If I seem to be MIA, its because there has been a death in my family. Sadly, my three nephews lost their father today.

Congrats to War and Peace for becoming a part of Gluttony's modly community!!

Hold on to ya hats, people, cause its that time again.

The Sign Up Thread on Temperance, for the May Review-A-Thon, is now open.

The Review-A-Thon will start on May 1st at Midnight (Australian Eastern Standard Time) and run for 4 weeks, ending May 29 at 11:59pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time) - Check the little clocks on the main page of Gluttony and Temperance.

For the official rules, see the Sign Up Thread now. remember, to participate, you must be a member at both Gluttony and Temperance :)

 

Staff Needed:

Volunteer Basis Only, no money is paid.

Moderators - Positions 1

Moderators are open for all ages. The job requires that you moderate the forums (which are dead anyway ;) ) and Gluttony. Basically you need to randomly select stories and do a quick scan that banners are the correct size and that content is appropriate.

You can dedicate as much time or as little time as you like, again, Gluttony is small and fairly easy to manage, however, extra hands is always great to have ;)

If you think you are interested then please email me at: admin[at]gluttonyfiction[dot]com

Closing the archive for a software update. Will open again shortly :)

Update is complete. I'm fixing the Mods that were over-written in the update, so some site weirdness might happen. If any serious bugs happen, just let me know :)

Added: A New Skin. Have fun with the Scribble skin!!

Temperance is open once again. New rules have been put into place, so if you DO venture over there, please familiarise yourself with the new rule.

The Forum is closed for a little while. It seems spammers moved in, which is exciting and unnerving at the same time. Its exciting, as its the most postings I've had in ages..LOL..Cause Temperance is dead, but also unnerving as these spammers could also plant viruses in their posts. All posts have been deleted and the 'user' removed and IP's blocked.

A reminder to everyone to NOT click on any suspicious looking links. I highly doubt any user was on Temperance to notice the spammers. So, how's that for excitement for the day??? :)

Hope you all had a great Easter and happy reading and writing to you all :)

Congratulations to Bella_Portia !! Bella is April's Featured Author of the Month. If you wish to congratulate her, you may do so here: Author thread.

User Blogs are now available on Temperance. If you have an account there, you may keep your readers updated on your stories, or use it as a general writers blog. No personal blogging, any personal information should be contained to general info about why you may or may not be able to update, if you are busy etc.

I'm sorry that its late, I'm very behind at the moment as the family has the cold/flu bug going around.

However, I have updated the March's Featured Story list. Congratulations to all who made it in this month :)

Easter is almost upon us and regardless if you celebrate it or not, I hope everyone has a happy and safe Easter.

With that in mind, I'll be holding Gluttony's next Review-A-Thon either starting mid April or the start of May. So get your stories in, so we have plenty of stories to get reviewed.

As more details come to hand, I'll announce the start and open up a sign up thread on Temperance.

The prize will be a $20 Amazon gift voucher once again.

For those that celebrate it, I hope you all have a wonderful day :) Happy St. Pat's Day!!!

I'm very late, and I'm so sorry, but I'm proud to announce that Holly Ilex is March's Featured Author.

Holly had made her presence known quite clearly since she joined Gluttony and most of you will have, at some point,gotten a wonderful review or 10 from her :) She is a wonderful member and I'm glad to have her here as part of our community.

If you wish to congratulate Holly, you may do so here: Forum Thread

The Riddle Comp is still happening. I'm so sorry for the delay, but I've been fighting with the forums to do what I want it to do..LOL...All shall be revealed soon though ;)

The Treasure Hunt is still happening :) I'm just having an argument with the forums!! LOL I'm sorry about the delay.

The stories that were entered for the writing competition are up and can be found here: Gluttony's Birthday Writing Competition 2009

Please be sure to vote for your favourite here: Vote For the best Birthday Story

I'm a bit late in my time, but Happy 1st Birthday to Gluttony.

I'll be posting the stories I have for the writing comp shortly and open the voting polls.

Also, keep your eyes open as we also celebrate Valentines Day. Two different treasure hunts will open soon as well. You will need to be signed up to the forums to play, so if you aren't a member there yet, join up so you can join in. It is okay if you are only signing up for the competitions, participation is up to you :)

With everything going on in the world, no-one could see this coming. Victoria, a state in Australia, has been, and still is, being attacked by the worst bush fires. The death toll is at around 130 and it is simply devastating to have to watch on TV, let alone to actually experience it.

To those affected by the bush fires, to the survivors and their families and for those we lost, you are in my thoughts and in my heart.

Show your support, Australia! All Spotlight Outlets are giving away free yellow ribbons for you to show your support.

Only 2 days left and I only have 1 entry? The winner will be easy to choose! If you want to enter, check out the forums now and get cracking!!

Congratulations to Apollyon!!

Apollyon is a rather quiet member, but someone who is always sharing with us here.So a huge thank you goes out to you, and congratulations.

The first of the Birthday Competitions is now open. Please see here for details: Writing Competition

The Birthday Competitions begin tomorrow and go on throughout February. Remember, to join in on the fun, you should be signed up to the forums so you may read all about them and join in on the fun.

On the 1st of February, I'll be announcing the details of the Writing competition. Also, on the 14th, I'll be launching two different treasure hunts, so have your thinking caps ready :)

To participate, you must be signed up to the forums.

Hi everyone and welcome to our new members.

If I seem a little 'lost' or MIA, there are 2 very good reasons.

1. My 3 month old is still a bit ill with a cold - Nothing major, but just very fussy.

2. I'm preparing for Gluttony's First Birthday. Valentines Day this year will be very exciting. However, to execute my 'grand' plans...I actually have to do some work...lol..So I'm trying hard to work on it now.

If I can pull it off...There will be loads of fun to be had. I did have some great prizes lined up, but due to lack of $$, I may have to delay those prizes for another comp, but we'll see :)

I'll keep you posted at any rate!

February 14th will mark Gluttony's 1st birthday. To celebrate, I will be launching a few competitions to participate in. There will be a writers competition, with various categories and more....

Stay tuned for more information :)
