    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!

Help Remove Pat Robinson's 700 Club from ABC Affiliates!

Pat Robinson just compared gay marriage to man-dog marriage. Pat Robinson Compares Gay Marriage to Man-Dog Marriage   Now I've got nothing against dogs but I'm reasonably sure that they have no standing in legal agreements.   Pat Robinson is an ass hat and spreads hate against the GLBT community every time he opens his senile mouth.     Tell ABC Family that this isn't the sort of family values you had in mind when you tune in.   If you have had quite enough of this asshole, sign the p

The Wisdom of M

Time The Illusion

Time is an illusion that we cast by the frailty of our organic machine-bodies. But the mind and the soul are not finite. They persist.   Time is an illusion we cast for ourselves in a world of clocks and watches to meter out the days of our lives. But the foundations of creation do not speak to time. The universe lives and breaths in a never ending cycle of creation, reformation, and recreation.   The universe speaks of change, not death. What was once one thing gives way to the same thing i

So... What's next?

Okay, so Blood of the Neko is completely posted now, and I'm so glad that so many readers enjoyed it. It has made me think about writing a third story--as well as more Neko shorts, of course. I really appreciate all of the reviews asking for more neko, as well as the abundance of ideas. So I'd say one will be coming, I just don't know when, maybe by the summer.   Currently, I'm working on another fantasy/romance (think shifter, but not wolf). I haven't been able to get very far yet (three cha

eBook Review: Bratty Angel by Chris T. Kat

My rating: 4 of 5 stars   Today I'm featuring Chris T. Kat's newest release, Bratty Angel. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Okay, I don't have much to say about this book... except go buy it now! It's a great fantasy, with a mythological twist I really enjoyed. Good and evil aren't quite so clear cut in this tale. Nope, no siree. You find that out when you learn a hellhound and angel are hanging out. And the angel's harassing someone for some pleasure.   Reading this

Ga's Newest Promising Author: Valkyrie!

After a long delay since our last author promotion, we begin today to replenish the list of Promising Authors with the promotion of Valkyrie! Valkyrie is fairly new to writing fiction, having only finished her first serial in May 2014. Valkyrie's stories tend to feature flawed individuals who go through some pretty rough times before reaching their happily ever after -- if they ever do. As she states in her author bio, she is a big fan of animals and several of her stories feature them. In addit

What's worse than being stuck between a rock & a hard place?

The answer is being stuck between a bud and a bro.   There's something you might not know about Southern culture. In some ways we are almost Arabic.   Once we make friends, there's very little that can change that. We're loyal to an absolute fault even when it hurts and goes way past making any sense. Why sure Butch, I'll follow you over that cliff.     There is one place that I absolutely hate to be: in between people I care about in a controversy.   I literally don't know how to han

The Class of '05 Rides Again. (200th Entry- Wow-hoo!)

I just got invited to my 10-year high school reunion. Oh my god, I can't believe it went by that fast. 19 just feels a couple of years ago. Does this mean I'll be 39 before I know it?   Anyway, here are four tunes I associate with my senior prom. (We're actually having our reunion at the same place, apparently. That'll be a trip.)   "Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing   Prom theme. 80's nostalgia was riding high in 2005. They played this on the fake red carpet they set up in front of my s

My Love/Hate Gym Relationship

I love the gym. Its the place I go at the end of my day where I expend the last bit of energy I have and it never fails to leave me on a high when I'm finished. It has given me a focus and discipline like few things have ever given me before at times when I sorely needed it. It has done wonders to my own self-confidence and body image and given me more social confidence, and not to mention helped get me laid more than I thought I would ever get. So what the fuck is there to dislike about somethi

2015 Academy Awards Predictions by BarricadeBoy

THE 2015 ACADEMY AWARDS PREDICTIONS DONE BY BARRICADEBOY   For the first time, I will be predicting the winners of the 2015 Oscars. I haven’t watched all of them so my predictions will be based on Oscar buzz and award season results but mostly who I think will take the prize this coming Sunday night. Some categories are missing like foreign language and documentary because I did not see ANY of the nominees and I did not want to guess a winner.     BEST PICTURE: Boyhood

