  1. Apparently, the odds of a surprise birth is 1 one 2500 (this is where the mother’s unaware she’s pregnant until labor/baby shows up).  Something I’m researching as I’m reconsidering my existing WIP halloween story.

      It’s not like the first one was a bad idea, it simply had enough moving parts that a oneshot wouldn’t do it justice.  Even my hairbrained idea to “reformat” a multi-chapter story into a single one-shot wasn’t going to cut it anywhere under 45k.  So, the MC gets a reprieve and his sentence won’t be carried out immediately.

      I’m just shuddering at the thought of a stealth pregnancy. It’s bad enough when you know about it. :lol:

      Giving you a spook even BEFORE I post the story, that’s cool :whistle:

  2. I’m crossing my fingers hoping it’ll all be fine and dandy when it comes time to post the Halloween stories!

    Cracking up as I’m working on my Halloween story…

  7. Well played, though I’m now dabbling with Toby’s characterization (intended main character for my story)
  8. ACK!

  10. Sure, think I can finish this in time for halloween...2024!
  11. Plenty of resources online to explain what SQL Injection is, and the password requirements of the archive suggest that it’s vulnerable. (Google up “Little Bobby Drop Tables” for comics of it.) Anyways, the fix requires Manta2g to check every line of SQL and rewrite how the PHP is passing in data (changing string concatenation to the parameter-passing API). It’ll take time and I doubt this is her day job. In the meanwhile, be patient and understand this even freezes the hit-counters in place

  13. I started writing one story ages ago, wondered how they (the characters) got there. So, started another story to answer that, the flashbacks started to confuse everybody, so I started to spin those flashbacks out as separate stories. I’ve only finished one of those flashbacks, working on backstory to one of those flashbacks. And this Halloween story will shoehorn into the same universe. If only I had taken the blue pill...
  14. Biggest threat to my Halloween story is ending up in the novel section.

  17. Trying to focus at work, but my mind’s wanting to write my Halloween story instead!  Oh, the torture.

  23. Mine’s turning out to be a longer project too.

  25. Aside from “Choose Your Own Adventure” where alternative endings are expected or deliberately done in a comedy... I generally consider alternate endings as a symptom of a problem in the plot. Now, it might be possible that there’s material for two (or more) stories and could split them up.
