Welcome to the mysterious mystique of the Mystery genre.

Whodunits, sleuths, detectives and noir writing pockmark the Book of Mystery. How will this book end? Nobody knows, but everyone wants to find out. Dark and foreboding, rainy nights are the ruling scenes here, and hard-faced, no-nonsense men and women canvas it's posts!

Just like the mysteries which abound for our intrepid gang of Eukara and her library assistants in their most recent adventure, we hope to see all sorts of other characters challenging strange puzzles, murderous mysteries, baffling problems and just in general finding strangeness wherever it may lurk.

I've personally been pulling for this book ever since it flashed across my screen last year when we voted, so I'm revved up and ready to write some great Holmesesque stories. I hope you all find ways to join me in this adventure!

Also, here are the Official Rules and Guidelines for the Book Projects!

Remember that the last day to submit (unless you are really good at begging) is May 31!

That'd be hilarious in of itself, Pie. Imma love watching them scratch their heads in confuddlement.

I'll see if time permits me to make something having to do with Mystery. I've found that time has preventing me from following through on my other promises, though.

 Oh boy, will I actually submit for this one? Will I be able to review any of these stories (which I love to do very much)? No promises as April is my last full month of classes for the semester so I plan on being very busy. If I find some time I might be able to whip something up though.

 Is the mystery topic specifically whodunnits, or can we just build the story around any mystery we like? I was planning to use Necromancers and Undead, which is going to be a really short story if it's a murder mystery...

Necromancer Detective: Who killed you?
Murder Victim: The butler.

 Well, this is going to be a hard month for me. This topic is definitely not my forte. I am not the biggest fan of mystery, but I am going to try anyway. Be prepared for some major stinkage.

You can absolutely make the story up of anything you can think of. Mystery is all about building suspense, tossing your readers false clues, then bringing it all together for the solution.

 O.O Doth my eyes deceive me?

:D This is terrific. I've read so many who-dun-it type novels growing up(and let's face it) even to this day and I consider myself a sleuth.

*Scene: three people on a couch and a detective standing in front of them. One is a maid, the other a butler, and the other an elephant in a long waistcoat and hat.* Detective: And the culprit is........the butler! Who I am convinced gored the victim before trampling him to death!

To submit your story, you can:
PM it either to the Head Mod, Eukara Vox, or to any of the ArchKnights of L&L (superjars, Mritha, Cow Face, Master Samak or Shreder)
Post it on a site like pastebin and PM us a link to your work.

Do not post it anywhere else in L&L, as we like them to be a surprise when they are released into the book.

You just write a mystery story and PM it to Euky or an AK by April 30th. It's pretty free.

I'll try it out, but I haven't a clue how to write a good mystery. Here's to hoping this month's homework isn't heavy!

The mystery is about whatever you want. You are crafting a short story or poem that is mysterious in some way: it could be a straight-forward mystery, like the Sherlock Holmes stories, or it could be a story about a mysterious event or really anything that has some mysterious parts to it. That's the lovely thing; the Book of Mystery was made to let your creativity run wild and come up with unique and interesting ideas for stories.

I've had a certain mystery in mind... I'm going to try to make it so the characters figure it out, but the reader is not told, and must figure it out for his or herself. Would this be perfectly all right?
