Welcome

Welcome to Gluttony! This archive is designed to host Harry Potter Fan Fiction, Original Fiction, Original Poetry Collections, Drabbles and RPG Fan Fiction. With the MANY sites out there, this will hopefully become a place where you can relax with a cuppa and read some really fantastic stories.

If you decide to sign up and submit your own stories, please pay attention to the TOS and Site rules. If you are here just to read, please be aware of the warnings and ratings of the stories. These are put in place so you know what kind of content that you will be reading.

Gluttony's Vision

Gluttony was created with the intention to share your stories. With the many different story archives online, we hope to become a place where you can host your stories in hopes of reaching a new audience. We encourage you to browse or post stories here and with other sites. You do not have to be here exclusivly and have the freedom to come and go as you please. While it is not a requirement, we hope that Author's do check back to see if they have any new reviews and respond to their readers and hope that those that are just here to read, will leave a note to the Author about their story.

Most of all, I hope you all have fun :)

The Best Of

This is a site where you can nominate the best stories you know of, to win awards. Although archives might run their own award system, it's also nice when a story is recognised by other sites and the Author can celebrate the fact their stories are thought to be the best of the best. So head on over and nominate for your favourite story now!

MD Web Hosting is my wonderful hosting company. If you are after hosting plans with Australian dedicated servers or any other hosting needs, please have a look at what MD have to offer!

SAYS is a forum that is dedicated to improving your writing skills and is Harry Potter Fan Fiction based, but also helps with Original Fiction and Poetry. I have spent many hours on this site, finding inspiration and meeting new friends. A must see for writing enthusiasts. Image by Infairi.

Pandora's Journal is a new archive that hosts stories of various fan doms, as well as Original Fiction. Definitely a place to go to share your stories and maybe even read something new and exciting.

Pandora's Closet is a place to go for all your graphical needs. From story banner's, signature graphics to page layouts. Also a place to learn how to refine your own graphical skills and discuss/get help with what you need.
Elderly Harry Potter Fans

Please don't be fooled by the name. Elderly Harry Potter Fans or EHPF, is a forum dedicated to the 'older' fans of Harry Potter. The forum only accepts people aged 18 years and older and is a very welcoming place to be. This is a place to have a great debate/discussion about Harry Potter and meet mature, like minded people. This forum is small in numbers, but already has established a great little online community and is expanding every day. Please don't hesitate to pop on over and say G'day!
Life Imitating Art RPG

Life Imitating Art or LIA is a text based RPG. It is a sister site of Gluttony and is a good place to help writers with OC's (Original Characters). While the world of LIA may not be where you see your OC being in, it can also help you develop your character and give him/her a personality. Don't be afraid to pop on over there and if RPGing is your thing, perhaps you'll have a new place to call home too.

Circle of Crones is a Story Archive for those 18 years and over. This is a place for the more mature minded to meet, discuss and share their stories. This site is run by lovely people and I highly recommend a visit there.

Featured Stories and NaNoWriMo

My apologies go out to you all on my delay in getting the featured stories updated. Baby No. 3 was born on the 11th, and we're still trying to settle in at home :) While I'm doing that, I'll get around to a few of your author pages to read :)

Also people, don't forget that NaNoWriMo begins November 1. I'll be participating in this and don't forget to check the forums if you need anything during this time, if you are participating. Help and support will be there!!

Updates

Okay, all updates I have, have been restored. The last back-up I did was on the 27th of September at 11:50am, my time (standard Australian Eastern Time).

If there is anything else missing, I apologise. the official word from my server is this:

"Sorry for the inconvenience caused. There was a network conflict issue in the DC and this caused the rollback in the server. So kindly restore in from your your local backup. Replace the current public_html with your backup. Give a try and get back to us if you need further assistance on this issue."

Everything I have from the above date and time is back working normally. Again, if anything else is missing, I apologise.

Another Glitch

I apologise, I don't know what happened. Some how, my sites rolled back to an older version of itself. Possibly done server side. I have just restored a back up that I made just this morning, so if anything is missing, I am so very sorry.

All I can ask is that you re-submit chapters and hopefully it won't happen again. I'll keep making regular back-ups in case this happens again.

EDIT: Grrrr...Okay, bear with me as I figure out what is going on. I have contacted my host server but either way, I'm working on it! Some reviews and previously submitted chapters may not work, although some story information is there. I'm trying to restore a back-up of my server files, but may need my actual server company to restore this back up.

Please bear with me as I try and resolve this glitch!

Recent Down Time

I apologise to you all if you were trying to access the site. My server reset my account and accidently turned off my permissions to access MYSQL, which is needed to run both the archive and the forums.

Everything is working again and I have made back-ups of the files, just in case anything else goes wrong. We should be okay though :)
