Attention all GA Members! Put your pen and paper down and put on those reading glasses, if you have them. It's time to do some reading, as the 2017 Spring Anthology is now live for your enjoyment! We had twelve authors take up the challenge of the Jagged Edges/Unintended Consequences themes and there are fourteen new stories and poems for you to go through. Don't forget, if you like a story, leave the author a comment to show them your appreciation.

 

All authors who participated in the anthology were entered into a drawing as part of the author incentives. The winner gets to choose which prize they would like:

  • 1 Month Premium Membership
  • 1 Month Ad Space - This can be used for a GA story, a published story, or your story collection
  • $5 Credit to the GA ebook store

 

And the winner is

CassieQ

(Pm me with your prize choice)

 

On top of author incentives, we want to encourage readers to read and comment on the anthology entries. For each story a reader comments on, they will get one entry into the drawing. Comments need to be more than just a "great story" or "I liked this". Share your thoughts with the author and you could win one of the following prizes:

  • 1 Month Premium Membership
  • $5 Credit to the GA ebook store


If you'd like to better your chances, write me a blog review (200-500 words) on your favorite story from the anthology and I'll give you an extra 2 entries! Readers will have until June 1st to review stories and/or write a blog review. The winner will be announced in the Weekly Wrap Up on June 4th.

 

Now, let's see what the authors came up with!

I can't wait to start reading all these new antho stories! I think out of everything offered on GA, the antho stories are one of my favorites. Those, and Cia's Grammar Rodeo Blogs! :)

@Renee Stevens do yo mean story reviews rather than chapter comments with this 

 

Quote

For each story a reader reviews, they will get one entry into the drawing. Reviews need to be more than just a "great story" or "I liked this".

 

Or do comments on the chapters count too, since they were reviews before the site update?

 

:thankyou: for all the hard work on this. :hug:

Glad I'm not the only one who has difficulties remembering to use comments rather than reviews. :lol:

As it's my first anthology as an author, I'll admit to being a little nervous ... @Renee Stevens I don't seem to have any available story actions. Is this the norm for antho stories or is it a symptom of the troubles we had getting the thing to post properly?

 

If I wasn't aware already of how much care and attention goes into GA's anthologies, I certainly am now. :yes:

Yes, this is normal. Editing is locked on anthology stories because any time you open the story info to edit, the system kicks it out of the anthology.

I had Friday off, so I'm all done with reading and commenting. I enjoyed all the stories and did my best on the poems. Gary, I think you'll love Sasha's story, it has horses in it. :yes:
