It is past my bedtime... I think. So does anyone want to come over and fix my painting job at my condo? I've never painted a house or such in my life, and everyone seems to have suggestions, after I've f'uped and it has gone to shit. Well, I'm done the most difficult wall and pulled the tape off around the door frames and unfortunately took off in some spots a couple of layers of paint too! Krista suggest to bribe someone with cookies, that most men will paint for cookies. So if I bake up a batch of my mom's secrete recipe of chocolate chip cookie if you will come over and fix and paint the rest of my place Well since I don't have anyone knocking on my door yet, let's move onto what happened here this week at the GA New Blog. Monday was a interesting CSR Discussion Day with @Dodger. You thought you knew a guy and then you find out he is ambidextrous We all took a bit of a break whilst Myr was busy with the Words of the Day for the week. How many did you know? vindicate, parvenu, wimple, crepuscular, deracinate, scarify, languid After doing the wrap up tonight, I'm a bit languid 💤 Based on that, I'm done for the night Just kidding, can't leave you hanging. On Thursday Val was in to let us know about the upcoming 2023 Anthology selection process. Friday, Cole came in guns a blazing and brought us a couple of new prompts: Saturday, Comicality swooped in with what might me a multi week posting on Cheating Who would cheat??? We finished off the month of November and now into December. So let's look at November stats, December and also the 2022 stats! Wow, that is a lot of stats!

vindicate - Word of the Day - Sun Nov 27, 2022
wildone commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
So @Myr, tell us what you really feel about Amber ? -
I hope my 'merican friends and their families of origin or found had a super Thanksgiving holiday. Did you eat too much? I think TG is one of the mandatory 'pass' days that you get to eat what you want, how much you want, and for as long as you want. It is surprising that with New Year's resolutions that people make those far stretched promises to themselves to stop smoking, go to the gym, stop drinking alcohol and such, that there is nothing for Thanksgiving. Maybe there should be promises to go to the gym to combat all the food at the very least! I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but up in Canada boxing day (Dec. 26) was our biggest sale day where retailers cleared out their old stock at ridiculous prices. Now the American Black Friday has replaced that, closely followed by Cyber Monday. So were you able to participate, or was things just a little too tight this year? I had my 12 year old TV start to pixelate pretty bad so I was able to take advantage of the sales to get a new, bigger TV. Before Krista can make any accusations, NO it is not for watching porn . We had a pretty good week here at the GA New Blog. Let's jump right in and see what all was out there for you, just in case you missed something. I know I like to upload the neat profile signatures that Cia does up every month for our Siggy of the Month. Ever thought of doing it? Wednesday we were looking at an excerpt from our siggy story of the month: On Friday Val came up with a few interesting prompts. Any takers? I think one of the tricker things to write and not lose your readers is switching to and from a flashback. Comsie brought some suggestions on how to do that: 7 days, 7 new words! Thanks Myr!! swan song, immure, glower, feign, tontine, regnant, jape 26 down and 4 to go!

When I heard Gianni Infantino say the abhorrent treatment of foreign workers, the lack of pay, the horrible work conditions, the loss of life and so much more, that it was comparable to what his family members went through I had to pick my lower jaw off the ground. So by his words, two or more wrongs make a right . Get your head out of your ass and realize that what isn't acceptable today, isn't acceptable anywhere and if it still happens it is all our responsibility to call it out. This also goes for the brave men and women calling out Iran at the tournament that are arrested or banned from making any statement against the state. Countries should be speaking up, not just individuals. But I guess when you have a Emirate who will help FIFA and all it side deals make billions and billions is controlling the image being put out by FIFA. If FIFA was also serious about cracking down on LGBQT2+ hate, why isn't Mexico banned from playing. Yes, it is their spectators, but I don't see the team jeopardizing the revenues from those homophobe supporters. /rant

