    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

Featured Story: Toy Soldiers

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 Toy Soldiers by Dabeagle. Valkyrie 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 Dabeagle some reviews. Enjoy!   Toy Soldiers by Dabeagle Classic   Reviewer: V

Well, we're slowly making our way into the year and we already are up to the third Friday of the month. If it is Friday, then it is time for some new prompts. So let me see what I can tempt our writers to create this week. Just a reminder - any story under a thousand words needs to part of a collection.   Prompt 472 – Creative Tag – First Line “When did you expect me to get that done?”   Prompt 473 – Creative Tag – Personal Pet The last thing you expected was a pet from your partner.

January Signature Excerpt: Beloved By Don H

This December we're featuring Don H's 600k plus story, Beloved, for our Signature week. This story originally brought me to GA, and it's still ongoing six years later. Are you a fan? If you are, make sure you check out Monday's feature showcasing the new Stories ad as well as a downloadable graphic you can place in your signature to spread the love.   There are many great moments in this story, but back when I used to follow it, this was one of my favorite between the two main characters, Cam

I Need Your Help With Something

Hello, everyone!   I'm preparing for a short story competition in a couple weeks, as well as a personal goal I'm setting for myself in February.   The short story competition follows a specific pattern, which I need to practice if I expect to do any good at it, and since the second and third stages of the competition happen in March and April, I intend to practice through all of February.   This year I will be doing something I'm calling "Flash Fiction February". I'm going to write a short

The G. M. Os., The End

Well, The G. M. Os. has finally come to an end. 26 chapters, a little over 179,000 words. Quite a project.   Now all that is waiting is the publishing. Chapter 8 went up today. Chapter 9 is out for proofreading.   Frankly, I’m very happy with the story. It was a good mental exercise and kept me sane for two months.   Yesterday had a bit of a letdown and almost had to call the suicide hotline. Haven’t had that feeling in over five years, but I know it’s always there. Good thing I’m going to

The G. M. Os., Thoughts

The G. M. Os. has come down to the last chapter. The cycle of the story has come around to a point close to the beginning as far as relationships go. All I have to do now is write it. No, there is no block. It’s just a matter of tidying up and giving any possible continuation of the story a jumping off point.   My dreams last night were very troubling. There were images from my childhood and family and friends. The scenes were very different, but they had a familiarity to them that was unsettl

New Story Is Up

Hey All,   I decided to start posting my newest story. Parker and Caz have been helping me with it for a month or more now, and I so greatly appreciate their help and input.   I'm actually a bit stuck on this story--at ch. 14--so I thought posting might get me motivated to write instead of reading all the time. I really feel I need to get it out of my head, but I just keep putting it off. I'm hoping it was maybe just the busy-ness of the holidays and now that they are over I can get back

Chapter 12 Of Cbdt- End Of Book 1

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/14   I've done it, I have finished a novella. So Book 1 is now in "complete" status, this is my second novella and it is much more reflective of my writing concepts, ideals, and conflicts than my rushed attempt last time to rewrite a lost novel.   As for this chapter, it asks a lot of big questions about morality of lies versus the practical reality of truth in a free society that has mutually antagonistic elements. That is the heart of the ne

Dear Neighbor.....

I'm sure your child is precious to you. All parents think their child is precious. I know your child is excited about his Christmas presents and wants to show our son. Our son is excited about his as well, and wants to spend his Christmas vacation playing Xbox One with his dad. You know the one who works 12 hour shifts and only gets to spend a day with our boy every other week?   We understand your son loves your pets. We love ours too, and consider her part of the family.

The Reading List

For some reason, I decided to make a list in Google Docs of everything I've read and enjoyed across three websites and into yaoi.   Thirty minutes later, I had a small list of about 42 yaoi and 15 erotic fiction (mostly series). Mind you, I forgot a ton of the yaoi and grouped some series under one title, or only included one or two of my favorite mangaka's works (plus there are some I'm not ready to fess up to reading >.>), and I've only been reading erotic fiction for three months.

Open Letter To A Grocery Chain

Dear Publix; I realize now that I made a mistake when I begged off of visiting family this year. I failed to account for the fact that no trip to Florida to see family also means no trip to Florida to see you. Trips to Florida are more work than vacation for those born and raised in the region, but time with you makes them all worthwhile. While I am more than content and fulfilled in the romance that took me away to Texas, I regret leaving you. I’ve tried other stores to fill the Publix-shape
