This is the definition of a Tor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(rock_formation) The one I climbed was Glastonbury Tor.

I have a great deal on real estate in Florida for anyone who buys Steve's life insurance

I just spent two wonderful weeks in the south of England, seeing everything from the Cerne Giant (Google it if you're not familiar... ) to Stonehenge at sunset. I could write an entire story about all the sights and experiences from the trip, but at the moment, will have to settle with two prompts based of actual things I experienced during my adventures. PT Prompt #217 After travelling for over 24 hours with pretty much no sleep and lots of Dramamine (motion sickness med that makes you very drowsy), you arrive at the house you rented in a foreign country with your friends. You all enjoy a delicious dinner, then decide to hike up the local Tor to see the sunset. Despite very little physical prepping for the trip, you make it to the top and celebrate this achievement! On the way back down, in the dark, you encounter a man on his way up the Tor. You stop to let him by, and end up talking for over ten minutes. At the end of the conversation, the man tells you he loves you and then you exchange a heartfelt hug. What was the conversation about? What happens next? PT Prompt #218 You've rented out the majority of a house for your trip with your friends with the exception of one room. During your stay, there are other guests who have booked that room. The one time you decide to cook breakfast instead of having yogurt or cereal, you set off the fire alarm in the kitchen. What were you cooking? How do the other guests react? Please include the prompt number either in your story/chapter description or title to help readers who would like to search for specific prompts. Also, please remember that stories less than one thousand words must be posted as part of a collection. If you check the subgenre 'prompt' in your story tags, then people/readers can find everything here: https://gayauthors.org/stories/browse/subgenre/prompt/ As an FYI per Aditus' request, I wanted to let everyone know that he is taking a short break from his GA duties to attend to family matters. Cole Matthews and I will be alternating weeks to continue to bring you prompts every week. Addy hopes to be back by late summer.

May 2, 2025 would have been Comicality's fiftieth birthday. We thought that would be a perfect day to feature a tribute to our beloved friend, author, and mentor. We're announcing it now so that his fans will have an entire year to work on writing a story, letter, poem, or whatnot on a topic that resonates with them with respect to Comicality. Coming of Age - A Tribute to Comicality Due date for submissions: April 25, 2025 No minimum length One submission per author, containing one chapter, or one prologue plus one chapter. The usual GA content guidelines do apply. Please use appropriate genres, tags, and story/chapter notes as applicable for your submission along with any message you wish to add to your tribute. Stay tuned for further details, but this should be enough information to get started.

Uh that's clearly confetti and much more pleasant than anything that comes out of your behind

We already had the biggest day of the year, that went woefully unacknowledged

Since it's poetry reading day, I think everyone who hasn't already done so needs to check out the poetry anthology

I'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this year's GA Poetry Anthology a huge success! We had 16 poetry submissions to read, all of which are linked to below. If you haven't already, I highly recommend checking them out and leaving our site poets a comment, reaction, review, recommendation, or all of the above! I'm thrilled with the support for this year's poetry anthology, and I'm already working on next year's anthology. So thank you, site poets for your incredible contributions, and thank you, site readers for supporting our poets with so many lovely comments and reviews! Putting together GA anthologies is very much a team effort, so I would also like to thank everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this anthology possible.

How could you leave off World Penguin Day???? 🤯 🐧

I hope to read and comment on everything this weekend. I am still recovering from my trip and appointment yesterday.

Nothing wrong with going on a picnic with your bestie
