    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!

No One Is Alone

No One Is Alone From the musical “Into The Woods” written by Stephen Sondheim Mother cannot guide you Now you're on your own Only me beside you Still, you're not alone No one is alone Truly No one is alone I wish... I know Mother isn't here now Wrong things, right things Who knows what she'd say? Who can say what's true? Nothing's quite so clear now Do things, fight things Feel you've lost your way? You decide, but You are not alone Believe me No one is alone (No one is a

The Year Of Newness

2015 kicked my ass, but I've now come to realize I'm better for it. I lost my job, had very little money, and I could see my relationship of 6 years crumbling. So I did what just about every gay man in his 20s does to cope, and turned to partying and Grindr to help me get away from it all. Predictably, it all ended in disaster that even a blind man could have seen coming. I knew it was coming too, but didn't want to face it. To make a long story short, by Christmas I was single for the first tim

Ever Been A Victim Of Violence?

If you have, you know how much it sucks. You know that your survival isn't guaranteed when you are helpless in the hands of those that have bad intentions.   It's happened to me twice as an adult. I pretty much lived with it as a teen.   Once was a rather serious beating I took as an 18 year old freshman. There was more too it than that but it was bad enough. The second a few years later. I don't remember that one. I was beaten with a blackjack and suffered a severe concussion. Probably left

When Your Other Favorite Forum Becomes A Nightmare

Over the years, I've loved two forums, this one of course and another. The other forum, as of late, has gone to shit. A certain group of assholes started harassing me almost constantly. The staff was almost certainly aware of it and did nothing. They resorted to things like neg repping random posts, comparing me to a member who is a total nutjob who actually stalked another member of Facebook, and just whatever else they could think of to piss me off. Needless to say, I'm done with that site. Bu

Weekly Wrap Up (Jun 12 - Jun 18)

It's once again time to take a look at what has happened here on GA this past week. Emotions have run high after the news about the tragic shooting in Orlando, Florida. While many of us couldn't find the words to say how we felt, Steve managed to do what we couldn't, and shared some thoughts on what happened in Orlando. Some authors, both here at GA and others, are putting together a Poetry Anthology to benefit the victims of the Pulse shooting. If you're interested in participating, you can che

Real Statistics - The Truth About Guns And Crime In The Us

As a math geek I can really geek out on statistics.   It is said that statistics can be made to say anything and that is true if you play games with the numbers. I don't.   Those numbers actually say things that don't jive with the political narrative.   Those are the numbers we really need to pay attention to.           Per Capita Gun Ownership: 112 guns per 100 people   The US is #1 worldwide in gun ownership with more guns than people.1       Now- let's look at the US Homici

New Things Are Coming

I am the type of person who likes documenting my life sometimes, so here is a blog post.   I realized that it has been over a year since I posted a story. But this year, two things happened that I am hopeful will get some new work up.   Firstly, I realized that Adderall was completely fucking up my life. I did really well at work (I had the highest productivity back in 2014 and was second highest last year) but outside of work, I was completely miserable. I couldn't sleep well, I could

Story Announcement For 0's And 1's Book 2

Before I start, I just want people to know, Equality Florida has raised 4.6 Million for the victims of the Orlando attack:       This is an awesome cause and I'm probably going to donate again, when I get my next pay check. https://www.gofundme.com/PulseVictimsFund   Now to the main subject:   I am postponing the publication of Book 2 until October, both because the subject matter is too close to reality and I do not wish to inflame passions with my writing. For my readers, you know fro

Goodbye Rambo

Was it inevitable? We’ll never know.   What is known is that my son’s 90 lb. German Shepherd bit me yesterday morning with no provocation. I was sitting at the desk working on the laptop and Nana was rummaging around my chair. I reached down to pet her and Rambo chomped down onto my forearm and wrist with enough force to draw blood. Luckily for me, this time the entire episode was viewed by my son who has been of the opinion that every time Rambo has attacked me in the past has, somehow, been

Thoughts On Orlando

Shock, anger, sadness, resentment, and thoughts of revenge.   Those are the thoughts and feelings I am personally dealing with this morning waking up to the news of what happened early today in Orlando, Florida.   I’m sure there is much more we are all feeling and trying to work our way through right now.   As of the last report on CNN, there are 50 dead and 49 injured in a mass shooting at a gay club in Orlando called Pulse. It happened at 2 AM just around closing time. The gunman, who th
