Update on the story development aka WL's research notes

This story is weird...not sure in a good or bad way. The premise is simple- It's a Deuteragonist plot.  My first protagonist is Prince Zhu Cilang, the last crown prince of the Ming Dynasty (1629-1644), he mysteriously disappeared after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, most likely murdered by either rebel troops or under the orders of Manchurian (invading Qing forces), who had occupied Beijing. He's a fascinating figure in Chinese history akin to the legendary French Dauphin of Louis

Weekly Wrap Up (May 31 - Jun. 6)

I want to get into the question of the week right away   I loved the Weekly Prompts this week from Aditus! So much so that I'm going to borrow his question  Do you listen to music, and if you do, what do you prefer? Radio, streaming, playlists, one person said satellite TV/ Maybe someone out there has an 8-track or cassette player that they haven't retired. If you have an 8 track, I honestly don't believe there is a 8 track tape that has survived this long  For you younger folks, look it up

Blades of Ashes Character List

I'm jumping in here to create a character list for my story, Blades of Ashes (BOA). It's turned into a bit of an epic project, which was unexpected, but I'll keep going. I should add this character list to help track everyone from each arc. BOA is written in arcs, with a different case developing in each arc. Characters may drop off and return as each arc develops; others may only appear in a particular arc to serve the purpose of the case and never appear again. It's a quest, hehehe. The m

Video Killed the Radio Star?

They played this song on the radio while I was driving to work. It made me think. Is anyone but me still listening to the radio, or do you prefer to stream your favorite playlists, podcasts, or audiobooks? I like the radio in the morning. I catch up on the news, good or bad, and the local weather report, and I get to hear new or very old songs. This week's prompts have been inspired by the aforementioned song. PT Prompt #340 You or your main character are/is waiting by a r

June CSR Feature: FrankD's Fourth Down: Second Quarter

Well, we're hitting the halfway point of the year, so why not a story that literally mentions a halfway point of something? Some might also consider parenthood a halfway point in our lives in adulthood, between youth and middle age (I'm not old just because my children are grown!)  Here's this month's feature for you to enjoy, rated 5 stars with several recommendations as well!  Fourth Down: Second Quarter by @FrankD Length: 38,744 Description: Hunter and Dale are all set for

Gay Authors - The Next Update and Survey Discussion

What We’re Hearing from the Community Survey — and Where Gay Authors Is Going Next First, thank you. We asked members to take time out of their day to tell us what is working, what is frustrating, and what would make Gay Authors better. Many of you did exactly that. We have heard from daily readers, occasional visitors, authors, editors, Premium members, longtime community members, and people who mostly enjoy the site quietly in the background. That range of feedback matters. Gay

Where to?

Last week, I threw together a random list of words, and @chris191070 came up with a story that will make you react like this:  Time-traveling capybaras... be sure to check it out!  Now, on to this week's prompt.  I decided to use another picture as a prompt.  We're heading into summer, which means time to travel for a lot of people.  This picture kind of spoke to me.  Is the person who packed this mess of a suitcase going on a vacation?  Work trip?  Kicked out of their residence
