My first thought was "Quothe the Raven"
But, since everyone was excited about doing the detective stories, I'd figured I'd take one of his famous detective stories. Purloined Letter was famous wasn't it? Or is it just known by weirdoes like me. |

MoeJoe - I didn't think so. Not only is he missing a milk mustache, he also isn't getting his eyes picked out by Ravens :-) |

MJ - I like it.
As long as the community keeps reading, I'll keep writing and editing. So - Poe for right now. It gives us a broad enough range to target so there will be something for everyone. Once submissions have been sent in, we can do a MR wide vote for title and cover. |

Sorry! I assumed that because Gutenberg has all the books, it was fair game
I do still want to do detective stories though. Who else wrote detective stories? |

Edgar Allen Poe, but whatever we chose, you can still write a detective story. It's all about your interpretation, your take on the character or the writer, or one of the writer's ideas.

Holmes is PD in Canada and we have a Canadian server... just sayin'.
By the way Jaxx, Complete Sherlock Holmes . a wonderful read, if you decide to give it a try. Glad we'll have a new writer's craze! |
