  1. Nothing really. Just Chrome adding a mobile feature to windows. There is code on Gay Authors that allows you to put an "app" like link on mobile devices. It drops a Gay Authors icon with your other apps and it behaves like a connected app. Apparently Chrome is now doing something similar for windows. If you install it, it gives you a Gay Authors browser, basically focusing 100% on the Gay Authors interface. Installing Gay Authors in this way has been a capability for a couple years now on mobile.

    Work Environment

    Thanks Comsie! Well, I don't have the clutter problem. most of my stuff is books and most of those are their proper shelves of in neat piles near any place I may sit down to start reading. I do have a severe distraction issue though. Gay Authors always has something going on. or Work. So isolating time away from all the other things I'm juggling just to write is a challenge during normal times and has been insane during the last two years. Thanks for the article @Comicality!
  3. Things still working?
  4. Computers...
  5. I will look into it. I am not aware of any global issue with notifications.
  6. A couple of things. Check your Followed Content as well. Following a Member (from their profile) and Following an Author (From their Story Listing) are two different things. Under the Managed Followed Content in the Stories Section, check for "Story Author". You can then verify if you are following whom you think you are following. I don't recall for certain, but I think following the member profile alerts you to member type things (Status, posts), following Story Author alerts you to new stories and following a Story alerts you to new chapters. But you can see exactly what you are following and what the settings are in the Managed Followed Content section for that type of content.

    Salt And Pepper

    You know, I couldn't help but immediately think of "Red Shirts" when characters used to move a story forward that don't serve other purposes. The Original series is infamous for killing the guy in the red shirt in the first part of the episode. I like your use of salt and pepper as enhancement of flavor vs changing it. Great job @Comicality!

    Resonance in Writing

    "Drawing On the Power of Resonance In Writing" by David Farland is a quick read. As I continue my tour through books on writing by other authors, I stumbled across this one. It makes a pretty good point with several modern examples. Such as how Fantasy novels tend to resonate on Lord of the Rings. Pretty much all of Dungeon and Dragons and rooted there. Avatar has echos of Dances with Wolves. Everything we do builds off the zeitgeist, so to speak. This book is a nice look that gives you perspective on it. If you are aware of it, you can take advantage of it to make your story more relatable and hence more popular. It's worth checking out... though, for some reason, he admits to having Stephanie Meyer as a student.
