    2025 Anthology - Creature Feature - Guidelines

    By Valkyrie

    I'm super excited about this year's theme!  There are so many possibilities.... Do I go with a cute fluffy kitty?  Or maybe a fire-breathing dragon?  Or an army of Norse penguins fighting Canadian otters?   It's a good thing there's a lot of time before the deadline, although with my prowess at procrastinating, I probably won't start till the week it's due   The guidelines for this year's anthology are posted below.  So now that we know the theme and the parameters... start writing!

1St Half Of Through The Hooded Bridge

Here's some Author's Thoughts just a movie director's/actor's commentary on my newest story: Through the Hooded Bridge   Part I: Rites of the Fall   I think some people remember wild times, if they went to college. Parties, alcohol, drugs, sex, and just the freedom of the moment without a care in the world.   In this opening segment, which will tie back to the ending sequences in terms of logical progression, it is like the farewell hurrah for all the promises and joys before you enter a "

Second Chance Prompts #495 & #499

Hey Y'all! Well, I know that someone chose to use one of the last second chance prompts, but there is no link in the thread so that I can feature it. This week I'm once again just going to focus on two of the lonely prompts that nobody used (or at least shared). If you decide to tackle one of these prompts, make sure you share it in the thread.   Prompt 495 - Creative Mostly you wanted to stay home, but you won a vacation. Where was the trip to and how was it? Prompt 499 - Creative You going

I Missed Out On Progress

I guess I'm lucky enough to have been a child of the 90s and 2000s. I came of age right as the country's attitude toward homosexuality was undergoing a massive forward shift. Although I am still old enough to remember when gay men were portrayed as 2-d stereotypical characters with a total lack of depth or humanness. I grew up with a pretty negative image of gay men, and it contributed to a lot of self-hate, depression, and loathing that took a long time to get over.   A couple weeks ago, my b

Disconnecting

On October 30th, 2016, I will take the first true vacation from work I’ve had in five years. I specify it as a ‘true’ vacation because I became terribly sick during each of the times I’ve taken off prior to this one. I’m crossing my fingers that this doesn’t happen again.   I need a break, from work, from writing, from the internet; I need a break from everything, really. I need some time to reflect, for introspection and spiritual healing. Last year I heavily researched Samhain and discovered

Uk- A Pardon Without An Apology For Bigotry

This is not a political issue, it's not even an American issue, but it is something I do feel strongly about. When it comes to gay rights, I am far more progressive than anyone can guess.   At it's heart is the belief that a pardon for an unjust crime is the best way to move people and society forward from its dark ages of bigotry. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-gays-pardon-idUSKCN12K1BB I don't like the idea of a Pardon for a crime that was unjustly created against same sex relat

Desert Island Books

So I made a topic on this over in The Lounge, and asked people about their six Desert Island Books, the ones they couldn't live without. I wanted to keep my reply here too, for posterity, and because my top books have changed over recent years as I have re-found books from my past I am reading to my son. Here they are, in the order I first discovered them.   The Tale of Peter Rabbit - Beatrix Potter Who couldn't love Peter and his gorgeous blue coat? I don't quite know the whole off my heart,

Stories Update

Hey y'all It's been a while since I have been properly active on GA. I was not being able to talk to my GA friends. It is mostly because I don't have a computer for now. I used to share one with my mother but they moved to a different place the past month. I do miss having deep and light conversations with the people here and it's been a while since I have done any reading . But I am actually writing this blog to give an update on my stories.

October Signature Excerpt: Geeks By Cassie Q

Cassie Q's story, Geeks, was Monday's Signature Feature. Did you grab your copy of the signature banner so you can share your love for Cassie's story? If not, you can do that here! Today we're featuring her chosen excerpt.   Cassie says... I like the excerpt because really shows what kind of person Mikeal is like, how he has to think about things for a long time and how something as simple as a kiss can throw him for a loop. It shows how attracted he is to the other boy, even though he's afrai

Through The Hooded Bridge: What To Expect From My Halloween Story?

Just finished it today: 43 pages, 18K words, broken into 4 parts, and have several picture illustrations that I will upload into gallery as I am posting the mini-series.   Here's some facts:   1. It is a Sci-Fi, Horror, and at times critiques of modern human civilization, politics, and value systems. I also touched on areas of LGBT rights that might be a bit controversial. 2. I started writing this at the start of October in anticipation of Halloween, it was originally meant to be a 4K word

I’m back...and this blog entry is sponsored by “wingtip shoes” and candy apple cigarettes.   I could look this up but I’m a bit too much on the lazy side to figure out how long it’s been since I last posted a blog entry. But I’m sure it’s so long ago that even my one loyal reader has given up on checking my outdated blog and has disappeared into the ether. Unfortunately I am regulated to posting to those that have no idea who I am or realize the sheer boredom the next few minutes will bring

I Should Be Sleeping. Instead, I'm Planning My Future

I'm going to go back and get my Master's degree. I already have Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and Education, and a diploma in Adult Education. The MA in Political Science is a bit of unfinished business, one that I swore I'd go and finish up. It's been years since I wrote an academic essay, but such skills don't usually atrophy over time. I... I want this. Not just for the sake of having an MA, but because politics is something I've grown to love from both the outsider's drama of it, a

Writing: Where I Am

It has been so long since I wrote an actual story, that I think it’s time that I wrote were exactly I am with it. To be honest, this was inspired by four people: Comicality, craftingmom, Parker Owens, and northie.   Yesterday, Comsie posted a topic about the harassment he experienced due to leaving some of his stories unattended to. And it got me thinking of my own stories. While I certainly never experienced any harassment over any of my stories, it made me examine how long it takes for me to

As Falling Apart Comes To A Close... Here's Where I Am...

Well, after ten long months, Falling Apart is coming to its conclusion. Sorry it has taken so long, but it is also my longest story to date. I hope it was worth waiting for. So now that FA is done, I'm asking myself, what next?   I did write an anthology story for the Fall Blindsided theme. I am still trying to think of a follow up for Santa's little Helper, hopefully even in time for this Christmas. And I'd really like to maybe use a few prompts again. Maybe even do the Special Antholog

Husband comes home tomorrow. It's been a long time, and it seems like forever since I wrote to tell you all he was leaving. Home tomorrow, and it stills feels like forever away. I have to get through another long night with the bed cold and empty next to me until Dashi jumps up onto it and snugs so hard into my shoulder he practically pushes me out.

Predestination

Predestination   Staring at the blue sky To the distant pasts that glittered in the stars Unseen, unfound, hidden beneath the fluffy clouds   Lying on the concrete Hard truths and harder are the choices that exhumed The sins of the father reflected on the Lamb of God   Floating skyscrapers Diminishing breaths that’s building upon the layers of Foggy winter morning’s urban bustling rabble   14/10/2016 ©asamvav111
