Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Reigate Squires"

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

This Sunday, 5th June, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Reigate Squires (aka The Reigate Puzzle).

Holmes is in poor health after a gruelling international case, and Watson manages to persuade him to take a short stay in the country. But even here crime seeks Holmes out - who is the mysterious burglar who has murdered the Reigate squires' coachman?

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, where we discuss a topic inspired by the canon story. And there’s Mrs. Hudson's Poetry Page too - any poems written about this week’s story can be left as a comment on her post. Mrs. Hudson informs me that the poetry form being revisited this week is the rime couée. And as always, her housemaid Rachel will be suggesting a poem for us to read, to give us added inspiration.

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. But don’t worry if you can’t join us then - we stay open for posting and commenting all week!
