Comrades! I wish you a happiest Halloween!

It is a most special time of year, the time for the frightening and the phantasmic! with ghoulies and ghosties are running amok! Now is when we celebrate all that goes bump in the night!

Please, as we mingle in the megathread this week, lets offer to eachother tidbits to celebrate the season. Are you planning anything big for that special night? Do you have any traditions? Special plans or fun costumes? Got a ghost story to tell us? Let us know! Just don't doxx yourself, now that would be scary.

I for one will be handing out candy to trick or treatlers before attending a theme-appropriate dance party wearing a rather scandalous interpretation of a "bookish lesbian vampire".^[Fangs, glasses, faux leather tights, corset, bdsm harness, a very butch-coded red jacket and black high heel boots.]

Also here is the enby cat familiar if you wanted it (I thought I was clever with this)

A cat wearing witch hat that has yellow, white, and purple stripes, the cat is black, thereby completing the nonbinary pride flag

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

I’m going to start DIY soon but I live in the UK and most of the sites are outside of the UK. I’ve heard it’s possible that customs can confiscate the packages; can anyone alleviate my concerns about this?

    It's a thing. Some suppliers offer reships if you have proof of confiscation, it's worth checking before ordering. Unfortunately, some suppliers are known for brushing you off in those cases though. In my experience (outside of the UK, but not somewhere nice at all), the risk of seizure is minimal.

    It's unlikely customs confiscate you package, they might inspect it, but if the vendor packages and camouflages the stuff correctly, it's probably not going to get confiscated.