Chapter Seventeen: Leia Again
wildone commented on CassieQ's story chapter in Chapter Seventeen: Leia Again
Well Cassie, I'm impressed I know you have some people that didn't like Part1 ending here, but I'm fine with it. I don't know if there is any set laws on trilogies, other than they should be linked together in some way. So what some expect it to mean, doesn't mean you have to have the same feeling, nor do I. Add the fact that you were so polite, shows you understand that some don't see things the same way as you do but that is okay. Which over all is a great thing, imagine if we all thought and did everything the same. As a long time reader of @C James, I have learned to love and hate cliffhangers I didn't find your use overused or them too distracting. Yes, I can always click on the next chapter, but if I could only be reading a chapter a week, I would laugh and tease you about them. I don't have a problem with there use. Let's be honest, not every chapter ends in one. Now, I really did enjoy Part 1. I think it was paced out in a way to that gives me a little bit more information with every chapter or paragraph or even sentence read. Yeah, I think some of us caught on in the last few chapters that Leia might still be alive, but do any of us know the details or how that happened or why it happened? I don't, but I will as I continue to read on. Once again, these dreams make me think that Brandon has more psychic ability that he realizes, or even Keith and Elizabeth know. I'm sure they would shut her down if they knew she was communicating with Brandon. Also makes you wonder how much Leia actually knows what is going on, that she is blaming Brandon for where she is. Or is that his guilty conscious reading more into it than what is actually there. Now I will throw out one more thing, could the psychic connection be more strong because Leia might be a Creator too, but never found her Enabler yet, and Keith and Liz decided to use her to their advantage? Well, off to part deux -
Chapter Fifteen: Breakdown
wildone commented on CassieQ's story chapter in Chapter Fifteen: Breakdown
Okay, so said shark has just crapped me out of him and I feel like it. I do have to compliment you Cassie. But let me yell at you first 🤪 The entire time Keith and Brandon were locked in the bedroom, I was screaming that I wanted someone to bust in, preferably Jordan, and put a stop to this rape. But no, you kept going on and like a good writer giving attention to every small detail 🤬Then when finally I think you have saved the day by Jordan breaking in, no, you have Keith pull a loaded gun on Jordan So now where I compliment you You did an excellent job in you handling of describing a rape case. The way you made me empathize with Brandon meant you got it right, but you didn’t in the end overdue it. I find a lot of authors don’t really know how to write a rape scene which pulls a reader into the moment but not so far that they resent the author. Another author on site that is a master of this is @vlista20. Also, you ended up on a hopeful note. Leia reaching out to Bran again in what seems to be a dream, but now I feel it is a psychic connection makes me feel that all will be together soon. 🥰 Lastly, I feel I should be great full but confused with that, that Liz put a end to it all. Maybe Keith is the brat in this pairing. But her comment that they have only know what they wanted them to know is ominous in itself. Thank you again for this story. -
Well after the last chapter I felt like I was snorkeling in Huanama Bay in Hawaii looking at all the beautiful fish. This chapter has a great white shark jumping over the protective coral reef and gnawing on me That Keith, he has been trouble from day 1. I’m sure the rest of the chapters will be flying as we find out will happen to him. Are ‘normal’ teams allowed to exact revenge? Looking for the other team from Virginia to arrive soon hopefully.
-
To tell the truth I’ve never seen a lightening bug or firefly 😜 Nice chapter. Kind of a step back from any major drama. Except Brandon trying to destroy Jordan with the mind block and pushback 😉 Wonder if I could do that trick in case I meet Mr Spock and need to prevent a mind meld Actually Jordan did sum up my feelings, glad that Brandon can now defend himself.

