Many thanks!

Hi, Not really important, more a usability question. I can see many prompts, and in some stories I found a note that it was published as response to one. But is there a way to list all the stories that were submitted in response to a given prompt?

Late to the game Yes, it takes me much longer to figure out why my RPG characters is there and what he wants than putting the numbers down. I love writing character back stories.

This is a gem. I had read the original version, and this is drastically better. I really liked the depiction of Danni's psychic abilities as a problem for and his mother. Usually, those gifts are depicted as positive. So, this was a really good take on it. Also, the explanation for Danni's actions are given in well places flashback chapters which is a really good way to read two stories at the same time, the backstory and the main story.

Good story with an eunuch as main character. Th beginning is hard to read, but it becomes progressively better. As it is "Part 1", I would have expected a bit more explanation, especially as the world is a mix of real world medieval and fantasy. But there more parts, so we shall see.

The characters are very likeable, and the story is captivating. One cannot do differently but feel for the characters. I must thank the author for the, I feel realistic, glimpse into mental health issues (here anxiety). Everyone has felt anxious in their lives. Now, pitch that up a bit ... in a love story. I also must say that sometimes it is a hard read and that sometimes I wanted to shout at the main character to get his act together. So, I got emotionally involved. Is that not what we want from a story?

That was insightful, thank you. Especially about exploring the "why" for an emotional state in the story itself. Oh, I can tell you why. I have now accumulated 35k words on something that started as role-playing setting introduction / NPC backstory. The players liked it a lot, described the plot as very Game-Of-Thronesy, so it passed the beta reader stage, but when I read some of the dialogs, it does not "feel right", and I cannot for the love of me or anybody else, figure out what to change, even explain to myself why/what specifically makes me "feel" that it is is "wrong/off". And it annoys me a lot.

Wow, that is hard stuff. Life is full of experiences and I am grateful that I have been allowed a lot of experiences, most of them positive. While I did not have an abusive relationship, my first real one was very unhealthy, and it is true - love makes blind. I am a software developer, and I think very much in rules. I have problems when the situations do not match my expectations. A friend has suggested that I might be ever so slightly on the autistic spectrum. So, analyzing past decisions (apart from teenage times, I just shudder), gives me usually the same answer: with the information and experience available at the given time, I would most likely make the same decision again. Of course, I have done things whose memories are haunting, I am sure everyone has that. I found talking about those every helpful, so, I can understand that writing it down and sharing it i.e. owning is liberating. I can only agree with @Mikiesboy that the constant questioning of the past is not helpful. It cannot be changed. We can only decide on what is ahead of us. But now to answer the actual question: no. I have read stories that gave me an insight into how other people might "tick", but that is it. All the best!

Congratulations and thank you for the enthusiasm and work.

This was .. unexpected. A good read that leads to a very unexpected and funny ending.

This was the first story that I read on GA, but I only write a review now after reading the discussion about reader feedback in the writer's club. This story has been with me since I read it 2.5 years ago. It tells a wonderful story of discovery in a sci-fi yet historic setting. The characters, the world and the world's history that is uncovered are wonderfully crafted. I was drawn into this story, not being able to stop reading. Thank you for one of the best SF stories that I have ever read!

Usually, I am not into high-school stuff, and I have no idea how I got here, but this story just made me wanting to read on. I was captivated from the first chapter. The main character is slightly naive (well, a teenager :)), but his emotions and reactions are believably written. I was able to feel with him. The story has the right amount of sadness, annoyance and feel-good elements.
