New Year's Resolutions

Making your New Year's Resolutions?

Why not resolve to join us every week as we work our way through the Arthur Conan Doyle canon stories?

Starting on Sunday 18 January with A Study in Scarlet, we shall be reading through all 60 of the canon Holmes stories in order of publication date.

There are many ways to take part:

• Write a 60 word drabble based on the story or inspired by it


• Join in the discussion post


• Read the drabbles and comment if you wish


• New this year: Mrs Hudson's poetry page - all forms of poetry welcome, to be posted as a comment on the page

Any questions or still not sure, feel free to contact one of the mods: scfrankles and thesmallhobbit

We're a very friendly group and welcome all who wander up the 17 stairs to 221B Baker Street.

What a fine idea for a New Year's resolution! Certainly a lot more enjoyable than the standard diet/exercise/fix-my-life-NOW resolutions that get dropped by February anyway. :-p

I'm so glad that I found this comm and that you are continuing for another round. There's really nothing like it anywhere!

Happy New Year!

Okay, so do we START reading on the 18th, or are we to be FINISHED reading on the 18th?

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Yes, sorry - it's FINISHED reading by the 18th ^^"

Our last Sunday for round 3 is 11th Jan, and then the week following will be for reading STUD and writing 60 word ficlets. On 18th Jan, we'll discuss STUD and post the 60s for it.

In the schedule, the date given for each story is the date we start the discussion and start posting 60s, but it's only a start date - people are free to post later, and carry on the discussion through the week, if they wish.

Sorry for not being clearer, and we really hope that you'll consider joining in! ^_^

The poetry page is an excellent idea. I'm looking forward to it.

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

Happy New Year to you too! ^^

I'm really glad you found us ^_^ I hope that we'll continue to see you round the place, and that you might join in with the 60s. If not every week, perhaps from time to time..? *attempts to look winsome* (It's a stretch: you winsome, you lose some...)

I think it's going to be very enjoyable - and a bit more relaxed and informal than making separate poetry posts. I hope we'll be seeing the occasional limerick from your good self? ^_^

[laurose8.livejournal.com]

If I could write even a limerick, that's cetainly the limerick I would write.

Happy New Year!

My good friend called laurose (and 8)
Has modesty as her best trait!
But there's no trick
To a quick limerick
Says Frankles: "I'll patiently wait!" (:P)

Happy New Year to you too! ^_^

All righty. I can't take on any more modding duties than I already have elsewhere, BUT, I will join in this year. I have a few 60s from round 2 that I will probably re-use, but I'll commit to 60 this year.
You did a fine job last year and I've had an eye on the comm, even though I couldn't post much, but this year will be different.
(No poetry from me, though - I know my limitations!)

I pop by whenever I have a chance to read the story during the week, and I plan to continue doing that in 2015. Alas, the last few months have been so busy I often haven't been able to even do that! I'll try to make more time in the new year for it, however. And perhaps try my hand at some more clerihews. The few I managed last year were quite fun! Or perhaps a 60... there's a first time for everything. :-p

LOL! Keep it up, it's working! ;)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

We are delighted to see you whenever you have the chance to pop in.

And please don't encourage Frankles with her puns ;)

As Frankles says, we begin the discussion and posting on 18 Jan, but people are very welcome to post any time in the following week. Or even later, if they miss a week and wish to catch up.

We always announce the next story in the discussion post, giving everyone who wishes a week to read it. And then there's a reminder towards the end of the week.

Hoping you will join us in one way or another.

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Happy New Year from me too.

Looking forward to however you feel like contributing.

[play-your-song.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Delighted to hear that you will be joining us for this year - it will be lovely to see you.

I shouldn't worry about the poetic limitations, knowing my abilities, all will be very welcome :)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

It is! So do join us in whatever form suits you best.

[bybwblack.livejournal.com]

Publication date! I like it!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Do hope you'll join us!
