God bless them! With any luck, this is the wedge that eventually breaks open the minds of the keepers of the rigid "Binary model" of gender.

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.

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.

Wendy's - watch how they charge you

Submitted by on

Author: 

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.

Stabbing on a bike.

Submitted by on

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

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.

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.

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.
