It's that time again, time to take a look back at what happened this week in the GA News Blog. Before I get to that though, i want to remind everyone that Tuesday is the last day to send your story to the Anthology Proof Team. At the moment we've only received 5 entries. Now, lets see what happened this past week in the blog.   The CSR discussion for Pierced by JVaughn took place on Monday.   Tech Tuesdays came back on Tuesday to tell us about how the new software upgrade is going to deal wi

Now, lets see what happened in the blog this past week.   On Monday Cia provided a review for Dangerous Impulses by Greg_A.

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. Let's get you out of these wet clothes."   This past week was a week to feature Carl Holiday! On Monday we

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Just a reminder that there's less than a month left to get your Spring Anthology entries in to the Anthology Proof team (23 days to be exact)!

If not, now's your chance as on Monday, Cia announced that Pierced was this month's CSR Book Club choice.

I hope everybody had a great weekend. I can't believe it's Sunday already, which means it's time to look over the week and recap what was posted in the GA News Blog as well as what our promoted authors were up to. Before I get to that, I'd appreciate it if everyone would take just a minute to answer the poll questions. Also, don't forget tomorrow is the discussion day for the CSR book club!   For our Featured Story, Timothy M. provided us with a review of JWolf's story "The English Year".

I hope everyone has had a great week so far. It's still hard to believe that we're in a new year, 2014 seemed to go by so quickly! It's been a busy week here in the blog and in case anyone missed a post throughout the weeks, it's time to take a brief look at what happened this past week.   Cia joined us on Monday to announce the first CSR choice for the year.

Out with the old and in with the new!!! No I'm not referring to Renee and myself but the passing of 2014 and now on our way into 2015. Renee is taking a much deserved vacation or she is recovering from a massive hangover from New Year's Eve. I'll let you all decide   We had a busy week on Blog for the end of the year and into the new one.   Monday was a chance for Cia to bring us the CSR Discussion Day with Delores Esteban. Not only did they discuss Delores' story Space Pioneer, but also g

First off, I want to give a big Thank You to Cia for handling the blog for me this week, much appreciated, but I'm back and we have a lot to look at. However, there's something that needs to be addressed before we look back at this week's postings. As many might remember, the authors here at Gay Authors reached a milestone of 100 Million words! To celebrate, we decided to run a couple of contests. Thank you to everyone who participated, but now it's time to announce the winners, you will be cont

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.

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
