This is a sad story. A post op TS murdered by her brothers, in a country that trumpets they have no gays because they are required to have sex changes. Note the length of sentence handed out, and the attitude of the father. However, murder of TG and TS folks in the US and other "western" countries are often due, at their most basic, to some male thinking is reputation has been besmirched by him being attracted or having sex with a TS/TG. Not so different in motive, I think, but increasingly different in the way the crime is seen by law. Doesn't help the victim though....

Hi everyone! I'm working on a story called Square Dance Stand In, but there's a couple of snags I've run into.

I was sick on Monday, and then my birthday was Tuesday. I was still getting better, but my wife decided to take me out to Sushi. Strangely, it sat better on my stomach than anything else had in about 48 hours.

If you were wondering what that scream was you heard about an hour ago, it was me.

See at that point I realized that I left (hopefully) the flashdrive with all my stories on it, in my computer at work. At least I hope that's where it is.

As a result the next part of my little story will not be posted until Monday.

Insert your favorite dirty word here {_____}

"I don't know who or what you are anymore."

It's a line from the movie, "Judge Dredd". Hershey's apartment's been trashed, the whole Judicial system's turned upside down, etc. and she thinks Dredd's a part of it. But it was the most appropriate quote I could think of to properly convey how I feel right now

Yes I know that by now you may be tired of reading about the Gabycon that happened last weekend. However I enjoyed it so much I had to just have to write it down and share it with you.

One doesn't choose one's family... They just are.

Its been a few weeks since i posted anything and as Gabycon attendees have already had it read to them i thought it only fair to distribute my largese!

I am wondering which author has used the Intergang in their story.

I was flipping through channels last night when I happened to come across a great show on MTV called "If You Only Knew Me" A team of counselors goes into different schools and seeks to unite the school and break up the various cliques that exist by showing them they have more in common than they think. In last night's episode, they went to Neenah High School in Neenah, Wisconsin. There were the usual Jocks, Preppies, Stoners and EMO kids.

The headline just about says it all. The weather gods were mostly beneficent, except I got ice cream in my hair walking across Lulworth Cove thanks to the breeze. The pictures on Maddy's site show the area in which I'm privileged to live, so I hope you have a look at them.

Plus there's the continuation of the race Drew began in the previous episode - it's a corker!

For those too lazy to find the site, here's a link:

Salutations and greetings:

After a few months of quiet (okay my computer was down) I am back online. My operations were successful and I am back among the living. The operations were ... well they took more out of me than I expected and I am recovering and getting ready for the next phase of my life.

Just wanted to update everyone.

Since Mads and Bev have given their 2p worth, I thought I'd join the club - but to be different, I'll give a rough outline of the weekend's events. I've also deliberately left a lot of it vague, to both tease you and not spoil things in case any of the other attendees decide to write in more detail about proceedings.

Saturday, 5am.
The things I do in the name of fun... waking up at a ridiculously early hour on a weekend to travel half way across the country to spend a weekend with a bunch of random people I've met on the internet. On the one hand, I'm a little nervous and apprehensive (for a variety of fairly obvious reasons); on the other I'm excited about finally putting faces and voices to some of the people whose writing I read every day here on TopShelf.

Oh, and there's also the small matter of this being the third bunch of random internet strangers I've met - the first being regulars on this blog (and what could be stranger than fans of a blog of a radio news magazine show?!); the second being fans / participants of this project held last year.

It Seems that now my fic has gone to 5 chapters and is going to more than that, someone has decided to write story set in my Fan-fic universe - im highly honored

If you want to write a fanfic for this universe there are some rules

No more time travel - unless u come up with a good reason
You cant write about any characters i have already mentioned but they can be mentioned as plot if needed
You cant write about the head of duel academy or 3 Egyptian god cards

Everyting else is fair game

In transit for the next 47 hours...
