Continuing a very old Sherlock story
Hello, dear friends!
It's been a wacky year, but I got back to fiction writing at last, and just now finished this 43,000 word saga that went dead... ouch. A year ago.
I doubt anyone remembers much about it after all this time, but in any case I've gone back and beefed up the earlier chapters. They are now faster, sleeker, stronger! Cleverer innuendos! More clues! Better sex!
I provided the following list as a memory jogger for those who want to get caught up. If you don't remember something from your earlier reading, it's because I've changed it. But I had to fix a few things after I wrote out the final chapter; my mysteries tend to need a bit of fine-tuning.
Thanks for the interest so many of you have shown in the story so far. I hope the exciting conclusion satisfies. Enjoy!
The Problem with Personal Blogs, chapter list
1. The case. It had started out to be such a pretty problem.
2. The post. It happened yesterday afternoon.
3. A complication. Completely unprepared for this sudden assault...
4. The hunt. Sherlock had little difficulty following...
5. The counter-post. John walked slowly back to the flat from the bus stop...
6. SAS. John came down to breakfast to find evidence of Sherlock's late-night arrival all over the coffee table.
7. Scotland Yard. Before John could react, Sherlock seized the laptop from him and began typing.
8. The plan. Lestrade sat with Sherlock through two video playbacks of the robbery.
9. The proposition. Molly was busy measuring the temperature drop in a fresh cadaver when the door to the morgue burst open.
10. The catch. John received the text while he was in his office.
11. The pick-up. To his annoyance, Sherlock had some difficulty securing a reservation.
12. Dinner. John was having a wonderful evening.
13. The aftermath. John escorted Sarah back to her place via taxi.
14. The morning after. John felt pretty pleased with himself when he came down to the sitting room the next morning.
15. Phase 2. Sherlock arrived at Bart's carrying a big bouquet of daisies and a hefty dose of misgivings.
16. John's day off. By the time John had consumed some tea at a nearby shop, he decided that what he really needed was a day off from Sherlock.
17. The experiment. Slowly, Sherlock opened his eyes...
18. SEWISH. John stared in disbelief, then stared some more.
19. Connecting the dots. Sherlock pocketed his mobile and turned toward John with decision.
20. Ultimatum. John and Sherlock turned up the West End street, checking addresses as they walked.
21. Post Mortem. It was dark and cold when the taxi dropped Sherlock and John at Baker Street.
The only other Sherlock story I've written is here: What Friends Do.
