, friends! For this Sunday's canon reading and writing pleasure, we have Silver Blaze. It's a mysterious disappearance and a murder, but the victims aren't who you expect when Holmes and Watson venture into the world of thoroughbred horse racing.

We'll be discussing the Granada TV adaptation of Silver Blaze as well on Sunday. You can catch it on YouTube (you'll need to search - versions are region-locked), Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Video, and DVD.

Here are your completely optional prompts for SILV. Feel free to use one, both, or neither.

Optional prompt #1: Use metaphor in your 60.

Optional prompt #2: "Race"

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! Thanks, see you Sunday!
