Hope everybody had a great week and for those celebrating, hope you had a great holiday! It was another busy week this week at Gay Authors! Before we get into the recap of the week, a little reminder. The deadline for the 2013 Winter Anthology: Recipe for Disaster is fast approaching. The deadline of December 8th is for stories to be uploaded into GA Stories. Make sure to have your stories to me in plenty of time for the Anthology Editing Team to do a final proof read! Now, lets see about that recap!

 

On Monday we hosted the CSR Discussion for the November book club choice "The House Always Wins" by Andr0gene! We featured a review of the story and readers shared their own thoughts, including some of their favorite scenes. If you haven't already chimed in with your thoughts, there's still time.

 

We featured an Interview with Mann Ramblings for our Wednesday slot in the GA News Blog, but this time we did things just a little different. Not only did Mann answer the questions the interviewer asked, but he was kind enough to agree to participate in our FIRST EVER Blog Chat. Want to know more about Mann? Check out Wednesday's entry, he answered a lot of questions to help us get to know the Mann behind the stories!

 

We ended the week in our usual way, with our Prompt Me feature. Comicfan provided us with a new set of prompts this week, including a first line prompt and a prompt about a birthday gift. Unfortunately we didn't have any takers last week so there was no featured prompt response, but hopefully next week you'll get to read someone's response to this week's prompts!

The interview with Mann was cool, but was it announced before the blog went up? Because if so I missed it, but I still like reading through what everyone posted.  Oh well, I guess I'll have to hunt Mann down and tickle the answers to my most burning questions out of him :P

No, it wasn't announced prior to the blog going live.  We generally don't give sneak peeks into the blog content because things can change up until the blog actually goes live, so we'd hate to announce it and then have to cancel it.  The blog went live at 2am so it was up for the majority of the day of the blog chat and I did a couple of status updates pointing to the blog and announcing the blog chat.

Me missed blog chat as me have had no internet :(    Though midnight here in London would have been far too late in the day (erm . . . night) for me to participate live.

 

The idea sounds great, and hopefully I'll participate in the next one (just hoping it's slightly earlier, say around 5pm EST).

 

That's one of the things I do love with this site - always looking for new things to try.  Keep it up.

I can definitely see what I can do, but I can't guarantee anything.  The interviewee gets to pick the time as it has to be a time that they will be around.  However, for anyone unable to be present at the time of the blog chat, they can post their questions earlier, they don't have to wait until the time of the actual blog chat if (as in your case) it's too late.
