The first week of September has arrived and things are a changing! I've notice a bit of a uptick in the forums and stories and also feeling a change in the weather and length of days. I never understood how people who live closer to the equator have little to no deviation in the length of days. Just seems strange to me . Then the further you go south or north towards the poles, you get longer days/shorter nights and visa versa as the equinoxes are reached. But then again, it would be strange to have 24 hours of light, or dark . Currently here, the sun is fading out at around 7:30, but by the end of October, that will probably be 5:00 pm. So are any of you affected by SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)? I personally just want to curl up and sleep more as the days shorten. Maybe I really am a bear and just want to hibernate

So shall we take a look at our slightly busier week?

Monday, Cia lead off the month with a new CSR Feature. Did you check it out?

Then on Wednesday, Carols took a great approach and gave us a new and ever popular Ask An Author 2.0:

On Thursday, Myr revived the weekly posting of Anthology Thursday. Now like the way that the members asked the Anthologies to be spread out over the month, we will be doing the same with the features!

Friday, prompts galore were flowing Comicfan was back with a couple of new ones:
