Anyone know of local blood drives happening? The Red Cross website doesn't seem to be working to search for drives, but the US and Canada are under a severe blood shortage. Want to do my part!

For the indie/published authors out there!

Anyone else deal more with severe constipation issues than diarrhea? Despite eating the "right" things, it keeps happening.

Nothing against The Dark Tower or The Stand, they're just not my favorites. I've been a King fan for years and want to brainstorm a tattoo for the future. Something relatively simple.

My favorite King works are Salems Lot, Cujo, Tommyknockers, Revival, Cycle of the Werewolf, Desperation, and Under the Dome if that helps.

I cannot for the life of me figure out which book(s) these are, but in a 90's teal-cover Readers Digest Condensed Books edition there was one story about a man protecting two children who had witnessed a mob hit and were being hunted and another about a cop hunting down a drug smuggling ring using racehorses to move packages of cocaine.

Any help would be a huge relief, thanks so much!

For when you're just super busy or want something low effort, whats your favorite quick and easy dinner?

For me I thaw and then bake a salmon filet with some olive oil and cajun seasoning, make a batch of butter and herb pasta roni with added spinach, then toss in the cooked salmon with more Cajun seasoning. Easy and relatively healthy

As in, what type of characters do people associate with you? For me its a lot of tumblr sexyman bait and evil butches (Both made with incredible love)

There is so little that makes me want to read a book less than comps. It just sounds like you're reheating someone else's leftovers, I hate doing them because it makes ME sound like I'm ripping someone else off, even if the comps really were inspiration for the story. They aren't necessarily bad, but they give no context for anything. "Game of Thrones meets World War Z" Okay what parts of them? Does everything in the same genre as something popular have to be compared to that thing?

Just tell me what the story is about. Don't sell me a chicken sandwich by comparing it to a hamburger because they both have buns, you know?

My husband described this snack from his childhood and I'm struggling to find the name. According to him it was in a dunkaroos-style package with a marshmallow frosting, cookies/crackers, a stick for spreading frosting, and a chocolate bar.

Any leads or help is super appreciated!

Update: He clarified that this was definitely in the 90s and they were buying them at a military commissary on the base where they lived, if that helps

"It's a beautiful summer night, 1986. Thomas and Nicole are childhood friends attached at the hip in what might be the safest town in America, for humans. They could spend forever together; they may just, since Nicole's entire future is the family business of monster hunting and Thomas doesn't know what else to do with his life. 

But you can never rely on things to stay the same. On this particular night, something is tired of being hunted, and it has a message to send."

Hello! As said in the title, this is my debut novelette (previously indie published in Bashing Skulls: an Anthology of Queer Horror) and a story I've been working on for quite some time. If you want to check it out, I hope you enjoy it!
