The weather outside is frightful the horrors inside are delightful And the creatures that come from sideways are from decidedly non-euclidean geometries. Let it snow. Let it snow.

So sit back relax and enjoy the eggnog and the hot coco. Ignore the horde of snowmen besieging the front door, the rabid elves on the shelves and hatchlings from their decorative bulbs. The holidays are upon us! The rules are thus in our yearly wintry offerings! Tags at the top of the story Holiday theme Original Fiction Oneshot 45k word limitation! As we partake in festivities to usher in the new year! I bid thee all Winter 2021 OPEN! Find it here!

First story is up! all lights point to green!

Thanks, IR! My story is in the works; will probably need a few weeks to finish. It doesn’t have a name yet, but it will be the third and final story in the trilogy that began 2 years ago with “The Ninth Reindeer” and continued last year with “Checking It Twice.”

Oh….dunno, a reduction of word count, not sure I can manage Depends on my muse TBH.

I decided to splurge a bit and so I have two stories. Vampire Gynoids From The Future Sequel to Clucking Doom The Final War is coming for the Global City, tensions rise as the CEO and youngest sister of the Megacorporations goes missing. Her brother finds more than he bargained for. And Slither Direct Continuation of the holiday canon and sequel to Offering Sorrow In the shadow of the cataclysmic eruption of Yellowstone and the sinking of Cascadia Logan, Glykon and Pals find a little breathing room in the calm before the storm as more of Duncan’s children at long last come home.

And like I promised Winter Holiday 2021 is officially open!

Just in time for the holiday season, we're seeing an influx of spambots, on our Forum and in the Archive's review pages. Here's what you can do. If you see a spambot post in the Forums, click the little link at the top right corner of the post that reads "Report Post." The moderators will make it go away as quickly as possible. If there are multiple posts, report them all. You can leave a one-word report if you'd like, such as "Spam" or "Spambot" but it's not necessary. When we read the report, we'll know right away what the issue is. If you see a spambot review in the Archive, and you're the story's author, you can always delete it. If you're not the author, you can report the review using the "Report Review" link in the lower left corner of the review. It does help immensely, since these reports are delivered via email, to drop in that one-word report, but even if you don't, it's pretty easy to see those spambot reviews when the review board is accessed. What shouldn't you do? Don't click any links. Who knows where most of those links have been? For all we know, they could have taken a quick trip through the malware pool before landing on your screen. Practice safe surfing and don't click anything, especially when the post is in Cyrillic, or German, or some funky font of dubious provenance. We like our members and want you all to stay safe!
