    Weekly Wrap Up (Oct. 4 - Oct. 10)

    By wildone

    Happy Nadian Thanksgiving!!! 🦃  We do go a little wild up here in the Great White North. No, we are not covered in snow yet, but close     So since it is in the news here, I thought I would bring this up earlier than normal. Usually I talk about the dreaded, not to me, changing of the clocks for Daylight Savings Time. Well, why it is in the news, is that British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba have decided to do away with falling back and staying on Daylight Savings Time. Sas

Writing Prompts #168 & #169

Is it just me or does it seem like Friday's just never end? I mean really, you get looking so forward to the weekend and there is just this one little hurdle in your path, Friday. Last day of work (for the lucky ones), last day of school, and just anything else that ends on Friday and gives a two day break. Well, to help it be a little easier to make it over that hurdle, we've got two new prompts for you from our Prompt Guru: Comicfan. Why not take a minute and try one of them out? Just think, b

Writing Tip: Working With Your Beta Reader

Today we're bringing you another piece that has been written by Dark about how to work with your beta reader. He was even kind enough to share some of the suggestions made by his beta readers and his fixes or his reasoning. Enjoy! Working with your Beta Reader by Dark   When I first came to GA, I had no beta. After getting to know some of the folks here, advertising, and doing some snooping around, I started working with some folks as betas. So, now that I have a beta, what

We constantly need volunteers to help review stories for our Authors, Promising Authors, and Hosted Authors for our weekly features.   We know we have great readers on this site, the numbers Trebs posted last week for the reviews in GA.

Anniversary Week - Weekly Update!

Did everyone enjoy Anniversary Week?   We started the week with a review by Cia of Hosted Author Myr's Terran Confederation - Jeremiah. See, not only does he bring us all this fantastic website for the past ten years, he writes too!   For our Toss Up Tuesday, we then continued with an interview with Myr!   Wednesday, we had a bit of a change up and instead of our usual reviews, we had some thoughts from one of the other original GayAuthors.org authors - Comicality. It was a great read to

This isn't the first time we've celebrated the beginnings of GayAuthors.org (nor will it be the last).

Gay Authors 10th Anniversary Special Anthology: Secrets Can Kill NOW LIVE!

First off, I would like to wish GA a happy 10th Anniversary and a special thanks to Myr for creating GayAuthors.org in the first place! I just happen to be one of those crazy straight women (or as Myr calls me: Crazy Mountain Lady) that Myr mentioned in his interview, but I am so glad to have a place to post my stories where I know they are enjoyed. As most everyone should know by now, we released the 2012 Fall Anthology: Friends and Enemies just a few short days ago. I hope everyone has enjo

Author Showcase - Thoughts From Comicality

With Anniversary week in full swing, we're making a substitute for this week's Author Showcase and instead of reviews of two GA Authors, one of them a Promising Author - this week, we're thrilled to offer this piece from one of the first GayAuthors.org authors, Comicality. Radiant Renee Stevens reached out to Comicality, and wrote the intro for this. We hope you enjoy!       We are bringing you something that was written from the heart. We all know what GA means to us and so I wanted to see

Writing Tip: Why A Beta?

We have a great tip below, written by our own Dark on "Why a Beta?". But before we launch into this tip, Podiumdavis recently approached Renee and I on another of his wonderful compilations. For this one, instead of privately gathering interviews and/or questions and pulling them together, the thought is to put out the inquiry and invite anyone interested to submit their responses privately to Podiumdavis. Then in a short bit, we'll post the best ones (and as usual, if there is enough and the an

Featured Story: A Day In A Life Of Misery / Bovian Image

I absolutely love the Wednesday blog. It gives us a chance to bring some recognition to the wonderful authors that can be found here at GA. Today, we're bringing you two more stories. We hope that you'll take a look at them and see if just maybe they are something you might enjoy. The first review we're bringing you is one done by yours truly or, as Trebs would say, the Radiant Renee Stevens (rolls eyes) of a story by Promising Author: Skylights called "A Day in a Life of Misery."

Featured Story: For The Love

While I realize that we recently featured Hosted Author C James' Circumnavigation, after reading this great review by Wildone, I was all for featuring it this week - and it seems appropriate, since few can match our beloved Goat in his labors to diligently to turn out one wonderful tale after another for his readers here on GayAuthors. So with good Labor Day wishes to all (should this be Labor Day for you), here is Wildone's excellent (and cliffhanger-free), review:   For the Love

If you did see it, but didn't see his late posted note, I want to repeat what he said - this announcement does NOT mean that GA is switching to Pay only. GA will always have the majority of content free, as long as Myr runs it.   Also - we now have only 2 days left for our FALL Anthology entries. The "Friends and Enemies" anthology is due Sept
