I didn't know about Stoddart's challenge! It really has potential, doesn't it? You exploited the contrast between the two writers well. Doyle is sort of his own Watson here, as well as a bit Sherlockian in between! I'm now remembering that he ended up believing in Fairies, later on, didn't he? Maybe he had another encounter? Trust Oscar to have a perspective on the shipping! There are some quite serious undercurrents in here--despite the lightness. Maglor's remarks on lunatic asylums--and Daeron certainly isn't mad in the way suggested, but he doesn't seem entirely well, either, somehow. Or maybe just in a really sour mood? (Oh, and what the others already said, of course: very neat idea!)
