I told myself I wouldn't make another post about this until the date is waaaaay closer but I made some art for it and I wanted to show it off

Regular emails from your friend Dr John Watson about the adventures of his eccentric detective roommate.

Inspired by Mark Kirkland’s excellent Dracula Daily, Letters from Watson will let you read through the entirety of the Sherlock Holmes short stories over the course of one year via bitesize emails.

Keeping with the precedent set by Daily Dracula of reading classic literature in an unusual order, it will be following the chronological order of Holmes’ cases, rather than their publication order.** This means we’ll start with stories about a young pre-consulting detective Holmes in the 1870s, and end with an elderly ‘retired’ Holmes getting up to shenanigans in WW1.

Emails will begin January 1st 2023. I’ve chosen this date to avoid conflicting with other ‘daily email literature’ projects, and because it is the date when all Sherlock Holmes stories will be in the public domain in the US for the first time!

I'm aware it's a very long way ahead, but won't be be a surprise when you finally get that first email? (Also you get a special email when you sign up and I think it's pretty exciting).

** You can read more about this on my FAQ page. I suggest checking it out before sending me any treatises on Sherlockian chronology.😅
