Welcome back to another quirky question and answer session with your favorite authors!

In AtA #10, we had questions for authors Iarwain, James Savik, and Mark92.

In AtA #11, we hear from authors Adam Thomas, Ieshwar, Krista, and forum fiend methodwriter85.

For their protection, the members who asked these questions shall remain nameless (unless they choose to reveal themselves). Please note that all author replies are copied as is, spelling errors and grammar eccentricities original to the individual.

Today’s first author is Adam Thomas, but he chooses to be known on the site as an Editor first and author second. From the eastern side of the U.S., Adam leads a busy life, but still finds time to follow soccer and politics, and to poke around the forums here on GA. You can check out his gallery for pics of the mountains where he lives, and stop by his story, And the Rain Falls, to leave him some feedback. Let’s help him get unstuck with a little encouragement!

Today’s next author is Ieshwar. (and btw, that’s an “i” at the beginning -- I wonder how it’s pronounced?) 2013 will mark Ieshwar’s 7^th year with GA and in all this time he’s finished high school and gone on to college, traveled to new and exciting places, and learned how to use his gaydar. He has also posted almost two dozen stories and poems across a variety of genres, such as the creepy horror story Hunter and the sweet 2009 anthology story Alkier.

Today’s final author is Hosted Author Krista. As “the Mean One,” Krista is one of the mods who has helped keep GA running the last few years; however, in 2013, Krista made a New Year’s resolution to write more and officially stepped down from many of her duties. I suppose I’m not the only one who will miss Krista smacking me around a little. With luck, it will all be worth it when she starts churning out more great stories! In truth, that’s not the only reason Krista backed off a bit, as she and her hubby have some new real-life responsibilities. They are learning to be parents with their brand new twins. Congratulations! Alas, there are no pictures yet, so you’ll have to haunt Krista’s blog for updates. Encouragement on the writing front should be directed to Standing in Shadows, where Krista has been keeping us readers dangling for nearly 3 years. C’mon, Krista, quit kissing those babies and write!

As a special feature in today’s post, say hello to MethodWriter. If you are active in the forums, chances are you’ve met him before. He’s also from the eastern coast of the U.S. where he enjoys the beach (isn’t it cold up there?). He’s also a big sports fan, as evident by the thread he posted for Funny Sport Reactions. Although not a “writer” per se, MethodWriter is a “manic poster” in the forums. He lurks and he posts and he keeps us all entertained.

That’s it for now! For more info on these authors, go check out their stories, post in their forums, and/or catch them in chat!

Coming next time: Cia, Riley Jericho, and Thomas Nealy.
