I hope everyone has had a great week so far and that everyone is staying safe and warm. We had a busy week here at Gay Authors, so let's just get right down to it and take a look at what we had going on.

We have so many stories here on GA that sometimes it can be hard to find something you want to read. To help with that, Monday's are our featured story day in the blog and this week we featured Toy Soldiers by Dabeagle! If you haven't already read it, then this is your chance to check it out!

Interested in participating in the Secret Admirer Short Story Contest? As a reminder of the rules and deadlines, we did a Reminder: Secret Admirer Short Story Contest blog on Wednesday. Time is running out to get your entry in and we've only had a couple so far. Hope to see more entries coming in.

Friday, is our prompt day for the blog. Comicfan joined us again this week to bring us two new prompts and he also featured JohnAR as the featured prompt response for this week.

Normally that would be the end of our wrap up, but today we have one more thing for you. For those who have trouble finding out what they need to know, Myr has posted a new Frequently Asked Questions page. If you're looking for information, try there first. It's pretty comprehensive. We hope this makes it easier for people to find the answers to their questions.
