*cough cough* Ye Gods... been a while since I've been in here.
Anyway, I know a few of you are fans of the Holy Rollers novellin' what happens each November, and thought ya might like a link to where the action is going to be this year.
Well, here it is:http://winkingatdeath.blogspot.com/
The basic jist of the story is: when a man finds a way to elude Death, she has to track him down before he interferes with anything important - and every step he takes is like the proverbial butterfly flapping its wings, far away.
Should be fun times, starting tomorrow!

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.

Yep, She. Death was a prominent character in one of my previous novels too (Immortals). To avoid confusion, I'm not going to link to that one, but you can get to it by checking my blogger profile.
And in case you were wondering, yes, she rides.
Chapter One is now live! People are dying already! Go check it out!

I was just gonna PM your lazy, absentee ass to tell you that while I was stuck at home Mon. night passing candy out, I was rereading Holy Rollers 2.
I'm glad Lady Death's back. I liked her alot the first time around. How much black leather does she wear? Anytyhing less than neck to toe is less than appropriate

Zero - thanks, it's much better now.
Aggroton - Thanks. I'll have to look into putting them on Kindle. I spent a year polishing up "Charlatan" and querying agents with no joy. That's OK, I'm kind of glad no one picked that one up now. Gonna have to try polishing one of the Death stories up after Nano and see if I can't get that one published.
Also, Chapter five is up now.

There's a way to send html, pdf, doc, and txt files to your Kindle. I don't recall the process off the top of my head, but I've done it with pdf and doc files before.

Uh, every time I go Viking, things end up getting broken and I wind up sleepy and drunk. But hey, you're your own man. It's working so far.smashinator wrote:Super sleepy. Kinda drunk. But chapter 15 is live, goddammit. Wrote ~3000 words today. Planning to write ~3000 tomorrow. Will hopefully get caught up again...

Keep up the writing.
