    By Valkyrie

    Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot in the days of auld lang syne?   To answer the question in the song - no, old acquaintance should never be forgotten, especially when they were a force named Carlos Hazday.  It's hard to believe our friend has been gone for over a year now.  Based on the stories submitted for this tribute, it's clear that his influence lives on.  So, let's raise a glass and toast to auld lang syne and fond memories of

Second Chance Prompts #485 & #491

Hey Y'all! Well, the last set of second chance prompts didn't seem to inspire anyone, so we're going to try again. Instead of doing four second chance prompts, this week I'm just going to focus on two. If you decide to tackle one of these prompts, make sure you share it in the thread. Prompt #485 - Creative It was a late night and you were driving home from work. You go to stop at the light, but your brakes fail, and slip through uncommon traffic and crash into the woods.

Featured Story: Shapeshifter

Well, it's the start of a new week, and for today's schedule, we're bringing you Puppilull's review of Shapeshifter by metajinx. 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.

Please join us in congratulating Ronyx on becoming GA's newest Classic Author! Ronyx has been writing and posting stories for a decade, but it has just been in the last year that he started posting some of his amazing stories from his own website, The Mustard Jar, here at Gay Authors. I've had the privilege of speaking with Ronyx a few times about his writing. He told me his goal is to reach that one lonely gay teen needing to hear that it's okay to be gay.

Happy October! This month we have an epic-length story, so get ready to spend all your spare time reading in order to be ready to discuss Dayne Mora's Wolf Like Me on Halloween. See the theme? Well, there are no werewolves in the story (sorry!) but there might be some nibbling. You'll have to read the story to find out! Due to the length of the story, don't feel like you have to complete it to come comment. I will encourage anyone doing specific comments to the story to use the spoiler code.

Second Chance Prompts #475, #477, #479, & #483

Occasionally I like to take a look in the prompt forum and see what prompts are lonely without any responses. Most of these are creative prompts. I re-feature these prompts and give them a second chance to be noticed. For the next couple of months, every other week is going to feature second chance prompts. The other weeks will give new prompts for you to take a stab at. Here's this week's second chance prompts, don't forget to share your links in the appropriate thread!!!! (I'll even link them

Today we're featuring his chosen excerpt.   Cole says... This excerpt gives you a glimpse at the tone and character of the story. It's a comedy, a farce really, and also gives the reader some of Roy's attributes. This segment also shows how Roy may not think he's ready to date, but fate really doesn't care
