Hope everyone is ready for some new stories and poems! We had a great turnout for this anthology, and we have 17 new stories/poems for you to enjoy. If you checked out the "Double Check" post, you already know which authors and stories we have for you, but don't worry, I'll include them here as well! Before we get to that, we have a couple of things to take care of.

 

In order to encourage authors to participate in the anthologies, we came up with some author incentives. All authors who participate in the anthology will be entered into a drawing. The winner gets to choose which prize they would like:

  • 1 Month Premium Membership
  • 1 Month Ad Space - This can be used for a GA story, a published story, or your story collection
  • $5 Credit to the GA ebook store


And the winner is


Defiance19


(Pm me with your prize choice)

 

On top of author incentives, we want to encourage readers to read and review the anthology entries. For each story a reader reviews, they will get one entry into the drawing. Reviews need to be more than just a "great story" or "I liked this". Share your thoughts with the author and you could win one of the following prizes:

  • 1 Month Premium Membership
  • $5 Credit to the GA ebook store


If you'd like to better your chances, write me a blog review (200-500 words) on your favorite story from the anthology and I'll give you an extra 2 entries! Readers will have until November 26th to review stories and/or write a blog review. The winner will be announced in the Weekly Wrap Up on November 27th.

 

Now let's see what stories we have for you!!!

Congrats, Defiance!  I can't wait to read all the stories.  Good thing today's my short day at work.  I think I'll head right home and read. Who needs groceries when there's awesome stuff to read?  :gikkle:

CONGRATS, DEF!!! :)

 

I can't wait to start in on all these stories! It'll be a long night! :D

 

Renee, these are some great incentives to get readers to comment and review stories. And genius to think of the extra incentive of writing a review on one or more stories! :) This will be tough competition for Tim! :P

Way to go, Def! First round's on me when I see you in January! Still don't have dates but I'll be staying in the same building CJ does when he's in NYC :D

 

My reading schedule just got complicated. And I'm not rushing through the stories this time. Taking my time and savoring them. One down, a few to go.
