Oh boy. I will keep my distance. 😋 I have only listened to some Laufey (vocal jazz) so far. Considered cranking some metal but decided I wasn't in that kind of mood yet.

Haha, it wasn't bad, I was just dragging and needed motivation. Rage Against The Machine is my grumpy mood band. Haha

Rob Zombie has been my soundtrack this morning. Which says a lot considering it's only 8:45 AM. 😀

A little fun fact some of you may know, I love writing to horror movie soundtracks. One of the best songs to get your heart racing is In The House In The Heartbeat from 28 Days Later. (the title on the link wrote the name wrong)

Star Wars(all) Soundtrack

From that list, I'm definitely going with Butter Pecan. Although, normally when I eat ice cream it's vanilla with melted peanut butter poured over it and then stirred until it's mixed and soft. The funny thing is, I won't buy peanut butter ice cream because I don't like how it tastes. lol

Maxxxine / Pearl / X franchise. Is it worth it?

Absolutely. I wasn't sure about X but I watched it and I was glad I did. There is a moment in it, that hit me on a deeper level. If you ever watch it, I'll talk about it with you. I recommend them. Well, at least X and Pearl, I haven't seen Maxxine, obviously. Fingers crossed they get it right.

Bill Skarsgard seems like a great casting choice for Nosferatu.

I fully agree. I love him. Mom calls him my "pretty man" You know, your pretty man, the younger brother of Eric(True Blood) and Floki(Vikings). Haha, she is bad at names.

This means I will give The Crow a chance, even though I am the only person I know who didn't care for the original.

28 Years Later as well. Along with

Nosferatu

Longlegs

Maxxine

Beetlejuice

The Black Phone 2 If you've never seen the first one and you like this type of movie, watch it.

Haha, okay, I'll stop, there seem to be so many.

French fries are the go-to, but given the choice, onion rings every time.

Swim in the ocean or swim in a pool?

Absolutely. I have several times.

WYE explore a supposedly haunted building alone?

The last one I saw in the theater was Abagail. It was great and I can't wait for it to start streaming so I can watch it again to see the little things I might have missed.

The last movie I watched was Dune 2. I echo Gillian and Verbal, this was excellent.

I want to add an ebook to my profile page, but I can't see how. Any clues?

Sorry, this has taken me a minute to reply, I was double-checking. As far as I'm aware, we are unable to post ebooks as we did before. You can try to put a link and a brief description of it on your profile.

It is on our wish list.

I wanted to let you all know that in the edit boxes or even making threads, you might see words wordings split to the next line in random places. They are sorting it and it appears normal when you hit enter/submit. I just wanted to give you all a heads-up in case it has looked weird. It's not you.

I messed up, Ping. I’ve msgd Molly. I hit edit and fixed a typo where I called a character by wrong name, then hit Republish and it just sits in drafts. Doesn’t say pending approval. No buttons shown except “preview”. I doubt it’s in queue since sitting in drafts. Hopefully Molly can get it back.

I sent you a message.

Quote by Ping

The comments for the new competition story aren’t shown anymore and can’t be accessed. Is this already being addressed?

The story is actually only shown as a draft via Molly’s link above. It isn’t shown on the front page either.

Thx

Thank you for letting me know this. I've reported it.

All sorted and you should be able to access it correctly now.

We officially have our first entry!

The banner says $150 and your post and the comp page say $100. Or is that a joke about the comp theme?😁

As much as I would like to take credit for that being on purpose, I just forgot to change the amount. A missed opportunity there.

Quote by redwriter

Word length for comp please?

The word count minimum is 1000 and the maximum is 5,000
