"To steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own : use (another's production) without crediting the source." (Source: Merriam Webster Online Dictionary)
People who copy and paste holus bolus other people's already approved Random Mystery intro's into their own and then claim them as their own...
SUCK!
I can't make it any clearer than that :)

That would be fine is my guess, quoting from other works a Sleuth may have read (yep some of us can read.. not many of us get the time!)
One thing to watch out for and ringing alarm bells with the spot thing is that it's got to have been written by the right the right time period, Sleuth is set between 1920 and 1940 (don't know if there is a consensus on that) so not point quoting something written in 1980!

I understand your concerns with the time period thing. I was thinking about quoting from works prior to 1920. This should help with keeping in the time period.
Quoting from works within that time period (1920 - 1940) would probably be ok as well. But I was thinking on playing it a bit safe and just sticking to earlier works. Anything later than 1940 would not be appropriate for this game, so those works should definately not be quoted from.

BATS!
I had been hearing some sounds from my chimney and the ashdump door, so I had opened it up in case there was a bird that had fallen down the chimney.
Now I stood in the kitchen looking at the bats flying around, wondering what to do next, and regretting that I had such a soft heart.
..............
May be this could be an useable start for an intro? - but unfortunately I can't figure out how to continue from here...
- so I thought that I would just leave the idea out for free. If anyone wants to make a complete intro out of this "start", please feel free. You don't even have to quote me ;-)
It was just something that recently happened to me, and I came to think that is might become an intro in some way. :-)
Good luck :-)
