Sorry for the lateness of the prompts today. I completely spaced that it was prompt day and then a lot of things happened that kept me from posting them earlier (including forgetting to hit publish earlier). So here they are, and just remember, prompt responses can be posted in GA Stories, but if they are under 1,000 words, they have to be posted as part of a collection.

February C S R Discussion Day: Harry Potter Fanfic By Myr

February has come and gone, and just where did the time go? I have no idea, personally. It feels like Christmas ended just yesterday.

Check out my interview with Myr, and make sure you share your thoughts in the comments.   Describe your perfect writing space. My perfect writing space is someplac

Secret Admirer Special Review

One year ago, the thirteen stories written for the Secret Admirer Contest posted in time for Valentine’s Day. Like the regular GA Anthologies, the contest let authors try their hand at short stories within a common theme. But in this case readers could vote for the story they liked best - all without knowing who the author was.   After the contest there was a guessing game about who wrote each story.
