Well, it's the end of another week, which means it's time to take a look back at what has gone on in the various GA News Blogs. Don't forget that tomorrow is the discussion day for this month's CSR choice: Between the Lines by Comicality. If you haven't finished reading yet, you still have a little time.

 

UPDATE: First let me apologize. I have a lot going on right now and I completely spaced that I was supposed to announce the Reader Incentive winner for the anthology. I'm happy to announce that, for the 17 stories in the current anthology, we had a total of 41 unique reviewers. Of those 41 reviewers, we had a total of 262 entries in the Reader Incentives drawing. I assigned each reviewer a number, and repeated that number however many times they reviewed, and the winner is....

Nice assortment of authors and stories.

 

Mann's signature feature led me to reading the story again and it was more enjoyable the second time around. Between Magic, Innocence & Carnality, and the Logs of the Good Ship Lollipop, Mann has created three distinct universes which rock. The details do not intrude into the action but give you a real feel for the environment, surrounding the actors in a palpable make-believe world.

 

When I grow up, I want to write like him! :D

Congrats, Arazon!! I suggest you pick the one month premium membership if you don't already have it. The best thing I've done on here is buy Premium... lots of gems to read... I recommend it for everyone... and it helps our site... :)
