Apparently, my univese cross-ref went unnoticed

Submitted by on

There was a surprise cross-reference in Temptation of Anya - Part 3, but apparently nobody noticed it, or if they did notice, they didn't comment or PM me about it. DID anyone notice it, or was I too subtle? I thought it was as blatant as a 2x4 across the forehead!

Transgender Latinas from Queens, NY.

This turned up on the Guardian website and I found it very sad. There are some links to reports and also some photos of the 'girls' working as prostitutes. Sometimes I think I need to count my blessings more often. The intolerance they have had or still receive is beyond my experience no wonder the health issues, substance abuse and other problems are so prevalent.

looking for a story

Submitted by on

I am looking for a story. In it there is a boh who is staying someplace else, as his parents are out of country. While at the other place. The son there picks on him so he goes to ride his bike and is hit and pinned under the car. He loses his male parts and a nurse keeps putting makeup on him in the hospital. Any ideas?

Congratulations Tanya Allan

Submitted by on

I think it's important to celebrate when one of us does well in the commercial markets. I don't think people quite understand how difficult it is to get ranked on Amazon within any Genre, especially bigger ones. Tanya has always enjoyed great success right out of the gate with anything she has published, so well that I'm down right jealous, and her newest release "In the Shadows" is no surprise. I'm glad to see something of length and value do so well.

So, what has me singing her praises....

Part 2

Stephan awoke slowly recalling all that had been done and all the changes that were to be made in him. That he was awakening as a girl for the first time frightened him. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked about his new bedroom.

Wes Boyd's The Girl in the Mirror

Submitted by on

I just finished reading Wes Boyd's The Girl in the Mirror, and was very impressed. While not trans myself, it struck me as being a very good novel following a trans girl through her late adolescence, RLT, and following on post-op. Very sympathetic, very well written. I heartily recommend it to all of you.

Happy endings are not always the best call

Submitted by on

In a story I am contributing to together with my Anglo-Irish literary shadow, I imagine there will be a desire on the part of the reader to see the protagonist, named Alev, and her love interest find a way of being together in the end. Alev’s love for him, however, is too precious to her to risk it by telling him the truth. By leaving as it is suggested at present, she can always live with the notion he loves her still in a way that is pure, unsullied by the harsh realities of the corrupt and venial world they both live in.

Some days you can't win

Submitted by on

There are days that are so f'ing depressing where nothing goes right, and you have to wonder why keep trying? Still have a bad headache from the concussion that makes concentrating - and thus work - very difficult, so I'm getting further behind every day. Son's truck died inexplicably on the freeway yesterday, which means more $$$ I can't afford. Oldest is home from college and already making a mockery of house rules, and I'm getting zero backup from my spouse.

MESMERIZE

By Jennifer Sue

Part 1

The job was thankless and often boring, but at least upper management recognized it's importance because the salary was double what similar positions paid. Lydia Templin was quite efficient as the research/reference librarian for a major pharmaceutical company. In this position she was responsible for indexing articles in scientific and research journals so that if one of the researchers in the company wanted information, she would be able to promptly obtain it. In addition, she was responsible for filing and cross referencing all research documents produced by the company.

When upper management decided to try to find a drug to control the unbridled sex drive of child-molesters and rapists, a request came in from R & D for information on drugs that reduced sex drive in males. Lydia pulled up every listing of drugs that had references of reduced sex drive and then set about to dutifully cull every reference. One drug, TTX, seemed to repeatedly pop up but none of the clinical studies showed any consistent results. Lydia's sent all the information on to R & D.

Later in the day,I will explain more in details inb my blog why I felt personnaly attacked by all this buzz and why I was evidence of humour in speaky of the LGBT community and not to the trans.I said that somebody had the queen that they can.MP green held a press conference yesterday and apparently the trans aid association to which I belong has not been invited.What I said in the form of humour may be always misunderstood by some people in anglo-saxon cuture which I can understand and I don't want.I haven't watched this show.I'd rather spend the time to read that you write.We did not need

Progress and a Thank You

Submitted by on

I know I haven't been too productive since Martin and I got Frank working but things have been a bit crazy around here. First, Frank doesn't always cooperate (sometimes the video card just doesn't want to boot with the rest of the system). Second I've been really exhausted for the past three weeks. A little over two months ago Martin and Francine were trying to work out a choreography for an ‘invitational spectacular’ that is held every year, it’s sort of a year-end party for the local dance community. Francine is Martin’s mom, fellow choreographer, and my other dance teacher.

Max sat in the quiet solitude of his study sipping on a dark colored liquor from Ariellian IV, when a noise caused him to glance up. It was Elise, she was wrapped in her robe and holding a cup of tea, the string swinging just outside. Max smiled and sat his drink down, "Come in Elise, sit with me awhile."

She slipped inside the room, and settled into a chair opposite her fathers. "What brings you up on such an early hour?

Editors Are Awesome

Submitted by on

We here in the Closet don't often give our editors the credit they deserve publicly, and that's something that I'm hoping to correct here, not only because I feel she deserves it, but also because I think that there are a few of you who might appreciate how her work has helped me.
