Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Three Students"

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

This Sunday, 5th March, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Three Students.

For reasons they are resolutely keeping to themselves, Holmes and Watson are currently staying in ‘one of our great University towns’. Holmes is not coping well with being away from Baker Street but perks up on being presented with a case. Examination papers for an important scholarship have apparently been copied. Can Holmes work out which student is the guilty party and avert a scandal..?

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 abecedarian. (If you’re giving this one a try, going through the entire alphabet isn’t necessary - unless you want to!) And as usual, 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!
