BOO! You can send your fellow MeChazens a spooky and anonymous Halloween greeting... (Now it's your turn.)

This is one of my favorite parts of Halloween. :)

Hurray, I'm in!

Can we add a little more info about this on the front page? I feel like people might miss it, it's a little vague....

Good idea Teeps... done

It'd be nice if the sidebar images linked to it, too. ;)

These are indeed most fun.

YAY!

I do rather like these more than the Valentines.

GOODIE!!!! I love these!

I'd like to know how to dress up as a black cat for Hallowe'en. Would dyes or a fur suit be a better idea, and if I should use dyes, will they wash out the next day?

Oh, and if anyone wants to wish me a happy fifth birthday/happy second anniversary of living at Swans' End (which was yesterday), they might send me a greeting. Treats are also welcome.

I always love these but I am so tired and brain dead right now. How long will they be active?

Thank you chrismear, I really appreciate you doing this for us.

It's not letting me update my profile with the code. :(

(Sorry about the vague original post!)

Frights will be open until midnight GMT at the end of 1 November.

THE ANONYMOUS MESSAGES ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

lysdexic: Are you getting an error message of some kind?

posted by chrismear 31 October | 17:34

Yeah, something about an incorrect url when I try to save the profile.

posted by lysdexic 31 October | 17:36

Hey, it's working now! Yay! Thanks!

posted by lysdexic 31 October | 17:38

OMG, forgot all about this. YAY!

Whee!!

posted by jonathanstrange 31 October | 23:10

Yay, that was fun! More frights!

Great work Chris. I especially liked the lightening flash at the login page!
I know the idea is that it's anonymous. But it makes reciprocity a bit hard obviously.

Ooh, look, I received a Valentine in 2008, and a fright in 2009! I don't keep a close enough eye on these things, it would seem. Thanks to whoever sent them.

Agh, I possibly have a brief window later since I think my teacher is letting us bring notes to the exam (wtf? Is this normal?). I am still catching up on Halloween stuff. Stephen Fry had a lovely card and I want to catch last night's Craig Ferguson somewhere.
Oh, Halloween, you should last longer. Especially since people now think it's Christmas.

posted by ethylene 01 November | 08:22

If you did not get a fright, speak up! I didn't forget you on purpose!

posted by Eideteker 01 November | 09:56

Aigh! I have no time! I hope I get back in time. Grr, mumble, grr.

posted by ethylene 01 November | 16:30

I got more frights than the person.

posted by Trilby 01 November | 17:08

Notes on a test, I feel duped into a false sense of security. What is the point of notes if that's not what's on the test? My god, this guy drives me nuts.

And now to kill you all.

posted by ethylene 01 November | 18:39

If you don't capitalize, do they not get through? Have I been sending frights and valentines that never get received?

posted by ethylene 01 November | 18:40

Ooh, either the clocks early or the satellites are wrong.
Damn, so little damage done.
Check your frights, peoples!
