Those pesty 504 and 504 errors
Site Update
Not really use to make site announcements, so forgive me if I do anything wrong.
We are aware of these site errors and are currently in the process of finding out what exactly happened so we put a fix to it and ensure it doesn't happen again. If the site happens to go down again, just give it a few minutes before trying to jump back on. Chance are it will be me doing some back end work on the site.
Also, if you encounter any other problems that may have been occurred with the downtime, feel free to let me know.

Art Gallery!
Contests
The art gallery has been judged!
The theme was Spooky Pets and we received a ton of wonderfully creepy entries!
Here are our featured winners:
Congratulations!
They won:
The current theme is Haunted Landscapes.
You do not have to feature the Spooky Forest, and in fact, I encourage you to do a haunted version of one of the other areas (Fields, Enchanted Forest, etc.)! You may use any medium you wish. :3
ArosFair (#28369) has been added to the SCC artists page!
If you were a winner for Revamp Kings (artist or custom recipient) and have NOT been contacted about your prize or revamped custom yet, please PM me. :) Thanks!

Saturday Mishmosh
Site Update
The story game has been judged!
Winner: Rudy(#4485)
Prize: Raw Blue Crystal
Sennara has informed me that there are about 2 weeks left in the current story,
then things should start wrapping up!
Want a shot at seeing one of YOUR customs turned into plush form for free?
Then come on down to Kagemi's Plush Thread and enter your favorite pet(s) for a chance!
It seems that a new batch of pets has infested the Spooky Forest!
Famine's Potion Brewing and/or Frankenstein's Lab will be opening around Monday, so make sure you're swinging by the garden and gathering goodies from the forest!
Famine's Feast will be airing out its dusty old interior soon, so if you have any leftover orbs from last year, make sure you spend them by Friday October 19th at 11:59 p.m.!
Psst, we didn't forget about breeding season. Our pet artist is working on bringing popular hybrid concepts to life, so you'll see who two of the winners were when the new pets are ready to go. :3

GCC Deal Reminders
Items
Some reminders about the Gold Custom Crystal deal (if you're not sure what that is, it allows you to request a design for a pet along with the purchase of a GCC through the GP Shop):
- Please stop putting copyrighted content as your keyword. You shouldn't put the name of a fictional character, a video game, a movie, or anything like that as your keyword.
- While I'm generally lenient about 2-3 word keywords, some people are pushing these boundaries. Something like "tropical paradise" or "female white tiger" is acceptable but keywords like "long black scene hair, wearing a scarf with ocean markings and blue eyes" is too descriptive.
- Please try to put a variety of artists in either the suggested area or non-suggested area so I can get an idea of the kind of style you like. Don't put one or two artists in "suggested" and list "everyone else" as non-suggested.
Thanks!

How does your garden grow?
Site Update
It seems that Ay and Ara's newfound fertility has helped a witch's garden grow.
Every 15 minutes you will be able to harvest a plant--if you dare take something from the greenhouse witch.
You will receive one of ten possible plants of varying rarities.
This year you don't have to worry about catching a restock or grabbing a plant before someone else, just swing by and hope the garden keeper doesn't see you!
These plants (and your Spooky Forest gatherables) will be used in a variety of features that will be opening one by one as Halloween draws nearer...
(If you want a sneak peek, take a look!)
I will give you plenty of warning and instructions before the features are up and running. :3

Congratulations!
Next week's winner will receive a Custom Item Package!
Did you see the Phoenix Tree got a little makeover?
Well, okay, it still looks the same, but it must've loved those items from the Ay vs. Ara event, because it's giving you a new option when you hatch an egg. Try it out, you'll see what I mean. :3 (Oh, and if you don't have an egg, play the Trivia. *wink*)
All better!

Character Development Contest
Comics
Do you happen to have a few hundred loud, babbling characters around your head? Ever actually wanted to hug them and let them squish? How about just leave them on a shelf to stare down at you? Well, we have a contest for you!
Here's what you have to do:
Create a profile for a character that belongs to you and post it in the event thread. The character can be new or one that you've used before, but they have to have a distinct voice and personality. Winners will be chosen based on how well developed and how clear the voice of the character is.
The character you use must be an animal, or have a quad form provided for reference.
You will need to provide a visual reference for the character, however, this visual reference is not for judging but for the artist's reference for your prize. It can be done by you, or by someone else so long as they are credited.
Prize?
Five winners will be chosen to receive a custom plush from contracted artist, Gypmina. Some samples of her work can be found on her DA here.
End date?
This contest will end Tuesday, October 22 at 11:59 pm.
Entries go here!

Story Writing Contest
Contests
Each story contest will have a theme and basic rules, but other than that you can write in whatever way your heart desires! Unlike the Story Game, this contest empowers you to write on your own instead of relying on someone else's content.
Contest 1 Theme: Write a short story (1000-5000 words) about the events surrounding the "Please Return Fluffy" note.
If you don't know who Fluffy is, you need to spend some more time in Adventure. *wink*
Click to enter!
Deadline: Friday, October 19, 2012 @ 11:59 PM.
Good luck! I expect to see lots of our resident writers come out of the woodwork for this. :3
