It's not "full view" for me in Canada. :( Is it just one story - as in, would fit in the short story collection?

Yes, it would fit there nicely. It looks like there are several other interesting short stories and things in the same publication.

It also includes, as the front cover proclaims in large letters in two locations, the sequel to The Blue Lagoon, which we already have.

Hi guys-- Shall I assume this is xios01's project? If not, I'd love to read some Sherlock.

Nope. Book suggestions are for suggestions, not for claims. :)

If he/she hasn't recorded it in the 6 months since they made the suggestion, I'd venture a guess that they aren't going to. Even if they were going to, we allow multiple versions of works, so you can record your own, anyway.

Oh, and probably the best place for it would be the short story collection. The current one is here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=75224
