Doctors advise that any participants of No Nut November who reach the stage where “50 Shades of Grey” becomes arousing should seek release immediately.

Ooh! Ooh! I can be useful! You actually can do that. If you go to the archives, and sign in, then go to “My Control Panel” and to “Originals Story Manager”. On the story manager page, it should have “Stories Written” at the top, but then if you scroll down (you have a ton of stories, so it may take a while for you), you should then come to “Stories Co-Written” and finally “Story Contributions”. That last one is where you can edit the chapters you’ve added to anthologies like this one. I’ve used it to edit Moonlit Snow after spotting a typo.

There’s only so much an automated spelling and grammar checker can accomplish; sometimes their ones and zeroes get crossed and they suggest incorrect corrections. If you know already that your work is correct in that instance, it’s easy enough to just delete the flag and move on, but what about when you’re not sure? What about when you actually start questioning whether the checker’s suggestion, wrong as it sounds, might be right? I give you the “am I wrong or is my grammar checker an idiot?” thread. Here you can post your spelling and grammar questions and – I hope! – get answers. For clarity’s sake, try to follow this form: The sentence: Write out your sentence in its entirety. The problem: Describe what part of that sentence has caught your checker’s attention, the proposed correction, why you think the checker might be wrong, and if possible, why it might be right. Good luck, and I hope this thread becomes a valuable resource for those of us about to go round an’ round with our grammar checkers!

Thanks for deep dive into mythology. I think that in general your writing style InvidiaRed is not quite compatible with my reading preferences. When the story does not explain quite what is happening and I need to take a break and research why I recognize a particular name to understand what is happening then my reading focus is lost. When it is nordic mythology that I sort of remember, but not quite... then effect is even worse. Nothing wrong with your style in itself, but it is not my preference. So keep working...but I will probably be a rare reader.

I remember how you read just enough of Mike’s debut to decide you really hated that fucker, and then finding out he went on to have a scale model of Luzurial’s suffering in his bedroom, well… yeah. Dropping him was right! Heh, I’m going to go add a link at the end there, something like “to see his luck run out check out The Woman in the Statue!”

sometimes it just needs an update, but I have also found in some writing programs that they are rather stupid

...wow. I guess I haven’t scrolled down that far for a while. It’s dusty down there. Got that story with the devil horse. Probably not gonna try and tie that one into the k-team stories. Thank you! Massively appreciate you pointing this out to me! Have keyed the evenhanded and Tommy looking at his own ass corrections :D

Some dudes’ll stick their dick in anything. This coat creaks, I dunno what to tell you. Maybe it’s less plasticked on account of being home-tanned and stitched from skins of game she ate, or got some weird magic woven in it from her kit-making Succubus friend, maybe it’s thick and not oiled enough! I don’t have a whole lot of experience with leather trenchcoats, but one I have heard creaked enough the dirty fucker would use it to cover fart noises. Oh! The old early 90s thing, right? I don’t think that I saw that, but I’m sure I’ve seen at least clips because I’m sure I remember the Winona Ryder bit. So maybe it did get a forgotten influence from there, but I think I just thought something Halloweeny. If I ever do a Halloween story set in 2020 it can be a 12 foot home depot skeleton boning. I was thinking you were talking about this recent documentary which I’d seen advertised but sure I hadn’t watched, and assumed a trail cam must have caught someone fucking a pumpkin or something. Can always hold onto the scenes you’ve written and re-tool them for something else! Violence: The re-usable resource! Hey, you coulda done it for Halloween party like 5 years ago when there were tons of entries! :p I kid, I kid. It’s cool you finally got the chance to write it.

Second is a review by Symbalistic! Thank you so much! Honestly it was quite an effort to finally get the thing done. I knew what I wanted to happen, but as I got closer and closer to the end, I kept getting more and more nervous about disappointing everyone, as the ending is a place where a story can easily faceplant (and I won’t name any stories here, but I’ve seen it happen multiple times). That made it harder for me to just sit down and write, a far cry from how easy and exciting it was when I started the story, but at long last I got it done! As for being able to “see” things, I think that comes from the fact that I’m naturally a very visual person, so when I do descriptions sight is usually the first sense I think about. I’m glad to hear it works for you. Thank you so much for reading this far, and I hope you enjoy the ending!

Alright, so I was holding off on these until I got the final chapter (which then became final chapters) done, but there are two more reviews for WitS Chapter 10! First up is @Thundercloud! That really is why I kept pulling these things apart. There were a lot of elements set up earlier in the story, and they all had to be paid off. Also, in general, I just want to say dang it, Thundercloud! You come up with all these cool suggestions, and by the time I read them I was too deep into writing the finale to use them! I know this obviously isn’t your fault but curse you! CURSE YOOOU!!! *Ahem* Of course, there is one thing I can address… Oh, the matter prism is definitely coming into play, just not the way it looked like it was. I’ll let you find out about that in Chapter 11… I’m really glad that went over as well as it did. I was, as you might have noticed in the Author’s Note, rather worried about that. It helps that by way of Pandemic Head, JayDee actually provided even more reasons for him to get pushed through a window. I think this might also offer some long-delayed justice for the ending of Mike Rapes a Dyke, as there you mentioned… Well, Lily didn’t get revenge personally, but as JayDee said of Mike at the end of MRaD: “Eventually his luck ran out, but that’s another story.” Turns out that’s the story of the day he antagonized the wrong rape survivor.

Thank you for the review (where I cut out the spoility part of the review, would be a shame to give final twist away for other people that happen to read this). I am glad that you enjoyed it considering how I struggled to get it done on time. I checked your chapter, but was a bit tired so I need to read it once more before the review.

Ahh! So it was Jay the woodworker! Well, that does clear that up. I shoulda read the replies here before writing my review George Lucas: “Let us never speak of the holiday special again.”
