  1. Wow, what a busy week Not only personally but also here at the GA News Blog! I won't bore you with my week although it was Tony the Tiger, Greeeeeeeeeeat! But shall we start off will US Thanksgiving week in the US of A. I'm sure with everything going on in our world's, day to day, and week to week, there is a few things that if we look at our own lives and leave out the rest, there is a lot to be thankful for. Although I'm not 'merican, I'm personally glad that I have GA to come to day to day if I want and see what is going on with people that I honestly do want to learn a bit more about. I'm happy for my family, friends and on most days, glad that I have a job. Realizing others may not have that, it makes you think of even the smallest things can make a difference. So if you are 'mercian or not, tell me at least one thing that you're thankful for this year? Let's get a long chain of answers on this week's question! Now, we did have a really busy week this week at the GA News Blog, as mentioned, so let's get the show on the road. Monday was a great day to kick off the week with a review from our newest member from the Review Team, W_L: Tuesday, our fearless leader put out a blog on a Deep Dive: Then it was a surprise on Wednesday for our Review Team to be thanked: Thursday was quite a exciting day. Not only for a new writing event, but also for reflection on what we call could do for Carlos Hazday: Now if you are thinking to yourselves that this is enough in one week, you are wrong So not including Sunday, we had six days in this week. That meant six blogs including this great article from Comicality. It is kind of scary : What would a wrap up be without looking back on all the Words of the Day we had: muskmelon, mastiff, ravish, dichotomy, nocturnal, pejoration, spermatozoon Upcoming Writing Events Long May You Run - A tribute to Carlos Hazday Entries due on Dec. 27, 2023.

  2. I can't wrap my head around this question... Can irony be used to describe a dichotomy? Probably not, but thought I'd ask
  3. I think i can honestly say I've never had an nocturnal emission I always laughed at that medical term (if it is) for a wet dream I guess I never let anything down there ever rest enough to build any pressure
  4. Hi Everyone!!! The Admins here at GA are thankful for the groups that help us out throughout the year for the time and effort that they put into make GA the premiere gay stories sites on the internet! After discussing, GA would like to extend an official public thank you to our Review Team. Month in and month out they take turns reading a story from scratch and doing up a review. This hopefully piques your interest in a story you may not have read or maybe an author you have not read. So here is a HUGE THANK YOU to our Review Team and all the work you do. @Aditus @chris191070 @Parker Owens @spike382 @Timothy M. And our newest member: @W_L As a small token of our gratitude, our Team Members will have this recognition badge put on their profiles.
  5. I have to admit, I was crying when Luke says for the first time in front of everyone, “I love him.” 😢 Didn’t do too much better until they were underway on the road. Even after he told Jack that Cindy did say she loved him before leaving.

    Chapter 1

    Thanks for reading! I'm glad that an idea spurned on by a funny prompt was able to turn into something many liked! I appreciate the feedback.
  7. Has it been a month already? So we always put out a calling for anyone that wants to volunteer for various groups on site to let us know. This past month we had @W_L answer that call and joined up with our Review Team. So let's check out his first entry! The Case of the Short, Short Prince by Geron Kees Reviewer: W_L Status: Complete Word Count: 372,908 For a serious person, it offers an escape into a magical world where you can get lost in the adventure plots. Its spiraling plots and characters reminded me of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim or Dragon Age, furthering my escape into this world of fantasy. Above the quaint nostalgia, the story inspires with its well-paced fantasy plot, I think what kept me reading was the introduction of new fantasy elements throughout the tale. Despite new magical tools and new backstories that are integrated with the plot, Geron Kees did not overwhelm readers with exposition which is a hallmark of the fantasy genre. The other benefit in Geron Kees' writing style is that the romance has already been established with Jamie and Garvin at the start, so we don't have to spend time getting to the gay lovers' stuff. Reducing need for romance development saved room for plot pacing. I found the story captivating and engaging with its fantasy premise. Fighting magical creatures, going on side-quests, and meeting new characters were seamless. While some plot elements are not original for fantasy readers, i.e. magic rings and nether realms, it is a well-written story with various threads tying together. I recommend this story for those seeking a fun fantasy story that is fun with its plots and engages readers with its concepts.

