I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween. Did you get lots of Trick-or-Treaters or did you hide from the ghosts and goblins that were prowling around the streets? For those who are in a place who practice Daylight Savings Time, did you remember to set your clocks back an hour before you went to bed?

We started out the week with the CSR Discussion Day. Cia asked a few of the authors for this month some Halloween related questions. The answers got really interesting and are definitely worth a look, if you haven't already done so, check it out and feel free to leave a comment.

Tuesday's are a great time to look at what is offered in the Premium section of Gay Authors. This week was no different as we featured "Hard Knocks", the final story in DKstories's "Waiting For The Sign" Trilogy. If you're interested in helping to support GA, there's also information on how to become a Premium Subscriber.

Myr joined us on the blog on Wednesday with this month's Tech blog! With the upgrade that will be coming to the forum software in coming months, many members might be wondering what it means for them personally and what they can do to help. Myr gave a lot of great information so make sure to check it out!

If you're stuck on a story or just maybe wanting a break from what you're normally working on, check out Friday's Prompt feature. Not only were there two new prompts for you to choose from, but we also featured a previous prompt response from Carlos H.

Have you been downloading the Signature Author Backgrounds? Cia uploaded the newest one on Saturday. This month's feature is Save or Sacrifice by popular and long term Signature Author, Comicality.
