Re: Trading stories for words
Not all the letters are equally productive. But I'll think about it.

Re: Trading stories for words
I deliberately left out at least one of those from my list. I thought I'd be generous and let someone else take the credit! 
I'm selfless like that

Re: Trading stories for words
I hereby declare the list closed.
For now, that is. I need to sort all the words I got via PM and mail and text. Once that is done I'll let you know how many different words there are.

Re: Trading stories for words
Thanks and congratulations to all participants. I'm not sure how you did it, but you've collected 123 different words. 
You are so great!
I already now roughly where this chapter will be heading. Yet, I'm sure that "mimicry" and "mutiny" will cause some trouble - I love them already. Both Mary Morstan and Moriarty will have to be mentioned, John will have to meander through life for some time while maintaining a facade, and he will have mood-swings for sure.
Poor John!

Re: Trading stories for words
Wow, 123, that's a world record for this kind of thing (which hasn't been done before, I'm sure). I'm so excited for the next chapter. Have my tissues ready.

I thought about mailing it when I've finished writing the current chapter. Would that be okay?

Sure
Eventually everyone will support Johnlock. Independent OSAJ Affiliate
... but there may be some new players now. It’s okay. The East Wind takes us all in the end.

That would be okay. I only need to empty my mail account.

Re: Trading stories for words
I'm grateful for everything and I'll wait patiently. And think about new words.

Re: Trading stories for words
You're thinking about new words, Susi? I don't think we've already got a new letter...
Schmiezi: Just take your time. No rush!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."
I BELIEVE IN SERIES 5!

I'm always thinking about new words. No, seriously, Schmiezi hinted at something. But I haven't really started and will be waiting until the new letter is disclosed. No head start for me.

Re: Trading stories for words
I will give the same hint here soon, but I really need to get going with the M-stuff before. I just needed some dramaturgical reassurance from Susi!
