So, a few things happening this week around Gay Authors. For those who haven't noticed, voting has opened for the 2013 Gay Authors Readers Choice Awards. To find out more on how to vote, make sure to visit the thread. February 22, 2014 is the last day to vote, so make sure to get your votes in before then!

Also, you may have gone to post in a forum only to notice that it wasn't where you're used to it being. The administration team has been consolidating some of the forums to give the site a cleaner look. If you want to know more, you can read Myr's announcement in the Gay Authors Announcement Forum.

Wednesday, Dark was back with the 13th installment of Ask An Author! This week there were questions for Andrew Q Gordon, Layla, and Nephylim. As always, there were both some great questions and some great answers. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, but if you haven't read it yet, it's still there, waiting for you to check it out!

Friday's are always popular and are known for the new prompts being released, this week was no exception. Comicfan gave us prompts with the tag of "The Ring" as well as a list of words. We've already had some takers on the prompts for this week but there's always room for more, so don't miss your chance to be featured in next week's Prompt Me feature. This week, we featured a Jo Ann's response to Prompt #299.

Anthology Announcements:

There's only a month left to get your entry in for the Spring Anthology. Don't forget, that March 8th is the deadline for your story to be uploaded into GA Stories. However, all authors need to have their stories to the Anthology Proof Team no later than March 5th to ensure that the team has time to go over them and get them back to you in plenty of time.

Also, in the past I have had authors interested in doing more than one story for the anthologies. After some discussion, is has been decided that authors will now be allowed more than one entry in the anthologies providing the extra entries meet the submission criteria. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me (Renee Stevens).

• 2014 Spring Anthology: Nature's Wrath - Due Mar 8th *Note: Deadline is for submission into GA Stories. Deadline for Submission to the Anthology Editing Team is March 5th*
• 2014 Summer Anthology: The Backup Plan - Due June 8th *Note: Deadline is for submission into GA Stories. Deadline for Submission to the Anthology Editing Team is June 5th*
