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 authors for contributing to the Gay Authors Anthology, and to the editors and beta-readers, without whom the stories wouldn't be the same.
