February C S R Feature: Harry Potter Fan-Fic By Myr

You might have seen his tech updates here in the site blog, or talked about video games in the Lounge, or just know the name of the all-powerful Myr. But it's been a while since members and readers have gotten a look at the man behind the magic that is GayAuthors. A lot of the content on GA is original, but we have a fanfiction category and part of that is Harry Potter fanfic, and Myr has several. You get to pick and choose which ones you'd like to read for this month's CSR feature. Don't forge

How fast the year has already seemed to go! Hopefully you found the time to enjoy Mikiesboy's story, The Pledge.

Grammar Rodeo #10

I hope everyone has had a great month so far. It's been a while since we had a Grammar Rodeo from Cia, but it's back! Thank you, Cia for providing us with another great writing tip!   The Structure of a Sentence   Okay, so maybe this seems intuitive. After all, we all write sentences every day, right?
