It's been another busy week here at Gay Authors! Before I get started with the Weekly Wrap Up, I have a couple of announcements to make.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Myr is looking for volunteers for a User Interface Team. If you are interested in becoming more involved with Gay Authors, then this might be something you would be interested in. It is an open opportunity and could lead to further involvement on other GA teams. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, then please check out the forum thread.

ANNOUNCEMENT: It's time for the Readers Choice Awards! Nominations for the 2013 Readers Choice Awards started on January 12th and will continue until 12:00 AM EST on February 2, 2014. For more information on how to nominate your favorite stories from 2013 and what makes a story eligible, check out the forum thread.

This week was our first Hosted Week here at the GA News Blog. Mann Ramblings provided us a review on "Prophecy" by Hosted Author: Comicfan. Prophecy was one of the many stories from the 2013 Winter Anthology: Recipe For Disaster. This was a great review and one thing that it seemed everyone agreed on was that they wanted more of the story and hoped that Comicfan would decide to eventually continue the story. I did get a chuckle at the end of Mann's review and I'm sure you will too. Want to read the review? Check out Monday's blog entry!

We continued the Hosted Week with an interview with Comicfan on his story Prophecy. I think my favorite answer during the interview was his reply to whether or not he was happy with the way the story turned out or if there were things he'd like to change. Curious as to why that's my favorite answer? I'll give you a hint, it directly correlates to the end of Mann's review from Monday! Check it out and it might just answer some questions you had about the story as well!

Friday saw two new prompts from Comicfan. One was a new "first line" prompt and the other one had the tag of "the devil's deal". Both could provide some interesting stories and I'm curious to see who all will take up the prompts and who will be featured next week. This week, we featured a prompt response by Kitt.
