As we gear up for the Sept. 20 Gay Romance Northwest Meet-Up 2014 at the Seattle Public Library, we thought it would be fun to do another Secret Story Event in our GRNW GoodReads group! (Similar to our 2013 event.)
What is a Secret Story Event?
Popular especially in fanfiction communities, Secret Story Events are about posting a story first but not listing the author.
This is a fun way to go in “cold’ into a story without any preconceived notions of style or previous works. Then later we unveil the authors, and you can see how close your guess was! (And maybe even discover a new author who you hadn’t read before.)

We have six awesome secret stories to share this year, all contributed by GRNW 2014 Attending Authors!

Can not believe there is a subject that’s eclipsed daily Kardashian brunch reports. “Ermagerd, Ebola, we are all gonna die!” The quantity of narrow-minded folks on earth is astounding.
