@akascrubber Haha. You ask the best kind of questions Thank you so much for reading and your support. Your comments are very much appreciated!

Only just stumbled upon your story now. I love the characters. Looking forward to reading more

On its own? Blergh. In … oat milk? Yes!

@JohnnyC Thank you so much for reading :3 ! Our supernatural adventuring party seems to be assembled, or are they? Shame that Mark was knocked out most of the time, Dave might have a question or two for him. Good news everyone, the information is flowing again.

“There is so much to unpack here, guys,” Clara said. “I don’t even know where to begin,” I responded. I had broken the one rule. Do. Not. Reveal. Didn’t even take me 24 hours to do so. he’s ours-ours. mine. yours. mine. And now my wolf was talking to me. Neat. Ours? Dave’s ok, right? He’s good? yes. yes. sun. Clara knows things. She seems good, is she good? Why does she figure things out? good. yes. yes. mint. rose. Dave was standing in front of me. He tou

True. I'm using it in the bedroom.

@Lee Wilson Danger. That website your browser is trying to access is an indication, unfortunately a very strong indication, that your computer is infected with malware. This has nothing to do with the search feature of GA. It works flawlessly. You should run software like Malwarebytes, or get the computer checked by someone you trust.

I’ve never had mead, and now I desperately want to have some. It’s Honigwein (honey wine) in German. Our words are not pretty.

@drsawzall Well for one thing, Clara can decipher what the two guys are too squirrel to realize. Hello!? Earth to males! I'm not saying anything beyond that. Thank you so much for reading and commenting. @mikedup Clara is completely unfazed by displays of supernatural splendor. A good counterbalance to Grey and Dave just sparkling around all day. They'll stop daydreaming soon (I hope). Thanks for the comment and for reading my story

New Year's Resolutions ! 2023 was good, and 2024 is going to be better. I have further fitness goals to achieve, I want to become a better writer, and I would also like to remain happy (I know it's an utmost privilege to say such a thing, but nevertheless: those are mine).

@akascrubber I think I might still have a trick up my sleeve. Chapter Four suddenly reveals a lot, but that's just barely the surface. Thank you so much for reading and commenting! @chris191070 Coalesce. 🤫 Fun times indeed. We had introductions, revelations, backstories. Time for some action maybe? Grey also needs clothes though, desperately.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Present Day. A small city in Central Oregon. The Lunar Haven. “He smells seasons, too,” Dave said. “You’re weird,” Clara said and chuckled. Her face remained utterly blank. That comment hung in the air, light-hearted but possibly laced with a knowing confusion on Clara’s part that I couldn’t quite place. She looked puzzled. “I’m surprised you even went into this shitty bar with your super nose, Grey.” They weren’t going to drop that, were they? Kill me now. “Like, can you sme

Hm. I disagree. It doesn't require a hammer to see myself as a hopeless romantic that wants monogamy more than anything. But that's me. It might mystify you, but please accept that not everyone thinks like you. The idea that "gay sexuality" excludes monogamy is simply wrong.

Aw fuck. I actually cried. This derailed the topic a bit, but it also shows how little the numbers really matter.

When people fall out of love, even if it's mutual, sometimes one of them catches on earlier as the other. Heartbreaking. Not that I haven't been through that myself before lol... Nice story. Thank you.

Really nice dialog, and I like the humor. Reads effortlessly.

The courtroom scene was fabulous. And so was all the bank stuff. Not very supernatural, but I love Lisa and she did have a great day today, lol.

Oh I had worked on a story involving crime scenes, but ultimately realized that my knowledge—stemming from watching Dexter and Body of Proof—was not even remotely enough to be convincing. I stopped. Wish I could accompany someone gathering residue.

Gun powder residue is the first thing that came to my mind.

Secret tip: If you're on the Author Profile page, hit the profile picture and it takes you to the member profile I agree with you that some streamlining could be applied to the story archive. I know this is a hard ask as it is an "application built on top of Invision Community". I am very much looking forward to the new version regardless.

What is your favorite story/collection on Gay Authors? Running with the Pack series by WolfM. What is your favorite food? Freshly made pasta, cooked at home. If you could accomplish one thing for 2024, what would it be? Become a better writer. I've just been catching up with the Ask an Author series myself, and to be honest... I quite like it as is :3 So I'm not the best help in that department.

Yes All of it would just be icing on the cake. But I kind of think of it like a good ebook reader app does it—the ePub files behind them are just HTML styled with CSS too. I'm thinking Apple Books and not the horrible Kindle app, but both work as a guide. Most important would be center-align the block of text—I read a lot in a desktop web browser and have wide windows for the site. Again, icing on the cake. Thank you for the consideration ! I'm sure everything is going to be great. Smooth sailing.

Writing about not writing is, in fact, writing. So now I have a blog! Having the perfect writing setup for over a decade isn't actually enough to produce good writing. Duh. Of course, it isn't. I pride myself on being a good judge of quality, and nothing I had written passed the test. Judging it by my standards was enough for me to decide, "Nope." But: To get better at writing, you need outside feedback. Even mediocre writing will be improved with furious editing. I heavily underestimated how fun it is to know that people read my work. I even more heavily underestimated how fun it is to get feedback on it. I appreciate it so much. A few calm days over the holidays with my family, and I finally decided now is the time. I took a writing project of mine, kept the title, kept the outline, and got to work. The polished work is nothing like what it was just a week ago, and with a heavy rewrite of Chapter Three, I now set the bar higher for myself. That's ok. I'm still on a high, knowing that this community here welcomed me with open arms. And I would rather not submit shit. I debated for a long time if I should finish the whole project once and for all, and then start posting. But then I remembered #1 above, to get better at writing, you need outside feedback. I hope to retain a good pace with releasing new chapters. And as I casually skim through the chapters I have prepared, I am trying to convince myself that I won't have to rewrite most of that. I probably will. It really requires some work. What gives you inspiration to write? What is your writing setup? Are you interested in mine? What do you do when you hit a wall and don't know how to continue? What do you do when your dialogs are shit one day, and you start slapping yourself (happened today)? Please don't hesitate to comment, I would so love that And if you want to read that story—the first story I've ever posted anywhere—you should totally do so!

I am so excited for the update, and I hope things go smoothly for you and the admin team in the background. My two wishes would be: A widget to select page-width, font size, paragraph indentation and a few smart fonts for reading stories (expanding on the current widget, which is ok, but only left aligns the text for example), with particular focus on a good reading experience on phones and tablets. A "Reading Now" section that lists stories that were started and have unfinished or new chapters as well as new stories from authors that I follow. This would require the system tracking a "read" status for chapters though, so might be more involved. I'm happy with the archive as is, and even if the complete rewrite removes features—which it definitely will—I will enjoy it.
