Submitted by on

"Megan?" I heard someone ask while we were eating. I turned to look, and Emily was standing there, looking at me trying to decide if what she was seeing was real.

"Hi Em," I started, not quite sure how to explain my presence

Any spare pocket money?

Submitted by on

According to this link on the Beeb, some of Audrey Hepburn's gowns and hats are up for auction, so if you fancy some new glad rags... Oh, I'd better warn you, the last two pieces of her stuff that were auctioned raised over a million pounds ...but then it's for a good cause. Breakfast at Tiffany's anyone?

New (dodgy) gender differences research

Submitted by on

Men's genes 'may limit lifespan'
Men carry the seeds of their own destruction in the genes present in their sperm, research suggests. Scientists working on mice have highlighted a specific gene that, although carried by both sexes, appears to be active only in males. They believe it allows males to grow bigger bodies - but at the expense of their longevity. The study, by Tokyo University of Agriculture, appears in the journal Human Reproduction.

Sad News

Submitted by on

I'm not sure many of you have paid it any attention over the last few months but Goldie Hunter has not frequented the forum for months. The sad news is that Goldie has passed on and is no longer with us. She had been very busy in the last several months and had been unable to keep up with everything that she wanted to do and it finally caught up to her. She left us on Thanksgiving night, 2009. I just barely found out myself. She was a private person although her love for the Whateley universe allowed her to interact with others about it.

How to use the title box

Submitted by on

Please Please Please Read This!

I have to mention this every once in a while, like about eight times this week already:

Please

Don't use number words or Roman numerals in the title box of chapters because that makes it very difficult to keep them in order.

Don't use plurals like "chapters" or "parts" unless you're going to always use plurals.

Don't use more than one space between words or numbers in titles.

Don't get tricky with the punctuation, like :-- or ......... or putting the title in quotes.

For the sake of my sanity, don't change the title of the story half way through!

Do put the story title and author name inside the story box, too, BTW.

There was nothing my dad could have done, it happened so suddenly. He slammed on the brakes and he tried to swerve, but it didn't help. We still slammed into the rock at 30 mph.

Saying Good-bye: A Tribute to T. D. Aldoennetti

by Terry Volkirch

This story is a tribute to T. D. Aldoennetti. It's also self-indulgent therapy. I'm sorry but I need to get it out of my system. I'm really broken up about Teddi's death.

I don't expect any votes or comments, but I'm leaving the story open to comments just in case the rare mood strikes.

Homophobia

Submitted by on

Hi folks,

A question was raised today on HubPages about homophobes.

I know so many of you here have feelings about this as do I and I took it upon myself to produce a page which I hope sums up this issue, but I would welcome comments with regards to improving or including missing information.

I'd love to hear from you.

Whatever Happened to...

Submitted by on

I may be impatient but, whatever happened to the "Homecoming Queen" series, "The Feminizer... " series and the series where a boy is transformed into a girl to spy on a secret group of scientists (It's been so long, I've lost the name of the series...Sorry)

I do try to follow series and stick with them but when there's such a long space of time, I kind of lose track...This is not a flame, just a question. If these won't be back, just let us all know and we can move on. I stuck with "Changes" and "No Half Measures" because their updates were frequent.

A friendly inquiry.

Samantha's Story part 8

Submitted by on

The exercise in creating a back story for 'Samantha' was a real stretch for her creative abilities. Most things she grew up with could be tweaked to a girl's perspective, but some things just couldn't. Writing birthday parties she wore a dress to instead of pants and t-shirt she had been in was an interesting exercise in fantasy.

The journal of Samantha's life became something of an obsession. She found herself thinking about scenes from her life as a girl, skinned knees, climbing through drainage pipes as though they were a super-secret tunnel with friends, and all the other normal activities of a child. The thoughts constantly revolved in her mind, no matter where she was or what she was doing. She kept finding her mind drifting to real memories and more and more found it easy to see the same scene as a girl. She even invented tea parties and dance classes that she never attended.

"Right," I said when Mom released the hug and looked back at me, worry in her eyes. "Well, he thinks I'm a girl."

"Is that what you want?" she asked me. Frustrated, I sighed. My mom had asked me that question way too often. Moms weren't supposed to ask their sons if they wanted to be girls, right?

Into the West


Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

"In fact," he continued, pulling something out of his top drawer. "I'd like to offer you the chance to make a demo CD. You've got the type of voice that we're looking for."

I was completely shocked now! I wasn't good enough for a recording contract! Why would he be offering me one? And, and, he thought I was a girl! That could definitely be a problem!

Happy St Andrew’s Day

Today, 30th November, is St Andrew’s Day and I would like to send my best wishes to all fellow Scots and those of Scots ancestry here on BC/TS.

How many of us will be tucking into haggis, neeps and tatties at our evening meal tonight? Not forgetting the dram of whisky poured over the haggis as “gravy”.

Slainte mhath,

Gabi.

I like to make photo edits of myself

Submitted by on

Hi,

I wanted to share a few photos with everyone. I rarely take pictures of myself while dressed. However, I love to take pictures of myself and edit them to make me look more feminine. It's great fun for me, and is a nice outlet.

As I tell others, you can still have a beard and be feminine and pretty. One need not be passable, or think of gender in terms of male and female.

Please, enjoy!

We Shall Be Free

Submitted by on

There is line from one of my favorite Garth Brooks songs called "We Shall Be Free" It says "When we're free to love anyone we choose. When this world's big enough for all different views. When we're all free to worship from our own kind of pew. We shall be free". This idea should have been in evidence here before some people let nasty comments ruin the free expression of opinion. Getting to the point of offense is very sad for everyone involved . We live in a country where we are free to express opinions.

Isolation, Censure, Casting Out, and Community

Submitted by on

I note with interest the new "Ignore User" button on all posts, blogs and comments.

Frankly, it makes me queasy.

It's not an intellectual reaction, exactly, but more of an emotional one on my part. It seems like some horrid level of overkill. I can't imagine that any adult here is so immature as to be unable to set aside a little irritation now and again and still be able to function without needing a mechanism to turn someone else invisible to them.

Ponderings

Submitted by on

Okay, the next section of Sorority Boy is done but I am wondering about the reaction to it. Sadly a lot of this is taken from a number of different sources, much of which in anecdotal. Since I a working on making this as true as possible, I am worried if readers will even believe what I have.

Sometimes these issues make release dates fall backwards.

What do you think of that ?

Submitted by on

Hi,

I am a native French speaker, and so I never know if my guesses about English are correct or not, I wanted your enlightened opinion. I want to know what you think about a special buddhist text I'm studying currently.

So, it is the Guru Yoga of the Longchen Nyngtik Ngá¶ndro. One of the preliminaries to Vajrayana. And those verses comes from the empowerment part of the practice.

From the letter OM in the Guru's forehead, radiant and shimmering like the moonlight,
Rays of light stream out and enter my forehead.

About me: (part 2)

Submitted by on

Among the things in my life that I considered normal were:
My mother gave birth to me when she was 15. At that time, my father was 22. They did marry, but divorced when I was eight months old.

Another year would go by before my sister was born as a result of a relationship without the benefit of marriage.

Little Pink Pills

Part Twenty-Three, by Michelle Wilder

Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes
I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
On man, join Tarzan in the forest
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through
And nothing to do but go on home

British PM, Gordon Brown, was furious at the proposed legislation Uganda wants to introduce. He was volubly supported by the Canadians at the Commonwealth Heads conference. See the story here in today's Guardian.
