For the rest of December through the end of January (remember to start writing 2009!) we're giving anyone who upgrades their account to gold membership level the option to choose one postcard level member to upgrade to basic for the same duration.

Top it off by winning the current contest and add an extra 3 months to your new gold membership!

Contact Velvet_Raventon with any questions and to tell her which lucky member you're giving a boost to!

Hi everyone,

Please go to your account update page and update your e-mail address and anything else that has changed. You need to have accurate and up to date information in order to reset passwords etc.

Thanks, Velvet_Raventon.
