sherlock60 | Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Valley of Fear", Pt. 1, Chaps. 4-7

This Sunday, 19th June, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Valley of Fear, Pt. 1, Chaps. 4-7.

Holmes and Watson continue to investigate John Douglas' murder. And it has to be said that his widow and best friend aren't quite as distressed as you might expect them to be...

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. There will be no poem from her housemaid Rachel this week unfortunately, but there will be a new poetry form to try: acrostic poetry. This has actually been offered as a suggested form since the poetry page began but it has never before been used as the featured form.

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!
