sherlock60 | Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Second Stain"

This Sunday, 29th January, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Second Stain.

We begin our story with the Secretary for European Affairs and the Prime Minister himself sitting on the settee at Baker Street. A highly sensitive document has disappeared - can Holmes possibly retrieve it in time to avoid a terrible war..?

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 we're trying a new poetry form this week: the epistle. 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!
