Across the River Styx

For those of you that don't know, Cipher is a fanfiction archive that focuses heavily on Harry Potter, but also adores seeing other fandoms grace its loving walls. It carries a variety of styles and stories, but they all have one thing in common: quality. It is a validated site, which tries to insure that the highest of standards are met in the acceptance and publication of the posted fiction. Furthermore, it is one of the few archive sites that carries stores that are either gen or of any ship, be they slash or het. This is extremely rare in a validated site.

The forum has many FAQS and Guidelines to help achieve progress in writing fanfiction, as well as original fiction, or simply allows you to play amongst other writers who appreciate the written word as much as most authors do.

Of course, if you read either the Cipher intro, or the asylum user info, you would know all this. So, really, I am being redundant. I simply wanted to say hello, and welcome to the loony bin, where you can find the news updates to some of the best fiction on the net. *grin*

For the Friends of Cipher's October Birthdays, there have been prompts and ficlets posted in the Forum under the Festival hall. 

anaquana received two darling ficlets from roma_fics and scully (I was a slack-ass, and often as I told myself "better late than never" I just didn't seem to follow through. I am such a Bad Ky. I should be beaten with a wet noodle... actually, I did that while preparing my lunch, but that is better left for a post in one of my favorite threads, Not the Brightest Bulb)

However, hopefully, I will be a Good Ky with the prompts given for JKP's b-day fics. (Excuse me, better known in this community as the lovely shalanar!)

For her birthday, shalanar has asked for the following:

1. Fandom... or Um... original fandom
2. Ship, if any, Lucius/Severus
3. Prompt words, or scenario, "Did you really think you could get away with it?", "Yes, Master", and.... um... chains.

Of course, I could have just made this simple, and posted the link to the October Birthday thread, which can be found here, but where's the fun in that. *grin*
