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.

Yes, this is a nano-novel. You've got a typo in your link, tho - http://www.nanowrimo.org
Are you participating?
I'm actually writing pretty slowly this year. Assuming today turns out as planned, this will be my first day over 5k words...
...I just learned that Clement Salvadori - who is a noted moto-journalist, I hear - says this year's Holy Rollers "could give competition to Dan Brown and Sarah Palin."
That is either a heinous dig, or an awesome compliment. I'm taking the compliment.

Chapter 18 is now live. Things are starting to go all to Hell for reals now. Open war, stolen lab equipment, Chinese take-out.
25k words down and halfway through the month. Woot!

Not participating my ownself (don't have the time), but know heaps of folks that are. Do write though. Unfortunately, the muse has been a bit quiet of late. Have three stories am actively staring at, goal is to get at least one of them to the point of having an actual plot by the end of the year (it's good to have goals, even if you know full fecking well you're not going to achieve them!)smashinator wrote:Yes, this is a nano-novel.

I find the best way to beat writers block is to just start writing complete shit. Eg. "Q is bored. Really bored. So fucking bored that his boredom had it's own gravity and weather system. I mean really bored, OK."
Pretty soon an idea will pop up and I can abandon the crap rant and get on with the story.
Good luck with your own stories, anyhow!
...And, CH. 19 is finally up. It was finished last night but I had some technical difficulties in posting it.

Ah, it's not the writing that's blocked, it's the ability to come up with an actual PLOT! Characterization, dialogue, scene-setting ... these things I can do; coming up with a plot? not so bloody much.

Uh oh. Are you one of them literary writers? 
Coming up with a plot is hard work. When I have a character but not plot, I think about what the character really wants (ex. to get back to Kansas), and then do my best to keep him/her from getting it (ex. witches, flying monkeys, men behind curtains, etc.).
Or, you can just throw all your characters in a room and see what happens. It worked for The Breakfast Club.

Just posted chapters 28, 29 & 30.
Sorry for the delay if you've been waiting. I caught me a goddam cold that laid me out for a couple days. I'm working double-time now to get caught up before the end of November. Which is Monday. Fucking Yikes.
***EDIT***
...and ch. 31 is up now too.
I am a fucking writing machine. 5,123 words today. That's 39 pages, yo. Tempted to keep going, but I can hear my comfy, comfy bed sweetly singing my name.
