I was told the Administrators are looking for persons to submit a mystery case to solve, and if chosen they will give you a free subscription to Slueth. If this is true, I'd like to give it a try & submit one. If anyone has done this, or knows about it, please let me know. 2-4-6-8, who do we a-ppre-ci-ate......SLUETH!! Take care everyone, & I'm outta here for today. Bye

There seems to be some renewed interest in submitting featured mysteries. I should really provide a Word template for download.

I've gotten a few submissions, but really Wayne's was the only one that was developed and polished enough to be useable. Unfortunately, for those people who haven't already read one of the other featured mysteries, it can be difficult to explain what writing one entails. It's not a coincidence that the only useable player-submitted mystery I've recieved has been from a subscriber who already played the other featured mysteries.

I'd be interested in (perhaps) submitting one as well Admin. I'd love if you could provide a plain text template rather than a word doc however just since I'm a primarily unix user :) (yes, I have and will use open office if needed, but.. :))

I know this is a late reply to your message, but I was reading back through all messages, to check to see I've missed any, and I noticed your replied message to mine, and how I didn't spell Sleuth right. You know what's funny, I don't know how many times I've typed it that way, and had several people correct me. It's not like I can't look up on the screen and see how it's spelled,and to make matters worse, I know how it's spelled, it's just a habit in the way I type it. Since Fat Kitten brought it to my attention, I try to watch how I type it..lol. Anyway, I don't think I have what it takes to write one.
