    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!

I hope everyone has had a great week and a wonderful August. It's hard to believe that it's already September, this year just seems to be going by so fast!

I'm Back Now

"I went to get paint, and I went to that big bookshop, y'know, Saga Books. And they had coffee and places to sit, and I thought what we really needed was to be more like them..."       Yes, I'm back. Yes, it's really me. Yes, I wrote something little, and I though I'd share. Ma thought it was a good idea, but that's not the only reason.   Hello, It's been a while, how are y'all? I missed you guys - you know who you are. So, I'm a parent now. Here are the facts you get, these and no others.

What We Leave Behind

Do you ever stop to think about what you’re leaving behind?   I mean beyond money, jewels, your house, and yacht. What are you leaving that marked your place in the world that people can see and talk about?   My mum died when I was fifteen. Then I’d mostly written in school, mainly because I had to, but when she was gone, I searched the house with some feeling of desperation hoping to find a note, or letter or story. But I found very little beyond some cards with her signature.   I know a

Brought To You By A Prompt

Prompt #526 may become a one-shot from me soon, but for now it serves as a perfect way to start my stream of consciousness today.   “Damn, where the hell am I supposed to go now?”   I have no idea where I'm supposed to go. None at all. I still haven't found a full-time job. I'm lost and beginning to lose hope for my career prospects. Which I suppose makes me like most millennials. I've definitely given up hope for finding a teaching position where I live right now. Biggest city in the provin

The Bard's Pursuit (2) - An L P W Ballad

This is the second (and concluding) part to my ballad which I wrote to cheer a friend up. If you haven't read part 1, you can find it here: http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/blog/664/entry-16410-the-bards-pursuit-1-an-l-p-w-ballad/ As a reminder, it's loosely based on elements of Last Post Wins, a popular game here on GA. I had enormous fun writing this and I hope you enjoy it.           The bard's pursuit (Part 2)   The bard he came straight to the Queen And found her quite alone. Her

Grammar Rodeo #9

It's been a while since we had a Grammar Rodeo from Cia, but this month that feature has returned. Let's see what Cia has to say about.... NUMBERS!   Let’s talk numbers! 01 001 1 100 0... no that’s not what I mean. LOL One of the subtle details that refines writing is how an author addresses numbers. Let’s face it, you can’t write anything at length without running into this issue because our lives are dictated by things like time and money.   Numbers in Fiction   Numbers at the begi

August C S R Discussion Day: Treading Water By Headstall

August is coming to a close, and with it summer for the northern hemisphere--the last hurrah for many families having those family/friend barbecues and spending time together. But not all families get to do that--which is exactly what we see in Headstall's Treading Water. Did you have a chance to read it yet? If you didn't, well be careful of spoilers in the comments but you can still enjoy my interview with Headstall.   Who do you like best: Tom, Jerry, or Huckleberry Hound? Huckleberry Hound

The Bard's Pursuit (1) - An L P W Ballad

A friend has had a trying August (his words) - so, to cheer him up, I started writing this ballad. It is loosely based on elements of Last Post Wins, a popular game on GA. It is a fun piece with the consistency of a meringue and the emotional depth of a puddle             The bard's pursuit (Part 1)   A grasping bard did gold desire, He plotted all the while. He drained his cup all through the night And thought with all his guile.   One cool, bright morn he hurried forth And thou

Small Rant

Well I never thought I'd be here, with a blog, but I found out today that I'm very tired. So I figured a small rant was in order.   Our young Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, said recently that poverty is sexist. There is a large movement to lift women and children out of poverty. Which, while good, still divides us as a race. In that I mean the human race, all people on this earth belong to a single race, the human one.   I’ve been poor. I’ve been very poor. I’ve spent days hungry. I know w

Cult: Time Masters

A Facebook entry made me think of one of the cult animations of my childhood: Time Masters.   As a child, I was having nightmares because of it, it's not really a tale for little kids, more a sci-fi for young adults. The French-Hungarian co-production was legendary to those days, 60 artists were working on it for almost 3 years. Thanks to IMDb, there is a parents guide, what says 6 years and above for Germany, the age 13 for Argentina seems more appropriate.   Synopsis from IMdB:   Piel,

Stranger Things

I finally broke down and got Netflix so I could watch Stranger Things, which is kind of like an homage to 1970's/1980's sci-fi teen fantasy movies/books. It's about a nerdy group of middle school friends in small town America 1983, when one of the group goes mysteriously missing.   Some big nostalgia factor- aside from being set in '83, it's also got 80's teen stars Matthew Modine and Winona Ryder. Winona especially turns in quite the performance as a single mom slowly but surely coming apart

Am I Worthless?

Every time this question popped into my head, you people made think different and made me feel great. But once I go off of this alive space, reality hits me so hard. So hard that my heart will get squeeze to pulp and hurt me so much.   My parents never cared about what I want and they always never give a sh*t about me. And now even my things are became worthless to them. My cloth, my books... my all things became a unwanted stuff in their house.   My Ex. He even flirts with me even though I

Featured Story: About Carl

I hope everyone had a great weekend, but now it's time to start off a new week. A great way to start the week is to take a look at a story that can be found on Gay Authors. Today's feature is About Carl by Diogenes. Timothy M was nice enough to provide us with this great review. If you haven't already done so, maybe it will inspire you to take a look. If you do, don't forget to leave Diogenes some reviews. Enjoy! About Carl Diogenes   Reviewer: Timothy M. Status: Complete

Weekly Wrap Up (August 14 - August 20)

Okay, it has been a very busy week, so I'm not going to dawdle too long. However, we also have some info we'd like to share with you. First off, if you are a site author, then please check out the author forum "Anthology Private Discussion" as there are a couple of things in there that require you're attention.   Also, as a reminder, we’re always looking for Premium content, and you don’t need to write a novel to have one of your stories included! Do you have an anthology story that went awry

Thank You Caz

For the first time in my life I got a package through normal mail, a gift from my friend here, for my birth day. It was not simply a gift, but for me more than anything in my life. My first ever printed poem. I don't have words right now and don't know how to thank properly other than the way I knew, writing a poem for them. And Caz, this is for you...     Sometime simple 'Thank You' was not enough to say our gratitude towards someone special   Sometimes a simple 'Smile' w

A Dental Update

Hey everyone!   So, Wednesday morning, I woke up with an annoying ache in one of my teeth. At first, I was able to ignore it since it was more a nuisance than an actual pain, but the ache began to intensify later that afternoon and really got bad at night (to the point where I wasn't able to sleep ). Well, Thursday morning saw me at the dentist's office to make an emergency appointment, and thankfully they had a slot opened for 11:30 AM, which meant I didn't have to wait that for long.
