Tech Tuesday - Fancy Links

I created an announcement a few weeks ago asking people for topics they wanted to be covered here in more detail. You can find it here: One of those requests was how to we make the fancy links, like I use in my post signature to link to my story. It's really, really simple. Just copy the link in the url address bar and then paste the link to a story on the site into an editor, and it'll auto format for you. For example, I could paste a link to my Sci-Fi Anthology story, A Bad Day to Be

X-Men First Class

I loved the eyecandy on screen. Special effects and good looking actors. It was a good movie. Plenty of action and it tied logically into the existing X-men movies. This is definitely in my collection and staying there.

You've come along at the very beginning of... if this was Hollywood, they would call it a reboot.

Sprout by Dale Peck

I was going back through my list of books that I had bought over the years and this one sprang to mind. I think it is the cover that got me to read it. Teenager with greenhair just begs the question why. This is definitely a layered story. It has great character development and is interesting. I definitely found it worth the read.

Blog, you say? I posted new content!

Ever since I made my triumphant return, I've been promising new material "soon." Unless they've changed in the last few hours, I've never seen "soon' on a calendar. Well, today is "soon" enough for me. There's a catch: You've got to head over to https://imagine-magazine.org/releases/ There's a lot of great stuff there! I'd tell you to start at the top and work your way down, but I can't guarantee a certain one will stay at the top of the list. If you look at "Volume 38

Love?

On Valentine's day, the day when the world turns its mind to thoughts of love. Love. Such a small word, but means so much. I love my partner. I love my son. I love my friends and extended family. Heck I even love my ex-boyfriend and chocolate. But do I love the same? No. I love them all with the same intensity, but not the same way. Humans today get hung up and think only of the romantic meaning of the word love. We should never feel weird or ashamed to say that you lov

Updating Stories

Hi All! Recently, site staff has been reviewing stories on GA, and we’ve come across a few things that we need your help to fix! Missing/Incomplete Story Descriptions: A good example of missing/incomplete story descriptions can be found in many of the earlier anthologies. Many of these stories simply have a description of “2006 Summer Anthology”. Incomplete descriptions do nothing to engage readers or entice them to read your story. When updating the story description, keep in m

Tech Tuesday - Activity and Activity Stream

When we upgraded to the new software, we picked up a very powerful tool called the Activity Stream. The cool thing here is that it has not only built-in options, but you can create your own as well. We'll start with the most important two, right up front. First. All Activity. You can find it by going to the Activity option on the Main Menu and Selection the top option on the Sub-Menu, All Activity. This immediately shows you all the latest new content on the site. Yo

Well, it's the start of a new week, and for today's schedule, we're bringing you Puppilull's review of Shifter by skinnydragon. Featured story days are a great way to highlight one of the many stories that can be found in GA Stories. With so many stories, it's easy for a single story to get lost in the shuffle.

Spider-Man: Homecoming

So I finally got around to watching this. I shouldn't have waited so long. Oh... mmmm. Tom Holland. What an adorable Spider-Man he makes. What a great selling feature too, showing him in boxers. More than once. lol. Eye candy aside, both male and special effects, I also enjoyed the movie in general. It's really good to see Micheal Keaton back to acting again. He did a good job with a complex character. I'd definitely say this is worth having in your library. The 4k ver

Stalking Darkness and Traitor's Moon (Nightrunners 2 & 3)

Stalking Darkness is the conclusion of most of the threads set up in Luck in the Shadows. It picks up where the last book left off. Traitor's Moon moves in time a bit and covers the consequences of the first two books. If you liked the first book, you'll definitely want to complete these two books. Both of these books are good and have a nice emotional connection to them. (And the slow burn on the romance final pays off). There are further books in this series, but I found my in
