My Dad

Submitted by on

I talked with my dad this weekend. Probably for the last time. I just don't think that I can deal with him anymore. Everytime I call him, he hassles me wanting grandchildren. He does not care who I marry, or even if I get married, he just wants grandkids and he wants them soon. Several times after he gets done pestering me about that, he will try to make a joke while questioning my sexuality.

"...and mostly we ignored the movie, and Lisa whispered jokes about Zack, and I denied them, and she told me about two boys that she likes: a cute one and a nice one, and I said go for nice -- unless he's totally gross. (Right answer for a girl?)"

Beta Readers

Submitted by on

In a number of discussions I have seen people refer to beta readers. The concept introduces a few questions into my mind; specifically I was wondering at what point a beta reader usually reads a story, what is the result of a beta read, and how is it different than an editor.

Geoff's "Lola"

Submitted by on

Just finished Geoff's "Lola" series. This hilights nicely a blind spot of mine. I'd probably never have gone back to search for this story had it not been mentioned in one of the comments on something.

People, there is a lot of good stuff here if you are willing to root around in the wine cellar. Try it, you won't be disappointed. :)

I felt like I was floating in treacle. Sometimes the light would be there and sometimes it was dark. I wondered if the darkness finally had got me. Something in my brain kept telling me, ‘it wasn’t over,’ then I’d float some more.

A Most Powerful Piece Of Music

Submitted by on

I've recently re-discovered one of the most powerful pieces of music I've ever heard. It made me cry and smile at the same time, and is without doubt, one of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced.

Author's Note: I wasn't going to continue this story, thinking it had run its course and 365 episodes is enough for most people. However, I had emails and PMs (not PMS!)which convinced me otherwise. Also I couldn't spoil a special person's birthday, so here's the next one.

"You stupid oaf!" yelled Genevieve, " I would rather die than give myself to you!"
     
Lord Vorace was visibly shaken by the vehemence of Genevieve's reaction. However he quickly regained his composure.
     
"In that case, Lady Osborne, your fate is sealed," he said coldly.
     
"I think not, Lord Vorace, it seems that your nemesis has arrived,........"

Wendy's - watch how they charge you

Submitted by on

I don't know if this is appropriate for blogging here, but I'm going to anyway.

If you use Wendy's you really have to watch how they charge you for what you order.

For example, let's say you ask for a double, they will automatically enter a double with cheese, asking you if you want cheese. If you say No they will add No Cheese as an attribute, and you will be charged $4.29.

Petra looked at me; she had a sort of frown on her face.
‘Is something wrong?’

‘I don’t know. I couldn’t help hearing you talk to Miss Morris while I was waiting outside the form room; it wasn’t very clear, but I think she said you aren’t a girl, but a boy called Mark…what’s going on?’

One Year Ago - New Featurette

Submitted by on

While trying to create a random pick of old stories, I stumbled across this neat little capability in Drupal. For now this little list will go in the top of the left column on the main page and will show stories from about one year ago, plus or minus 24 hours. I may be able to expand this to include stories from two years ago, three years ago, etc. And maybe not. :)

Hugs,

Stabbing on a bike.

Submitted by on

I am led to believe that being stabbed feels like being kicked. A wound that causes blood to enter the mouth means penetration of gut or lung. Either can be serious to the point of being fatal, loss of consciousness means a large to massive bleed.

The narrative of this story is first person - unconscious/dying/dead people don't tend to say very much.

Letters from Sky - Prologue & Part 1

Submitted by on

PROLOGUE: Last spring these letters began showing up in my email. I thought the address had been typed wrong and sent a reply warning the writer, but it bounced back as undeliverable. I know that seems impossible, but the letters are here, and I think the web holds many weird gremlins.

Last night I decided that, perhaps, the universe brought them to me to show to others and, if you can get over your qualms about eavesdropping on strangers, some of you might find them interesting too.

Stephanie’s Deal

by Jennifer Brock

Steven Brooks was a boy who got in trouble for looking at his Christmas presents and as punishment he was made to dress and live as a girl until school started again. There was an accident and the reopening of school was delayed. More and more it seems like Stephanie will have a difficult time going back. Already she has a boyfriend and a role as a bridesmaid in her cousin’s wedding. Last time, she had her twelfth birthday which didn’t go so well. Her little friend Robin was until recently a boy named Bobby, and when she came over to share Stephanie’s birthday dinner, her father showed up uninvited and yelled and wanted Bobby back, but Stephanie’s father made him go away. In this episode, Stephanie will have a birthday party with her friends from her old Sunday School class in which they attend the movie “Enchanted.” Some slight spoilers of that film are given, but no critical plot points are revealed.

A question and a kind request

Submitted by on

One question that is puzzling me here is why do i need to choose a author name when posting a blog or a story here under my account name? Its a minor issue really but one that got irritating here. I forget that field the other night when posting and when I had to go back and choose one, my wireless Ethernet failed me and it took an hour to get it back running.

"In case you haven't noticed, for some reason hard to ascertain, I no longer have any clothes that fit me," I said indicating the oversize coverall, of my former male self, I was wearing.

They both looked at me for a few seconds.

"Mm, this is a bit tricky, " said Yuki, " you are a bit bigger than both of us especially in the boob department.............

Any thoughts I had of cycling to work were immediately forgotten. I knew the latest victim, that made it seem worse. When it's impersonal or anonymous, it's easier to deal with; when it's someone you know, it feels much more personal and much more real-much closer to home.

”You have beautiful hair, Erika. I’m sure you hear that all of the time though.” The nurse commented.

Samantha worked to control a grin.

“Only lately has anyone noticed.” Erika glared at Samantha.

I got home and locked the door before rushing up to my bed and throwing myself upon it. I cried for a while and then must have fallen asleep. I awoke to the phone ringing. It took me a moment to recognise where I was, and when I sat up my eyes felt red and sore and my mouth was thick and sticky.

"Hello?"
