I hope everyone has had a great weekend! Don't forget that the deadline to submit your anthology entries to the Anthology Proof Team is just a few days away. All entries need to be to the proof team no later than September 3rd to give the team time to proof your story and get it back to you. Also, don't forget that tomorrow (August 31st) is the CSR Discussion Day for Becoming Real by AC Benus. AC will be live on the blog from 7-9 PM eastern. Now, let's take a look at what happened this past week.

If you're looking for a new story to read, check out Monday's review. Atruefan has shared his thoughts regarding Future Imperfect by Bill W. If you've never read anything by Bill, at just over 3,500 words, Future Imperfect would be a great one to get you started!

For the Wednesday blog, we took a look at Premium Stories. If you'd like to help support the site and keep it going, a Premium membership may be the way to go. Not only do you help the site, but you get access to some great stories, including Rob Colton's newest story in the Galactic Conspiracies series, The Degan Paradox.

Friday brought a couple of new prompts meant to inspire you. Instead of only sharing one of the prompt responses, we shared the first few lines from all prompt responses posted since last Friday. Hopefully you found something you enjoyed!

But wait, the week wasn't over yet! Cia took over the blog on Saturday to bring us the Signature Background for September. This coming month, we're featuring Noah's New Plan by Rob Colton. If you haven't already done so, make sure to download the background!
