Weekly Wrap Up (Dec 10 - Dec 16)

I hope everyone has had a great week so far!  If you haven't already done so, please check out Myr's announcement about the Birthday Policy Change. If you find yourself feeling like you're going in circles, and that you can't seem to get 100% complete, check to see if you've selected a favorite genre! Trust me, that kept me at 67% until I realized what I didn't do!  Now, let's see what happened this week!     Contests 2018 Summer Novella Anthology: Summer - Due April 15th,

Ask An Author 2.0 - #2

Welcome back to the new Ask An Author 2.0. Just a quick note that @Carlos Hazday has agreed to take over the Ask An Author feature, so please send your questions to him. I've already sent him the questions and answers that were sent to me. Now, I'll turn it over to Carlos. Renee has to be one of the busiest members on GA, so I’m stepping in and trying to help her a bit by taking on the Ask an Author monthly feature. I’ll remind you the questions come from you, not me or the staff. If there

December & January C S R Feature

That's right! Your eyes have not deceived you. This month the last Monday is Christmas, and New Year's is a Monday as well. There are other posts we're going to feature those days, so I thought I'd do something a little different these two months for our Can't Stop Reading selection(s). There are so many stories, there's sure to be a favorite for everyone to choose and share with each other!  In honor of the holidays, you can use the Advanced Search to find any story with "Christmas"

November C S R Discussion Day: Street Life by Graeme

Did you have a chance to read Graeme's short story, Street Life? This was originally posted as part of the 2008 spring anthology, and it's an emotional journey of surprisingly short length but with great impact. Make sure you share your thoughts below, but of course, first we have my interview with Graeme!   What’s the best part of living in Australia? Checks to see if Tourism Australia has sent me a cheque for advertising. Hmm…nothing so far… Definitely the people and cultu

Sorry for the late Weekly Wrap Up, kind of fell asleep last night without doing it. A huge thank you to @wildone for taking over the Weekly Wrap Up while I was away.

Wow, another week in the bag! I know a lot of our American friends are busy getting ready for US Thanksgiving this coming week, but lets take a look back at the GA News Blog for the past week and see if there is something that you are thankful for early .   On Monday, Renee brought us a review by @Puppilull for the Feature Story this week; Personal Banking by @Refugium.  Good comments and feedback to entice you to take on another story to read.   Wednesday, Renee brought us

Featured Story: Personal Banking

Well, it's the start of a new week, and for today's schedule, we're bringing you Puppilull's review of Personal Banking by Refugium. Featured story days are a great way to highlight one of the many stories that can be found in GA Stories. With so many stories, it's easy for a single story to get lost in the shuffle. If you're reading a story that you would like to do a blog review and bring attention to, PM me (Renee). Now, onto the review. Hopefully you enjoy Puppilull's review enough to go che

Another week has passed here at the GA News Blog and in the true fashion of not having Renee here, I forgot to feature our Friday Weekly Prompts. Many of you got to see it, but apologies to you who did not. Luckily you can still see it here and participate during the week. Lots going on and lots of new chapters from our Signature/Promising and all authors on site as well!   On Monday,  Cia introduced us to the November Can't Stop Reading feature.

November's C S R Feature: Street Life by Graeme

November is here, and this month I wanted to feature something different. There are a lot of stories on the site with themes that involve some heavy subjects that can really make you think, but one of the best of those is an older story that many current readers probably haven't found since it was posted for a 2008 anthology themed "Living in the Shadows".   Street Life by Graeme   Length: 16,661   Description: *Reader warning* This story does contain mature th

Ask an Author 2.0 - #1

I've had quite a few messages asking about the return of Ask An Author, so here it is: Ask An Author 2.0. It won't be exactly like Dark always did it, but hopefully you enjoy getting the answers you've asked just as much as in the past. One major difference is, at least to start, we're only going to look at two authors at a time. Without further ado, here's the first Ask An Author 2.0.  Today we're going to hear from Hudson Bartholomew and Timothy M. The first author for today is Hudson Ba

How fast these months go! Is it nearly Halloween where you live? Are you ready for some tricks or treats? Or maybe you celebrate All Hallow's Eve another way? Or... maybe the whole thing freaks you out, and you'd rather read a story set firmly in the present? Maybe a little second-chance? If so, I hope you enjoyed Mitchelll's Mr. Brightside!

Being the start of a new week, Monday's are also a good time to take a look at some of the different stories that can be found on Gay Authors. With so many great works, it can be easy to overlook one and Monday's provide an opportunity for us to help make one of them stand out and maybe catch your interest.

For October, the Classic Author feature is another oldie but goodie, Working it Out by Don H. This story was actually what drew me to the site, and I have to echo a lot of Myr's sentiments on why he chose Don's story to feature! And if those endorsements aren't enough, check out some other reviews left by fans in the feature below.

Thought I'd take a quick second to tell y'all that I'll see ya in a week (or a little over a week) as this girl is heading out for GRL (GayRomLit) as a Supporting Author this week. I won't be on GA much, if at all, so if you message me I most likely won't answer right away, and it might have to wait until I get back.
