I may be dating myself (not like that, geez ), but back in the days of Johnny Carson hosting the Tonight Show, Ed McMahon would always start the show off with, "Herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre's Johnny," for an introduction. I may or may not have used AI to help recreate this  Okay, I totally did  Can't use the actual likeness of Ed McMahon though . 

I just wanted to resurrect the famous line to let everyone know that Annual GA Anthology has started  

In case you have been out of the  country or lost your internet connection, you know that the two different themes of the Anthology came out on Thursday. Week one features 6 brand new stories from 6 different authors  

If you want to go to the launching page, check it out here:

Since the Anthology is such a big thing, I decided to feature it first this week.  That doesn't mean that the other 2 blogs appearing this past week should be ignored. Actually I would encourage you to check them out too!

Monday, the Review Team got behind Chris191070 for his great review of a new story, for those of us that haven't read it:

Tuesday, Myr although was on the road, brought us a new Genre looksy!

We also managed to fit in our weekly dosage of Words of the Day:

amaranthine, carapace, crepuscule, galivant, elegiac, redamancy, lucent
