scfranklesLittle bit late with the activity, but let me beg for forgiveness for my transgression by offering you here a newly rediscovered Victorian parlour game… (*waggles eyebrows*)
Sinner, Saint, Neutral
The game goes like this—pick three characters from canon that fit together in a category, and then assign one the title of saint, one the title of sinner, and the last the title of neutral.
For example:
Three villains: Moriarty, Grimesby Roylott (SPEC), Charles Augustus Milverton (CHAS)
Saint: Moriarty - by choosing to make his attempt on Holmes’s life at the Reichenbach Falls, he manages to revitalise the Swiss tourism industry.
Sinner: Roylott - having discovered or bred the only milk-drinking, ear-bearing snake in existence, he uses it to bump off relatives rather than donate it to science
Netural: Milverton - he may be making things sticky for the upper classes, but he is also injecting much needed cash into the lower end of society.
And here are some further groups to consider, but do feel free to come up with your own.
Three people named Victor: Victor Hatherley (ENGR), Victor Trevor (GLOR), Victor Lynch, the forger (SUSS)
Three landladies: Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Warren (REDC), the landlady [who] babbled of green peas at seven-thirty (3STU)
Three governesses: Violet Smith (SOLI), Violet Hunter (COPP), Grace Dunbar (THOR)
Three detectives: Lestrade, Hopkins, MacDonald (VALL)
For groups and for the assigning of the three titles, the more creative your thinking the better. Please leave your ideas in the comments!
As always, you needn’t take part in this activity if you don’t wish to. Once you’re a member, you can post what and when you want—as long as you keep to the 500 words or less wordcount and the ACD Holmes ‘verse. AUs, crossovers and fusions are all permitted, as long as the characters remain essentially recognisable as the original ACD versions.
