“Watson, your latest story in the Strand is ridiculous.”

“Sorry, Holmes.  Lestrade had bet me I couldn’t write a tale with a jellyfish in it, and I had to prove him wrong”

“I hope your winnings were worth it.”

“Oh they were; they certainly were.”

Watson put the telephone receiver down and looked at Lestrade, who smirked back at him.

He had encouragement ;)

Oh, my! That's a fun explanation!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

You know it was too bizarre to be completely true ;)

Now THAT'S a plausible backstory for how this got written!

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Makes as much sense as any ;)

[debriswoman]

Yes, there had to be a better explanation:-p

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Exactly :)

Haha, well there are theories that Watson was involved in writing this story. I like this take on it and the subtle Watson/Lestrade ship. :)

Thank you - the theories are right, although they may not have included this particularly explanation.
