sherlock60 | Sherlock60: The Story Continues... with "The Bruce-Partington Plans"

This Sunday, 12th March, we'll be posting our 60 word ficlets for The Bruce-Partington Plans.

Holmes and Watson have a most surprising visitor: Mycroft Holmes comes round to Baker Street to ask for his brother's assistance with a case. A young man has apparently died falling from a train - and in his pocket were the top secret plans of the Bruce-Partington submarine...

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. As usual, her housemaid Rachel will be suggesting a poem for us to read to give us added inspiration, and as an extra bonus there will be a new poetry form to try: lies. (The page is headed ‘Poetry for Kids’. You’ll need to scroll down for the ‘lies’ form - all the forms are in alphabetical order.)

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!
