Here is a plot for anyone to try :)

A ship manned by crew of feared ninja pirates on a mission to harvest as much ear wax as they could from the giant northern Sealing, a creature much like seals found on Earth but larger than a sperm whale, before it woke from the deep sleep of its annual summer hibernation.
They receive a message by carrier pigeon stating they must return with haste as strange creatures have invaded, with the lower half of a spider and a upper torso of not a man but a dead man. While the strange zombie spider creatures have not openly attacked the population, they have aggressively defended themselves as they pilfered all the vegetables out of the royal garden, including the king’s Cabbage.

Back in the 1970(s) there was a science fiction TV series called Starlost and college students played a game called Dungeons and Dragons...

I went to a gamming convention (primarily to play miniatures and board games). Occasionally, I would play D&D. I couldn't find enough players for any of the board games I brought, but there was a pool of "night People" (it was well after midnight) willing to play a game of D&D. I was the only one with a dungeon, so I became the Dungeon Master. Instead of my regular Dungeon, I tried an experimental "Dungeon" (based on the Starlost TV Show).

It was very difficult to avoid "slipping up" or "losing it" (LMAO). After four (4) hours of play (I was very creative in my narrative!) these clueless brain dead zombies (the sun was about to rise!) had no clue they were in a space ship instead of in a medieval world. We finally quit at sunrise (I was exhausted and unable to continue) as I needed to get a few hours sleep, & get a shower before a 10:00 am Civ tournament.

I have begun to post a serial story for the September challenge. Unlike all of the other submissions, my serial is a horror murder/mystery story instead of the silly humorous (and entertaining) stories posted by others.

I have two (2) small problems regarding my chapters, can anyone help me on this?

First, I don't know how to set the chapters up so that each chapter (at the bottom) links to the prior and the next chapter. Each chapter is being input directly through the create content fiction menu using a cell phone. Each chapter is being manually input (using my cell phone) vice being uploaded.

The first chapter was created under the author "Josette Du Pres New Author". All of the remaining chapters are or will be under the author "Josette Du Pres".

Secondly, the story is set on a fictional steamship in 1917. I called the ship SS ERIN (since she was the inspiration for the story). Should I say nothing about this, try to issue an apology, or try to find a place to hide???
