March C S R Discussion Day: Crave by LitLover

Did you have a chance to read LitLover's scifi vampire novel, Crave? Maybe read it again if you were a fan when LitLover first posted the story? Hopefully you enjoy it and have lots of comments or questions ready to ask! But first, I have an interview with her to share... apparently she's never had to talk about herself that much! LOL What action would your name be if it was a verb? Hmm, well if my name were a verb it would be daydreaming. I’m always being accused of da

In The Dark

In the dark I'll be your light, When you’re weak I'll be your mite, When you’re blind I'll help you see, I'll be there if you need me too be. When you cry I'll wipe your tears, If you’re scared I'll rid your fears, I'll speak the truth-What you need to here, Look into my eyes-I'll be your mirror. When you’re lost I'll help you find your way, When were together it will be okay, When you call I'll be at your side, I’m always

Thoughts on Upgrade Bugs

I thought I would take the opportunity to explain some of these glitches and bugs we're all enjoying. First and foremost, the forum software version 4.0.0 was a complete rewrite from the ground up that converting our existing data to work in the version. This has happened before, because we started on version 1.1 back in 2003. That's years before Facebook, for you Millennial. This is a lot of baggage from issues over the years and things glitch. Indeed, we experienced a bunch of issues

Saturday Morning, This One Anyway

Some of you may know of my recent passion. Well Michael, writing, poetry- those are given, but this is about food and my latest and possibly most favourite gadget. Not sure if that is a fair name for this machine because it's amazed me from day one. Frankly it's a pressure cooker, a good one, and very safe one, invented or maybe reinvented by a Canadian. I like that, so i put it in here. I am talking about the Instant Pot. No I'm not a food blogger (okay, i am today) and I bought a

prompts Writing Prompts #566 & #567

And the prompts are BACK! With all the site upgrade stuff going on last week, we didn't do any prompts, but this week we're back on schedule and it's time for a couple new prompts from the prompt guru Comicfan. Just remember that to post in GA Stories, prompt responses under 1,000 words have to be posted as part of a collection. And don't forget to share a link to your prompt response in the appropriate forum thread so that it just might appear in next week's blog post.

Two Poems

Becoming Poets You and I, we have a strong bond Like brothers, like lovers; We disgust the world with our vain perversions, our inane attachment with the word and the seas of heresy part at our command revealing the shells of untruths hiding beneath the silt of social justice. Ecstasy beyond judgement is what we share in the binding fallacy of corporeal pain battling to win over the spirit. Our ascension begins at the alter of ego. Broken down

Sneak Peek - The Pack

Finding Each Other The air was warm and the moon was bright. Fifteen year old Aidan McKenna was laying in the grass with his pack, relaxing after a run. There was no better feeling in the world in the young shifter’s opinion. Taking a deep breath he savored the familiar scents that filled the air. The grass and dirt, the forest filled with animals. The personal scents of his closest pack mates and family. The fresh baked pie smell of his mother, the warm leather of his father. Aidan sat up

March's Classic Author Feature: In the Fishbowl by Dom Luka

This month's feature is a little different. With the upgrade, we didn't feature any reviews on Monday, but I've also changed up the format for the typical Signature Feature, since this month we're featuring a Classic Author. The fun part is that I had a site member nominate a classic author and story that they really wanted to share with others. Read on to find out why Valkyrie picked In the Fishbowl by Dom Luka, and how she decided on the excerpt to share! Valkyrie says

Writing POC

Over on Twitter, I follow some authors who are strong advocates of writing characters who are people of color. There are some strong opinions about this, and the general message I'm hearing is this: 1. There should be more characters who are people of color because (i) this is more representative of the real world (where not everyone is Caucasian), and (ii) readers who are people of color should be able to read stories about characters who look like them. 2. It is difficult fo

Anxiety

Girls with Anxiety I little diddy someone posted on facebook that really spoke to me. It was like that thing that I wish everyone understood and saw and thought when they see me. Like for those days when you just want to grab someone and shake them and yell at them, "can't you see how hard I'm trying!" Of course, same thing can be said about "boys with anxiety" i would like it best if it was "people with anxiety". But this will do. I work in retail

Logan- tu quoque mortale

I went to see Logan. What I expected was a bloody action gore-fest without a great deal of depth. What I saw was a bloody action gore-fest with much greater depth than I expected. This was Logan in his finest hour as we've never seen him. This is Dr. X and Wolverine as we've never seen them: old, alone and vulnerable. It is difficult to see them that way. I shall not give away any spoilers but these are not the invulnerable characters they once were. Old age has, as it will a

Yeah, Time To Grow Up

When I first got my current job teaching, I decided this was going to be an ultimatum year. I had decided that if I didn't like teaching at this new school within the first couple months, I was going to leave education for good and sell my soul to corporate America for a bigger paycheck. My college background isn't formally in education, but my work experience at various teaching/mentoring jobs before was enough to get me in the door to teach temporarily. I liked doing it, but wasn't really sure

But I have lots of teasers for it.

Often, she enlisted these groups to assist her in her plots
