Oh...heheh...um is that what that is? A werewolf cage? Sorry, I was...playing with it. *shoves cage toward lillith* I didn't think anyone would notice.

That's alright Soapy! Just making sure I have everything for the move.

I've got sharpies if anyone needs to label boxes!!

In the meantime, I'll be in the corner, working on a "scared of the thunderstorm" story, having a chocolate chip and cheese sandwich, with Ed Sheeran's "I See Fire" playing in indefinite repeat.

I think I'm going to have some interesting dreams when I finally get to sleep tonight.

Awww man! I remembered the ghost! Anyone know how to transport a ghost!

*keeps spreading sparkles everywhere in all her hurry to get everything packed*

Er... sorry.

No worries, maybe we could sell the place to the YA or Romance crowd once we have all the traps packed up. Or...you know...most of the traps...

Could always try the classic approach.

Thanks Bos! That's sure to come in handy!

Good morning Hounds. I haven't been round here for a while. Hope everyone is well.

I've finished the novella in draft (32400 words), revised three short stories and I've started back on my YA novel, doing through the 21k words I've written so far before writing new words. However, my own writing may take a back seat for a while, because of...

This weekend is going to be dominated by one horror-related thing. I have a review copy of the DVD release Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide Part 2, with (gulp) thirteen hours of content. I'm watching it as I type this and Alan Jones has just talked about Dead Kids (aka Strange Behavior) and Kim Newman is discussing Death Weekend, two films I have actually seen. I even hired the latter out on video back in the day.

Also, I have a fairly hefty horror anthology to read before the end of the month, as part of my British Fantasy Award jury duties, copy arrived a couple of days ago. Better get started then!

Went to a wedding yesterday, so got home way past 4am. And today there's been kidlets to handle and work to do. I'z tired.

*hopes someone will box up all the leftover glitter scattered in the basement*

*sweeps sparkles*
*filters sparkles*
*boxes sparkles, tapes*
*writes 'this side up' and 'handle w/care' on the sides*







*looks around*

*turns sharpie on self*
*writes 'this side up' on my forehead and 'handle w/care' on my tummy*

*walks away whistling*

*snaps a pic of Soapy and ponders adding it to those websites of kids and sharpies and what they managed to do with them*

*adds pic to life hack websites, instead*

Today I was given some stuff called Hurricane Tape. It's the most wonderful stuff I have found in a while. It doesn't rip or tear, so you have to cut it. It's extremely strong, woven tape. Vastly better than duct tape.

When my local NAPA store gets it, I'm gonna buy a roll to keep in the van. I'm in love.

But yeah, I'm sure if I use enough, no harm would come to you in the move.

Um....okay? Thanks?

Can we move to an abandoned castle this time or an old plantation house maybe?

I'm just here to help.


Lillith, only Haggis knows where we'll end up. You should ask him if he's open to suggestions. Personally, I like underground lairs. Castles, too. And I've always wanted a tower.

Castles provide the chance for underground areas as well as above ground opprotunities.

How about some place tropical?


Surely those must need haunting, too.

I'm sick of mosquitoes right now. Let's avoid tropical if we can.

What about tropical, underwater laboratory? Where we could safely release our monstrosities in relative obscurity without being noticed. Then we have warm, tropical, and no mosquito's.

That works...with freakin' sharks with freakin' lazers on their freakin' heads!

I like the sounds of that.


Well, the underwater part. The sharks with lasers underwater seems like a bad combo if we all want to stay dry.

And breathing.

Well, crap, EB, that's a whole lot of work. Sounds interesting, though, which beats a ton of boring work.

So no swamp? I was so looking forward to a swamp.

The castle or house could be located in a swamp.
