Hope everyone had a great week and for many, hope you are having a wonderful extended weekend!

Reminder: SonoLuminus has decided to participate in Light the Night, a walk to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. She has dedicated her walk, and even named her team, in memory of Robert (aka Trebs) who passed away on August 7th after a long battle with Mantle Cell Lymphoma. To learn more about Light the Night and how you can help support SonoLuminus, please visit the lounge topic.

For those who read this month's CSR choice, In The Depths of Despair, the discussion was held on Monday. Cia interviewed InTheMindOfSunshine for the blog feature and then later on in the evening, InTheMindOfSunshine joined us here at the blog for a live Q & A.

For our Premium Tuesday story, we took a look at "Comfort Only" by RCMills. "Comfort Only" is just one of the many stories that are available to Premium Subscribers. If you want access to even more great stories, and want to help support GA at the same time, check out Tuesday's post to see how!

On Wednesday, Myr joined us in the blog for his monthly Tech blog. This month he gave us another look into what's coming with the upcoming upgrades. There are definitely some changes on the horizons when it comes to the way we will be reviewing and commenting on stories. Check out Myr's Tech Blog if you want to know more!

Our Prompt Me brought two new prompts to help spark some ideas. For the featured prompt response I featured Krista's response to Prompt #349. If you do decide to take on one of the prompts, don't forget to share it in the forum and maybe yours will be featured in a future Friday blog!
