Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 18 - Sept. 24)

3 down and 1 to go!! We are getting there! Before you start to feel withdrawals from not having any more new anthology entries, rest assured that there was enough of them for the Anthology - Anniversary that there will be a fourth and final release next Thursday for all of you   What else is new you ask (okay, maybe you didn't )  Well Thursday was not only the release of round 3, but it also was the kick off off the Fall Equinox up here in the Northern Hemisphere and the Spring Equinox in

It is 11:59 in my time zone 🥸 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 …….. HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE 🥳🥳🥳🥳 Usually I give everyone a heads up so they can buy me pressies, usually to no avail, but this year I’m doing the whole reverse psychology thing 😏 So enough with the fake news and onto the real news.    Can you believe it is only 7 days to get your Anthology in😲, Don't fret if you waited to last minute. Maybe you like the pressure of a tight deadline, yet it is still not too late to meet it. To t

So what is up in your neck of the woods?  I mean weather related. I know that there is hurricane after hurricane battering the SE US, I know the West of the US is on fire, we have smoke and breathing advisories up here in Canadia 😮 I know it has been a early fall for some areas. What is happening over in Europe and Asia right about now? Then we can ask for a weather update from the South Americans, Africans  and Australians for the southern peeps who are transitioning to spring. Did I hear

Good Morning, day, evening, night or everything in between. We are a bit late today for the simple fact that I do not know what day it is anymore  I mean, I don't usually work on Saturdays and Sundays, but for some reason I didn't recognize yesterday was Saturday. I do think I know the reason why  In four days I will be older than dirt  I'm so old that I think I forgot to tell everyone ahead of time where to send my birthday presents. Oh wait, I guess I did .

I would be remiss if I didn't mention at the start of the Wrap Up about the 2nd round of the GA Anniversary Anthology 😮 It is more a fear of @Valkyrie. Even without her threats and promises of a world of hurt, I would have done it anyways   So about those stories, why not give us an update on how you are doing? Did you get through all of Round 1. Have you got through Round 2 already ? Have you liked and left a chapter comment or story comment? I know our authors really appreciate everyone's

Hey 😀 Hey 😊 Okay I now I have got my Heartstopper Season 2 out of me 😜 It is time for me use the oft not used word of remiss, which I would be guilty of if I didn’t remind y’all, or is it ya’ll, that you have 2 WEEKS TO GET YOUR LEAP OF FAITH ANTHOLOGY ENTRY IN!!! See the directions below. Now that that PSA is done, let’s look at what happened at the GA News Blog this past week Monday, everyone’s favourite day of the week. It was even better to wake up to the Review Tea

Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 1 - Sept. 7)

The first week of September has arrived and things are a changing! I've notice a bit of a uptick in the forums and stories and also feeling a change in the weather and length of days. I never understood how people who live closer to the equator have little to no deviation in the length of days. Just seems strange to me . Then the further you go south or north towards the poles, you get longer days/shorter nights and visa versa as the equinoxes are reached. But then again, it would be strange to

Weekly Wrap Up (Sept. 03 - Sept. 09)

Did you put away your whites? I boxed up my white jeans, my white joggers, my white cargos, my white shorts, my white undies, my white socks, my white shirts (dress, polo, t, and others), my white sneakers, and white jackets and even my white belt .  Now what am I talking about ? When I was growing up, the saying was you could not wear white after Labour Day. Where that came from, I have no clue. But being the fashionista that I am, I don't do any of it . Sort of a rebel with a cause .