Chapter Twelve: Revelations
wildone commented on CassieQ's story chapter in Chapter Twelve: Revelations
Wow, I think I hazarded a guess that Keith was a fellow creator and even the unnamed woman was a creator, but I didn’t fully realize how Keith manipulated the pull of enabler to enabler to put Brandon so off kilter. Like Jordan said, I can’t help but feel that Brandon was raped each and every time since he had something he didn’t know abou pulling him to Keith. The note could mean so many things imho. 1. He knows Brandon wants the sex but he won’t get it anymore. 2: He knows that he is about to put two and two together and want to know who his lady friend is, but he won’t find out. 3. He knows Brandon is going to clue into what is going on and want to block Keith’s ability to draw him, but Keith won’t let him stop being drawn to him. 4. like @Jason Rimbaud said, maybe he has Leia in someway. Did anyone see a body, or did the Enabler and Creator create a body that appeared to be Leia? That is why the creation didn’t show any signs of pregnancy. 5. I can keep going on forever but will drive myself crazy. So instead I will read on 😛 one thing I’m glad about is I think Brandon knows why he cut himself and won’t do it again. It is a practice I’ve seen before and I know it means someone is struggling in ways that are unconscionable to comprehend, but I just want to wrap them up in my arms and my love -
Has anyone seen Valkyrie? Oh, there she is So the folks in Western New York seem to have got over a meter/yard of snow over the past few days! Here, we haven't got rid of the snow from Nov. 3 yet Saw pictures from Nova Scotia where the doggies were playing on the green grass! I'm sure you Floridians can make me jealous in just one picture! Do you hear me? No more than one picture First come, first served! Now not to often I encourage bad words to be used here, but I really want to know what you think about that four letter word, s**w? Do you like it, do you hate it? Have you ever seen it? Have you ever felt it? I'd say have you ever tasted it but that would take this discussion downhill a little too quickly If you do get the white stuff, do you have any yet? You hear me down in Australia and New Zealand, how much snow have you got in the past month? Now I know we are all busy people with getting ready for the holidays, picking out my Christmas present, so shall we get on with one of the busiest weeks on the GA News Blog in a long while? 6 days out of 7 we came your way.

Chapter Eleven: Consequences
wildone commented on CassieQ's story chapter in Chapter Eleven: Consequences
Lots of conflicting emotions with this chapter, but empathy would be the overriding one I too was wondering about the dream, or was it, in this chapter. Leis saying she’s stuck and then following up with the Brandon comment makes me wonder if we also have a bit of a side ghost story going on. Not that Bran doesn’t have enough on his mind already. I see a giant party, without booze 😜, at Jordan’s once the girls get in from Chicago. -
GA's Newest Signature Author: Dodger
wildone commented on Graeme's blog entry in Gay Authors Archive
Congratulations, Dodger I've told you before I'm a fanboy of yours for your great stories Not only does this promotion reflect on your writing but also all the work and participation you do on the site as well. Take a bow *Throws first snowball in the great Canadian snowball fight* -
With the weather changing with people looking to more indoor activities up north, why not consider a home renovation? Aditius from the Review Team did up a great review for the November Featured Story which may or may not have a home renovation in it. Enjoy! The Purple Door by Valkyrie Reviewer: Aditus Status: Complete Word Count: 5,616 November is the perfect month for a ghost story when meadows are shrouded in fog in the morning and it gets colder and darker, at least here in the Northern hemisphere, don’t you think? Greg and his partner had it all planned out: as their retirement project they would buy and restore an abandoned house. After losing David, Greg decides to go on with the plan and honor David’s dream. He buys an old Victorian including an overgrown garden and a purple door. Are you already imagining how the story could go? Especially when I tell you David once told Greg “When you dream, look for a purple door. When you open it, I'll be there.” Well, I totally guessed wrong and I’m happy about it. Valkyrie told a much better story than I did in my mind. Now find a comfortable spot, you’ll be able to see the house with your mind’s eye, and meet the people and the ghost while Greg works on the house.

In case you are wondering why we have two blogs up featured at once, don't continually hit your refresh button to try to make one disappear Or am I the only one that would do that? I remember back in the olden days, when a author would generally post a new chapter on the same day of the week around the same time of day, I'd sit there constantly hitting refresh until I got the new chapter This was back in the eFic days long before even the idea of post dating Now where was I? Oh, so due to a malfunction at the junction, we never got Comicality's Blog on Saturday up until around 5 PM in the NA Eastern time zone So to ensure you all get the chance to check out his much followed blog on Saturdays, we will leave it up with the Wrap up on Sunday. So did you do anything for what some call Armistice Day, Veterans Day, or Remembrance Day? I took some holidays the past week but had to work most days anyways , but I did go to a Remembrance Day ceremony here in town. Always such a sobering but very meaningful event. Well here is what I know 10's of you are looking forward to , the Wrap Up in full! Monday was an introduction to an all new C(an't)S(top)R(eading) Feature for November! @Dodger is the one we are reading this month: Tuesday was a HUGE day at GA. Anytime our Author Promotion Team uploads a blog, you know a deserving author is getting a promotion. Make sure you pop in and if you haven't, give @kbois a congratulatory message: If it is Thursday, our Anthology Queen (that is non gender emoticon ) @Valkyrie took us back to 2010. I was not as old as I am now, back then . I was in my mid 20's On Friday, @Cole Matthewsbrought us some interesting prompts to explore. Just in case you don't remember what they were , click here: Saturday, but only part of Saturday we had @Comicality's writing article blog up. So to make sure you check it out today, or even tomorrow , here is the link: For the heck of it, let's put in the links for this week's Words of the Day Less typing for me when I can just post a link Come on, there was six words and even a hyphenated word this week We are definitely off to a fast start on our November goals: Blog Opportunities Ask an Author 3.0: Send in 3 questions that you would like your favourite story's author to answer for you.

