    Prompts Featuring Creatures

    By Valkyrie

    In honor of our Anthology theme, I thought it would be fun to do some warm-up exercises. Maybe these will even turn into a complete Anthology story.  So let's go creature hunting!    PT Prompt #263 First line: "It's behind me, isn't it." PT Prompt#264 You buy a new pet and surprise your partner with it, only to find out they are deathly afraid of it.  What is it and how do you deal with the aftermath?    Please include the prompt number either in your sto

    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!

Through A Glass, Darkly

Through a Glass, Darkly   General George S. Patton, Jr.   Through the travail of the ages, Midst the pomp and toil of war, I have fought and strove and perished Countless times upon this star.   In the form of many people In all panoplies of time Have I seen the luring vision Of the Victory Maid, sublime.   I have battled for fresh mammoth, I have warred for pastures new, I have listed to the whispers When the race trek instinct grew.   I have known the call to battle In each changeles

Depakote Blues

It's only been just over a week on 1500 mg of Depakote and that old, familiar feeling has come back. You could say I feel like I was taking 2 mg of Risperidone and 1000 mg of Depakote, but it's different than that. There's no energy, zero, zilch. There's nothing there. It's like being in a warm pool of salt water. You just float there without a current to move you along. You're going nowhere and there's nothing to stop you from getting there.   Yesterday I wrote 3,000 words, but it was mostly

Super Bowl L Impressions

The hoopla the NFL concocts around the championship game saved the day. The contest itself was mediocre. An overconfident young quarterback was hammered in a way he hadn't been all year, by the end you could tell he had given up. Who doesn't jump on a ball after a fumble?   Payton Manning should retire while on top. He's still a force to contend with at his age, but his best days are over. Remind me again why the Colts released him when they did? The man won his 200th game, more than any other

My Life - My Views

I Quit

Some times we have take decisions which will more effect us than others. As well as some times they affect our life, our self respect and our personal life too.   I took new job in the aspects of unnecessary terms. I took it to prove that I am not nothing. But there I faced some obstacles which I never expected.   My own friends turned against me. They blamed me. And they broke my trust. Yeah I over reacted. Over expected. But I'll turn anything to prove myself as worthy, honesty and respect

Have You Ever Had A Strong Desire To Save A Character From His Author?

It's a taboo among writers, which I understand. We respect one another ability and respect our works mutually   Still, recently, I came upon a story that I was so angry at and so desperately desiring to change the fate of its protagonist that I wanted to ask the author if he would allow me to do a sequel based on his work, which has been in limbo for years. I haven't done it, because part of me doesn't want to desecrate the author's work, but on another level I don't like seeing a character be

Completing My First Story

Wow. Earlier today I posted chapter 18 of The Last Out, which is amazingly the final chapter of the story I've spun around Devin and Alex. I'm writing this and it feels surreal to me to have finished it (again, actually) and to have it published on a site like Gay Authors. I can't help but think 'what a strange, magical journey this story and I have gone on together'. The Last Out was never meant to be published. Not originally anyways. This was meant to be a guilty pleasure and escape, somethin

Me Before You Movie Trailer

The trailer for Me Before You just dropped...it's pretty good. If you're not familiar with the story, it's based on a book written by JoJo Moyes. It focuses on a young woman from a small town who becomes a hired caregiver to a recently-disabled man. It stars Emilia Clarke (Games of Thrones) and Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games). Here's the trailer:     I read the book once for a library book club...it was a pretty engrossing read. The set-up seems like an insipid romantic dramedy, but it m

The Fall Of The Consolidated Federation And Reconstruction

Pelenor City Nakajima Corporate Headquarters   The new acting CEO of Nakajima Transstellar Noburo Sato sat at a much diminished table. An entirely new board and corporate officers had been chosen to save the company.   Sato had arrived at the meeting as the director of Nakajima Shipyards. His distance from anything even remotely untoward in the recent hostilities had propelled him to the CEO’s chair; now one of the hottest seats in the Alliance.   Sato asked the new Chief Financial Office

Melancholy ... the broken staff of life

The Storm Passeth Away

For the optimist, all bad things do tend to fade away. I've gone from normal thru suicidal and back to some semblance of normal in three long weeks.   Although mental stability has regained a footing, I don't feel I'm completely out of the woods. I would like to get back to writing, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards right now, which is okay because I have a lot of material to post on The G.M.Os. and, now, Remembering Tim.   Right now I'm reading my old stuff and works by other authors

today was fun and amusing. on this site for a few days, and already making mistakes, lol. ADD and writing always make a fun mix. I have quit a few projects saved on this site already, just not any that were set to be published. talk about amusing and embarrassing when you get an email about something being denied for publishing for whatever reason and not realizing you had clicked to publish rather then save to finish later. at least on the fun side I did actually publish a piece of work that I

February C S R Feature: The Holly And The Ivy By Aditus

February is a month for romance! Many people, even if they aren't part of a couple, really associate this month above all with love and devotion--or overpriced chocolate treats and sappy cards. I wanted to keep with the romance theme, but I didn't want to take readers through a run of the mill romance, not at all. That's why this month, we're featuring an alternate earth tale with aliens and vampires. Enjoy!!   The Holly and the Ivy by Aditus   Length: 45,321   Descriptio

Remembering Tim - Redux And Feeling Better Thru Chemicals

Remembering Tim is ready for a republication with material from Tim and the Corsair added with a bridging chapter. Publication will follow under the title Remembering Tim - Redux.   Mental state is stabilizing and will probably stabilize further with a change in dosage I'm implementing. From now on I'll be taking 1500 mg of Divalproex and 1 mg of Risperidone. I was taking that two years ago and will take it from now on. The only foreseeable problem is a dulling of creative abilities, but I'll

Broken Prince, Mismatched Eyes And More

I've been meaning to do a new blog post for awhile, but now I have a bunch of things to share. As those who have been reading ....And All Shall Fade To Black have seen, i have finally started working on a new story after more than a year. This doesn't mean that I've forgotten my other works, I have plans to finish them all, as time frees itself up. About a month ago I landed a job with the local newspaper, something i had initially applied for when I first got to town a decade ago. It's a thrill
