He's baaacccckkk! Heh - this is my first Weekly Update in seven weeks, but as I mentioned in our Wednesday blog, I've been able to use this time to deal with a number of things and now that I have a handle on my offline life, I can put in a bit more time to this wonderful online community.

So - what has been happening around here? Well, as is usual for the last Monday of the month, we had the Discussion Day for our Can't Stop Reading book club, where May's reads were four Reader's Choice Award winning entries from our Anthologies. Check it out and there is still time to recommend a book for next month's CSR selection!

Wednesday, in addition to "The Return of the Trebs", I also announced a Restoration Project - something that I am going to start working on but also need YOUR help. There are some stories I've come across myself that show as complete, but when we made the transition a few years back into the new GA.Stories, some of those stories didn't totally get re-posted. If you find any OTHER stories that you know have missing chapters, or are mislabeled ("In progress" vs "Complete"), send me a PM and I'll work to make the system more accurate.

Thanks to the ever inventive mind of Comicfan, we ended our week as usual with two new writing prompts, Prompt 234 on Insomnia and Prompt 235 with a list of words (including "one red shoe"). I know the wheels are churning on these and can't wait to see what people come up with - and be sure to share your prompt respose with the community in the Writing Prompts forum! What's that you say? There was more? Of course there was - we also got a very interesting response from PMDacey to Prompt 233. I'd love to know more of Tom's life (and hopefully Wallace's too)... hint, hint
