Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Gloria Scott"

[scfrankles.livejournal.com]

This Sunday, 22nd May, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Gloria Scott.

Holmes decides to tell Watson a little of his past, and relates his very first case - the one that gave him the idea of being a consulting detective:

While at university, he is invited to spend time at the family home of his only friend, Victor Trevor. And soon long-hidden secrets are coming to light...

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 lanturne. And as always, her housemaid Rachel will be suggesting poems 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!
