Wow! Is it me or are the weeks flying by? Welcome to another Friday, and you know what that means don't you? Prompt time. As usual, I don't want to hold you up, but need everyone to remember that prompt responses under 1,000 words must be posted as part of a collection. Now, on to the prompts. Prompt 456 – Creative Tag – First Line “How did I forget his birthday again?” Prompt 457 – Creative Tag – Spiders To say you loath spiders would be a gross understatement. However, you woke this morning and couldn’t see out your window, there were spider webs as thick as a curtain just outside your window. As you make your way around the house you see them everywhere outside. What is going on that you have so many spiders at your house? Last week there were two prompts and both got a response. However,I am going to go with Mikiesboy's story this week. He covers Halloween, two hot men, one great Scottish accent, and a dog. What more could you ask for? Wanna know what else happens? If you are like me, you want to. You can find it here - https://www.gayauthors.org/story/mikiesboy/delicious/4 For those interested in Prompt 455, you may read it here - http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/40892-prompt-455-creative/ Remember the prompts are here to help you write, explore new ideas, and try things you might not otherwise attempt. For our readers we ask that you comment on any story you might read, hit that like button, and tell your friends what you have enjoyed reading. Nothing like helping to boost a writer's readers like word of mouth. 'Til next time, be safe and be well.

“Damn, I don’t want your excuses, Doug. I just want you to get your ass to my house tomorrow night!” Talie growled into the phone. “But, I hate parties and you know that. Never mind a damn Halloween party.” Doug whined and tried desperately to figure a way out of going. “Now you listen to me, Dougie boy. I had to go get you at the hospital last week at two am. Two friggin am. I was sound asleep when you called and did I leave you stranded?” Doug sighed. “No, you didn’t leave me stranded.” “D

Drats. I answered the wrong question, or to be more exact the former question before my computer caught up. So I'll erase that and answer the right one Alright how important is a sense of smell in finding someone attractive. Don't want anyone who smells dirty. Sweat can be fine, especially if you are working out or having fun. But to just stink and stay that way, no thanks. What is your favorite scent to smell?

Thank you Tim. I try out all sorts of new ideas in my prompt stories. Gives me the opportunities to do so.

A Scottish broghe, all the prompt words, and a delightful if naughty Halloween tale. Nicely done..

The leaves are changing nicely here on Long Island. Just don't have the time to go up to CT and see friends and the leaves there. What are your favorite foods as the season changes from summer to fall, or do you like the same things all year long?

Thanks Tim. So many asked last time for me to continue the story and this worked well as way to come back to it. Glad you enjoyed it.

Your wish is my command. I completed it in the next chapter. Thanks for the review.

Glad you enjoyed it. I did complete the story and give you a bit of a look at both of their lives. Thanks for the encouragement.

Sometimes the only way to get time off is to say you are taking it and make sure no one can reach you. Hope you enjoy the ending I created.

“So, tell me all the details!” Lisa leaned forward on the couch and made space as John looked at her. “Details?” John’s mind raced as he tried his best to keep himself from giving anything away. “Yeah, from your trip. You know your brother is going to ask all the questions as soon as he comes in with the burgers.” John had barely walked in his door from his vacation when Craig had called and invited him over for dinner. Since his baby brother had gotten married to Lisa, he had been pushing fo

Yup. Lol

Welcome back to another Friday Prompt Me! Yes, amazing how quickly the week seems to pass. Already those of us in the Northern Hemisphere are seeing the cooler temperatures moving in, the leaves changing colors, and announcement of snow. Seems that autumn is flying by. As it does hopefully people are taking time to enjoy things and perhaps even taking a bit of time to write again. Just the weekly reminder - Prompt responses under 1,000 words must be posted as part of a collection. Considering it is indeed Friday it is time to see if I can tempt something new from our authors with the weekly prompts. So no further holding back, here are this weeks treats. Prompt 454 – Creative Tag – List of Words Use the following in a story – costume, candy apple, big dog, a large bowl, and a broken mask Prompt 455 – Creative Tag – The Party Your best friend is throwing a party and has invited you to come. To be honest, you were told you had no choice; you were coming to his party. What sort of party is it and why did he want you there? Now last week I asked for your opinion on how many things you would like to see here from each week's prompts. So people asked for one or two to be spotlighted. I will go with the consensus. Last week there were two prompts and a poetry prompt. First up is a sample of the Ballade from last week. I choose Dolores Esteban's Enjoying what you read? Want to read the rest? Find it here - https://www.gayauthors.org/story/dolores-esteban/gawritingprompts/64 There were more examples and they may be found here -http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/40858-poetry-prompt-14-%E2%80%93-ballade/ There were two different prompts last week and both got attention. However, I read them all and am focusing my attention on one of the entries for Prompt 452. Jamessavik gave us another glimpse into his world of Cadet Cruise. Curious as to what happens? Read it as well as find the links to all the other prompts for 452 here - http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/40869-prompt-452-creative/ You can find the stories for prompt 453 here - http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/40870-prompt-453-creative/ So the prompts come to an end for another week. Hopefully our authors will be inspired and write many new pieces to tempt you into reading them. When you do read remember to like and comment on the pieces. It allows the authors to know where they succeed or fail. Never be afraid to tell your friends about the stories you enjoy, word of mouth is a great way to get people to read. 'Til next time, be safe and be well.

