Author's Notes: The drabble completes the following sentence of Dr. Watson's narrative that got so sharply interrupted by Sherlock Holmes: Right in the middle of them, a little island of ancient culture and comfort, lies this old home, surrounded by a high sun-baked wall mottled with lichens and topped with moss, the sort of wall --"

Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "A Study in Scarlet"

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

OK - here we go again, with Round 4 of 60 for 60! And this time we’re going in the order the stories were first published.

This Sunday, 18th January, we'll be kicking off by posting our 60 word ficlets for A Study in Scarlet.

An army doctor is back in London: alone, wounded, recuperating from illness, and looking for accommodation more suited to his limited funds.

And so, Dr. John H. Watson is introduced to Mr. Sherlock Holmes...

If you haven't tried 60 for 60 before, full information - including our schedule - can be found on our profile. But in essence: you read ACD's story and then you write a 60 word story inspired by it! You don't have to post a story every week - just join in whenever you feel like it.

On Sunday we will also be having our customary weekly discussion post, and Mrs. Hudson is making her debut with her poetry page. Simply leave any poems inspired by this week’s story as a comment on her post.

You can choose one activity, or have a go at everything. Or just come along and read the 60s! (And have a chat in the comments ^^) All options are absolutely fine.

Hope to see you on Sunday ^^
