    Featured Story: A Bad Day to be WET

    By wildone,


    Featured Stories
    Another Monday, and another great story to be featured! If you have overeaten ham, turkey, or other holiday weekend fare, then why exercise when you can sit back and read another fascinating story brought to us from our great Story Review Team!
     
     
    A Bad Day to be WET
    Myr
    Reviewer: spikey582
    Status: Complete
    Word Count: 5,341
    For this review, I felt like looking at something a bit different from what I've reviewed in the past. My first love, as far as genre fiction is concerned, has always been sci-fi/fantasy stories, and yet I’ve not read many of the GA offerings in that genre. So, to remedy that I decided to dip into some of the writing of GA’s own Myr.  
    In A Bad Day to be WET, we get to experience a day in the life of one Bill Thomas, a test pilot in the Terran Confederation Spaceforce. Bill is a Jumper, one who can sense “jump points” in space time, and psionically “jump” a ship from one point or another. We meet him in the midst of calibrating the navigation system in a prototype bomber spacecraft. Shortly, he is being called away on a priority mission, flying through a hurricane, and transporting civilians through an active war zone.  
    What I particularly love about this story is that it feels like an episode of an exciting sci-fi tv show. We get taken for a thrilling ride, and it is so much fun to experience. While this is a short story, that is somewhat episodic in nature, Myr still does an amazing job of developing his main character Bill. Be it through his daring flight skills, his forthright banter, or his casual flirtation with a senator’s son, we get a well-defined picture of what he’s like and what he’s about. The best part is that it’s all done through the action and dialogue of the story.
    A Bad Day to be WET feels in every way like it should be part of an ongoing sci-fi tv series. In fact, considering that Myr has written several other shorts set in this same universe, it can certainly be read as such a series.  
    This is a fun, action-packed read. Go check it out, and hopefully you’ll enjoy it as much as I have.

    By wildone,


    Weekly Wrap Up
    I'm shocked  I'm surprised  I'm flabbergasted  And you all should be too! When I found this out yesterday I was left with my mouth agape . Just when you thought you knew a guy, you find out how little you know! And then, to top it all off, he chooses to use deceit and misguidance to throw everyone further off the track. It has been pointed out that he didn't lie, but to me he might have just well have . I'm not willing to turn my back on him and I think no one else should either .

    Friday, Wayne dropped by and decided to give us a couple of new prompts for you to wrap your head, and fingers, around.

    Saturday, or as it is now known, Comsie Day, he brought us another great Article:

    So just in case you missed it GA underwent a Software upgrade on Saturday. So far I haven't noticed any differences but I'm sure that is a good thing . In case you did miss the announcements, Myr did put everything in a nice, neat, little blog:

    Monday, Cia lead us on the CSR Discussion Day:

    Thursday the echidna from down under, took over with a new Signature Author Announcement:
     
     
    Friday flew in with comicfan, and a few more prompts to tickle your mind

    Roy had enough. His attempts to find love and happiness had failed. He decided to simply live without trying to find a companion in life.
    Together, they begin to learn what it really means to be gay.

    Weekly Wrap Up (Mar.10 - Mar.16)

    By wildone,


    Weekly Wrap Up
    So, don't tell anyone  but I think Renee missed her hour of sleep this week  . This makes less work for me, and gives me something to tease her about  . I do have to admit that I don't have a lil' one under that age of 1 that I'm tending to day in and day out, so I guess I shall forgive her  Why don't we all share our love  .
     
    On a more sad note, we have members in New Zealand that we should share our love with too  .
     
    Monday, Renee introduced us to another featured story from our Review Team.
     
    Jump to Friday where we had not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 prompts this week!
     
    Saturday was a celebration and milestone for Comicality, 50 GA Articles are under his belt!

    Red Running Shoes
    by @aditus
     
    Come meet quirky, irrational, impulsive Jonah, who runs when life gets complicated. This time he is in Sicily, Italy. What else? Oh yes. He talks to Zach, his imaginary laptop friend, collects people who want to take care of him, as well as slightly possessive, manipulative boyfriends. Time for a change.

