Call it what?
"Fred"?
Or are we just going to feed it to the albatross, again?

Looks through a musty and ancient tome of Forbidden Names...

Nope, can't think of one diabolical enough, not even Pestulant Psostate would be nasty enough.

How about "Freddy the Pustulant Apostate"?

Well, you can call it Susan if you like.

The 24 hours are up, and the theme has been decided:

By a majority vote, as of Oct 16th, the theme is Things that Go Bump: Boogiemen, Shadow Fey and Long Legged Beasties.

We are now eagerly accepting submissions

Hopefully, this issue will be a great one.

Pity. Oh well, I'm sure I can think of something for that too. Something worth submitting hopefully.

Not quite; we only accept fiction on odd numbered days of the month, except on prime numbers, or those divisible by 3.

That is a line from a prayer/poem

It's a scottish prayer, though I thought it was three-legged beasties.

So you're only accepting true stories this month then? ;)

Well since the Ste. Ronges Gaz is a no-go I can think of at least one article to send in...

Question about submitting articles - What format must submissions be in? Must all submissions use 3.5 rules? I'm still playing under 3e rules, so I'm not all that familiar with all the changes made for version 3.5.

Actually, they said that all articles must be submitted with credit card numbers and or money orders.

Seriously though, if I recall correctly the official line on 3vs3.5 was adressed a while back, with the jist being submit in whatever version you prefer. Most submit in v3 simply because that's what most of us use.
