I loved that story, Kaz. Well done. Please let us know when it’s out.

@daedalus is right – we should definitely jeep this going. And if forum members get sometjing published it would be great if they could return and post a link after publication.

It is sad. And I’m with you, Squidge. I never expected it to just disappear for good with no concrete warning. I saved everything I needed to keep I think but there was so much collective history there. I’m glad so many cloudies have managed to find the Den. At least we can all stay in touch.

Heya, Baz! Welcome to The Den 😊

Congrats, Helen! 😀

Okay then. I’ll join in! Lots of you already know, and have already congratulated me (thank you!) – a story wot I rote came third in this year’s Bath Short Story Award – publication in the anthology later this year, I believe.
Well done, Daeds and Elle. (And all you others who are slow in coming forward!!!)

I think we all thought it’ll be OK, it’ll carry on but just get worse to access. Not that we’d wake up to find the whole lot gone…

Bloody brilliant!! We need to know all about it!

Well done L. I keep seeing your work popping up at various magazines and websites – always good.

Such a brilliant night and so chuffed for you, Helen. I really want to read your book based on what you read last night 👌👌💕💕