Fixing My Destiny

Reflecting on my decisions - Two years later

Most of you don't remember me when I used to write and beta on a regular basis. However, since the majority of my friends and family don't know much about me - and I'm trying to figure out a delicate balance between keeping my mother happy by not blasting "my unacceptable lifestyle" (trust me, this is a separate issue way too complicated for one single blog post) and keeping my boyfriend happy - I wrote a section of this as a Facebook note, and promptly deleted before posting.   Two years ago,

My Favorite 10 SNL Skits

In honor of SNL's 40th anniversary, I thought I'd post my favorite 10 sketches.   10.) To Love, Honor, and Stalk: The Gillian Woodward Story   Senator John McCain kills it as the "personal space infringer" in this 2002 skit of Lifetime movie parodies.   It is such a dead-on parody of Lifetime movies. I've watched plenty of those.   9.) Schmitt's Gay   Two guys get the best (gay) surprise of their life when they house-sit.   This one made me tingle in ways I didn't quite understand a

Do book websites help?

I am a first time author and am looking for some help. I have created a website for my new book (my first one), Skeletons Of A Murder. I would like to have users go to the website http://www.skeletonsofamurder.info and read the Home page, the Prolog page, and the others if interested. Let me know what you think. Does the site generate any interest in reading the book? Is the site organized in such a manner as to be easy to use? Does any page need additions, deletions, corrections? Does reviewing

Weekly Wrap Up!

Sorry all, running a bit late today. The week has gone by so quickly that I sorta forgot today was Sunday! Before I get going, for those who didn't noticed Saturday's post, I wanted to once again announce the winner for the International Flirt Week Contest.   For the line: **walk up to a stranger, lick a finger and wipe it on the guy's shirt** "Come on, baby.

I've tried to write this so many times, and keep deleting it. I really don't know how to say what's on my mind. My brother, R, wasn't feeling well at the end of October, but our sister, M, thought he could wait until he saw the specialist in December. I spoke with M before thanksgiving when she wanted one of our dad's recipes. I suggested getting R to a doctor then, but she felt it could wait until the specialist visit in December. The appointment with the specialist was January not ea

Who's ready for a new set of prompts to get the wheels turning? Sometimes an author hits a road block that they just can't seem to make their way through. The weekly prompts are a great starting point to jump start some new ideas. Whether you're looking to just do a quick flash piece or maybe you want to do a bit longer story, why not give them a try! A couple of things to remember: Prompt responses under 1,000 words must be posted as part of a collection. Do to the high number of collections co

answers to a quiz

I posted a little quiz in a status update. Here are the answers, and thanks for looking.     Original question: A little game – can you name two of the ways in which W. S. Gilbert (as in Gilbert and Sullivan fame) changed and contributed to everyday English? One is a two-word expression he coined, and the other has a definite Gay connection!     Answer one: Two word expression = "hardly ever." It all has to do with seasickness. In H.M.S. Pinafore, the chorus of sailors takes umbrage at the

My Backyard Adventure

I have only been out of the house once since January 27th, the date of winter storm Juno, aka. The Boston Blizzard. I made three trips to various stores and groceries the day before in order to stock up on supplies so that I could tuck-in and wait things out. Things went well, my supplies lasted quite a long time. My first journey out was to the grocery again, fresh produce was my target, and in that goal I was successful. The journey allowed me to marvel at the mountains of snow at intersection

It Doesn't Have to be Pretty, When it's True

People tell me I write beautiful things, wonderful things, adorable things. And I hope this is all true. But I also write awful things, painful things, terrible things. And these are true too.   There tends to be a lot of discussions about what makes good writing, and so often I find myself coming back to that immortal phrase "Write what you know." I might not have grown up in the hayfields of Texas, or ridden in the rodeo, or fallen desperately in love with a beautiful girl in the back of a t
