All submissions should be completely Canonical, and written as if they could have appeared alongside the original stories in The Strand magazine. There can be no aspects of parody, no actual supernatural encounters, and no anachronisms or references to modernized television shows that use Holmes’s name. Events established in the original stories can’t be revised or replaced – for example, a new and different first meeting between Holmes and Watson won’t be accepted. No major characters can be killed or damaged – put them back on the shelf for the next author as you found them when you’re done.
