The holidays can be hectic, crazy, wonderful times! I figured, why not show that off with a variety of short stories, from 1,852 words to 36,353 words. You may have read them before, or they might be new to you, but this is your chance to get into the spirit of the season through some great stories. Enjoy them now, and be ready for the Discussion day on Monday, December 28th. The authors have all agreed to pop in and respond to your questions and comments.

 

Katie's Sketchbook by AC Benus
Length: 36,353
Description: In many ways, Sloan Stevenson is a regular guy. A product of the modern world of Studio 54 and the 'do your own thing' attitude of the swinging 70s, he has his thoughts of independence shaken by meeting a great guy and his twelve-year-old daughter, Katie.
A reader said: Due to the way you painted the scenes it felt as if I had been there myself. I'm glad it was a Christmas you didn't forget either. ~ J.HunterDunn

 

Muscle Bear Santa by Carlos Hazday
Length: 2,513
Description: Is it really Santa in those red Speedos? A slightly gay, night-before-Christmas story.
A reader said: You had me grinning from beginning to end! ~ AlbertNothlit

 

Penguin's Christmas Gift by Valkyrie
Length: 1,852
Description: Sean thought that taking a cat sledding was nuts. At the end of the day, he was very glad he did.
A reader said: Such a sweet little story. ~ Suvitar

 

Rudolph's Tijuana Christmas by Mann Ramblings
Length: 5,599
Description: After being at the center of a scandal that ruins Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer has to find a new way in life. Will the streets of Las Vegas, a bar in Tijuana and a best selling book find him the happiness he so desperately needs?
A reader said: OH MY GOD?!?!? What in the hell did I just read? ~ Comicfan

 


Don't forget the Discussion day will take place on December 28th!

Sorry about that Carlos, I got it fixed.

 

You're welcome everyone. Thanks for writing stories I could feature for the season and agreeing to participate!

In the spirit of the season, the characters in Muscle Bear Santa asked their friends to make donations to the food bank in their city, instead of buying them presents. Each year at this time, I try to practice what I preach and make a contribution to Feeding America. This Holiday Season, to coincide with the CSR feature, I'm pledging to increase the amount of the donation I made last year by one dollar for every Like and/or review Muscle Bear Santa receives between now and the discussion day. The contribution will be made in honor of all Gay Authors' members.

 

So go ahead, read, like, and review. In the process, you might just be helping someone less fortunate enjoy a real meal!

What a wonderful idea, Carlos. I don't remember if I read this last year, but if I haven't, then you'll get a new 'like' and review from me.  :hug:

If you liked the chapter, you can now like the story itself, right?
