Today is National Frankenstein Day! The novel Frankenstein was written by Mary Shelley, who not only created a masterpiece and revolutionized a literary genre, but did it at 18. No Musings rejection letters for her!Frankenstein was one of O'Neill's "moral book" options in "Write Where It Hurts," and the novel was also used as a theme in The Angst Guy's Darius and A Hard Days' Night.
Richard Lobinske also wrote about Frankenstein in A Legend of Rebirth, but it's not the one you might expect. Read the fic to find out more!
In addition, this day in 1929 was "Black Tuesday," the point when the stock market completely collapsed and the Great Depression began. Good thing we don't have to worry about that kind of thing these days. Cough.
Speaking of crashes, the PPMB is still down, but you can get updates at Site5 or the SFMB.

The main restore is complete and the PPMB main page is back, but the database still needs work, so no posting of new material yet.
From Site5:
Unfortunately, after bringing the server back online we've found that InnoDB databases are experiencing issues. We're currently working on restoring these from a backup in order to get them back up and running. All other services, and all other databases which do not make use of the InnoDB format are currently working.
We'll update this thread accordingly regarding the restore of the InnoDB databases. This process is a much smaller restore than the last one and should complete much faster.
We're back!
