Greetings, Users. Our system may be experiencing some residual glitches from a recent network malfunction. Our technical team is working on getting these issues under control. Please direct any concerns in the meantime to the HR department at humanresources@retrospec.com. Our staff has furthermore noticed a significant increase in tags and trends for #aprilfools and #pranks. Keep on your toes and be certain to tag your best tricks for Retrospec™! Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. Any emails sent to the HR department will be returned with a failure to send notification, and will furthermore automatically be posted to the Retrospec network. Oops? Characters who have been in game for one month will find they can now change their profile pictures. Glitches will be in effect until the 15th and may include: -Usernames changing to a cat, dog, or bird pun. -The Retrospec application being changed into a neon color + animal theme of some variety. -Notifications going off at random and being unable to be turned off. -Various "special effects" crossing the screens when people comment. -Users having to beat a level of pac-man to access the application, and then being made to beat a new level every hour to keep using the application. -Thomas the Tank Engine memes being sent to users every hour for some reason. -Profile pictures being replaced by pictures of rabbits and easter eggs. -New creepy pasta stories appearing upon log-in, to be forwarded to someone before the app can continue to be used -Parental lock and auto-correct on cursing (i.e. fuck -> duck) -A parade of pixel Chocobos or dancing fruit scrolling across the screen after each comment posted

everyone's a critic

I don't know, trying to avoid some of the more hamfisted horror elements
and maybe be a little more topical
but, hey, if it makes me do another one, I'll just copy and paste Ben Drowned

[Though he really just hopes the app doesn't make him draft another one, especially if it forces him to forward it again. (Which it probably would.)]

kind of
this story was on my app when I opened it up and it wouldn't let me log on until I shared it
but, well, believe it or not but it was even shippier in its original form, so I reworded it a bit and changed some things
*shippier

[ creepypasta shipfic?? incredible. ]

I'm trying to say it was crap

[Though, honestly, it probably could've been improved more if it was actually shippy.]

[hjack69]
