Well i have been a lurker here for a while - At least Since the First Episode of Angharad's Epic Easy as Falling of a Bike

Well i have come to a decision, think its about time to post a story idea going on in my head.
Well this story would involve a Popular Anime/Collectable Card Game Yu-Gi-Oh, but not set in the actual Universe of the game, but where in our future where the card game has become real as the anime.

The Problem is that do i start it in the future where the hero/ine is there already. Or have it where the main hero/ine Come from the present and end up in this future

Ha! I knew that would bring the geeks in! Sorry, though. This isn't about computer failure, it's about societal failure.

There's a wonderful discussion going on now in Nick B.'s blog on what it means to be a transsexual. Nick's goal is to publish an article on the 'net that will help dispel ignorance and help promote acceptance.

Hi,

It's me again.

Having seen what a fantastic response you all gave me for my last blog (which is here if you didn't catch it) and realising that it's just the tip of the iceberg, I wanted to expand upon what I'd written for my new website.

There was a time I suspected I might have Asperger's Syndrome. Then I read a book on it and realized I didn't. Such fun! (What I think I do have is hypochondria.)

Anyway, I found this test. I wasn't looking for it. In fact I could have used this around 3 years ago. It would have saved me reading that stupid book. But, I'm very good at finding things I wasn't looking for. Or at least not recently.

I was listening to Radio 5 live tonight here in the UK, on the way home from work.

They were talking about mixed metaphors and I had a chortle at some of the ones people could remember.

Here are a few of my favourites:

From now on, I’m watching everything you do with a fine-tuned comb.

A leopard can't change his stripes.

Now I'm going to have to add a few to some of my stories, but not sure how to do it without getting my knickers in a spin.

Surfing today I ran across these quotes from various Supervillians. Thought they might prove inspirational to all those doing Retcon. :)

Hooray!
Arm out of sling for whole day and seemingly no ill effects. (Claviculee, Claviculaa.)
Bloody nuisance though. The lump in my shoulder where the broken ends overlap snags my bra strap. Gonna have to explain this to the orthopedic consultant. (I'll probably have to take a bra into his clinic to demonstrate.)
When I met him five weeks ago he seemed to be a somewhat stuffy and cencorious Pakistani. He gave my breasts a very hard stare.
This could be interesting and fun cos these days I'm an 'IN YOU FACE PARTIALLY TRANSEXUAL TRANNY'

A violent one (not work), and some demons reappeared, and I am tired and emotional and just fed up. Just needed to say something. Nothing to see,just pass on by.

I saw this pop up in my 'Recommended' list on YouTube, and couldn't resist sharing it. I know we're generally not car nuts here, but this ain't an ordinary "car" (and I use the term tentatively)...

Introducing the Ferdinand GT3 RS. It is an Austrian vehicle (currently on show in the Lentos Museum of Art, in Linz, Austria) built with an "ultra light construction", and all "unnecessary" components have been removed. As a result, it weighs less than 100kg, has zero emissions, and is completely silent.

So what's the catch? Well, one of the "unnecessary" components was the engine...

Ok so my whole delay thing is no longer a problem. It turns out that my cold was some kind of twenty four hour thing and its practically gone now. I'm busy writing chapter eleven and I should have it, and chapter twelve, up in a few days.

PS: I think this story might be longer than I originally thought. I'm not sure yet but its definitely looking like it.

Happy Labor Day to the USA BC fans!

Chapter 17 is posted. Finally we get to some action in this chapter. I hope you like it. There is the re-match between Evrat and Hikaru as hinted and promised earlier in the story here. Richard does explain himself why he wanted to go against four knights in this self-defense demonstration match. As stated in this chapter, this is to make sure the Outside Helpers know how to defend themselves if they have to. The Regional meeting does take place towards the end of the chapter.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

So, this is posted early again as I am going up to deal with my dead MIL's house yet again. So another long day ahead. You all have a fun read and think of me while I am cleaning and sorting more paper.

This is a followup blog to my last one, "I Dunno What I'm Gonna Do."

Well, I'm trying to get a week of vacation time organized at work near the end of October to go home for a week. While there, me and my parents will sit down and talk through the advantages and disadvantages of moving back to see what can be done, and I'll come out to my dad, since that HAS to be done -- and him if not okay with it then at least accepting of it -- before I'll really consider moving back.

I've been working on this over today and would be really grateful if some of you would mind giving it a look over and let me know whether I've done it justice. Click here

I would really value your input here.

Thanks in advance.

I'm messing around with a new story. I'm not sure what I'll title it; at the moment I've given it the working title of "duty and destiny.' It takes place in the same world as my stories The Necessity of Winter, and After Winter. Chronologically, I'd say it is 3 or 4 years after After Winter.

As soon as I finish it, I will post it here, but as I said, it's still in the messin around stage. I've even posted a map, but it is a little crappy. I'm so jealous of Persephone's map (I have map envy).

I was thinking of all those millions that J.K. Rowling has managed to amass and I thought that it might be a good idea to put a few of my stories on Lulu and then sit back and wait for the doubloons to come rolling in.

I got to the stage where I was thinking of opening a Swiss bank account or at least get a new piggy bank when I paused. Ms Doubt came up in my mind as she often does when I have hair brained schemes.

Is it any good? Does it work, is it like those self publishing scams where you put all the money and nothing comes out?