    By wildone,


    Weekly Wrap Up
    Lucky I'm doing this tonight before I go to bed, as tomorrow, don't come looking to borrow a cup of sugar (do people actually do that?) as I might bite your head off . Yes, last night was this biannual silly thing called Daylight Savings Time. If you don't have this annoying time shift in your neck of the woods, it resets our clocks an hour ahead or behind to accommodate for longer days for the summer and shorter days for the winter and energy consumption. Unfortunately Saturday night was the kick in for Daylight savings time, and some annoyingly happy person said, "Let's Spring Forward", but never considered that I'm losing a very important hour of sleep . Oh well, I should be back to my usual, chipper, happy, self around the end of June .
     
    Shall we look back on the week of GA Blogs?
     
    Monday, Cia introduced us to our March CSR Feature, so start to read and come back on March 25th  
     
    Wednesday was another round of one of our most popular features, Ask An Author 2.0 from Carlos!
     
    Friday, instead of having some Prompts, Graeme introduced us to our newest Classic Author:
     
    Then on Saturday, Comicality gave us some ideas to get something everyone needs:

    Weekly Wrap Up
    I was just about to head to bed and rest my weary head, when I said to myself, "Self, you have to do the weekly Wrap Up!" So here it is .
     
    Also, still looking for some more completed story suggestions to feature  
     
    Monday, Cia had our CSR Discussion Day from February's CSR story:
     
    Then on Wednesday, Renee brought us another great addition of Improve & Encourage:
     
    On Friday, we had some prompts, but I guess I was asleep at the wheel and maybe we didn't feature them
     
    Yesterday was Comsie's chance to take things over with another great GA Article. I hope all of you are taking notes

    Carthera Takeover Tales
    by @Cia
     
    Bonds Unbroken The Carthera are a violent race, never failing to respond to battle, they nevertheless are a proud and honorable people. Except for the ferals. Battles for territory, fighting persecution from the humans, for the right to rule, have echoed down through the ages. In these modern times things are different, easier. Laws are made--and enforced--and peace, of a sorts, is possible. Some seek to end that.
          2. Two of a Kind
    A hot steamy jungle, a plague in the past and present and two men who are destined to be mates. Volatile tempers erupt in a fiery tale of romance and magic.
         3. Hypnotic
    Davis has been alone for a long time. Between his club and his job essentially as a mercenary for Velaku, the local Carthera leader who let him live in his territory, he has little time to worry about finding a mate. If that is even possible for one of his kind. That doesn't mean he doesn't want one though.

    Weekly Wrap Up (Feb. 17 - Feb. 23

    By wildone,


    Weekly Wrap Up
    I guess there is no completed stories or poems on the site that are worth making a shout out to Well, there is one so thanks to that person for giving us a great recommendation to put at the end of this week's Wrap Up!  In case you missed it in my ramblings last week, we were hoping to have you the readers (if you read on site, you are a reader )  to recommend a completed poem, story or series to have featured at the end of the Wrap Up. All you have to do is go to my profile @wildone, click on the little blue box with an envelope saying Message, and send me one, two, three or more completed story/poem recommendations. It won't be like the more in depth blog reviews, but more a shout out to an author/poet by a reader and the blurb they have shared with the story. Check out this weeks at the bottom!
     
    So what happened at the GA Blog this week you ask?
     
    Monday, Cia brought us the February Classic Author Feature! It even came with a snazzy signature banner you can use if you want.
     
    As expected, this meant Tuesday we had the Classic Author Excerpt:
     
    It was a hop, skip and a jump over to Friday where Renee shared a couple more prompts from our prompt guru, comicfan:
     
    Saturday we got another great article from Comicality:

    Bound & Bound - the Curse and the Captives-
    by @AC Benus
     
    Emeric's life sucks; he's unhappy, drifting, lonely and sad. Things go from bad to crazy with the opening of a set of secrets that no one could have prepared him for. He quickly wonders whom he can trust, who is working for 'them,' and why this misfortune fell upon his shoulders in the first place. A twisting thread through history pulls him tighter and tighter, and eventually, either he or the binding may snap.

    By wildone,


    Weekly Wrap Up
    What's up, buttercup?
     
    So did you get to use that expression on Valentines Day? I know I'm late and maybe should have presented this last week, but oh well . So I remember when I was in elementary school, getting a box of Valentines Cards and filling out for everyone in my class, boys and girls. I was thinking to doing that this year at work but when I mentioned it to someone, they thought I might be setting myself up for a visit with H.R. So, did you do anything to spread your love this year, and if so, how? Or do you hate Valentine's Day all together?
     
