Weekly Wrap Up!

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

Csr Discussion Day; Tears Of The Neko By Craftingmom

I can't believe November is almost over! This day crept up on me and then hit with a 'Hey!!' bang just yesterday, lol. This month we featured Tears of the Neko by Craftingmom. She's given me a great interview with a lot of interesting answers (I don't remember her working at the CIA! ) so read on. Plus she asks for some input so make sure you leave comments and questions for her, because Craftingmom has also agreed to come 'live chat' on the blog for a Q&A session from 1-3 EST!   Te

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

Premium Tuesday: Ice Fairy 3

Premium Tuesday is a great day to look at some of the stories available in the Premium section of Gay Authors. Today we're looking at Stephanie L Danielson's story Ice Fairy 3. I'd also like to note that after today, we'll be taking a bit of a break from the Premium Tuesday posts, but they'll return after after the forum updates have been completed. Don't worry, we'll still have a Tuesday post. Until Premium Tuesday returns, Myr will be taking over Tuesday's for Tech Tuesday! Now, let's take a l

Featured Story: Imprint

One of the great things about starting a new week is bringing attention to a story that might go unnoticed amongst the nearly 3500 stories posted on Gay Authors. This week, faxity has supplied us with a review of an in process story called "Imprint", written by Hermit in the Cave. Feel free to share your thoughts as well, and if you aren't already reading it, maybe faxity's review will make you want to start! Enjoy! Imprint by Hermit in the Cave Author   Reviewer: faxity

Premium Tuesday: Displacement

For those who are new to the GA News Blog, Tuesday's are the day when I share a little information about one of our Premium Stories. While Gay Authors is free to it's members, it's not free to run. One of the ways GA keeps the site running is by the help from members who purchase a Premium Subscription. What do you get when you purchase a Premium Subscription? You get access to the select few stories that are not available to the regular membership. One such story is "Displacement" by dkstories.

Premium Tuesday: ~The Life Of Him~

Gay Authors has always managed to remain free to it's members, one of the ways that it has managed to do so is through it's Premium Subscribers. Members choose to help support the site and keep it going by purchasing Premium Content which consists of a number of stories that are only available on the site by purchasing Premium. There are many great stories to be found in the Premium section, one of which is "The Life of Him" by SidLove.   ~The Life of Him~ by SidLove   Au

Csr November: Tears Of The Neko By Craftingmom

November! The weather has definitely shifted for most people--either cold and rainy/snowy or warming up to hot, so you hopefully have plenty of reading time! I thought I'd feature a newer author to GA with the first novel she completed, and recently updated, on GA. Enjoy!!   Tears of the Neko by Craftingmom   Length: 76,473   Description: A younger brother buys his brother, the Duke and heir to the throne, a surprising gift for his brother's birthday--a young, very skittish ne

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

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.

Rip Jack Scribe

Rest in Peace   It recently came to our attention that long time member and Classic Author, Jack Scribe passed away earlier this year. Jack joined Gay Authors in June 2006 and since then has posted 19 stories, including the popular Splash Trilogy as well as the Las Vegas Trilogy. Not only was he a popular author on-site, but many members considered him a friend. He will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace, Jack.

In honor of this month's creepy critters theme, we featured Renee Stevens' story, Joined by Blood, with our October Signature Background. Who doesn't like vampires, right?

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

Featured Story: Joined By Blood By Renee Stevens

It's a rerun! Due to the sudden alert of stories being rated incorrectly and Google being a PiTA, (read more here) we preempted a lot of the blog last week. So, to be fair, Renee gets her feature day back again!   Something a little different this week for the review for Renee Steven's featured story, cause I like being different, lol. Most of the time a reader would be the one to do the review, but this time, I'm going to do it. I had the great pleasure to be a beta reader/editor for this st

In honor of the season, I thought this month we'd do something a little different! Anthologies are a great chance to sample authors' writing. It's also fun to see how they twist the themes into original pieces. For this October CSR, I thought I'd feature some of the creatures we often imagine lurking about the shadows.   Vampires!
