Christmas Event and News About the Recent Outage

by WotS Admin Team on 12/22/2023 13:10  

This year's Christmas challenge is based on the Victorian tradition of telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve. The time should be Christmas eve of whatever year works best for the story, but the ghost story teller can be anyone, or even characters taking turns. You can make up a completely original ghost story, have it be a retelling of something the characters went through (an original adventure of your creation, or an interesting new look at something from canon), or can be one of the characters telling one of your favorite ghost stories. Because of the site outage, this challenge is going to be open until February 1st.

Speaking of the outage, we'll take a moment to explain what happened. West of the Storm is not hosted on a private service. We pay for service space through a public commercial host, and that hosting service was hit with a major DDOS attack right afteer Thanksgiving, taking down all of their hosted sites. So it wasn't an attack against West of the Storm itself.