Well I'm currently freezing to death with close to 0 C or 32 F weather in mid September . But that is nothing to what our members in the Carolina's and Georgia as well as our many members in the Philippines are going through. Here's hoping you are all safe and secure through these trying times   Shall we take a look at what happened over the past week?   Monday, Cia brought us a Story Review. i even heard that the author, K.C. is lurking around the site again

Wow, September is gone. How may days to Christmas? Maybe I will write a Christmas Tale to get everyone into the season     Please, if you are an author, read and reread Cia's Wednesday Blog Post as it has some really, really, really valuable information on how to protect your works on the internets!   To start of the week, Cia hosted the CSR Day for September:   Wednesday was the important day to learn about protecting your works on the internets:   The

Today is a day that I was not looking forward to If you look at the little pictures at the top of this blog, you will see who has posted in this blog, and how many times, I have been dreading this day for about six months, maybe more. I told Renee that it would be hard to surpass Trebs and move ahead of him on this blog. So who is Trebs? For those of you that have joined over the last five years here on GA, Trebs or Robert, was a Admin and on the board of CDEJR Services, he was

What to say this week?   Oh, I thought I would like to pass on my sincere thanks and appreciation to our LBO, aka Slytherin, who has some exciting changes coming up in her life and has stepped aside from the Site Moderation Team. Her participation and help with the behind the scenes work on the site has been a great contribution over the years! So, on behalf of the Site Staff and hopefully the membership, thanks LBO.   BTW, LBO stands for Little Blue One, not to be confused with the

So we had a bit lighter week here at the blog. It was a relief for me, I didn't have to get up at 3:30 AM EVERY morning to feature the blog of the day EVERY day     Actually Cia was up at 2 AM to write up the September Classic Author. When does she sleep?   Skip to Wednesday Cia slept in to 2:03 to give us the September Classic Author Excerpt   Friday, Cia brought us all this weeks Comicfan's Prompts of the Week:   Friday Comsie wrapped up the week wit

In case you haven't guessed it yet, Renee is still away . If she isn't back soon we might have to send out a search party. Both Cia and I are exhausted with picking up her slack   So here is what happened this past week.   Monday, we usually would have a story featured in the Featured Story blog. This week, Cia gave us some insight though a review by Aditus on Mikesboy's poetry for NaPoWriMo. This appeared to be a great success as there is 2 pages of comments left for the feature. It is go

Happy Sunday, y'all. I hope you all have had a great week so far. It was a busy week this past week, so make sure to check out any blog posts you missed. We had another CSR Discussion Day this week, along with the next "Improve & Encourage" critique feature, and the prompts. I think my favorite though, is the new contest announcement. If you've always wanted to publish, then make sure to check out our new novella contest. The grand prize is...we'll help launch the winning story as a self-pub

Hope everyone has had a wonderful week so far. It was a busy week here at Gay Authors, and not all of it was good. We had the unfortunate task of dealing with a plagiarizer. If you want to find out more, make sure you check out the blog post, Plagiarism Strikes Again, which also explains how to check online to see if your stories have been plagiarized elsewhere.

Hey all!  I hope you had a great week. It was a momentous week here at Gay Authors as we celebrated the 15 Year Anniversary of the start of Gay Authors. Curious as to how the site has changed over these many years? Check out the blog that Myr posted. In it, you'll find what many authors had to say about GA over the years. Some of the authors featured have been with GA from the start. Do you know who the first author (besides Myr) to be hosted was? You can find out by reading the blog! And just a

We are now into our first week of the Leap of Faith Anthology. Curious if you have read 1, 2 or more stories already? Do you have a favourite? Did once touch you in a different way (get you minds out of the gutter)? Did any surprise you? Just in case you didn't know or missed an odd mention  of the anthology , it stared posting this past Thursday with a BANG! and the first set of stories will now have the limelight for 4 more days. Then this upcoming Thursday, another set will be revealed

Those of you that still have or always have had daylight savings time, today is the day that it is okay to be late to work  So if you showed up for your 9:00 AM shift at 9:15 but forgot to set your clocks back, you are 45 minutes early  Let's just ignore the fact that most people use their phone for their alarm and phones automatically update on their own . So Thursday was the first of many big weeks here at GA! Did you get excited about the start of releasing of the Fall 2021  Anthologies
