    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!

    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

Plotting My Evil Plan

I'm going to visit my pal in another not-so-faraway city and stay only for a few hours, cramming what I can with him because of mutual time restraints. Sound hectic? Definitely.   If I can I'd be doing a podcast or a vlog, then a quick Let's Play of a Dating Sim which I hope will come through smoothly. Getting this all done to gather resources for editing into videos. Also I'm gonna make sure he sees some of my written works. Should be a fun day tomorrow. SHOULD BE.   It's really hard to man

Out Loud At Last

OUT Loud At Last is a photo campaign in response to Adam Bouska's NOH8 campaign. We are “removing the tape” and celebrating the legalization of Gay Marriage in the U.S.! I was in NYC when the SCOTUS ruling hit the press, and I immediately wanted to celebrate by having a photoshoot. My Friends Kayla O’keefe and Schyler Conaway helped form the idea of “removing the tape” to reveal a rainbow and show our pride in finally being able to live OUT Loud At Last.   Those are the words of photographer J

Confucius And Gay Marriage

Just read an interest analysis on the Opinions of Justice Kennedy and Justice Scalia on Gay Marriage, including their mutually differen views on Confucius' words regarding marriage and the nature of the state.   Take a look if you are interested in another interesting perspective of Gay Marriage: http://thediplomat.com/2015/07/confucius-on-gay-marriage/   The author of the article has some things right on this; yes Confucius was probably the most tolerant of all the ancient philosopher/relig

Occupying Thoughts

I frequently have many thoughts running around in my head at one time. Other times, there is nothing going on, so I guess it balances. Lately, I've had a kid in my brain.   I mentioned him earlier, and let me give you some detail. Due to privacy laws, I will call him Adam, for the same of bringing humanity to him as opposed to calling him Child A or something. Adam is ten years old and is quite dimunitive. You might think, upon meeting him, that he is much younger than his biological age. You'

Times They Are A Changing

So I'm back after an extended soul searching, life reaffirming, dealing with government idjits period (and brain searching, seriously if anyone finds my brain please tell it to come home!! My skull's getting cold and lonely) I've decided to come back to a community that's been there for me in the past and continue to lend my support for Gay Authors.   In the time that I was gone I noticed that a good friend of mine has passed away and I was sadden to see the post about Trebs.

Touri$M

Tourism is the backbone of Charleston's economy and doesn't hurt South Carolina as a whole, either. One of that little coastal state's trump cards has always been its controversial role in igniting the bloodiest war in U.S. history, the rebellion against the nation in defense of slavery. So a lot of people are making money off the Confederate flag and off of the Civil War history angle, because it brings people to travel to S.C. and buy knick-knacks, such as the pewter 4" replica of Robert E.

Please Bear This In Mind...

GayAuthors is a GLOBAL web site. There are people here from everywhere, except for Antarctica. Who knows- we might even have a penguin or two.   We literally have people from New York and New Delhi. Philly and the Philippines. Mississippi and Manitoba. Alberta and Albuquerque. I could go on but my onomatopoeia/geography skills only go so far.   It would be an absolute miracle if we didn't have any culture clashes. I know that I've been guilty of that myself from time to time. Anyone that has

Tuskegge Airmen - Thank You For Your Service

From Miami Herald Obituaries   By Howard Cohen hcohen@MiamiHerald.com       On Feb. 13, the Miami-Dade Aviation Department honored “not only members of the Greatest Generation” but “the Greatest Generation Plus.” Three South Florida Tuskegee Airmen of the 26 surviving members of the first all-black military flying unit that was formed in 1941 were honored that day at Miami International Airport.   And now there are 25.   Two days before Independence Day, on July 2, Lt.

Likes Girls, Hates Vaginas | The Gayest Straight Man I Ever Met

My friend Edgar.   I love my friend Edgar to bits. He's this adorable fluffball of a dweeb witha stretchy, elastic face who makes me smile whenever I visit. It all started with him being my fan over that ONE comic I made of PewDiePie. Since then, we trade creative juices whenever we can. (OH MY GOD, THAT SOUNDS DISGUSTING)   And we wound up bonding over a lot of things: relationships (he has a girlfriend but hates vaginas), inspirations, aspirations, and being idiots.

My Newfound Respect For Drag Queens

So I have a new-found respect for drag queens since the summer started, where I first discovered RuPaul's Drag Race.   I'll be honest: I was scared of drag queens back then. Not because they'll rape me (like some of my friends claimed), but more because they were loud and flamboyant (which my family taught me to, well, hate).   But watching drag queens for the first time at RuPaul's Drag Race made me realize they were people of comedy (and drama). And were like actors, really. I know, being

What's Next

So with Beneath the Current now complete, I have three stories now rattling around in my brain. So you might see a new story coming soon. It's a bit different than my usual, since the MCs are already in love when the story starts. I'm thinking of posting this one as I write it, probably a chapter a week, unless I get really going on it. The first chapter is written and I'm halfway through the second. Unfortunately, it is not a sequel to any of the story I've previously written. As much as

Yay Or Neigh For 'punk Bitch?'

I'm still feeling regret over my US Marines and Gay Marriage Mock-up. Not a good idea as I have learnt.   But what I'm still tossing my head around over is the term 'punk bitch'.   Firstly, what does it mean? Similar to my other phrases such as 'crazy goon' and 'silly sausage', it is intended to be a slightly more assertive way of saying how much of how liberal you are. It could also mean how awesome you are too. It could potentially be insulting, which is where the controversy starts.

Women's World Cup

The USA team gets to split $2 million for winning the World Cup. The German team who won the Men's cup split $35 million. A tad of a difference.   Everything I've read tells of FIFA treating the women as the unwanted step-children. From the prize money, to accommodations, to playing fields. The almighty dollar is the reasoning behind it they claim. The ladies don't bring in the amount of revenue the men do according to the ruling organization.   The number of women playing soccer in the US,

Shoot Me Now

So it looks like I'm going against the firing squad for, well, things that should not have been said.   It's like waving a red flag at twenty thousand bulls.   My last blog post (now deleted to prevent continued offense) about the wonderful service of the Marines was meant to be a mere, light-hearted joke that reflects my own humor. And before I apologise for that particular incident, which caused an unsurmountably large uproar of dissaproval, you must realise that it was your choice to com

Freedom Of Speech And Everything That Comes With It

God, I hate that I am going to talk about politics so soon. But today calls for it.   Today, I saw something that shocked, hurt, and pained me. So, I left a long comment on it. I have no idea if it will be posted... so I am posting a similar piece on here.   I am a young man that champions the "Freedom of Speech" and I live by Voltaire's "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." but what I saw really tested my resolve. I do not merely disagree
