I hope everyone had a great week! It's been a busy week at the Gay Authors news blog, but first things first. Thank you to everyone who voted in the 2013 Gay Authors Reader's Choice Awards. I hope everyone got their votes in since voting ended yesterday and the polls are closed.

On Monday we featured a review that Comicfan did on the story "Burden of Secrets" by Cia. "Burden of Secrets" is one of the many stories that can be found in the premium section. If you want more information on either this wonderful story or on the cost of a Premium membership, make sure to visit the Monday blog! Also, I'm always looking for new reviews of the blog. If you've read a story that you'd like to see featured in the blog, send me a PM!

Many seemed to love the Wacky Wednesday post, in which some of GA's Promising Author's shared some of their best compliments and harshest criticisms. Not only that, but they shared how each of these affected them. This was only Part I of the Best/Worst blog post, with Part II featuring our Signature Author's scheduled for March 19th. Curious as to how some of the Promising Authors handle the criticism's they receive? Check out the blog post and see their answers for yourself.

We had a couple extra blog posts this week, the first of which happened on Thursday. For those who hadn't already realized it, Rob Colton became a Signature Author at GA! If you haven't already done so, stop by the blog entry and congratulate Rob on his promotion!!!

Friday ended the week with two new prompts supplied by the prompt guru, Comicfan. This weeks prompt choices include a list of words and one with the tag "dinner party". Check them out and share your prompt response in the prompt forum. You never know, yours might be the featured response next week, just like Fleeting Rainbow's prompt was for this week!

We had another special blog entry on Saturday. For those who don't know, we have a great Beta/Editing program on Gay Authors headed by Louis (LJH) and Jo Ann (Joann414). They are looking for more editors willing to help authors out. If your interesting in joining the program as an editor, check out the blog entry to see what they're looking for and how to join!
