Well, anyway.

It's too long since I've written something properly.

What do you want to see?

Honestly, you ask for a mystery, I write you one, and you don't even comment. Lucky I'm not petulant.

I liked the plot, and the gimmick was excellent.

It should have been at least 10 thousand words longer though, minimum :)

Ah, compliments, that's more like it :)

Um...technically speaking, the last bit was a criticism. I wasn't saying "it was so good I wished there were more of it", but that "the plot needed at least 15K words (which is roughly what the Sherlock Holmes shorts are) to do it justice".

You can regard that as a complement to your conception, whilst being a criticism of your execution, if you like.

true, but I'd struggle to write an extra 10,000 words in a single weekend, which was the timescale I'd set myself.

No. Please don't compliment his conception. 1 - I really don't want to think about it. 2 - we'll never hear the end of it.

Eeek! I spelt "compliment" wrong.

Bad dobby!

Yes, but was his conception not perfect? Immaculate, one might say!
