Two gifts I have for you, Something Old, and Something New! Sequel to Vampire Gynoids From The Future! Am proud to present Precise Shot An impossible shot from a doomed dying future, They say the right person in the right place can make all the difference in the world but can a desperate shot millennia hence too late alter the fate of the world? Nandis’s facility is invaded. (Violence, NoSex,) Paradise While the world was looking out towards the vastness of the blackness of infinity. They forgot that space was in parallel looking and in response in that dark gulf that holds the stars and all. Preparations begin and Something is being made ready.

The taste of autumn has begun to tint the air. The cycle of seasons ebbs and flows where it goes nobody knows! Come one, come all to this festival of fall! Celebrate the changing of the leaves the beckoning of the well tended harvest. Welcome to my house, Come freely, Go safely: And leave something of the happiness you bring! One Shots Under 45K Include all appropriate tags at the beginning of the story Horror/ Halloween theme Original Fiction The harvest moon cometh full and round Illuminating what once was hidden Hospitality freely given, come rest a spell! Celebration is the cure for weary bones Close your eyes and do as you are bitten bidden The wolves are just beyond the tender hills as we prepare our solemn feast. The herd is safe under the shepherd’s crook, the lambs are fat and ready for shearing. “Listen to them- The children of the night. What music they make!”- D I do so solemnly declare that Halloween 2022 is open!

Ooooh! You have my curiosity. I think I’m going to for for something different as well.
-
I’m gonna post Halloween 2022 tomorrow.
-
Going to take that as a yes.
-
So uh first time I’ve been hired then released within the first day. So either it was a fluke or the economy might not be doing well.

Seriously, that is exceedingly unprofessional to make you come in to be told you were let go. What industry is this in?
-
Ironically, hospitality.
-
Well, shit. If it’s a hotel chain, let me know, because I won’t stay with them in future. Same thing if it’s a restaurant.
-
I was thinking of putting up 2022 Halloween early. That way people have some lee way incase they want to do it?
-
okay 3 chapters left. I’m going to to try to find a better job so I can nip another problem in the bud. The grand irony of all. Money.
-
Yeah...writing’s not a rich endeavor for most. A few lucky ones strike it rich, and who knows, your number might be drawn and your stories land in every household, and you’ll get a dozen block-buster movies made of them. There’s always hoping.

Lol, not sure I’d ever let hollywood within a lightyear of my characters. xD

Tomb of Horrors Is the only reason to have Red-Shirt Syndrome. Ah! Memories! Hahahaaha!

I do enjoy when characters pick on it a little too late. It helps blunt the blow a bit when they do fall to traps. Bard: Does this room smell like chloroform to you? The sorceress sniffed the air for a bit. “Why am I not surprised with you?”The rest of the party’s faces paled in recognition as the sorceress suddenly bolted towards the door that had quietly bolted itself behind them.

Four Chapters left to fix.
-
Why did I start thinking “use-fix-a-flat” here?

Oh thank god that weird tonal shift was only around the last five chapters.
-
Yeah, that would do it. The secret ingredient is an ungodly amount of poppy seeds, greens and more. Whether or nor they wake up is another matter. The hulking barbarian might be knocked out but the elder sage of venerable age and the tiny sorceress that’s probably 90lbs wet on a good day is absolutely dead.

Definitely stick to the overall aesthetics. If its modern/urban fantasy sure it works. Scifi/futuristic could also work if only in a vintage nostalgic sense. If its more a fantastical world that may or may not ever reach the industrial revolution… Not so much. Greco-roman = Columns… They certainly had a fetish for arches and columns also open areas. Egyptian= Loved obelisks and almost always tag every significant structure with hieroglyphs. Aztec/Maya the other pyramid builders with serpent motifs… They symbol spammed their calendar all over the place. Hindu- Gods and goddesses with multiple limbs dancing. Elegant mathematical principals on full display and highly detailed.

There’s several ways to write it. A pressure plate that subtly starts the mechanism when wax sloughs off the candle in response to heat. wax, tallow or even the wick could all be mixed, coated or otherwise applied with somnolence inducers or even a mixture that all applies different dosages if only to have an ironclad punch together. Depends, on what flavor you’re going for? Transition? TotalPartyKnockOut? Or even A la I Have You Now My Pretty! Even a wire on the door that pulls a lever that starts the gas the moment its opened. Traps really give you a handy card the trick is working backwards from effect. Might be that weird title on the floor at the entrance. Might be a countdown mechanism. Could be all of the above?! Who knows? Only the trap builder and the architect, and the person who funded it know for sure.
-
Still revising, its a good thing I’m going through chapter by chapter and have an outline cause I can tell there’s this weird tone shift I have to solve.
Anyone else ever look at your own writing go be confused of a weird tone shift?

Usually an unwanted tone shift is caused by putting the project down and coming back to it months/years later.

Or it was that damned midnight snack of peanut butter and bananas on toast…

…

I can laugh at it now.
The bruises are gone but I don’t think I’m going to step into that house for a long time nomatter how much I love my grandparent.

Oh, good, you survived. Did you need search & rescue to pull you out?

Well between getting conked in the head by 1970’s ads in boxes , three outdated encyclopedias and essentially covered in every single issue of 1981’s readers digest surprisingly not.
