Weekly Update Weekly Wrap Up!
What a busy week. Did everyone catch the news that the Spring Anthology: It Wasn't Me is now live - we have some fantastic entries there!
So, we started the week with a review of Myr's fanfic Three Edged Sword. Andy021278's review was so good, I started reading the story. It's reviews like this that are so vital to the site - gives you a great flavor for the story so you can see if you want to go read more. And in this case, I personally say yes - more please!
We had two tips this week, a thoughtful one with good advice on Revisiting "On-Hold" Stories, by Renee Steven, and an extremely funny but contemplative piece that Myr found on English Joke / Writing Primer. If you find or write a great tip that you want to share, be sure to send it to me!
We changed the name of our Wednesday feature to Author Showcase so Monday's blogs will continue to be reviews of Hosted Author stories, and Wednesday's will be two reviews, one of which will be for one of our Promising Author's story. This week, K.C. did a really nice review of Comicfan's The Strange Life of Jonas Marks. Comicfan had started this as an anthology entry, and now his new story is a fuller development with six chapters already completed.
We also had a review by Kiltie69 of Billy Brat's Trials and Tribulations. As Kitte69 puts it, "I first started to read Trials after being asked, as a favour, to see what I thought of the first chapter, I was not disappointed and have gladly read each new chapter within a few hours of release."
This weeks writing prompts, thanks as always to the imaginative Comicfan have already spurred some authors to see where they can take them. Even if you've never written - try them out. You may find yourself going from a reader to author!
So - did you enjoy this week's blog entries? Send me any suggestions or comments please!

Look at your gallery and see if there are pictures you should trim. The more space you help to recover, the better GA runs for all of us. The deadline might be passed, but we still all need to keep the clutter down.
