I suspect that Sir-Toby's provider updated PHP as a security measure without consulting him and broke the code. The get_magic_quotes_gpc function has been removed from version 8 of PHP. The Horsehockey site, which uses the Extend-a-story code, is working. I added an episode there.

I was trying to create an episode with the second option for the NEQ Episode 95146, which should generate PHP for episode 99448. It looks the Black Void has the same behavior. When I tried to create the page, I received this message: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function get_magic_...

I was not around when the first episode was published on February 9, 1999. I think that my first contribution came in October 2003. I found the site on one of the add-venture web rings. The Internet was very different back then. I have gotten a lot of enjoyment from the stories on this site over the...

I posted a new episode in the cafeteria episode. I had to keep it short as I need to get some sleep, but I had some ideas. Character backstory. Ulrike - Born 1987 (35-36 years old in 2023) in East Berlin. Well adapted to this new world in some ways. Familiar with stories of authoritarian regimes and...

It looks like we may have had a visitor write a new episode. I am not sure if he or she will read the forum postings, but if so, welcome. The episode advances the story and the writing is reasonably good, so I built on it. I hope that you stay and write more episodes. The story thread is fairly shor...

And a happy new year to JH, Sir-Toby, and all the authors.

I haven't run out of ideas or interest. Just haven't had sit down time. Maggie will get her hands on the alabaster jar, but getting out of the caves will be the challenge.

I hope to be able to continue writing episodes. I do have an idea for continuing this one. I think that I will choose the option where she cannot get past the guards. This will not be as bad for Maggie as it might first appear. I have some dialog to work out, so I don't know exactly how it will turn...

118065 and 118063 are episodes 12 and 13 for 2021. Resolution complete. In 118065, Maggie is more likely to try to exploit the chaos after the dragon's death to gain the trust of one of the factions in the cave, and then later gain the jar with that faction's help. The jar is difficult to find, and ...

11 of 12 done. I have not forgotten about this. I have two ideas for the Maggie/Belboz-Exotica story, and I may use both open choices. One choice leads to Maggie leaving the massage room, and searching the caves for the jar. The other choice is that Maggie stays behind and places herself into servic...

Doing OK here. I have already gotten the first of two vaccinations for COVID-19. Will be getting the next one in a couple of weeks. Not looking forward to going back into the office, honestly.

Number 9 of 12 completed. 118026 is an episode for which the "add other option" button is really useful. There are more possibilities than the two options that I added. The title makes explicit what happened, although Fred does not know within the story. Fred has hit part of the dragon's f...

And with 117969 I have written 8 of 12 that were in the resolution. A reader might fairly ask, what is the difference between the three options? All three are similar. I wondered what the nature of the dragon's skin was, and how Fred intended to use his sword to attack it. And whether Fred had enoug...

Accounting on the 2021 resolution: 6 episodes - 5 episodes in the "Fred and Maggie" story and one in the "Two Djinns" story as of February 19. Likely episode 7: I have been thinking about a follow-on to 117927 for a couple of days. I do not think that there will be a lot of actio...

Number 6: I added an episode to the djinn thread (117920, extension 117926). Velus was part of the earlier episodes, appearing last as a dog cowering in the market at 6669.
