Weekly Wrap Up!


It's been a rather busy week at Gay Authors. Before we get to looking over the past week in the Gay Authors News Blog, I'd like to do something a little bit different. I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome Slytherin back to the Forum Moderation Team, we are glad to have you back. We also added another new Moderator and I'd like to welcome MJ85 to the Forum Moderation Team, we are happy to have you join us! Thank you to all the staff who helps to keep Gay Authors running smoothly!

 

Now, onto a look back at what happened in the blog this week.

 

On Monday we took a look at CassieQ's story "Geeks". We had a wonderful review provided to us by Cole Matthews, and based upon the comments, he isn't the only one that is enjoying this "In Process" story. Check out the review and see if maybe this is a story you might like as well!

 

Tuesday we continued looking at our Premium Content with a look at "One Night" by Cia. Premium Content is one of the ways in which GA is funded and stories such as "One Night" are the site's way of saying "Thank You" for the support.

 

On Wednesday we had us a bit of a grammar lesson provided by Cia. She gave us a look at Adverbs at Adjectives and the way that they can help or hurt our writing. Many members commented and shared further examples. It was a rather informative day and I'd encourage everyone to check it out.

 

We had a Thursday post this week in which we announced the promotion of Cole Matthews to Promising Author. If you haven't already done so, stop by the post and leave Cole a comment!

 

We ended the week with two new prompts from the prompt guru Comicfan. One of the prompts carried the tag "Family Announcement" and the other carried the tag of "Bloodsuckers". I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for them. This week I chose Valkyrie71's response to Prompt #325 to feature.

Promising authors are catching up.  Looks like the sigs  better watch out for some of the new additions. They're consistent in adding chapters to their stories. "wonders how i know?"  :P

Oh, and welcomes back the Dang Bear:P

 

I'm sure MJ will be great as a Mod.  Welcome. "makes note to behave myself"

I'm sort of sad that I won't make it into this one. the story didn't wanna go and there were just too many other voices wanting their turn.

We always look forward to hearing what those voices urge you to do Sasha! I understand that feeling. :) "whispers hint, Direct Confusion*
