Comments on 'Gumshoe Challenge'I'm sorry, but I couldn't wait for ten more ficlets to write a challenge (they are, traditionally, made in increments of 50.) I thought, "What the hay, 340 ficlets deserves a challenge, too! Am I right?" Of course I'm right! Cripes, they're more of a guideline, really!
So, the challenge? Well, you asked for it. Mystery! Yes, a mystery! And not just any mystery, a 1920-40s mystery. You know, "cat's pajamas", "gumshoes", and all that jazz. Oh, please, don't pout, it's not very becoming.

But I’m sitting at work, waiting for the attending to show up, so I wanted something to do. Probably should’ve done something else.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/12060?basename=196342007-10-25T13:19:04ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477Comment on Gumshoe Challenge<p>Holy Crap! 340 Ficlets!

Is there a time limit?<br />~ <br /><strong>Kermitgorf</strong> – Thanks ever so much for the Web site. I read a lot of mystery, but I don’t think any are Gumshoes.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/12060?basename=195172007-10-24T13:07:11ZAlexa ♥http://ficlets.com/authors/alexa1018Comment on Gumshoe Challenge<p>helpful site above.

I think I’ve got the perfect detective idea. Now I just have to come up with a mystery idea.<br />By the way, it might be to long for one ficlet, so I’ll sequel for the continuation.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/12060?basename=194892007-10-24T02:09:05ZAmasterhttp://ficlets.com/authors/amasterComment on Gumshoe Challenge<p>Neat challenge.
