Weekly Wrap Up!

Did everyone have a great weekend? The deadline for submission to the 2014 Winter Anthology has passed by, so I hope everyone was able to get their anthology stories turned in. I've been working on getting the anthology prep done, so keep an eye out in the coming days for the anthology to go live! Also, just a reminder to all the authors participating in the anthology, please check the Anthology Double Check thread to ensure your story is listed! Now, let's see what happened this week in the GA

I hope everyone had a great week! For those that celebrated on Thursday, I hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving! If you went shopping on Friday, I hope you made it out of the stores safely! It was a very busy week in the GA News Blog, but before we get to that, I have a brief reminder, though you'll get a second one later in the wrap up. The deadline for the 2014 Winter Anthology: Chain Reaction is quickly approaching. Stories must be received by the Anthology Proof Team by the end of the day

I hope everyone has had a great week. It's almost time for another week to start, but before that happens, let's take a look at what happened this week in the GA News Blog.   We started out Monday by looking at "Imprint" by Hermit in the Cave. We had a wonderful review provided to us by Faxity and based upon some of the comments, "Imprint" has been added to many members' reading lists! Check out the review and see if maybe you should be adding it to yours!   Tuesday was our Premium Tuesday p

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

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

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

Renee has allowed me to learn how to do the Weekly Wrap Up this week as she will soon be taking some much deserved time off. Under her expert tutelage I hope I have done this right. Any errors are entirely my fault, but if you want to air your disappointments about my job, make sure to email Renee at renee@gayauthors.org.   Reminder: Today's reminder has a special meaning to a lot of us here at GA.

Being as there was no weekly wrap up last week, we'll be looking back at the last two weeks in this edition of the blog.   On Monday, the 4th of August, and the first Monday of the month, Cia announced this month's choice for the CSR Book Club. Her choice for August is, In The Depths of Despair by InTheMindOfSunshine. The discussion day will take place on the 25th, so there's still time to read it if you haven't already done so!   On the following Tuesday, we had our weekly Premium Tuesday p