Hi all I don't want to put words in her mouth, as she would say I'm lying to you anyways . She has not brought this up to me. Just remember this was a Anthology entry that got a few thousand words out of hand
-
Well you beat me by 6 days, Jason. My exact thoughts. But they are enabler/creator team, that opens so many questions. are they the evil team that Jordan and the Chicago girls have warned Bran about? Could Keith be manipulating somehow as a creator to keep Brandon back, and thus ensnaring him? Could the have created, Keith, the monster baby? As he created the baby and weird lady enabled it to be in Leia? Thank Cassie, I’m still getting more and more intrigued and wanting more.

wildone commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
I'm curious what your post would have comprised of -
So they did the autopsy, and the ‘baby’ was never there, against home and medical testing. Leia supposedly knew the father. So would the father be human? Also, we don’t know the gestational time line before the creature can live on its own. What I’m getting at, lol, is did whomever take the baby and then staged the suicide. How many times do you hear of police/ME’s seeing something evidently suicide and not looking for any other clues whatsoever Enquiring minds want to know!!!!

November CSR Feature: A Soldier's Guide to Single Parenting by Dodger
wildone commented on Cia's blog entry in Gay Authors News
I agree with everyone above I have to say, it was not what we had experienced from Dodger before and he did an excellent job of stepping out of what may have been his comfort zone. Also very thought provoking and makes you think on top of it. I recommend it if you a Dodger fan or maybe not experienced him as of yet. -

Heart wrenching chapter 😢Well done I always appreciate when a author can have their readers feel the raw emotions that their characters feel. But it is a fine line to not cross over where the reader feels distraught and lose focus on the overall story Your above quote has piqued my interest. It seems that Brandon quite quickly accepted he was gay. I can’t remember if the cutting started because of Keith or not. If so, then it would suggest that if Brandon has accepted his sexuality, he is definitely not dealing with it in a good way. ☹️ But Jordan seems to be struggling in his own way. His natural reaction to falling for a guy must be scaring the hell out of him, but a totally natural reaction. I do wonder if their bond, will their attractions be felt by the other? If so, that could really complicate things if one interprets the others feelings to do something to the other, that the other may not yet be ready for. In this case it is really a double edged sword 😕
-
So we learn a lot more about creator and enabler dynamics from Dalaja and Nikki. I was probably really caught up in that train of thought until Bran lip locked Jordan the night before and the professed his attraction the next day. Then it was ‘ what was the rest of the chapter about? 😝 well now that I’m over that part and thinkinking again about the video chat, I wonder if Bran’s confession will bring Jordan more attuned to Brans feelings But if it does, I imagine Jordan will soon know about the self harm and Keith. Is Brandon ready for that discussion yet?
-
Being stuck in the middle of the Canadian prairies, I do remember Campbell's used to have both New England and Manhattan Clam Chowder. I know it is canned, but hey there wasn't a lot of Deli's or places to get soup other than in a can. I liked the Manhattan, but liked the New England more. With all this talk of discrimination and what is better, I see that their is a new chowder on the market (may be old ), Seafood Chowder. No place attached to it I kind of like it better as you get in a whole bunch of different seafood in it. Think first time I had it was on Granville Island in Vancouver, BC. After a google search, it appears that Nova Scotia is trying to put their name before it @Headstall, do you want to contest this with your neighbours to the east
