Hello, sherlock60 community!

[alafaye]

I am alafaye and I am the volunteer mod for our next round, number 6!

I've read some of the stories on and off throughout my years upon this Earth, but it was with this community, during round 4, that I read them entirely without pause. I was unable to participate as much as I wanted to during round 5, owing to some offline events, but when I heard that we would be ending the rounds, I was sad since I now have Sundays off. I volunteered and here we are.

I've been in some kind of fandom since I was in middle school and I've since expanded to many others (too many to list). Sherlock Holmes has always been one of my first loves, however, and I've never left it. (I will endeavor to not let my fannish ideas color my posts here, but do forgive if they leak in without my permission, the sneaky things.) I eagerly look forward reading the stories with you during this next round and shall do my best to not muck it up too badly over on Dreamwidth as this will our first round over there.

We do have a few things to consider before we start next week, August 20th.

-What order shall we read them in?
-And would you like for me to guide a discussion of the story or did you have something new in mind that we could do for our Sunday reading?

Let me know in the comments and I'll let everyone know what our plan will be on Friday if all are amiable.

Until then dear ones.

Hello! ^___^ Lovely to see your very first modpost here ^__^

Regarding order: I do remember Small Hobbit having an intriguing idea - going in alphabetical order by client. Something to ponder perhaps...? But going alphabetically by title, or going in chronological order would be great too.

Echoing Frankles - lovely to see your first modpost.

Yes, I did suggest alphabetical order of client would be a different way of proceeding. Of course Round 1 was done in alphabetical order, so you could go right back to the beginning.

It is lovely :)

Lots of lovely suggestions I'm seeing!

*waves* It is exciting, isn't it?

Welcome! I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the Holmes stories.

I was going to suggest alphabetical order by 4-letter Canon abbreviation (from 3GAB to YELL).

[alafaye]

Oh, interesting idea. *adds to list*

This was more or less how Round 1 worked, although I joined in the 'C's and going back I can't find the first few stories.

...going back I can't find the first few stories. This has puzzled me in the past. I can only assume the founder members started off writing the 60s informally somewhere else before forming the comm and carrying on.

But you can see the complete canon order they used if you look at the index of spacemutineer's first collection of 60s on AO3 here (http://archiveofourown.org/works/345910/navigate).