    Now a request to everyone! If you look at the GA Classic at the bottom, it is empty We have been using a list and we have now run out! So if you know of a story you think we should feature in the weekly update, make sure to drop me a PM @wildone. This can mean any finished story. I shall compile a list and then Renee and I will start providing a link and the blub for the stories that you suggest! Even if it has been featured in the past and you think it should be featured again, let me know! For series, let's try to feature up to completed books. This should be your place to feature a favourite story of yours .
     
    Now, shall we visit what the GA Blog brought us this week?
     
    On Monday, Renee introduced us to a new Featured Story by @Thorn Wilde
     
    On Wednesday it was another round of Q & A! Lots of Authors contributed to this!
     
    Then we had an Anthology Thursday this week! Great responses from different people all working to get their ideas going.
     
    Finally Friday arrived and the all Renee week ended with a couple more prompts from @comicfan

    Man in Motion
    by Mark Arbour
    
    "Man in Motion," follows Be Rad and begins in 1985. To most Americans, 1985 was about the second Reagan term and the economic boom that was following the stagnant 70's. The culture was wrapped up in materialism, so it's no wonder that Madonna's "Material Girl" was popular then. Then there is this parallel culture, the gay culture, reeling from the onslaught of AIDS.

    Weekly Wrap Up (Jan. 27 - Feb.2)

    By wildone,


    Weekly Wrap Up
    Well one down, 11 to go  So the topic around North America this week has been the weather. I won't go into temps as there is both Celsius and Fahrenheit used here. The interesting thing is that as both approach -40, they meet. So pretty everywhere in North America above Mexico, it was darn cold. But I don't want to just talk about North America, so what about your neck of the woods. I imagine Australia is basking in their summer. Is Europe freezing cold too, or just a normal winter? 
     
    Let's jump into the week in review, and I mean at the GA Blog and not the weather
     
    Monday, we hit the end of the month so it was our CSR Discussion Day:
     
    Then on Tuesday, or was it Wednesday (I'm so confused  ) it was another addition of Improve & Encourage:

    By wildone,


    Weekly Wrap Up
    So have you started to regret the holiday season? Did you maybe spend a penny or two more that you expected this year? I was thinking how lucky we all are in that we can come to GA and read and read and read and not put out a penny if we want! And this community is the reason why! I don't know why, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that contributes to the site, Authors, Poets, Editors, Betas, Members, Review Team, Author Promotion Team, Anthology Proof Team, Site Moderation Team, and Admins. You all make this site the greatest!
     
    Now I remember why I wanted to say that
     
    Monday, Renee shared with us some great reviews of said great stories. If you ever have 'nothing to read', maybe bookmark this one:
     
    On Wednesday, Renee introduced us to a new Blog feature, Author Guess Who. No, this isn't an Author of a 60's-70's Rock Band
     
    We had a short week and jumped to Comsie's GA Article on taking your writing to another level with publishing.

    Weekly Wrap Up
    Well have we all recovered from our New Year's Eve festivities? Are we back to work if you took some time off for the Holiday Season? Are the students getting ready to head back to skool on Monday? Are you still writing 2018 down on everything?
     
    Enough of those questions and let's move on to the most pressing question on my mind right now... How do you have a pair of underwear? Like do you say I need to grab a clean pair of underwear? Do you grab two, or one? So how is it a pair?
     
    While you are trying to wrap your mind around that one, let's see what the blog brought us all this week!
     
    New Year's Eve, Cia wrapped up December with the CSR Discussion Day:
     
    Monday and Tuesday, our regular scheduled programming was interrupted by a special announcement by Myr:
     
    Being the first Wednesday of the month, it meant Carlos had another exciting issue of Ask An Author 2.0:
     
    Friday was the return of the ever popular Writing Prompts:
     
    Saturday was the end of the blog week and Comsie was telling us something about having to keep his clothes on

    So, if you are counting and partaking in Christmas, that is 23 more sleeps to Christmas Eve, and if Santa shows up this year you'll be opening your pressies in 24 days. Or if you are Jewish, Chanukah starts in 2 days!! Either way, I just want everyone to be forewarned that I will be expecting you all to send me a present this year . If not, then you will have to make a New Year's Resolution in 30 days to make sure you get me one next year
