Today is Thursday, October 1st, which means the posting engine posted the first Yowler story today.  For some reason, I was fixated on the idea that Friday was October 1st.  Ah, well, it’s really nice to see that the story engine worked as advertised (although there was a bug in the display handler for the index page, but that’s been fixed). Maybe I should put it up on Github.

Whaddya think of my idea for giving away all the backstory using a faux-Wikipedia look?  In case anyone’s curious.

Here’s the link: Black Tattoo.

The first things that jumped to mind was...

Citation needed! :)

That's about the only thing the Bastet entry is missing, the small and almost unnoticeable links to the references at the bottom of the page.

Other than that, it looks good. I haven't had a chance to read the story yet, but will later.

Ooooh. Sternberg's Erotic/Domestic Fantasy writing strikes again! Come for the hot catboy/catgirl sex. Stay for the cozy living happily ever after, with kids.

Yeah, I picked that story because it had both MM and MF, and a happy ending. You just wait: Ohio Stray is a MM story with a rather unhappy ending, and then there's a story I wrote Just For You.

Well, not exactly. I asked my random name generator for a "generic male American name," and it kicked out yours. I kept it.

Great. You and Laurell K. Hamilton. Why don't I ever star in non-sexually-explicit fiction?

I could take the sex scene out and re-write the ending. Then we'd just be left with an emotionally nasty beating.

Now I'm curious. Make sure to email me or something when you publish.

In Internet explorer the text is black on a black background.

FYI.

Bleah. I've fixed it for IE7 and up, but I'm not going to support IE6.

Great story, I just noticed a minor inconsistency:

Black Tattoo says that there are less than 1000 Bastet on the entire continent of Australia, but the "Wiki" page says that there are approx. 64,000 in Australia.

Just an FYI.

The Wiki page is for 2009. The story is set in 1947. I can see where that would look inconsistent, but it's not.
