Hi Fort Family!

As many of you may be unaware, on Thursday evening our service provider was one of many who experienced a complete outage that took our entire community down for a short period of time. I won't go into any details but we are not complaining about the speed in which this issue was addressed. The reason for this post is to request that any major site updates or important chapter postings should be postponed to allow for temporary fixes to receive permanent repairs. Where the work continues, I would consider all of our sites "Read Only" for a day or two. I will attempt a current backup as a "Just Incase" but, if we experience DNS issues resulting from the outage, new work could be lost.

So please join us in thanking those involved in such a speedy recovery but to be safe, do some reading and let your readers angrily stare at your newest cliffhanger one or two more days. 🤣

*HUGZ*

Anyone who has been around the Fort Family Community for more than a few years knows that we love our quirks. Sometimes the best memories come from our goofiest moments. In the beginning, some really funny moments became ingrained in our stories, our sites, and even in the community in general. Sometimes something we clowned about in chat one day, would become an actual "Thing" that we would work to keep alive. One such event was born in a late night Shack Outback chat as a goof, and the next day Comicality sent out an email making a declaration that we were all to celebrate a Random Cake Holiday. 16 years later, I see to it that email goes out again. I'm off to the store now to get mine ;)

*Random Cake Holiday* Emailed By Comicality!

That's right dammit! I said 'Random Cake Holiday'! Hehehe! Don't ask any questions, don't worry about the rhyme or reason WHY you should do it...just DO IT! We had a conversation in the chat tonight, and this lack of cake is just unforgivable. So today, Sunday, I want each and every single person reading this, to go out somewhere and find yourself a piece of cake to eat! I don't care HOW you get it, or WHAT kind of cake it is! But there are just way too many people who have gone TOO long without having a piece of cake!

You can laugh all you want! Feel silly doing it! I don't care! Whatever! Just go out, find some cake, and enjoy it for the simple fact that you CAN! And I'm not talking about some moldy old store bought sliver of cake that you can buy for a quarter at the counter of your local gas station! I mean actual *CAKE*! Go to a bakery, go to a neighbor's house, hit up the old lady that does volunteer work at the resource center in your area, bake your own and give half of it away to someone else who doesn't have cake, play your Cake cd on your car radio..whatever...but don't you DARE let the sun set without getting a taste of that sweet sweet cake goodness! C'mon...don't you want some CAKE??? I do!

The only time we get to have cake is at weddings, birthdays, Bar Mitzvahs, bachelor parties, and occassionally during some kinky sex fetish game with a stripper who doesn't mind getting covered in frosting. And that's just wrong! So if you needed a reason to eat cake, then here it is. It's cake day. GO! Get some! Enjoy it! Do it for the simple fact that you have absolutely NO reason to do it other than I told you so! Hehehe! Savor it! 

Shit....I'm going to get mine as soon as I get up tomorrow! Believe me! Mmmm cake...

Spread the word! 

And when you bite down into that soft delicious bread....you scream out to the world, "I've got CAKE bitches!!!!!!" 

I managed to get a chapter of another story ready to post within a month of the last one.  I know it's a shock to the system for me to update two stories in a month.  I'll try to slow back down after this again, I promise.  Enjoy the new chapter of Gifts as you recover, though.

The final chapter of Flea Market Sausage is now live on the sites and ready to be read.  I would like to say I never dreamed it would take me so many years to finish this story, but given that I have another story that I first started work on in 1987, I will leave that erroneous judgement call silent.   I can't say there will or won't be a sequel to this story at this point.  I had ideas, but they are not falling into place as I would like, so at this point it really is completely undecided.  Feel free to contact me and let me know your thoughts on this possibility if you have any to give me.  In the meantime, enjoy this final chapter of this segment of the story at any rate.
