Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "His Last Bow"

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

This Sunday, 3rd January, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for His Last Bow.

As we prepare to say goodbye to the old year, we also come to a kind of ending for Holmes. This wasn't the last Sherlock Holmes to be published, not by a long chalk, but it is the last story in Holmes' own personal timeline.

And so, on the brink of a terrible war, Holmes and Watson are reunited for one final adventure...


On a lighter note, the Seasonal Discussion Post remains open. How the story currently stands: tracking the tiny innuendo has led the gang to Colonel Moran's cobbler's, as they search for who is behind the thefts of shoehorns and crackers. Holmes suddenly declares that he's not at the cobbler's only to pick up his boots - he's there to rescue Violet Hunter! But not the Violet Hunter - there's a pair of them.

Is Moran forcing her to make counterfeit shoehorns for the black market? Just who did write the pamphlet 'How to Kill Your Arch-nemesis with a Paper Crown, a Shoe Horn, and a Proverb'? Was Holmes planning to interest Professor Moriarty in his exploding cracker or would Hopkins have put his foot down? And did all those Jimmy Moriartys ever manage to sort out whose Christmas presents were whose? The answers to these questions are in your hands...


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.

Each Sunday we will also have our weekly discussion post, and Mrs. Hudson's Poetry Page. Any poems inspired by this week’s story can be left 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 ^^
