Superheroes: A Warning

Interesting podcast from The Guardian

The portion on Superheroes starts at 27:20

Her thesis is that the film versions of superhero characters are typically hypermasculinised in comparison to the stories portrayed in the comics the characters are drawn from, and reduces the acceptable story arcs to a handful of "movie versions."

I'm pretty floored. Today has been exactly one month since I've started writing on this site. I've been a member for a while but last month was the first time that I've ever gotten up enough courage to post something here, even though I've wanted to for a long time. I've been extremely overwhelmed by all the great comments and praise that my stories have received from everyone one.

So thanks to you all and here's hoping there will be many stories to come.

…that there seems to be a small problem with his and Angharad's ISP which appears to be down for some reason. EAFOAB Part 1092 has been written (in fact Angharad read it to me–aren't I a lucky girl?) but she won't e able to post it till a bit later. She has gone to bed (to rest her knee) and hopes to be able to post it later this morning (23rd August).

They both send hugs to all (as do I)

Gabi.

I went to my 20th High School Reunion last night and the reaction to me was very positive. The girls I spent time with in High School welcomed me with open arms. We had so much fun! There were eight of us girls out on the floor at one time and we just let loose! We danced four dances in a row before we sat down to rest. My friends were thrilled that I found happiness and that I was finally on the same side of the fence with them.

In experiments in Spain, men are being put into virtual reality as girls to determine their reactions when, as virtual girls, they experience violence. An interesting story.

It can surely be only a matter of time before we are able to use such software for our personal use.

Came by to look for the latest chapter of Wendy Pilgrim by Nancy Cole and all of Nancy's stuff is deleted again. Did someone leave a comment better left unsaid? I am disappointed that another author has left. I really wanted to find out who the Colonel was and how the story turned out.

I don't comment very often because I have a hard time putting thoughts into words and don't like just saying great story. The Kudos button is a good idea.

Hello Everyone,

This evening I was shocked to learn that this site was "Banned" from the "Network" Presumably that was Bellsouth.net, which is my ISP. The notice appeared on a page that had the logos of OPEN-DNS. It stated the blockage was due to Big Closet being classified as having nudity, pornography and sexually explicit material. If they are so open, why are they doing this?

I updated this weeks chapter early as I have a really busy day tomorrow and I didn't know if it would get up tomorrow. So there you go. That shouldn't be a problem next week, a far as I know.

I hope people are enjoying this so far.

I went to Bristol pride today. Thoroughly enjoyed going around all the stands and chatting about TG issues.
I think I'm becoming a grumpy old Tranny. (Bizarre visions of a BBC series about grumpy old GLBT's) My God wouldn't that be blast.

The biggest wind-up was asking some heterosexists politicians why there has to be a box declaring the sex of the child on a birth certificate. (Think about it.) I posed them some pretty tricky questions and they could not give me any justifiable answers when viewed through the baby's eyes and transgendered eyes.

For anyone who is following my story at the moment, my apologies. I have my plot nicely sorted, and am some way ahead of the episodes posted here so far, but I go onto night shift next week and am then away at the folk festival where Steph was born. This means that she will be unavailable for a while at the end of August Be assured,for good or bad she has a life to lead, and a book to finish.

Yesterday I got my first full spa day. I had a facial, manicure and pedicure, haircut and a massage. We got to the place at 9 in the morning and left at 320. Lots of pampering and it was well worth it. The stress of this summer is not gone but is reduced.

I got a lovely layered haircut, that looks really cute. My nails are a dark semi metalic forest green. The facial was lovely. 30 minutes of lying back and having my face rubbed. What bliss.

Anyway... that was yesterday.

Hey all!

As requested, I've uploaded the full, unresized concept images for Aria Blade, Raven Wing, Coronal Rose and Volcaness as they appear in-costume in Chapter 19 of Becoming Robin, "Halloween".

Posting this in blog form, but I'll be shortly adding it as an Outline/child page to Chapter 19.

Hey,

Just wanted to let everyone know the next episode of Becoming Robin is almost ready for primetime. I need to put the finishing touches on the final scenes (the big reveal/party) before the story moves ahead, but it just doesn't feel right.
