    No more Secrets, right?

    By Aditus

    We know who wrote which story and won this year’s contest. Congratulations Gary L. And now? Watching the horizon thoughtfully and waiting for inspiration to strike? Or you could write a prompt story and maybe expand it…. PT Prompt #354 What if you could make objects talk? Heinrich Heine’s quill, for example. (I just saw it at a museum.) Which object would you choose, and what does it tell you?  PT Prompt #355 Five friends are playing a board game. After a while, they roll num

True As It Can Be Epilogue is Now Live- Author Notes

The Epilogue is now live, here are some notes: Thanks again for all the readers -Not everything is perfect in the world, good people have to continually struggle, but I wanted to leave a sense of progression -We met Mr. and Mrs. Brooks for the first time, they are very down-to-earth people with personal touches. I wanted them to act as foils to Gaston family -Gary Gaston isn't the only member of his family with a cruel streak, remember the sister I mentioned from Chapter 9, I

True As It Can Be Chapter 20 is Now Live- Author Notes

Chapter 20 is now live, here are some author's notes -I left a bunch of Easter eggs throughout the story, the lack of cameras at handicapped entrances, the trip to New Hampshire, and so on. Well, it all pays off in the chapter -Some readers will be asking, "Cats? Why are they torturing cats?", there was a few news articles about college kid torturing cats and I saw the Netflix documentary "Don't Mess with Cats", so I went there. Also, it is quite true that cats are killed by pounds, es

Author Guess Who #15

No, this feature did not die, though I'm sure it seems like it!  Life kind of got in the way, but here's the next site author for you to guess!!!  You'll have approximately two weeks to guess the author and then we'll reveal who it was!

The Hazards of Love

There's this album by "The Decemberists", and it's called The Hazards of Love. The first time I heard it, I didn't know it was an epic. It's a story, and it's told from song one to seventeen, in order. The title fits as well as a tailored glove. It's not all good, and it even ends in ... well, nevermind. I'll let you listen to find out. Regardless, a couple of days ago, I had this scene slam into my head. If you want to read the unedited, raw scene, it's here. In it, we watch someone s

So Thursday was the first of many big weeks here at GA! Did you get excited about the start of releasing of the Fall 2021  Anthologies

True As It Can Be Chapter 19 is Now Live- Author Notes

Chapter 19 is now live, here are some author's notes -Well, Sammy turned out to be very helpful. In addition to being an upperclassman, barista, and bartender at night, he's got an unique background. -I got the inspiration for this scene at Keller Hall from a combination of real-world events. A concept from the "January 6th" insurrection/riot in Washington DC was logistically how I organized the mob and invasion force within Chapter 19. The most violent groups relied on non-aligned gro
