The picture says it all! LOL Who's picked a book or story to read thinking it was one thing and found it to be totally different from what you expected? How'd the mistake come about: tags not added, vague description, description didn't really fit the story, you didn't pay any attention to anything but the title...? Did the mistaken read turn out be a good thing or bad thing? Let's not flame anyone, discretion might be key if your story involves a piece of GA fiction that you have a not-so-great experience with in this way.

Hello to whomever is reading this! I've been a member for a couple of years now, but only recently realized I wanted to write. I'm hoping that someone is able to help me find the "add story" button, or just help me submit my work. I followed all the steps, up to the "add story" button on the stories tab, and I just don't know what to do! I can't find it! So, if anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Yes, OK, insert your own joke here and lets get it over with I'm currently posting an old story of mine (Cal) which I wrote a year or two ago, and each chapter is usually ~4000 words. I've noticed that many stories posted here have shorter chapters than this, which is interesting only because stories I am working on more recently (and yes, they will be posted on GA I promise) are tending to have even longer chapters. So my question is essentially; as a reader, do you care how long a chapter is? Sam

The Author/Reader relationship is important. Symbiotic in many ways. There’s no content for readers without authors. There’s no feedback and audience for authors without readers. We all know it’s a balancing act. On GA stories I love to see engagement. On characters, plot and anything in between. You sometimes see things you missed. There can be a downside... The dreaded Spoiler! Often just a lucky guess. As a writer, Does it frustrate you when a reader foresees plot course? Do you feel the need to rewrite? Are you pleased to see the guessing? As a reader, Do you guess a possibl

Hi all! I just ran out of things to play *carefully ignoring the pile of Steam sale uninstalled games on my account* and I'd like to get ideas for what to play next. Most of all, I love a good storyline while playing. I'm thinking something immersive and multifaceted like Mass Effect, or short yet unforgettable like Portal. What do you guys like? Which games made you go, wow, that story blew my mind? -Albert

Hey everyone! I'm posting here to hopefully try to generate some more interaction between myself and people about my story. I'm a very inexperienced writer, and any honest advice is appreciated (but that's not why I'm posting this). I'm hoping to spark up a conversation about how you feel so far about Muscle Memory. As a writer, my readers' thoughts and feelings are a big part of what fuels me to continue this story. Feel free to share anything, whether it's relating to a certain character or their experiences, how you feel about a certain situation, or just if you want to ask me

So I have an idea that came from something we used to do at camp. I hope you all like it. We take a generic sentence that is the start of a story and everyone posts One Word to continue it on. We just keep adding words to see when it goes. Try to help make complete sentences and add in any punctuation you feel is necessary at the end of your word (e.g. barn. ) *you can post as many times as you would like but someone must put a word after yours before you can post again. Just to keep it fair ------------------------ *Rule change!* I like Ron's suggestion for two words. So h

Hi I was wondering if anyone had anything from an author called either Keith Mystery or something similar. He wrote a series of stories set in Massachusetts. I vaguely remember one of the characters was a pianist and another was a poor kid living in a run down hotel. I wanted to read the story again and I can't find it.

When I posted the last chapter in this story, my life was up-side-down. For years my mother and father had sacrificed a lot, both time and money, to make sure my life was as comfortable as possible for a kid with leukemia. The weekend before this past Christmas, my mother fell down those same stairs I had and broke both of her arms. As bad as this was, especially around the holidays, we thought that was it and we could help her get through the holidays and broken arms without much problems. That wasn't to be. The accident lead to the doctors discovering major problems. It was a downward spiral

Hi, I am trying to find the name of a story I read a long time ago that I can't seem to find now. It was about 2 boys that evolve their relationship into more than friendship. One of the boys has a learning disability, but is a math genius. They both get into computer programming and they end up making a company for computer chips and programs. That is where the updates stopped. I believe the story took place in Texas, maybe San Antonio. It was a really special story for me, and I would like to read it again. Thanks for all your help!

Hello, everyone! I emailed my beta today and now I'm wondering what folks here think. I'm editing https://www.gayauthors.org/story/dark/theoneiwant. There are parts of it that still felt rough after posting it here the first time and I'm fixing those annoying POV shifts. Seriously, they annoyed me before but I couldn't figure out how/why at the time. Now I know how to fix them. Plus, there are some loose ends that need tied up. For example, anyone want to know why Ben was crying in the bathroom after Ollie was born? And what happened right after the birth? I know they send preemi

Hi everyone! So, I had an interesting chat with someone today who just read The One I Want for the first time. She said that her favorite character (aside from Ben) is Riley because he seemed like the calm center of the storm -- when Ben was hurt and everyone else panicked, Riley was the one to hold things together. I find this interesting because Riley has such a small part in the story and yet this reader is not the first to say how much she enjoyed this character. So, I was wondering, who else would choose Riley as their favorite character? and what is it about this character t

Trials and Tribulations: Editors and Beta Reader
Billy Martin posted a blog entry in Billy Martin's Blog
Trials and Tribulations is being received a lot better than I ever imagined when I began the story. I know the heart of the story is coming from within me, my experiences, love, and desires; but without the work my editors and beta reader have put into this story, I fear a lot of what makes the story what it is, would be missing. When I first decided to try writing a story, I asked people I had met in the chat room and other people I knew online if they would edit for me. Believe me, I definitely needed one. Of all the people I asked, only one offered to help, and that was Trevor. Trevor w
