    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!

Weekly Wrap Up!

I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween. Did you get lots of Trick-or-Treaters or did you hide from the ghosts and goblins that were prowling around the streets? For those who are in a place who practice Daylight Savings Time, did you remember to set your clocks back an hour before you went to bed?   We started out the week with the CSR Discussion Day. Cia asked a few of the authors for this month some Halloween related questions. The answers got really interesting and are definitely wo

Writing Prompts #366 & #367

Before we get into this week's prompts, first a reminder. This sunday marks the end of daylight savings, so if you're in an area that does the whole daylight savings thing, don't forget that you will need to set your clock's back one hour prior to going to bed (if you go to bed before 2 am!). Now, let's see what comicfan has for us this week!   Prompt 366 – Creative Tag – List of Words Use the following words in a story – corn, hay bale, scarecrow, tractor, and skinned knee.   Prompt 367 – C

Sharing A Stranger's Misery In Penn Station.

There was a guy, maybe 25 or 26, clean cut and well dressed, who I noticed leaning up against a column by the waiting area, with a look of absolute desperation on his face. I discreetly moved closer to him to see what was going on, and all I hear is "baby please don't leave me" before the line on the other end of the phone goes dead. He looks at the screen, and it's clear the call is over before his plea ever got answered. He lowers his head against the column and quietly begins to sob right in

Weekly Wrap Up!

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend so far. Monday will be here before we know it, but before that happens, lets take a look at what happened this week in the GA News Blog, cause there's been quite a bit to look back at.   Due to last weeks takeover of the blog due to an issue with story ratings, Cia did a re-run on Monday of her review of the Signature Author Background story, Joined by Blood. If you haven't read the story, why not pop by the blog and see if it might interest you. If yo

Rip Jack Scribe

Rest in Peace   It recently came to our attention that long time member and Classic Author, Jack Scribe passed away earlier this year. Jack joined Gay Authors in June 2006 and since then has posted 19 stories, including the popular Splash Trilogy as well as the Las Vegas Trilogy. Not only was he a popular author on-site, but many members considered him a friend. He will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace, Jack.

Say a little prayer

Real life has become a bit hard. My father is in the hospital and things are rough. Don't want to go into detail. Just asking if you can spare a prayer or two for him and I it would be greatly appreciated.

NaNoWriMo and Fundraising

I'm doing it again! November is almost here, and I will be participating in NaNoWriMo once more. Last year, I won with Nemesis 2 (which, as many of you are aware, still isn't quite finished; I'm in the editing and rewriting stage and totally stuck, but I'm sure it'll come). This year, I will be working on the detective novel I've been planning for some months now. I'm really excited for it, which is awesome, as I don't get really excited about things very often these days.   Now, it ju

I Can't Believe That This Happened In Canada

I am really in shock of the current events of today in Ottawa in our Nations Capital and on Monday in Montreal. I guess I always knew that this one day may have come, but still, it doesn't lessen the deep sense regret that our lives will be changing going forward.   I will try to sum up the events of the past 3 days, based on the latest news reports and the just finished speech from our Prime Minister Steven Harper.   On Monday, two Canadian Armed Forces members, one in uniform, one not, wer

Absence and Life

First of all, hope all of you are doing great and life is going well for you. I miss being here everyday. It's my enjoyment. But, life took a sudden turn and I've had to focus on day to day real life, supporting family. I know I don't need to explain most of it, but I just wanted all of you to know that GA is still my happy place although I've not had a lot of time to spend here lately.   Still, no promises for tomorrow, but hopefully I can soon direct more of my time to GA and my duties he

Current Reads- "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "Me Before You"

I just got finished with two books, very different, but very enjoyable reads.   The first was The Wolf Of Wall Street by Jordan Belfort, where he details his experiences as the leader of the circus that was his stockbroker firm Stratton Oakmont during the heady days of the 1990's economic boom. Its 500 pages and pretty dense, and it took me awhile to read...I started back in August, took a break until a couple weeks ago, and then go to the end. It was a pretty eye-opening read, dealing in a wo

Some General Observations

i like to think I am like most people. i am a social animal, someone who likes to talk, read, observe life. I try not to force my opinions on others, like to hear the good and the bad, the good to feel better, the bad so it is shared and made a little easier.   From Facebook and real life I see enough anger and lashing out at others. I try never to do that. You'll find I post a lot of Peanuts, Garfield, and recipes. I make Happy Birthday comments, congrats on the good news, and offer condolenc

Lost Toys

Very seldom I have much to say, but twice in one day? I do go on!   Sending a note to AC Benus just now reminded me of some of the fun things from childhood--things which due to an over-protective government now, kids will no longer be able to experience. Our children are being robbed of adventurous times and attempts to learn confidence by a schizophrenic society: overly-permissive in some areas, overly-protective in things which should not concern them.   For those who grew up before 1980,

A Tough Weekend

Okay, first off, thanks for all the positive replies to my first entry! I must be getting sentimental in my old age, but it means a lot to me that those who are/have been perfect strangers can find something in my scribblings to comment on. I'm not the sort of person who stands out in a crowd, and don't want to. I let others be the centers of attention while I sit back and watch--not from detachment or lack of interest--but because it's who I am.   Last year I found a copy of my high-school ye

Wow, what a week! This week was supposed to be Signature Week, but due to the situation regarding Google Adsense, Signature Week was put on pause and moved to next week. As a reminder of what I'm talking about, on Monday, our Signature review was taken over part way through the day to feature an important site notice regarding ratings being given to stories. GayAuthors was dinged by Google Adsense for a story that was rated as Everyone but had content that was considered to be unacceptable on pa

Addendum to Methodwriter's Class of 2005

Methodwriter keeps excellent lists of popular songs of yester years in his blogs. If you haven't read them, please do. They're often good choices that reflect the period those songs were first performed. This list is an addendum to his latest list: The Class of 2005 Playlist- We're Here, We're Alive, We're the Class of '05!   Anyways, here are my additions (mostly alternatives and punks). Most of them are from around 2005 but not all (ones in parenthesis are recommended songs that may fall ou

COINCIDENTAL or something Beyond Me?!

I've Known. I've always known. I would say something and it'll happenen. Id think of a movie that's never played on tv or that hasn't played in a long time and the next day I see the add that it's playing. Sometimes while I type the very word is being spoken on tv.   But these are small occurrences.
