Are you sure @astone2292 is PG rated?  His stories sure are not! 

We change the clocks here in the UK, on the last Sunday in March. We move from GMT to BST. Personally I enjoy the clocks changing to BST.

To choose just one story from last week, Confluence by @Refugium. It's one in the ongoing series Stories from Old Photographs and I've enjoyed all of them.

Time is a constant problem. Our system needs completely redesigned. But as a start, we should start by listening to our chronobiologists and getting our bodies back in line with our natural circadian rhythms--like all the other living things on the planet. All this faffing around with DST vs ST is just entirely squandering the opportunity to do something constructive. Hope about we change our clocks every month? Week? Practically all the clocks change by computers these days. Why not have the clocks change every day in relation to the Time Zone so we're always in sync with natural day and night? Just spitballin, of course.... 

Favorite story: "Higher Education" from @WolfM. It's an In Process story continuing his "Running with the Pack" series, and it's a great time!

Daylight Savings Time, Schmaylight Thravings Dime. I still have to get up and work at my booze shop. 

And @raven1, would it surprise you if I said I have a WIP that completely G-rated?

Thanks a bunch to those who sent Ask An Author questions! We now have a decent stockpile for the piggy bank, but keep 'em coming! I'll do a happy dance if I have articles lined up for the rest of the year.

If it were a shifter story or one you collaborate on with @kbois I would be very surprised.  However, you are a talented writer and can easily write anything you put your mind too. 

Favourite story? That is a hard one as there so many really good stories on GA, but one that I re-read earlier today does rank as being among them is by @Headstall, Lifting The Veil is a story that deserves a mention. Yes it does have it's dark moments but it 'lifts the veil' on abuse and shows that there can be a brighter future, It's a story that I recommend.

This is the 75th time spring forward meant a lost hour for me and I can't say it's more than a slight inconvenience, quickly forgotten.  Time is what we make of it and sometimes switching things up gets us out of rut.  I think the world has much greater problems to debate than whether to do away with switching from standard time to daylight savings time....

I always look forward to the extra hour of daylight in the evenings, and dread losing it in the fall. It is a pattern I'm used to, though.

Hey... we can do G-rated! As long as it has enough humor to make up for the lack of bow-chicka-wow-wow. Right @astone2292?

🤣🤣🤣

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I've been busy and have had to choose between writing and reading. Writing won. Although a certain character another author-who-shall-not-be-named is obsessed with is being rather stubborn and holding out on me. 

As for DST? I'd rather have one or the other. I'm off kilter all week following both changes. The older I get, the worse it gets. 

To answer the first question, I also loved Lifting the Veil. I have read several stories I enjoyed this week, but the best by far was this one.  As for daylight savings time, for me it was a reward for enduring the cold, dark cloudy winter in the Pacific Northwest.  Helping Aaron? Anytime he needs!  Some of my questions even border on intelligent.

Keep on writing!  Your readers are a very impatient mob. Also, if you add enough humor to make up for the lack of bow-chicka-wow-wow a lot of your readers may die from prolonged laughter.

Thanks, guys. Appreciate the shoutout.  

It was a tie on stories.  @Geron Kees story, "Here Be Dragons, Charlie Boone!" and @Backwoods Boy story "The Jock and the Bookworm" tied for my favorites.  But all on the list are by great authors.

I would rather be in Daylight Saving Time year around instead of switching.

DST is something that I am rather used to. I wouldn't mind seeing it go, but I'm not all that flustered that it is still around either. It is just something that's... here.  

As far as reading goes, I am rereading my own story. (Yeah, I'll toot my own horn). Mostly because I can't remember half of what I wanted to use to wrap the story with, so a refresher course is in order.  

Also, Steven if you're late again:

Nothing wrong with self promotion.  The only problem is that you didn't tell us which of your great stories you are reading.  Love the gif!

Bear?? I’m here !   

Not to be technical, but the amount of daylight does not change, just the hours in which we experience them. I'd rather do away with it myself, but I don't have insanely strong feelings one way or the other. I'm naturally a morning person, so the fall is really hard. I wake up even earlier. Washington, Oregon, and California have to all agree on changing it (getting rid of it) I do think it's in the works but only time will tell. 

I'm currently reading Running with the Pack by @WolfM with MorningStar by @Headstall queued up as recommended by the reader's choice.

The Best Year.  I'm hoping to finish it out in the next two chapters. 

With respect to playing games with the clock...