Mint tea or Mango tea. What is your favorite cookie?

Light, like really ligyt. I don't need sugsr. Same question.

Any chance of you doing an Anthology or short story to keep us loyal readers engaged til your other works are complete? (Does it show I missed you?)

Favorite toppings are extra cheese, bacon, and meatballs. What is your favorite comfort food?

Well I figured there were two prompts this week I might just use the other to finish this up. Glad you enjoyed it Val.

John Riley sat at his desk and checked his phone. There on the screen was a countdown that read two hours and six minutes. John smiled and did his best not to dance in his seat. It was almost quitting time and time to begin his vacation. Tomorrowland Technologies was a growing company and John was happy to be a part of it. However, he was beyond burnt out at this point. His last piece of time off had been in February when his younger brother had gotten married. He had intended to take his vacat

Happy Birthday Russ Wishing you all the joy and happiness you deserve.

Well here we are again at the start of another weekend. Yes, it is Friday and that means it is time to tempt you all with some new prompts. Now that October is underway, some people might find it nice to curl up with some apple cider, a slice of pumpkin pie, and write! As usual it is time to see if we can encourage new authors, revitalize lagging authors, and see if we can keep our usual crew pumping out new works. Just the weekly reminder - Prompt responses under 1,000 words must be posted as part of a collection. Prompt 452 – Creative Tag – First Line “So tell me all the details!” Prompt 453 – Creative Tag – The Break You never got to take your vacation during the summer when everyone else did. With it slowly moving into fall you decide it is past time for a break. Where do you go on your vacation? This week was a bit sparse with people taking a shot at the new prompts. We did have two authors who attempted Prompt 450 which asked authors to use the following in a story – an apple, a farm, hay, a horse, a diamond ring. First up was JohnAR with another chapter of his metaverse. Curious as to what happens next? Read it right here - https://www.gayauthors.org/story/johnar/metaprompts/38 Puppilull attacked this as well with a new chapter about the Vampire we've grown very interested in. You can read the rest of this tale here - So that is a sample of what our authors did last week. If you are interested in the stories please read and comment on them. It helps an author to know people are enjoying their work. I have question to ask you, loyal readers. Do you prefer to have a sample of all the works our authors have done or would you rather just have one or two spotlighted? I'd like to know as we go forward so prompts can reflect your interests. Thank you for taking the time to look at this week's works by our talented authors. Please check back next week to see what new wonders have been produced. Remember to read, comment, and tell your friends about the stories and authors you enjoy. It helps to introduce people to new stories and gives a boost to the author. Till next time, be safe and well.

In ten years time I would hope that I am working a job I enjoy, write often, hopefully with a partner in my life and if I'm really lucky a child. If you could undo any one thing from your past would you, especially realizing it could completely alter your present life or are do you feel that things have made you stronger having gone through them?

For a change I don't want to complain or talk about my life. I want to talk about my writing. Lately my muse has been active. Which is really nice. What this means for my readers. 1) I have a new Halloween story coming up shortly. Like some of those from my past, it will be a one shot, but hopefully it will be something people can enjoy. Instead of the usual stories about witches, zombies, vampires, or werewolves, I decided to go a little different. My tale is called Halloween - Lilith Style. 2) I asked in my forums which tale people would like to see expanded. People chose School Time Stripper. Guess what has three chapters done and I'm still writing. I am not sure when I will begin posting it but I want it fully completed before it does. 3) Finally came up with and idea for the Winter Anthology Blackout. So working on that as well. 4) It was announced that there would be a special anthology and all the topics from former anthologies would be fair game. Needless to say I have already finished one and there are a couple more I plan to tackle. So that is what is happening with me. Hopefully you will be enjoying more work from me shortly. By the way I didn't forget Seeon or Jonas. The epilogue is done for Jonas. Just have to pass off to my beta. Seeon is getting completed hopefully before the end of the week. Enjoy your October everyone.

Shakespeare. Would love to know for sure who is the bard. What character from literature would you most like to meet? Which character from literature wouldn't you like to meet?

I'm glad you are enjoying the story. Yes the brothers are different and important as they are. Hopefully, it will all make sense to you by the end. Thanks for reading and commenting Fae.
