Coming this Sunday at Sherlock60: The Lion's Mane

[spacemutineer.livejournal.com]

Hello, friends! Welcome back. Let's have some fun. For this Sunday's Sherlock Holmes canon reading and writing pleasure, we'll be taking on the penultimate story in the collection: The Lion's Mane. In retirement in Sussex, an aging Holmes stumbles upon a fresh mystery when a man dies in front of him. Without Watson to assist, Holmes works to unveil the most unusual villain in canon.

There is no Granada episode for this story, unfortunately.

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

Optional prompt #1: wildlife

Optional prompt #2: First person perspective

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!
