Hey all - I haven't been around much lately. Life has been interesting recently.
I know there are a few of you who dig my annual online fiction efforts, so I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I'm doing it again this year. Due to the interesting-ness I mentioned, however, I'm doing things a little differently this year.
I've set the novel-blog to be private, so interested parties will have to log in to read it. If you send me your google email address, I can give you access. Sorry to be exclusionary, and a pain in the ass, but I don't want my writing to be public this year.
This year, the story is going to ask the question: What would it be like for an everyday person to have Ares, God of War, as a roommate?

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.
Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.
Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

Some days you can look to your left as you ride and see your Valkyrie- pacing you and waiting for her moment...
Days like that, the only appropriate reaction is to call out "Let's dance, beautiful!" and then twist the throttle to it's stop.
Remember, folks- Your vote means fuck-all. If voting could actually change anything it would have been outlawed long ago.
The only votes that mean anything in this day and age are made from rooftops.

Well it would certainly make you question your belief in "One True God".smashinator wrote: This year, the story is going to ask the question: What would it be like for an everyday person to have Ares, God of War, as a roommate?
It's time for Humankind to ditch the imaginary friends of our species' childhood and grow the fuck up.

You tell him.
Anydangway, another November down, another 50k word novel done. Frankly, I think this year's novel kicks ass. There's violence, there's comedy, there's a bit of sex and romance, there's some incongruous pirates, there's a basic doofus who finally triumphs over adversity... what more could you want? [I know, motorcycles. No motorcycles in this draft. Maybe in the rewrite]
Like I said earlier, sorry to have done this as a private blog this year. I have my reasons. However, I'm willing to give you access if you're keen to read it in all it's unedited, rushed (but finished!) glory. Send me a pm with your gmail address, and I'll hook you up.
