Today we would like to introduce you to two in progress stories added to GA Stories in the past few months, Eye of the Tiger is John Doe's third story on Gay Authors. Ugly Davey is EmDee's first.
Here is what a few of our readers have to say about them:
Eye of the Tiger by John Doe Romance/Fantasy Adventure reviewed by CassieQ
One of the things that interested me in Eye of Tiger is that it was a fantasy story, which is one of my favorite genres. But it was unlike any typical
Tip Tuesdays is being lead off with a short article written by one of the hardest working editors on the site, Sharon. In the future, on Tuesdays, you can look forward to writing, editing, site, or other tips that we think you may find useful. If you have something you would like to share, drop a PM and let me know.
Good for you! But take it from a veteran editor and reader, it takes more than the desire to put pen to paper. Or keys to screen. Trust me…it took me two days to write t

The
2010 GA Winter Anthology is now online!
The theme is "Haunted", but interestingly many authors have not gone with a supernatural theme.
We have a number of new anthology authors with this anthology, and some strong poetry from past contributors. Many of the stories are quite short, but we also have one of the longest anthology stories I've seen.
Take your time and enjoy the collection. Everyone is sure to be something that appeals to them.

The theme for the 2010 Fall Anthology is "No Going Back". Surprisingly, there are a significant number of science fiction and fantasy stories in this anthology. No so surprising, a number of authors have interpreted the theme as being related to marriage, which just shows that we still have a lot of romantics amongst our authors!
We also have what I believe is the first lesbian themed story in this anthology. Check it out, as it just goes to prove that when it comes to romance, we're all hum
The theme for the 2010 Summer Anthology is "Out of This World". While, given the theme, there are a lot of science fiction and fantasy stories, there are also many entries that have taken a different interpretation of the theme.
Have fun reading the stories (and one poem) everyone! Just remember to click on the feedback/discussion links at the bottom of each story to take you to the discussion threads in the forums so you can leave the author a comment.
A special thanks to all the author
I miss the old days! When, I was a kid at summer camp. The only possible question or one of two likely answers to any sentence that had kindle / kindling or rekindle in it, was and/or were:
Q - Got a match?
A 1 - Yes.
A 2 - No.
(To this day I still carry a match/lighter, just in case?)

The Forbidden Knowledge anthology is just about upon us...it will be fun to see how many of us guess just who our 'secret authors' are!
Here in Central Massachusetts, the center of the universe, we are experiencing high temps along with an outrageous humidity index; the combined effect will have "feel-like" temps hitting the triple digits...lasting through the Fourth of July!
I haven't put the AC in the window just yet; thanks to a bunch of mature trees and shading, the inside of the h
The concept of rekindle—the act of reviving a lost passion, a forgotten memory, or a dormant connection—is a powerful storytelling tool. It injects vital emotional stakes into a plot by forcing characters to confront their pasts, heal from trauma, or rediscover their core motivations, making the narrative deeply relatable and resonant.
Emotional Stakes and Character Arcs: Rekindling breathes life into stagnant or disillusioned characters. It acts as the bridge between a character's "before
Rekindle means to ignite or revive something (like a fire, passion, or relationship) anew. The word was formed in the late 16th century by combining the Latin derived prefix re- (meaning "again", "anew", or "back") with the verb kindle (meaning "to light a fire"). Initially, the word was used strictly in its literal sense of setting a physical fire back to life. However, its figurative use (to reawaken faded emotions, memories, or interests) has been popular since the late 1600s.
We've had timely rains this spring and June has not been too bad so far, but this coming week for my area is forecast to be toasty with temps 95F and above with heat indices in the triple digits through next weekend. The troubling part is that the overnight lows are to be near 80 F which doesn't provide much overnight cooling...AT least most of us have air conditioning and don't face what has happened in Europe this past week.
