Featured Story: Matteo Went Ahead

Matteo Went Ahead by Aditus Reviewer: chris191070 Status: Complete Word Count: 1,096 This short semi autobiographic story featured in the In To Deep Anthology 2024. This is a very short tale where we find the author drawing on true life experiences. I'd suggest having tissues available, as this story whilst only 1000 words really packs a punch. We discover what it's like to lose a parent, which will have many of us thinking about what the future may hold. A re

Weekly Wrap Up (Nov.3 - Nov. 9)

Or            No matter who you prefer, Daffy or Sylvester, they both have what's on my mind! I'm at a loss on what to expect of late. Snow one day and cold temps for 3 or 4 days, then mild summer days (20 C) the next few. Rinse, Repeat and carry on. Luckily the snow tires are on! So, tell me how beautiful it is where you are. Tell me it is sunny and 80 in Florida, or California! Let me dream   Speaking of which, the past two winters I escaped in January to Hawaii. This year,

Status Updates - Discontinued

Invision Community 5.0, which will be released soon, has decided to discontinue several features. One of those features on the front-facing part of the software was Status Updating posting from your profile. We are shutting off the feature to get ready for future upgrades.  With the next release of this software version, they will start nagging us to do so, and I don't need more nags in my life. I have opened a new forum to allow for status and chatty content. https://gayauthors.org/fo

Bad Words

You know exactly which words I mean: *@%#*,*@%#*, and oh yes, that too. We avoid those in polite company or when little ones are around, but sometimes it’s very difficult not to use them. Fortunately, there are several proven methods to work around the problem. # - 249 Your main character’s sister visits with her five and three-year-old kids. She is famous for her creativity in avoiding bad words. Write an epic rant about her new boss. (Without using bad words of course.)

Prompt Team Event 2024

The Prompt Team - myself, @Cole Matthews, and @Aditus thought it would be fun to have an event highlighting GA prompts.  Participants will have their prompt responses featured in the December 5th prompt blog.     To participate: PM one of the Prompt Team members.  We will assign you a random prompt from our prompt bank.  Prompt responses may be any length, but if they are below 1,000 words, then they must be part of a collection.  If they are 1,000 words or more, then they m

Ask An Author 3.0 #39

Can anyone guess how many Swiffer dusters I needed to clean this blog? Oooo gurl, she was dusty! Even my fingers don't know what to type here. Have I lost my touch to interview our fellow authors? Surely not, but good thing I had a lovely chat with @chris191070 before this year's Anthology event started! All praise the Ask An Author piggy bank.  In case y'all forgot how Ask An Author works, I have the wonderful pleasure of interviewing an author on GA on behalf of an anonymous reader. With

November CSR Feature: Hustle by Talo Segura

It's November, can you believe it? Canada just had their Thanksgiving and this month the US has ours. Do other countries have this holiday, or ones similar to focus on family and giving thanks? Share that below, if you want! In the vein of the focus on family, I wanted to share a story with that same theme, but this is no fluffy and light story, so be warned! Sometimes family is all we can count on to get us through this painful journey life thrusts upon us. Hustle by @Talo Segura
