Site Administrator Myr Posted April 20, 2005 Site Administrator Posted April 20, 2005 I have noticed a huge influx of new people lately, so I've been meaning to ask... How did you find Gay Authors?
dkstories Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I KNEW there was a reason why I put them there! Oh, and Novelty, check both the most recent reply in my blog comments and the one where you asked what countries I'd been to...wait, I think I'll just put them in the blog itself as an edit.
NaperVic Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I found out about GA when Domluka ( ) moved his stories here. He has about 900+ members in his yahoo notification group and I think a bunch of them joined here too when he became a hosted author. Vic
ethan thorn Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 You know i dont even remember how i found GA i just ended up here and never left.
GREEN Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I found this place when someone emailed me saying that they had posted a reccomendation in the cafe for my story. I found that I liked this place so I too stayed.
Strangersagain Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 Just curious but do you think the google adds help the meta seach? Searching for Gay Authors puts this site up top -gasp the suprise in that I know-, but I don't think it was up top the last time I checked a few months ago.
TheDaniel Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I'm not really sure. It was over a year ago, that I discovered the site. But I've narrowed it down to two possibilities. Either there was a link in Dan Kirks "Dawn Of Tears" at Nifty, or I googled for the story. Quite often developing storys are hosted elsewhere and posted a bit faster there, than at Nifty.
DomLuka Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I found the archive a long time ago when someone sent me a link, but Myr's the one who pointed me in the direction of the rest of it. I like it here too.
solacelenity Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 I found the site through a link and encouraging comments from Comicality, back when I was first introduced to GONE FROM DAYLIGHT. Solace
Aleric Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 (edited) Me too (because of Comicality). In the past I read stories from nifty, and thought that most was very badly written. Once I found comicalities site, he was The Best, and I assumed there was no other writer in existance that I'd want to read stories from anyway. However, then I read 'Coup Edited May 9, 2005 by Aleric
Guest Casper Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 I found the GA link on one of DomLuka's stories over at Nifty. When I found it I spent 12 hours reading Desert Dropping and The Ordinary Us - I think I'm hooked!!
primewordsmith Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 I was checking up dkstories's site every day since July 2004 to see if he had updated my then favourite net story Dawn of Tears. Finally by April 2005 I had had enough, and decided to investigate what he was up to, and whether he had just petrified himself in the centre of the moon away from everything, or something. Eventually, after much searching, I came across GayAuthors and all those other wonderful stories which have consoled me in my sorry over the inaction with Dawn of Tears. Sob Perhaps a "delay" note under Dawn of Tears could save some other avid readers daily heartache.
Novelty Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Perhaps a "delay" note under Dawn of Tears could save some other avid readers daily heartache. I think the chatlog has something about Mist of Fates. Not too sure about Dawn though.
wep363 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 I got an IM from Myr saying that he was starting a new forum called Gay Authors. I'm not member number number one but I'm Close! :king:
Pyro Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 If I am correct it has bene so long ago hehe, that I think I found it through Myr's site. Hehe hint hint Myr chapter 30?? Pyro :-)
miguelsanchez55 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 How did I find this site? Hummm, let me think now. It's been a while but, oh yeah I remember now, Pyro recommended it to me. Thanks babe. Love ya Take care, Mike Sanchez :sword:
Umbathri Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 ya it was a mention of GAs at the end of someones story, who will remain nameless his ego needs no more stroking. Put those links in your stories.
Ashken Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I found this place by finding Myr's HP slash fanfic stories, which lead me to Dan's stories of the same genre. I have come back for several months to read other stories hosted here. I finally joined the forum because of the recommendation at Dom's yahoo group. Marc
Tim Posted April 30, 2005 Posted April 30, 2005 I found this site while reading Dom's The Lo(n)g Way on Nifty. He had a link at the bottom and here I am. I really like this site. Most of my time has been spent in Dom's area, but I am starting to look around and am beginning to read other stories. Needless to say, once I get my tax refund, I plan on sending a contribution. It cannot be cheap to run a site like this.
Site Administrator Myr Posted April 30, 2005 Author Site Administrator Posted April 30, 2005 Needless to say, once I get my tax refund, I plan on sending a contribution. It cannot be cheap to run a site like this. Thanks very much for the thought, but with the Google Ads, we've been doing very well towards funding the site. If this changes, I'll be sure to let everyone know. Enjoy!
reapersharvest Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I visited Com's site for a while and after I typed the URL "comicality.gayauthors.org" a few million times, it occured to me to check what else might be on gayauthors.org.
Masked Monkey Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 I lurk, and lurk, and lurk. I'm everywhere and nowhere. I'm many things to many people. Considering each authors most popular story... from nifty I found Dewey, then Drake, when Comsie was mentioned I spent time creaking around The Shack (always lurking and creeping, watching and waiting). I hit that GA button at The Shack and stumbled my way to Myr's fanfics, then Dan's, then I scavanged around for anything written by Dan. At this point I can't count the number of stories I was trying to follow, so I found more. I basically stopped reading nifty for lack of time, but always looked for the wheat. I found The Log Way and had to add another, and then Kombat Kids. When Dom and GR15 were hosted here I had little reason to go elsewhere. Oh.. I cheat a little here and there. I make one comment in one of Dan's blogs and he tells me to become a member. I took one of my old names (a protective one) and braved the light ... for the time being.
rainbow Posted May 4, 2005 Posted May 4, 2005 Hi Myr I found GA while doing a search on yahoo for gay stories. Rainbow.
