There will be some maintenance on the BWR server on June 4th beginning around 11:00 pm. We've been told by the hosting company to expect 4-7 hours of downtime. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Just when you were wondering what we'd be reading this spring! There will be another Support Stacie Author Auction April 3-6. This will be a multi-fandom auction, just like the holiday and September auctions. There is even talk of another author chat-a-thon to coincide with the auction, so watch for more information!

If you are an author and you would like to participate in the auction, please go to Support Stacie for the sign up form. Information for bidders can also be found at that site.

If you have friends that write for GG or any other fandom, encourage them to sign up too!

A Fanfic-On-Demand fundraiser is in the works for friends of Stacie. The gist of the project is that authors in any fandom are invited to write a short fic on demand. The highest bidder gets to deliver the fic challenge to the author they’ve “won,” along with the story’s pairing, the rating, and other pertinent details (within reason and within the author’s stated fandom and limitations - i.e., some authors prefer not to write smut). The author will be given up to 30 days to finish the fic, beginning with the day that payment is received. Details are on supportstacie.net If you are interested in being one of the authors, please check out the site and submit the author form! This will be a fun project designed to challenge the author and entertain their fans while raising money for a great cause.

We've been having some problems with outgoing emails from BWR showing up blank. In order to assist us in tracking down the problem, it would be really helpful if you could let us know when you receive blank emails. Just reply to any blank emails and let us know your penname and anything you can about the circumstances of the email. Thanks so much for the help!

Some crazy fans are organizing a series of chats with GG writers beginning Thursday, May 22 and continuing through Saturday, May 24. To find out more and join in the fun check out the LJ community here.

I got an e-mail from an author letting me know that they were getting some weird/spammy reviews. Basically, it's all gibberish with links to porn sites. If you've noticed anything weird like that in your reviews, or more importantly in your stories, please let me know by responding here or e-mailing me at admin[at]gilmore-fiction[dot]net. Be sure to include a link to your story/review.

As always, don't follow any strange links if you see them. I don't think we've been hacked, but I wanto make sure I know what's going on.
