Posted by Magna on 7/25/2007, 3:28 pm, in reply to "Re: Outline" I would suggest a small we have an outline of events between Hugh's coming to live at Baker St. and the story. Not to be listed in full in the story itself, as background information we can draw from when the characters talk. We don't have to add alot. Just a few basics. --Previous Message--

It would be nice if you throw in a few bits and bobs.
: The Case of The Copper Fingers!!!! That was
: the very first Wimsey I ever read. I was
: instantly hooked. Yes, he is marvelous. My
: very favorite Wimsey is The Nine
: Tailors.What an incredible book.
:
: Anyway.....yes having the background will
: certainly help. Do I need to try to figure
: up the same thing for you? I mean, you
: pretty much came up with it yourself, lol.

: If you've seen Nero Wolfe series it's funny
: at
: times. The episode "Murder is
: Corny" is funny.
:
: I like Lord Peter Wimsey, is so casual and
: non-threatening that most criminals over
: look him before it's tolate. I especially
: like the short story where it turns out the
: woman had been eletroplated and added to a
: couch to hide her body. I admit it's
: grusome, but it surprises the hell out of
: you.
:
:
: Moving on...
:
: The reason I added pictures of his parents,
: in the video game they are actually his aunt
: and uncle, is because your doing Holmes
: seeing Hugh's past.
:
: Hugh's mother is an american. His father
: lived part of life traveling around the U.S.
: with his father, brother and sister. So Jack
: Holmes is americanized, for our convence.
:
: The realatives they are expecting are his
: younger brother and his family. His sister
: is dead and Jack's father has alienated
: himself from the rest of the family. Jack's
: mother is coming, she's divorced from Jack's
: father.
:
: You don't have to add all that. I'm just
: explaining to you the family situation so
: you know who to add and leave out.

: He doesn't sound like a very interesting
: character. Is he a dedtective, or what? The
: mystery genre produces some of the oddest
: characters. Have you ever heard of Sexton
: Blake? That guy, I don't know how he ever
: solved anything, he was so goofy. He got
: caught nearly every five minutes! lol

: It's both in book form and a television
: series
: through A&E. I believe the series occurs
: some time through late 30's or early 40's to
: the 50's. Nero Wolfe is fat, doesn't like
: leaving his home known as the brown stone
: and loves gourme cooking. Raises orchids in
: a rooftop hothouse.
:
: He has a chef called Fritz and assistant he
: gathers evidance and interveiws witnesses
: called Archie Goodwin. Archie is also very
: popular with woman and handie with a gun.
: Archie loves to dance and has more then a
: few dance partners. He lives at the brown
: stone with Nero Wolfe.

: I can guess where Irene came from. lol I
: think
: I've heard of Nero Wolfe, but I've never
: read anything of his.
:
: --Previous Message--
: Yes, their are few others from there.
: Character like Weapons Expert Irene Hudson
: and Officer Brian Wolfe.
:
: Personally I think they just wanted to add
: the name Wolfe because of idea proposed that
: Nero Wolfe, a character created by Rex
: Stout, was infact either the son of Sherlock
: Holmes or the more likely Mycroft Holmes.

: Whoa! Those are awesome pix. Are those from
: that game too?
: --Previous Message--
: That way will be just fine.
:
:
: Linda and Jack Holmes, I added the one with
: Jack postrate because I only have two
: pictures of him. Though it looks like Hugh
: laid out.

: That is going to be so sad....
:
: We can write it that way, but what I had
: actually meant was that I would write the
: flashbacks that Hugh was having (which will
: be Holmes') & you could do the
: flashbacks that Holmes would have (which
: would be Hughs). That might be better so
: that our character styles woudn't get mixed
: up. We could do it either way.

: Mmm... I should probably give you an outline
: since we were talking about my writing
: Holmes's flash back and you writing Hugh's.
:
: Hugh's family is at the sussex cottage that
: Holmes had retired to almost a century ago
: for Christmas. As always they are the first
: ones there and have a few days till a few of
: the other realatives. It's the morning, Jack
: Holmes has left for the village to pick up
: some presents sent for through the post.
:
: Hugh is at the cottage with his mother. Just
: finished violin practic, talks to his mother
: who has just finished making a few cupcakes.
: She made extra for Hugh's friend Dan who
: Hugh met that last two times they came out
: to sussex. Hugh leaves with two cup cakes
: after giving his mother a note for his
: father about how he believes his friend Dan
: who he saw just the other day is being abuse
: by his father. Hugh then leaves to met Dan
: at a bridge over an extremely old, man made
: aquaduct that leads out to the ocean.
:
: Dan, I would suggest has brown hair and
: eyes. Also he's older then Hugh. Is a
: scapegoat for local children. His fahter has
: hit him in the past, claiming and filing
: reports in the past claiming that Dan has
: been fighting with unknown local boys. Dan
: unfortunately believes that his father does
: what he does out of love because his mother
: was no good and killed herself one winter
: five years ago. Dan has misguided love for
: his father dispite the way he's being
: treated.
:
: So when Hugh confronts Dan about what his
: father is doing and possible police
: envolvement Dan attacks him.
:
: I was thinking, Dan hits Hugh by surprise
: causing Hugh fall down the small bridge the
: snow covered grass, close to the steap side
: of the aquaduct. Dan is attacking Hugh again
: when Hugh bashs Dan in the side of the head
: with a rock as hard has he can.
:
: Dan goes over in the aquaduct and Hugh tries
: to save him. Forced to shore by the cold
: Hugh struggles out of the aquaduct back to
: home. He makes it back just before sucomes
: to the cold.
:
: When he wakes he tells the adults that Dan
: and him were playing/wrestling on the
: snowcover ground when Dan fellover the side
: with Hugh tumbling after him. He tells them
: that he couldn't find Dan.

: Sounds good to me. What else did you have in
: mind?
:
: --Previous Message--
: Yeah, we could do that.
:
: --Previous Message--
: Or maybe not even an entire scene, but more
: like a series of disconnected shots....then
: that might prove to be exceedingly difficult
: to write...lol
:
: --Previous Message--
: If you like we could have a flash forward to
: a
: scene in a future case where one of them is
: in trouble or the other one is caring for
: the other, being the other is injured.

: Hmmm...no I think that about does it. Now
: are
: we doing more than one or just their
: childhood ones?
:
: --Previous Message--
: Looks like we caught the french connection.
:
: Okay... Sounds good...
:
: Is there anything else you would like to add
: about the flash back?
