As I'm sure everyone can tell by now, I love to write and I'm really getting into this character of Peter Gunn, I left another little "story" at Big Lucy's if anyone happens to make it over there.

Anyway...I was wondering exactly how does a featured mystery work? I haven't been able to subscribe so I've never played one. Doing an intro seems easy but is a featured mystery done in the same format? Or do you write a regular story with notes that explain (suspect B has curly hair) (suspect A has no alibi)? I'd love to do a couple, I could probably even do one a month, but I can't do anything until I get a handle on the format needed.

Any help/advice would be very appreciated.

Jojo- this question comes ones in a while, dont know if you can and will (its probably a lot of work, maybe too much) but maybe you could write an example FM? you can then post it as link in city hall (im sure ben will be glad to) and people can view it as example without need to sub. In that way you wont revel the solution to your existing FM's.
