The kind bits of mail we get.
Readers write to us. Sometimes it's a Paperline case they reconstructed. Sometimes it's a stuck Warden's Lantern puzzle. Sometimes it's a photograph of their grandparents' lighthouse. This page is a small, slow showcase of what comes in.
Recent case submissions
Paperline players reconstruct their procedurally generated cases as short stories. We read every one and pick a few a month.
The Fisher Who Forgot
Halliday's reporter got there by cross-referencing the fisherman's mother's testimony. The final transcript is the sweetest, saddest thing we've read.
A Clarinet in the Wall
By reader @paper_rune. Four suspects all telling different truths about the same apartment. No one died. There was just a clarinet in a wall.
The Editor's Last Friday
A Paperline run where the reporter was the suspect. Yosuke's notebook of her own interrogation — 8,000 words of meta-fiction.
The Quiet Case
Concluded, correctly, that nothing had actually happened. The suspect list was six people behaving suspiciously for six unrelated reasons.
Write to the desk
Paperline cases, lighthouse photos, a paragraph about what you're playing — all of it goes to one inbox. We read everything. We answer what we can.
