All stories should be back

Database repairs done.

All stories should be back in place.

I got the first notice something was wrong at 2:45 pm my time. I was at lunch and got the note on my phone as I walked in the door here.

Piper was unavailable, so I tried to fix it myself and had things back up by 3:10.

At the current time, there are no mods but ME. And occasionally, I do something else for a while.

Like now. I think I will take a nap. I got up at 430 after going to bed at 1215 last night.

Hugs,
Erin

Computer troubles

My nine-year-old iMac is dying by inches. I will need to get a new computer soon.

I'm thinking of moving away from Mac, even though I love them.

My brother is looking for a desktop computer that will be good for my purposes and not break my budget, but suggestions are welcome. I already have a good PC laptop which I'm going to spend today setting up as backup for Daisy here.

Hugs,
Erin

Fires in SoCal

Blog About:

The fires being reported in Southern California are not that near me. The closest is about 30 miles away on the other side of some mountains.

I have friends in those areas, but I checked on them just now, and they are okay.

Pete's Vagina -15- Holding

I managed to escape without going back through the boys’ locker room; the coaches’ corridor has its own entrance and exit. Megan was waiting for me looking crisp and cute in her denim capris and a tied top, Elly May Clampett-style.

I had to grin at her, and when I held my arm up, she snuggled under it. We kissed, just a peck because we were still on school grounds, but it felt nice. It was as it had been for a moment, but then she asked, “You haven’t forgotten, have you?”

“Huh?” My stomach dropped.

Hatbox In the hole again - please help

We're down to less than $300 in company accounts with some bills coming up.

And I personally am down to about $150 with my bills ahead of me.

Piper has $1100 in expense to keep her vehicles running which may hit on Thursday if a plan is not in place.

In a few days we start getting money coming in from our regular places but we are in a tight corner here.

Please, if you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hugs,
Erin, Piper, Cat, Amy, Jamie and the elves.

Unfinished

I have more than 200 unfinished stories clustering around me like tiny, empty, liquor bottles around the corpse of a destitute alcoholic.

Besides the stories I have started and not finished on this site and others, like The Pregnant Boy and 30 Million Reasons, and ones that I am still working on like Pete's Vagina and Special FX, I have scores hidden away on hard drives, many of them tantalizing, fragmentary visions of longer works.

Bit of a scare

Blog About: 

Author: 

Yesterday, in the early afternoon I started experiencing some things: trembling hands, upset stomach, racing heart. I went to urgent care finally and they sent me to the hospital ER.

Diagnosis for the moment is paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. I now have prescriptions to treat this and orders that I should see a cardiologist soonest.

I didn't get to bed till after two last night and I'm tired, but this may explain the rising number of times I've just been too tired to do much lately.

But I'm home and I mostly feel fine.

Love you all.

Hugs,
Erin

Accidental Romance by Melanie Brown on Kindle - text corrected and re-published

Well, it will be re-pubbed soon. Kindle sometimes takes a day or two.

If you've already bought this book, Kindle should allow you to update your copy with the new text.

If you haven't bought it yet, now's your chance! Uh, well, wait till tomorrow morning probably is best. There were only a few typos we fixed, so if you are okay with that go ahead. :)

Hugs,
Erin

Mini-vacation

Blog About: 

Author: 

I'm taking a few days off to go see some of the desert museums and chill before it gets too hot to make such a trip.

I'll be gone Thu and Fri, probably recuperating Sat and Sun but I will have my phone and laptop with me.

Try not to set the place on fire. :)

Hugs,
Erin

And we're back!

Author: 

Thanks to Piper's heroic efforts, BCTS is back online. We're getting so much traffic right now that things are acting a little quirky but it looks like that is clearing up as the buffers and caches fill up to take up the excess load. :)

Welcome back!

Hugs,
Erin, Piper, Cat, Jamie and Amy

Sometime today, Mar 29, site will be down for an hour

Author: 

Sometime today, probably in the evening Eastern Time, our servers will be unplugged and the rack they are in will be moved to a new location in the server farm before being plugged back in and rebooted.

Piper has been to the server farm these last two days to help ensure this goes smoothly, and we are not expecting to be down for more than an hour.

Don't Panic. :)

This has been planned for months, but is part of the reason we wanted to be sure we had money in the bank, right now, in case Piper had to stay overnight or something.
