This is perfect timing, considering today is Aditus’ ten year GA-versary! Happy Anniversary, Wolfie! Here’s to ten more, then ten more, then ten more… 😁

You know me well

I am the Procrastination Queen

The whole series is well worth reading, and this is no exception. You won't regret it, trust me

Thank you so much

Thank you

You know my penguin assassins are just a phone call away BTW, you really need to read Drsawzall's story All read and commented on 😁 🌟 Readers are once again blowing the reading challenge out of the water, given the number of comments and reviews on all the stories so far. Well done, everyone! Happy Anniversary to GA again! Reading the anthology stories is a perfect way to celebrate

All read and commented on! *cracks knuckles * Bring on Week 3 😁

I really enjoyed this story. I could feel the connection between Virgil and Wyatt. I'm sure they'll have a great future together. This was written with your usual flair for westerns. And of course, there was an appaloosa Thank you for including it in the anthology

I had totally forgotten about that challenge from Astone until I read the end. I thought this was a hysterical take on the prompt, although my penguin assassins are definitely regretting eating that pizza I thought the dustbunnies were really clever and reminded me of some of the creatures from Piers Anthony's Xanth series. This was definitely a unique addition to the anthology! Thank you for participating

Wow... this story had me on the edge of my seat! It was a very well-written take on a dystopian future that, unfortunately, isn't as far outside the realm of possibility that we might think. Thank you for including it with the anthology!

Thank you

Thank you!

Thanks! Me too! Whenever I think of the first poem, I picture Campino giving a middle finger to the sky as he sings "Wort zum Sonntag". I think the last line of that song is my new mantra

Thank you! You helped make it better.

I'm glad you were able to relate to this poem. Thanks for reading and commenting!

I have three more to go! Good thing it's the weekend 😁

But there's one for you too!

I've written a couple of stories about non-binary characters, so I completely relate to the pronoun struggle. He/she is so ingrained in our daily use, that unless you know a non-binary person, it's difficult to get used to using the singular 'they'. My BFF has a non-binary child, and I find myself slipping in the pronoun usage occasionally. They understand it's not intentional. There's 22 years of binary thinking to get past. It was hard reading about the mother's mental health struggle, but you showed how deeply it affected everyone around her. I had a similar situation in my own family (minus the non-binary part), so it really hit home for me. I wish Shay had been able to find a little bit of empathy for her, despite her treatment of them. But I completely understand what it's like to cut a toxic family member out of your life, mental illness notwithstanding. I had to do that myself, and while I love that family member dearly, having them out of my life is much better for me. The father seemed to do the best he could in horrible situation. I liked the scene where he told Shay about their wedding and how the mother was before she became mentally ill. He's to be commended for sticking with her throughout everything. I'm glad Shay and Griff reunited at the end. Thank you for participating in the anthology!

Thank you! It's easy to forget the important things until we get reminders like this.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you so much

Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment. We should never take anything for granted.

Thank you, Bill. I'm glad you liked it. Our friends never truly leave us.
