    Anthology Check-In!

    By Valkyrie

    Now that the Secret Author contest is behind us, it's time to focus on our next site event... the annual Anthology!  We have two themes this year - Horizons and Unspoken.  Which one is speaking to you?  Or are they both?  There's just about a month to go before the deadline to submit stories to me for the Proof Team to do their magic.  I've already had some stories come in, and I'm excited to see what else this anthology brings.  So, raise your hands... who's got something in the works for us?

Please take the time to enjoy it!  Length: 96,473 Description: Jett Anderson and Kyle Benton are starting to build a relationship. L

Weekly Wrap Up (Nov. 9 - Nov. 15)

😮  Ever wake up in the morning and see something and know you have to do something about it? No, I'm not referring to that, guys .  I did that this morning. I opened the fridge and I have to admit it was pretty bare. The thing is when you see your bare fridge, you probably going to notice it needs a really good cleaning! So there I am at 8 this morning with everything fitting onto one shelf, and pulling out the other 3 shelves, the two crispers and meat tray, and all the door pockets.

Featured Story: True As It Can Be by W_L

Happy 2nd Tuesday of the Month. I like when this happens; when the Review Team Members turn on themselves  Well, maybe not turn. Moreso write a review on each others.
