Theme Prompt: #280 - Trick or Treat
Title: Mean Green
Fandom: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey (ft. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Little Shop of Horrors (1986)) - AU where Fawful doesn't explode during Bowser's Inside Story.
Rating/Warnings: PG
Bonus: Yes
Word Count: 933 words
Author's Note: This is based in part on old Tumblr RP stuff - a friend of mine from the M&L RP space really likes LSoH and this is in part inspired by that stuff! Also, because I wanted to do something lighter given my Fan Flashworks thing is kinda sad.
(PATCH NOTES: Now y'all see why I do NOT post so close to a work shift. Thank god I noticed this before I had to clock in! Title has been fixed.
Summary: Almost a full year passes since Fawful's last villainous stunt, and while he is initially stumped on what to do the following Halloween, his first adoptive parent's ghost gives him a particular idea from past the stars and beyond the moon..

Challenge 280:
TRICK OR TREAT

For some people, it’s a beloved childhood tradition, going door to door in costumes (sometimes elaborate, sometimes not) for candy. Other people take the “trick” part much more seriously, spending their Halloween playing pranks on friends, enemies, or anyone who doesn’t provide the promised treat. And many other people didn’t grow up with the tradition at all, and find the whole thing a little strange.

Did your characters trick-or-treat? Would they, if they had the opportunity? Are they in it for the candy, the tricks, or both?

Write a story about a trick – or a treat.

BONUS GOAL: Meow!

If your submission features a cat (or more than one), it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, November 3 at 9:00PM EST.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

Challenge 279:
HAUNTED LIBRARY

Books as far as the eye can see, neatly maintained shelves with just the occasional hint of dust, the gentle murmur of whispered conversation. It’s a good place to do some research, a little light reading, or just some relaxing – quiet, peaceful, pleasant.

Maybe a little bit too quiet. Those conversations should be audible, but somehow they’re always just a little too low to hear. There’s a few lights burned out, but some of the shadows are just a little too deep, just a little too impenetrable. And – hey, didn’t the library close twenty minutes ago?

Write a story about a haunted library.

BONUS GOAL: Bats in the Belfry

If your submission features bats, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, October 27 at 9:00PM EST.

It is once again mini-amnesty time! Toss your Dark Forest fills (and just for fun, let's say any fills for other #270-anything prompts) at the community until Wednesday at 9pm, or whenever after that your friendly neighborhood mod has a chance to get the new challenge up.

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.
