Summary
It’s time for an “After Dark” FanFic Writing Game where EVERYONE will contribute to the same story!
LynnyB came across a video online in which she learned that the well known “Rock, Paper, Scissors” game actually has a steamy history! It could also be called, “STRIP Rock, Paper, Scissors” a.k.a. “The loser removes a piece of clothing.”
Could there possibly be a better way to get our favorite couple nekkid? Nope.
So following Lynny’s request to add this to our “After Dark” challenge, with Francesca_C eagerly seconding the motion, we brainstormed and came up with a new writing challenge. The Rules are all listed in Chapter One along with the first chapter of the story.
STORY SUMMARY It’s Christmas Eve and E&W are spending the evening together, imbimbing lots of whisky and Petit Fours! But when Eliza asks a seemingly innocent question the night takes an abrupt, and steamy, turn! What precisly is the true meaning of ‘Rocks, Paper, Scissors’? Will William work up the nerve to tell her? Or better yet, show her?

Summary
Eliza was on a case on her own, no Moses, no William to help. And when faced with danger, she decided to ask for help rather than barge in, guns blazing. Her actions save herself, London from months of crime and perhaps even William's love for her.

Summary
This story is part of the Bump Off Betsy Challenge, and in the wise words of KallyKnits: better late than never. It started as a challenge posed to us by auntdinaner who asked whether we'd like to write a story together for the BOB Challenge, and the result is the collective efforts of auntdinaner, KallyKnits, LynnyB, PureOaknut, STM4, Bexinthecity247 and me, GrainneCarey. Seven writers, across 9 time zones (Pacific Standard Time to Greenwich Mean Time), seven parts (of approximately 200-300 words each) in each post. Can you tell who wrote which part? Let us know what you think in the comments section at the end of each post!

The Bounceable Lass and the Rogue by PureOaknut

Summary
The week after Eliza and William had become reacquainted after a month's estrangement, Eliza has him and two friends over for dinner. The next night William takes Eliza dancing, with Detective Colin Bremond along for support. Eliza and William both attract unwanted attention at The Holborn Town Hall ballroom, as they try to navigate dancing, ballroom etiquette, zealous partners and haughty women, not to mention their growing attraction to each other.
This story takes place on November 10th and 11th, 1882, just 4 days after the end of Forsaken. If you wish to, you can read the last chapter of Forsaken as I refer back to it a few times. But it is not so much a sequel as it is a continuation of that universe.

Summary
There's a fanfic challenge on the Scarleteers website (https://scarleteers.wordpress.com/category/news/)
It's Spring FLASH fiction--500 words max, and it is A CHALLENGE!
I was intrigued--I must try this!
The first chapter was my own prompt choice and my first attempt and was not part of the website's challenge. It was worth doing for the practice. The following two chapters are my submissions using photos that were provided as prompts.
Let me know what you think! I love your feedback.
Thanks for reading. -

Summary
This story is part of my Williza universe--if you have read my Push-Pull series--Study by Scarlet, HeartQuake and Forsaken--this story is part of that. It's not necessary to read them, but it may make a bit more sense in regards to the arrangement I have outlined for these two.
The timeline for this one-shot is late Spring of 1883, so into the future about six months after Forsaken.
I'm currently working on a continuing story from Forsaken. Keep an eye out for that in 2022!Series

Summary
Eliza takes on a case where a masher has been assaulting women in Russell Square by kissing. William becomes involved and it becomes a learning experience for them both.
This story references back to A Study in Scarlet. It's not necessary to read it, but I think it would make better sense if you did.

Summary
Eliza Scarlet's detective business is doing well. So well, in fact, that she is super busy and just needs a break. A hot bath, a bit earlier in the month than expected, is just the tonic.
