    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!

In Guns We Trust

*America:* Boy, look at all the American fatalities that have happened over the past year, especially with all the shootings and gun-related murders. How could this possibly happen?   *America:* It can't be because our citizens are legally allowed to own and use guns for 'self defense', a rather loose and uncontrolled law that has every potential to go very wrong and blast our nation into a pile of blood and smoking guns and at the very least, significantly decrease the global population.

I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke- Mad Men's Finale

The iconic show about advertising ended with the most iconic commercial of the 20th century. In honor of the finale...check out the single version of Seriously though, I'm thrilled Mad Men referenced that ad. I think it's such a brilliant piece of advertising with a message that still resonates today- share a Coke with a friend and make a bond for a little while regardless of who they are. Here's the real origin story behind the ad- Bill Backer was on a flight layover, and noticed that the

Haters And Bigots = Changes To My About Me Section

Just a short rant I promise. I have had to make some changes to my about me section and here is why..   I had a visit today from my church pastor and like I expected it was about… yep you guessed it, my writing. Apparently I am leading my readers down the wrong path and maybe am heading there myself. *cue the eye roll*   I won’t bore everyone with our conversation, but needless to say he wants me to stop writing gay/paranormal romance and I very nicely told him to get stuffed. I told him I

Featured Story: Gaymer

Monday's are a great day, not so much as they are the start of a new week but because it's the day we look at one of the stories here at Gay Authors. Maybe you have been looking for a new story to read? Hopefully I can help you out with that! I like to contribute the occasional review to the blog, today I decided to do a review on an author that has been around since 2004. He's recently started posting a lot of stories, including the one I decided to review for today. I hope you enjoy my review

For 'him'

. Might jaded be the cruelest of concepts, The one that will allow no sleep at night, The tormentor with its holy precepts That only might possesses what is right? How many are the fucking sad moments When doubt intrudes on dreams with its moaning, To tick like a clock with its arguments That nothing's ever come from my groaning. How to pray for relief when even faith Allows no creed to say I'm good enough; How to foster hope when my mind's

Weekly Wrap Up!

Renee is away for the weekend attending a wedding. Since she isn't here, you are all stuck with me. Let me say that for a small fee, I will be selling pictures of Renee in her Bridesmaid dress   On Monday for our Featured Story, it was for our Signature Author for the month of May, Krista. We had her 2008 Anthology "Finding Alex" featured. Suvitar wrote a great review of this story and I believe enticed a few of us to go back and read it for the first time or maybe the second or third times.

Wine In Trouble

This is embarrassing.   I do a lawn mowing job for my dad's employee. The employee Mike gave me a bottle of wine for Dad coz he owed him for something. Anyway, after the job, I began waking home with the lawn mower with the edge clipper and broom on it, with the bottle in hand which was wrapped in plastic wrapping. I only got around the corner when the bottle slipped from my hand. Yes, I dropped and smashed it. So as I stared in complete fascination at what I'd done, I thought about telling m

Where Have They All Gone?

Warning: This is a message that may offend middle-aged to near elderly members. No offense.   I just want to know where all the teens arehere? You know? Practically all my friends here are between 40 and 60 and that's awfully disturbing. They're great but they'd be better if they stayed a teenager. I know a couple in their twenties and I know ConnorWhite who is 17 (hurrah) but that's like the only teen here I know.   If you are teen near the age of 16 or know of anyone who fits this categor

Electric Innuendo

On the way home today, I saw this hilarious thing I have to tell you. We were behind a van which looked like it belonged to an electrical company. On the back of the van however it said: 'We remove your shorts and turn you on.'   I nearly died with laughter right then and there.

Gay For A Week

This is going to be interesting. For the first time, I'm letting you into the bizarre and crazy world of me. Welcome, take a seat and get comfy.   Now, today something wierd happened.   I have been friends with a boy called Chris since 2012 at high school. He has a half right arm which extends only to his elbow where his stump is. He is fit and us a national swimmer representative. He is quite smart, obsessed with Game of Thrones and Greek mythology and is quite opinionated. He's average l

The Broken Beautiful Boy

I posted this on Reddit, in a sub that talks about pleasant encounters you've had with people that left a good impression on you. Here's a tale of an platonic stranger encounter I had when I was 21...   *** When I was in high school, I was a hormonal gay teenager who had two minute crushes on any cute guy that crossed my path. There was this one guy, I can't even remember his name now, who was a senior when I was a freshmen. He was an artistic type, with auburn hair with sideburns that framed

Remembering Kathmandu

Five years ago I spent ten days in Kathmandu. It was on my bucket list, and I must say that I was enchanted with the people. Watching guys as old as myself holding hands while walking was a pleasant surprise -- not necessarily gay but just friends. I understand that the hotel I stayed in went down. I am so glad that I did include this trip in one of my novels. May the people of Nepal recover

Life Has Its Moments

I prefer to focus on the odd.   This morning the washing machine died. It had a long life. It gave its all trying to wash a load of my father's underwear and socks. Middle of the cycle a belt went and the machine seized. My father dutifully woke me up to tell me, help him go down and drain it, then take all the wash we could find down to the local laundromat and do it.   Tomorrow he wants to go shopping.   Today I am going to recycle the cans and plastics, pick up something to cook for din

Likes And Dislikes

So someone asked for me to tell about my likes and dislikes. That would be a good start.   So here they are, welcome to my world of what I give the tick and what I give the cross.   I like food, iPad, TV, music, writing and sketching. And of course: Boys, boys, boys.   I like the summer sun, the warmth of my bed and hanging out with good friends.   What I don't like is unfair treatment, self obsessed celebrities and anchovies. And I'm not into fantasy/witchcraft either.   So there we

Hello, My Dear Colleagues

I have been blogging since quite a few years, and I recently discovered this site, which I have found to be varied and friendly. It is not frequent -- I think -- to find a place to discuss or exchange concerns about our writing within the gay community. This is especially true in my case, as I live in Panama, and this aspect is kept under the carpet -- not in the closet. My experience with the gay theme stems from my clinical work in the field during 40 years. This produced several scientifi

A New Nation Rises

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Jordanation! Thanks for popping in. I only figured out how to do this five minutes ago and now I've started an egocentric tribe of one. Please follow this blog, that would be awesome. Not bad first entry so far, huh?   What's gonna be in this blog? (That's always good to talk about) Good question - I have no idea. But that's great because I can post random babble and it'll be okay! OH I know, I'll do done promotional plug-ins for my story 'Someone Like Me'. Th

Finding Alex: Extended Short Scene

Howdy y'all! We're doing something a little different today for the Signature Author Wednesday post. As most probably know, today is when we'd normally feature the Signature Author Interview, but occasionally it's good to switch it up a bit. Instead of the interview, Krista gave us a little addition to Finding Alex in the form of an extended short scene. Leave Krista a comment on this blog to let her know what you think!

"openly Straight" By Bill Koenigsberg- When A Book Really Hits Home

Hey, I came across this Young Adult book that Adam Phillips recommended to me a year or two ago, called Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg. I was in Barnes and Nobles, and I basically devoured the book in about two hours. I honestly loved the story. It's the story of a guy, named Rafe, who after being Mr. Openly Gay Guy, decides to get a new fresh start by going off to boarding school and just being regular. Because of his resemblance to a very former popular student, he's embraced by the jock
