  1. I did 95% of my shopping online and only bought a few things in brick and mortar stores. I ship a lot of my presents, so it's really nice to save on shipping and have them sent directly to the recipient. I'll join you. Just don't complain about cold feet

  6. Well you haven't open your presents yet...
  7. Sorry about that! I will look into better options for future surveys. I don't want anyone excluded. I see that Mancunian has offered to vote on your behalf. Anyone who cannot access the form can feel free to message me as well, and I can enter the vote on your behalf.
  8. It's the holiday season and it's a merry time for some and not so great time for others. Here are two prompts to reflect both moods. PT Prompt #97 You are gifted a magic snow globe. What happens when you shake it? PT Prompt #98 You are spending the holidays alone. Describe your day and any celebration or lack thereof.
  9. So you can't see the survey when you click on the link? I thought anyone could vote, regardless of if they have a Google account or not.
  10. The anthology selection committee did a great job with suggesting themes and then narrowing them down to a top five for the GA membership to vote on. It was difficult selecting our favorites, but we have five great themes to choose from. One of these will be our theme for the 2023 anthology! I'd like to extend a huge thank you to @Aditus@kbois @Mrsgnomie @northie @raven1 and @CassieQ for their input and discussion regarding next year's theme. You guys are awesome! Voting will remain open until midnight EST December 27th. On December 29th, I will reveal the winning theme. Please visit the following link and select your favorite of the five themes. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BVqr8MUJjM1T21Ylro18ITkQ9R0_Kjvs5aImfpfzUr8/edit

  12. Thank you! Oatmeal chocolate chip are one of my all-time favorites. My mom used to call them "cowboy cookies". I'm sorry for your loss.
  13. They've assimilated nicely
  14. Anyone who's watched Dead Poets Society is familiar with the phrase carpe diem. Even if you haven't watched this iconic Robin Williams movie, Myr featured this phrase as one of his Words of the Day last week. Carpe diem was also the theme for the Summer 2009 Anthology. So seize the day and reacquaint yourself with the stories from this past anthology. https://gayauthors.org/stories/browse/category/22-2009-summer-carpe-diem/
  15. Whew... this was an intense chapter! Gideon makes a lot more sense now, and I'm really curious to find out the meaning of the ornamentation. I'm not surprised Kavan followed him, and it's a good thing he did. It's also a good thing that Caspian and Konstantin and the rest were on hand for the aftermath. So it seems Caspian knows more about Kavan than he's let on. And now Kavan's shadow dancer gift has been revealed. I think the oily-tasting blood was Konstantin's, but I could be wrong. All I know is that I want the next chapter now 😁
  16. I like both of these! Maybe I can come up with something for one of them.
  17. Thank you to all who volunteered to serve on the anthology theme selection committee! I had six people volunteer, so all six will be included on the committee. I have contacted these individuals, and we will begin the process of selecting and narrowing down themes for the GA membership at large to vote on. This process will take place over the next two weeks, December 1-14, and on December 15th I will open up voting to the GA membership to ultimately decide the theme for the 2023 anthology. Voting will remain open for two weeks and will close on December 28th. Look for the winning theme announcement on December 29th. I'm looking forward to seeing what the committee comes up with!
  18. Who else read this as craptacular? 😬😝
  19. Great interview! Dodger writes historical fiction extremely well. This story is a good one for anyone not familiar with his writing to read. I also highly recommend Pardon my Polari. I know The Cockney Canuck has been your baby for a long time, Dodger, but I'm glad to see it end, only so you can concentrate on your other work. If your anthology story is anything to go by, then we're in for some stellar stories!

    Dinner with Gideon

    This story just keeps getting better and better. I love how Kavan knew the knife belonged with Ry. Caspian has some serious power on his side now. I can't say much more because I've already read the next chapter. All I can say is stay tuned... next week can't come soon enough!
  21. I refuse to go anywhere near a store on Black Friday I have gotten some Cyber Monday deals already, and will check again on actual Cyber Monday. Mainly for Christmas prezzies, since I'm pretty much broke from my Florida trip.
