It's time!!! For everyone that has been waiting, we've got 11 brand new stories for you to sink your teeth into. After you've read all the stories, make sure to vote for your favorite. The winners will be announced on October 31st, 2017. The top three stories will receive not only the recognition, but the following prizes: 1st Place 6 month Premium access 2nd Place 3 month Premium access 3rd Place 1 Month Premium access Reminder Authors and editing/beta teams are prohibited from revealing the author behind each story. Revealing the authors' identity will disqualify the story in question. Voting Procedure We are going with a blind vote for this contest. Neither the voter, nor the staff member collecting the votes will know which author wrote which story. All stories have been posted under the author name of Headless Horseman. The only site member/staff that knows the identity of each story's author is Renee Stevens. Reader1810 has willingly volunteered to collect votes. After you've read all 11 stories, PM the story name you'd like to vote for to Reader and use the subject Halloween Contest Vote. Members get to vote for one story. Please wait to vote for your choice until you have read all the stories and are certain as to which story you'd like to vote for. Voting will conclude at 2:00 PM EST on October 21st, 2017. No votes will be accepted after that time. Now, onto the stories!

In 2015, GA offered the first of a series of secret author contests, Secret Santa. I thought revisiting this contest would be great for inspiration for our latest secret author contest. There were 21 stories submitted for the Secret Santa contest... can we beat that number for our "secret" secret author contest? Link to all Secret Santa stories: https://gayauthors.org/stories/browse/?filter_categories=80& Information about the current contest:
