Miss Mars - apologies

I want to apologize, but that latest installment of Out of the Ashes is taking longer than I expected.

I know what I want to happen, and how it should happen -- and I'm kinda excited about it, but my muse isn't helping me to break it down into bite-sized story pieces just yet.

Plus that pesky real life keeps butting into my writing time :)

Anyway, just wanted to say I haven't abandoned Megan just yet. I think there's at least two more chapters to this arc.

AG Research: Lake Michigan

A decent sized chunk of my next AquaGirl story is going to involve her swimming around in Lake Michigan. But being a UK citizen, I know virtually nothing about it other than what I can dig up on a Wikipedia trawl. So, since I figure some of you probably live a little nearer it than I do, I thought I'd pick your brains... :)

"First, Be A Woman"

Just tripped over a link to this (Thanks SLOG and Horse Meat Disco!)

It's an obscure, extended mix disco track by Leonnore O'Malley, later covered by Gloria Gaynor.

The lyrics are of a woman giving advice to a TG person on dating men. It's very positive and upbeat, if you like that sort of thing. :) I thought it might cheer someone up.

The Crossover Begins!

First, I'd like to offer my apologies to anyone who doesn't like superheroes or the Retcon universe for the utter spam of stories of late as I've built up to this, my first attempt at a real Retcon crossover storyline.

Sure, we've had cameos and brief crossings before now, but this is the big one I'd been leading up to for some time now. It's probably the most ambitious thing I've ever done as a writer, and the concept terrifies me. My Muse, however, remains confident (and crazy) as she eternally stands between me and sleep.

Life Drawing 101

Life Drawing 101

by Jonelle

It was my first semester in the Art Department. I wasn't thrilled with the idea of drawing naked people, it really wasn't what I had in mind when I changed my major from Biochem.

I just thought I'd be able to draw some pretty pictures, and get away from all the formulae and math that I had no further tolerance for.

Don't get me wrong. I've always been a bit of a science geek. Astrophysics, sub-atomic particles; muons, nuons, quarks and the like have always fascinated me. Biology was just second nature though.

Boys Will Be Boys

Chapter 5 — Impressive, Me?
OR
The Spy Who Brained Me

Last time...
I took him through the whole story from the beginning. He didn't stop me once, just sat there and took notes on a little notepad. He changed pages a lot, I think he must have filled the whole pad!

By the end Marcie was crying openly and had her head on my shoulder. Mrs. Donner had a few tears in her eyes, too. Officer Daniels was scowling. "That's quite a story, John. If we hadn't already searched your aunt's house, I might have trouble believing it. We found the estrogen she was giving you, and that locked basement room. We also found the tactical baton she used to break your ribs. There are still tests to run, including a blood test on you to prove the estrogen is in your system, but it's going to be a slam dunk, I think. You're a really brave kid." he said.

I shook my head, "If I was really that brave I would have broken out of there a lot sooner, instead of giving in to my aunt and dressing and acting like a girl."

PayPal Problem

Someone raided my PayPal account for $400. Paypal was suspicious so they flagged the transaction but NOT before charging my credit card. I contacted the seller and they have agreed to refund the charges so it will get resolved. Meanwhile I have to wonder who the heck got into my PayPal account and charged $400 against a social networking sites internal accounts.

little bit stuck

Well, i am working on my Amanda Waller story, and a little bit stuck. What i need is a way to get from Amanda coming back home for the first time after her transformation, to fighting a local gang, who will be led by a name that might be familier to comic book readers, - Tombstone. Wish me luck.

Thunder and Lightning

I may not be on much today, there's thunderstorms and flashfloods predicted for this area from now till the early morning. We're pretty safe from flashfloods, there are arroyos either side of me to channel the rainwater away but lightning, winds or floods may take out the power. I'll be staying off line, mostly, till this blows over, using my laptop or phone to access the site.

MI6 agent death: Wild Sun speculation

Background: A person who was coming to the end of a secondment from GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) to MI6 (Secret Intelligence Service) was discovered dead in his flat, his body contained within a bag within his bath. The first post mortem was inconclusive, and there's speculation he'd been killed two weeks beforehand. As there was no sign of forced entry, it's believed the victim knew his attacker - so his private life is being investigated.

Next Story

I'm not nearly done with my Green Arrow Retcon but I'd like to propose a vote. I've currently got two more stories in the works, another Retcon and a new Center story.

I wanted to know which one I should write and post first?

My new Retcon is going to be about the Jaime Reyes incarnation of Blue Beetle. I've got some pretty cool ideas on how to do it. My new Center story is about a pair of twins, a brother and sister, who change at the same time and are hounded by some shadowy individuals who are out to get them. So what do you guys think, which one should I write first?

My brother's acting like an A** hole! What should I do? Serious Rant!

This is so hard! Ontop of everything else, I just don't know what to do.

Mom went into my Brother's room awhile ago to get batteries so She could check my blood-pressure. She was concerned about the effect of my new antidepressants, as was I. Well, the pressure was O.K.,(though on the very low side), but a few minutes later my Brother came storming out of his room and slammed a bunch of batteries down on the table.

He was screaming about getting his own place as soon as he could.

A hooker with a heart of gold

I've been reading several comments about Assassin pertaining to Stan and not feeling the love. Several have said they can't feel empathy toward the boy. I'm sorry to pop that balloon, but Stan is an assassin. I'm sorry that some of my readers think that I'm not going in the right direction, but the story is what it is. A boy led adrift and he kills people. Yes he has many issues he hasn't dealt with and yes he's trying to be a patriotic citizen. The important thing to remember is that he's eighteen. Even if he had never been to Afghanistan he would still be immature.

Masculine/feminine writing style

Several years ago, there was a "thing" going round about our writing voices. There was even a test to take and I rated quite feminine in my speech patterns, and actually still have the list of feminine words, pasted on the side of my monitor, that women "supposedly" use. The whole shtik is that women's speech patterns are more tentative and colaborative.

I wonder if any of that makes sense now?

Chapter 14 is posted for the Omega Unicorn

I am back BC fans,

I'm sorry for the late add. My PC developed a bug. I was told first it was a hardware issue. Then a software issue. They said it worked fine for 24 hours without self shutting off. They used MS Security Essentials free download. They said they download it onto my PC. They didn't. So, I download it myself. I hope it works. I also bought a new UPS device. That should smooth the spikes from our frequent lightning storms here in Florida.

Back to the story.

AquaGirl: Treasure Hunt

First up, I've started writing AquaGirl 2: Chicago Water Torture
(Well, I couldn't resist another corny aquatic title - and what Rena's about to go through would be torture... for anyone else!)

Secondly, as you read through AquaGirl 1: Born in a Watery Grave, you may have noticed the occasional reference to a Sci-Fi show.

Those references were quite deliberate.

Unless I added any others before compiling the list of references, you should find 18 different references, either hidden in plain sight, alluded to, or otherwise concealed.

Dormouse Assault Course

Hello.

For all the followers of EAFOAB, I just thought you would like to know that one council is taking the dormouse situation seriously, no matter what the cost

Here’s the link:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-11082007

Whilst I am glad it’s not on my council bill, I do hope the first dormouse to use it has undergone a council Health and Safety check.
Love to All

The Center is dedicated to finding the children affected by a mutagen accidrntly enfused into a water bottling plant's water supply. Any pregnant woman who drinks any of the water dies soon after giving birth to an inter-sexed child.

The child may be born a male or female, but when puberty hits, their gender reverses and are blessed with a telekinetic , telepathic, or empathic gift that manifestes just before puberty.

More coming

Well, I'm going on a story that Lilith and I were co-writing. But she can't think of anything to do to it, so I'm finishing the story. It's coming, Batgirl/Catwoman retcon. But it going to take me a bit to finish it up. It's at 20 pages and growing now.

Don't despair, things will come.

Don't know if I'm going to be finishing the other series though. I have to just to wrap them up, but other than just tying up the hanging threads, I don't think I'll do much more. My Ninja Muse just isn't talking to me much anymore.

Suggestions for dissemination of new 360,000 tg novel

I've just finished a 360,000-page tg novel. It should be available soon via an Amazon subsidiary. How and where should I publicize it? Would it be appropriate to put excerpts here in BigCloset? Below I've pasted a part of the back-cover blurb--it gives a pretty good idea of the plot.

Napoleon said that women are only baby machines.

George disagrees: They are also very good machines for cooking and cleaning.

Would he still hold that opinion if he found himself renamed “Pansy-Ann” and filling out a dress?

The Snow White that wasn't


Did I see the dress as a threat to my legacy, an insult to generations of men who fought wars and presided over propane grills? No, I honestly don't believe that a 4-year-old's Halloween costume has the power to cement his sexual identity for life. I was not threatened by fears of a same-sex, vegan wedding ceremony or a rejection of power tools and the Super Bowl. A far more immediate evil loomed in my magic mirror: children who mock other children.

Well, no more comments again.
Never mind.
It'll shortly be finished and I can post some other stuff. Just a few more chapters probably 30.

Did a few more miles on Miranda this afternoon. Shoulder hurting a bit but the clavicle isn't grinding end to end, (crepitus.)
Few more days and I'll be back in harness.

The Funniest Book In The English (?) Language

Someone has posted a public domain version of a famously thin and stupid book known as English As She Is Spoke.

Mark Twain wrote the forward to the first American Version. Here is an excerpt of that forward:

Many persons have believed that this book's miraculous stupidities were
studied and disingenuous; but no one can read the volume carefully through and keep
that opinion. It was written in serious good faith and deep earnestness, by an honest
and upright idiot who believed he knew something of the English language, and could

Enought is enough. Who ever did it stop it, NOW! This borders on theft

I was informed that someone has been spoofing my IP address(s) here to badmouth other members of BC.

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ! and I do not apologize for shouting,

I may joke, I may kid others here -- ones I know well and who know me -- but I never have and hope I never will attack any one for being themselves or for what they post. I may not like things others might post but it is their post not mine, their opinion/taste not mine and it is not fair for me to criticize others except for when they attack me or someone else unfairly.

A Question of Character(s)

How often are your characters influenced by other media, either in direct inspiration or as a base template to extrapolate and 'grow' from?

For example in Becoming Robin Nicole is loosely based on an original character of mine from several years ago. The key differences are age and upbringing, and of course Raven Wing is based on Nicole.
