Weekly Wrap Up!

ANNOUNCEMENT: We've heard your requests for more "Likes" and everyone has now had their ability to like content increased per day. To balance this, an author now needs a slightly higher reputation to have their stories no longer subject to the moderation queue.

 

We started our week with a great review by Daithi of Hosted Author Lugh's Binding. Binding is a Premium Content story, and we additionally talked about how Premium memberships help GayAuthors.org. Even being only available in Premium, this story has quite a following based on the large number of comments in the blog.

 

There are certain cliche'd traps that authors can tend to fall into, and Wednesday's writing tip from Libby Drew talks about them in The Writing on the Wall.

 

Speaking of traps - looks like comicfan is setting out bait to see who jump on the latest of his wonderful Writing Prompts. This week's prompts include using a list of words (including rain storm and chapel) or a scenario prompt that involves a shifter. Will you take his bait - I hope you do!

 

So - how was your week?

 

Anthology Announcements:

  • Fall Anthology: Pandora's Box - Due Sept 8th
  • Winter Anthology: Recipe for Disaster - Due Dec 8th

Glad to get an increase in the number of likes.  But I guess I have to read more of the new author stuff and like it so that the new authors can get through moderation.  

 

I just read:

Save Tonight by CassieQ, Book 1 of Summer Premium Anthology

 

And I want everyone to know that this story is wonderful.  I heartily recommend it to everyone.   If you have premium be sure to put it on your reading list.  

 

If you don't have premium, it's another reason why you ought to get it.

The likes issue, and the mod queue, is flexible for authors who have proven they can post properly, as in actually read the faq and follow it, and have been proven not to be a plagiarizer already. If a member is affected by the adjusted levels, they can contact me via PM.

It made me cry, Dave! And in only 5k, that's a true example of exemplary characterization.

I just re-read it, and I agree with DaddyDave and Cia - it's a wonderful story and yes, I shed a tear or two :)