  8. Hey! Last week we changed the clocks in a lot of places, who changed the days this week? Up here in Western Canada, yesterday was Remembrance Day were we remember all the veterans and peacekeepers that all served in our forces and some that died doing so. It is actually a holiday I believe in all Commonwealth countries, but others do a bigger ceremony on other holidays. When I say Western Canada, I know we have it as a stat holiday. This means this weekend has me mixed up. We are taking Monday off in lieu of yesterday. What it all comes down too, I thought today was Saturday for some reason. Now before Val and Krista start digging out brochures looking for places to put for the rest of my years, I did remember when I woke up this morning. So things eventually will get done Now that my blurb is over, lets get down to what we all are here for, the Weekly Wrap Up! Monday was Cia's opportunity to come knocking and gave us the November CSR Feature. Did you check it out? Tuesday the door was left open for Myr to do a Historical Deep Dive: First Wednesday of the Month, that meant Aaron brought us another edition of Ask An Author 3.0: Whoooooooo are you? Who, who, who, who. Aaron has published his second edition of the revised Author Guess Who. Who do you think it is? Hey, on Friday we got back to our Prompt again. I'm hoping that you can get some ideas on putting the pen back to the paper: And what a busy week it has been. On Saturday, Comicality brought us a writing article to complete all 7 days this week with a GA News Blog feature! Words of the Day this past week were: motley, doff, inconceivable, parable, sot, lattice, peddle Member Participation Blogs - Great way to promote yourself!!

  9. Are they not called non-licensed pharmacists?
  10. I'm going to take a gamble and say maybe @Dodger Has he been featured yet?
  11. Obviously wretched is too much for Canada
  12. For some reason I always thought Muttley was a mash up of mutt and motley Is this where I admit I’ve seen them 4 times in concert 😈
  13. Well hoping you didn't have to go to the bathroom at both 3 AM wakeups You know what I'm talking about
  14. I guess it is the time of year for our bi-annual bitch fest 😏You know what I’m talking about. We are falling back on Saturday night, Sunday morning. So if you forgot to set the clocks back, you can continue reading this wrap up, or go back to bed 😛 If you live somewhere that doesn’t have daylight savings time, considerable yourself lucky 🍀 So how many kids did you have come to your house for Halloween 🧙? I had zero. But I live in a secured condo building with very few if any kids living there. But I am proud of myself, I did not buy anything candy or chip related, telling myself just in case, knowing full well I’m buying them for me. Sound familiar? Well those first two topics I do believe are North Amican centric. Why not toss in the Day Of The Dead. For any one with some spanish in them, is this worldwide or mainly Mexico? I learned about the two day holiday this year, and I’m surprised all of North America hasn’t embraced it. Okay Steve, move along… This was our final Anthology 2023 week for Leap of Faith So this week we will be back to our normal broadcasting schedule. Cia gathered us all around for our CSR Discussion Day: Then it was time for Valkyrie to wrap up the anthology. Let me thank all our authors, our readers for their likes and comments, our Proof Team, Val for organizing it all and Myr , Cia for all their know how.

  15. Nobody, nobody I ask, remembers this with Sat morning toons? Shocked, shocked I say.
  16. And sit at home eating candy 😜 Oops! Meant to put Anthology Entry after Complete on A Twist of Faith. Silly me. I think I’m suffering low blood sugar! Anyone have some Halloween Candy for me? 😏 As Shultz would say in Hogan’s Heros, “I Know Nothing”
  17. Heck, prompts were the avenue to bring a bizarre case in my past to come to light in fiction. it doesn’t always happen, but I want thank profusely all the people now and in the past, that have made others get the feeling to write
  18. Just a reminder to all, you have less than 2 months to get your favourite GA staff member their Christmas present. Maybe I shouldn't say that, I will be like Harry Potter on Christmas morning receiving presents from his Aunt and Uncle and lovely cousin Dudley! One year a 50 pence coin which is 60 cents USD, a toothpick and finally a single tissue . Believe it or not, that is my first HP reference in my life Now if you couldn't wait for Christmas, Val had an early present for you again this week. More Anthology stories!!! With Halloween on Tuesday, I'm curious what your plans are? Anything? You going to hand out candy, are you maybe a teacher or someone that will dress up for work that day? Will you get dressed at all that day 😮 That could be really scary . I'm watching a Junior A hockey game on TV in the background and a banana just ran across the screen What happened this week, Steve? In a bold hint to tell me to move along... Steve did the weekly update on Sunday: Tuesday, Myr did a Paranormal Deep Dive: The only other GA Blog this week was our Anthology story announcement. This week is kind of a vacation for me So shall we go off to see what words Myr stupefied us with this week? quaff, quartz, remedial, flounce, polymath, blare, dupe Member Participation Blogs - Great way to promote yourself!!

  24. Imagine how noisy it would be if people had oversized bangles that dangled
  25. Not to be confused with Montblanc, they highest mountain in the Alps and Western Europe. Wasn't that where Alex Rider when to skool? @Myr?
