This is a link to an article that Bob Arnold wrote for the Madison County, NY Courier. It has a cute caricature of him behind his computers. It is from May 20, 2011. I am still looking for an obit. It is possible that if this is a weekly that there will be nothing for a few days.

Several updates and a question

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

First off I just want everyone to know I'm alive and well, my mother, aunt and grandmother all survived the accident. They are now recovering, and the one who was hurt the most, was my grandfather as he was the driver and came out without a scratch. He feels horribly guilty still, but I don't blame him. He couldn't help it, he had an episode while driving, it could happen to anyone. I just hope he finds peace in his heart to forgive himself.

Following an idea from Lilith in response to my (very) short story Trope: Averted...

Take a trope (but preferably one that tends to be associated with TG fiction, such as this list I compiled earlier [i.e. about 18 months ago])...

...and either avert it, subvert, invert it or otherwise play with it (the link contains brief examples of each).

Party time

Richard glanced at the calender, and sighed. It was the day before his fortieth birthday, and it was an occasion he dreaded. But not just for the usual reasons - the idea of getting older rarely appealed after twenty five, but for a more complicated reason.

Richard had never really felt “right” as a male. Sadly, it had taken him far too long to realize there was actually something he could had done about that, and so he approached forty no further along toward being a woman than he had at twenty.

A Sweets Life-Chapter 9

A Sweets Life-Chapter 9

At last! I apologize for the delay! Too many personal issues, and a muse on “vacation”. Hah! As if.

High school life tends to be a bit dramatic sometimes, and “cliques” form fairly early. The popular kids, the brains, the slackers, and all the smaller subgroups would be recognizable to anyone who has ever attended an American high school. There are always cross-overs, like a Jock who is popular and brainy, or a cheerleader that understands math and computers. This is generally accepted and normal.

Is it appropriate to discuss the tags on a story in comments?

Forums: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

No, it is not. Such discussion should take place in PMs or perhaps in a forum topic like this one.

Think about it. The comments are supposed to stay with a story. Discussing the tags puts the author in the position of either agreeing with the commenter and changing the tags, in which case the comment is rendered meaningless or disagreeing with the commenter in which case the comment thread becomes tangential to the story as the author defends their position. Either way, it can't help to detract from the value of the story as a story.

Shaving Mishap

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Hey BC, last week I had a go at shaving my legs for the first time. Turns out it was a bad idea as I was unprepared, though I managed not to cut myself at least. My advice if you have lots of hair have a bag full of disposable razors at the ready. I blunted mine before I got past my knees and whilst it could still handle the longer hairs it could no longer get the stubble; that was itchy for a while. I fixed it by buying some hair removal cream so I'm fine now. Probably should have asked for some advice before I tried but whats done is done.

Well, I somehow broke my glasses last night. (Or rather, this morning, to be more precise.) I went to move a stray hair from my wig out of my eyes, and next thing I know, out comes my lens and the frame was broken beyond simple repair. I was telling this to someone who was coming in this morning, and said, "Life just seems to like to make things fun for me."

She said, "I wouldn't call breaking your glasses fun."

I said, "Ma'am, after spending 45 years in the wrong gender, I have a pretty good understanding of Life's sense of humor."

Ah, well.

A New Life

In 1999, Jennifer Adams wrote a story called "Stoned". I loved the story (if you've never read it, please do! I read it on FictionMania, and my story makes much more sense if you read "Stoned" first) but the ending was such a downer! Being the "fluffy bunny" that I am. I couldn't just leave it like that! I was actually just trying to work through some serious writer's block, and this came to mind. I hope you enjoy it, and Jennifer, if you're still out there, thank you for such a great story for me to start with!

Edmonton isn't known for summer storms, but they do happen, and we had a doozy last night. I was at work, and was working just outside the garden center, when small bits of hail began to fall inside! I moved a couple of pallets out in case they got damaged, and had just completed this little project when the skies opened of, and the roof decided to not do its job. It was like watching a waterfall from behind as the water rushed down into the garden center for at least a half hour straight. I bet they had fun cleaning it up today ....

My Inner Kitteh

My inner bitch came out today, as I loaded my grocery shopping ready to ride home. A very obvious M2F woman, of mature years, pushed her trolley past me, wearing a dress that was far, far too short. Out came my canine, snarling and sneering in my mind.

Then I thought more reasonably. Here is a girl who has had the courage to get to where she has always wanted to be, to be who she should have been, and if she wants to wear a not-so-slinky* black knitted minidress, who am I to deny her?

Good luck, and best wishes, girl!

Wiltshire Colloquialisms

I'm doing a story that includes an upper class character in Wiltshire. I've searched and searched for a decent website that can show me how a person speaks from this region of England. The closest I can find is heavy slang and street-talk which my character wouldn't use.

I'd rather not use the cliche "upper-crust-snobby" speak... unless that's the way they really talk. I can't imagine that being the case.

Anyone out there know of a site or is from the area that might be able to lend a hand?

As someone who was outted by the above named scandal rag many years ago, the premise offered by their journalist was that it was human interest, I was a departmental head in the local NHS at the time, I'm not shedding a single tear.

Heaven Can Wait

Heaven Can Wait

Melanie Ezell's big closet ultimate writer's challenge — Heaven's gift

A tribute (with somewhat shameless 'borrowing' from the 1978 film starring Warren Beatty), with a few inevitable changes of my own, although I've done my best to set it around the same time.

Hey, if the entire film's up there on YouTube (start off with 'Heaven Can Wait (FULL FILM)Part 1' if you're interested), I don't see why I can't get away with this.
