Holmes' (my) Thoughts on Essays
I don't like proposal essays. You know my methods, Watson, and they do not involve proposal essays. They involve no essays. My methods rock in their lack-of-essay-ness. It's all elementary! ELEMENTARY!

Holmes Trivia 1
Ok. If you've read a majority of the Holmes stories, you probably know that Holmes has a brother. I'm going to ask some questions about this brother, and I expect you to answer them to the best of your ability :D This brother's name is Mycroft Holmes. Remember, NO INTERNET. And ONLY use the book if you absolutely need to.I want this to be challenging :D
1. In which Holmes mystery do we first meet Mycroft Holmes?
2. Is Mycroft older or younger than Sherlock, and by how many years?
3. Where does Mycroft work, and how much money does he make in a year?
Alright, that's all for round one. Please post your answers in the comments section...and after a few days I will check the answers and let you know how you did :D

Holmes Trivia: Intro and Rules
Well, I haven't posted anything in a very long while. Which is very unfortunate. Because...the last thing I posted was the end of my story, and that was a VERY long time ago. I have failed. Epically.
So, I decided that, instead of a normal blog post, for right now I will do something called..Holmes Trivia :D Hopefully it will encourage all of you wonderful people who follow this blog to stay here until I can remember to post at least once a week :) Heh...well, interactivity is always a good thing, right?
Ok, this is how it works: I'm going to post 3 questions in each one of these trivia posts. You have to answer them. The only rule is, NO GOOGLING. Seriously. That's major cheating. But they will be different degrees of difficulty..ranging from very easy to VERY hard (hopefully :D) THe topics will range anywhere from Holmes' life to questions about the canon, even to actors who have portrayed him. And everywhere in between. And if you get bored, please inform me. I hate to bore people. It goes against my nature.
So these are the rules. If ever you forget, please refer to this post. I will start a new one with the first questions later this afternoon, perhaps sooner.
I hope you enjoy this...
