Hope everyone who was celebrating had a safe and happy holiday weekend! It's Sunday again, so if you missed anything this week in the GA News Blog, now is the time to get a glimpse of what you missed. If anything jumps out at you, you can go back and check out the post that interests you!

We finished out the month with the June CSR Discussion Day on Monday. Last month the CSR choice was CJames' collection of anthology stories. It's not too late to chime in with your thoughts if you've read one of these great stories. In fact, I've actually read one or two of them, maybe I need to go and put in my two cents. Don't forget to check back tomorrow to see what July's choice is going to be!

If you're trying to decide whether or not to purchase a Premium Subscription, our Premium Tuesday may help you decide. This week we featured "Catara", a story by Lugh. It garnered quite a few comments from people who enjoyed the story, so if you're still wondering if a Premium membership is for you, check it out and see if it helps!

We rang in July with our monthly Ask An Author feature on Wednesday. Dark is great about bringing us the great feature every month. This month featured questions to authors Andrew Q Gordon, Ashi, and Sasha Distan. If your curious as to what they were asked and what their answers were, go and see for yourself. Don't forget, if you have a question for your favorite author and would like to see it featured, contact Dark!

We ended the week with our ever popular weekly prompts. Comicfan provided us with two knew prompts to get your imagination going. You have the choice between a first line prompt or one with the tag of "the fair". Hey, if you're feeling really creative and energetic, you could always do one for both of them! I also chose to feature Valkyrie71's response to Prompt #334.
