This is my last chance to play with the GayAuthors News Blog before Renee comes back and takes over again - so, let's make it good. We were saddened to start our week learning of the passing of GhostRyder15, one of GayAuthors' original Hosted Authors. In honor of his memory, we took a look at a recent story review that had been done of his Kombat Kids story.

Wednesday, we had the humorously titled, but VERY informative Cia's Torturing Me! This was a great look at GayAuthors' posting system, and how to correctly navigate it. There have been sometimes where an author make a mistake that causes Cia to have to alert them to some issue - and thus the title of the blog article. Based on the comments - and this one generated a TON of comments - most authors really appreciate all the time and effort that Cia puts in to help them out and I couldn't agree more.

And as we do every Friday, we got to enjoy and see two new prompts from our great prompt-guru comicfan! Additionally, we took at a great response to one of last week's prompts. Ron took a first line prompt, and used it to continue exploring a character he created in a previous prompt response. I highly recommend the read of these.
