Ack! Run, hide, Halloween is nearly here! (Whoever’s eating the calendar, please stop, time goes by fast enough as it is.)

Those ranks… take a while. AFAICT, a post is 5, a like/reaction is 1.

Come my darlings its that time of the year. The touch of fall tastes wind sweet on the desert air. The Harvest precedes the frost and the scarecrows grow active in their migratory phase. Aplenty is abound like the changes of the moon. For wealth cannot be measured in dead metal and electric glyphs. Hark! The Heralds cry! To thy bounty's surplus. Welcome to One and all and thy ambitions The RULES Keep your submission Under 50K Include all appropriate tags at the beginning of the story Horror/ Halloween/Festival theme Original Fiction May your roots draw deep beyond the frost Your pursuers cramp before the butcher’s blade The fairy rings open to hallowed halls. The leaves begin to sing in autumnal hues. Experience is Fall’s true due!

Looking forward to it

Interregnum A police officer is notified by dispatch to check an abandoned mall on Halloween with a storm coming in. (Violence, Blood and other Tags as needed.)

I haven't had much to say lately, but I'm still cranking right along with stories, especially the 5 I talked about in my last post. It looks like I'll be ready to start posting chapters of both “Precocious” and “RB-X-17” some time next month, and “Time's Error” will probably be ready for prime time in October. It's a little too early to say when “Very Big Brother” or the Gravity Falls story (which I had been calling “Memories” but am now calling “Perved”) will be ready.

So, I know this is more of a fun thing but I got this recently and haven’t been living up to it. My bad.

We permit content with fictional characters who are 15, and as @Desiderius Price notes, the appropriate tag is Minor2 for characters aged 14 to 18, and Minor1 for characters under 14. The only area where characters under the age of 18 are not permitted is Celebrity Fiction/Real Person fiction. Legally, we can’t allow that sort of story. However, original work with fictional characters under the age of 18 is allowed, as long as the story is properly tagged.

Tag for teenagers is minor2 (14 and older). Tag for younger is minor1.

Just as a heads-up for all our members and guests, we’ve been getting a number of dubious posts lately on the forum. We’re removing the posts, of course, but we don’t always get to them instantly. PLEASE exercise caution, and don’t click on any links you see in these posts. Trust me, there’s nothing good waiting for you at the other end. Practice safe surfing, okay?
