L8r Sk8r

Submitted by on

Okay. Sorry about the missed deadline. I needed sleep and then there was an issue that had me aternately screaming into a pillow and sobbing with all of my being for something like 11 hours straight. Then I started writing again and found that while I didn't have writer's block, I couldn't write it. The subject matter being way too close to my own past. It will be finished, and likely posted Friday

Soapy Serials?

Submitted by on

I may have started something.

BC and Stardust (and perhaps now Tor der Traume, in German) are the only open TG sites, I think, where this story could be told in this way. Since I did Urban Renewal, Adonna has begun Blue Moon at Stardust and now Angharad with Easy as Falling off a Bike here: serials told in daily, or almost daily, short episodes. Edeyn's two recent serials may qualify for this category, too. :)

What shall we call this new artform? :)

A Day at Work, "Dressed"

Submitted by on

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" It wasn't so much a question as it was a statement. I think, at that moment, Bobbie realized that this was more than just a job related thing for me. I was a bit unsure about how I should answer her so I just said, "Let's go do this and, after it's over, you and I can talk. Okay?"

Danger, baddie, magic ......

Submitted by on

Why don't I get magic? Of all of the stories I read those that depend on magic are the ones that don't press my buttons and that includes everything from BC stories to Harry Potter -I couldn't finish the first book.

The fact that magic is so popular means that I'm the odd one out (guess I already know I'm odd otherwise I woudn't be here.) But Why?

Since waking up from a nap on Friday evening around 9pm (Central US time), I've not slept much

1 hour Saturday afternoon

2 hours Sunday evening

3 hours Monday afternoon

So. I'm going to bed now (4am Tuesday morning) and sleeping until I wake up. Then I'll write Sk8r Grrls for this week. If it's not done in time... sorry. I'm unashamedly unabashed about missing this deadline. Not that I don't care about how awesome you've all been... I'm just too damn tired to give more than passing thought to it

Penn Station

by shalimar

I took the Long Island Rail Road into Woodside then took the number seven train into Grand Central Station where I met Baruchah for the first time. In real life she was a nineteen-year-old male student who needed to transition but has not tried yet. In her mind and mine, Baruchah Miriam is one of my five-year-old twins. I went to the information booth and found out what track the train would be coming on. I wore my “Panama” hat and a kiwi colored peasant skirt so she could easily recognize me.

Extremely exciting news for transwomen

Submitted by on

Perhaps many of you as I have, tried desparately for many years to find the why. We know about the MRI transgender wishful connection, the knowing when we are born, the always dreaming of being a woman and all that stuff that makes us wonder if the heart of our desires are born in a fantasy world.

Well, I was talking to my step sister and my brothers wife last night I had not seen my step sister in years. She is an extremely successful biologist and researcher in Canada.

I Just Don't Get It

Submitted by on

I write "The only Real Magic," a piece of fluff, and I get over 20 comments and it is quickly read by thousands. I write quality stories such as "Victor and the Witch," "Broken Glass," and "The Death and Life of Maxmillion Kagen" and get practically no reviews and low reading results. Am I missing something?

My intergrity insists that I write each story as quality.

Attention Fans of Ma'at

Submitted by on

I'm sure you all recall Hatshepsut from Ma'at. Recently, in what has been described as the most important find since the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb, archaeologists have identified the mummy of Hatshepsut, a woman more powerful than either Cleopatra or Nefertiti. Tomorrow, July 15th at 9PM Eastern the Discovery Channel will air 'Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen', which details the archaeological and forensic journey that led to her mummy being identified.

My Flashbacks are true.

Submitted by on

I was treated to a wonderful surprise this week end and I think it will change my life. As with some of us, there is that lingering guilt over transitioning and I had it a lot.

This week end, I saw my step sister who is 4 years older than I and the conversation brought up something that my half brother's wife remembered my step father telling her in bragging tones.

As we came into double figures in July, apart from my son-in-law's birthday on the 12th and my daughter's birthday on the 26th, I knew there was another significant date I should be aware of, but for the life of me I couldn't think what. It niggled at me but no answers came.

But all seems well now, except that during the frenzy of plugging and unplugging I can't find my phone charging cable. :(

Hope all ofmyou are well. :)

On the value of comments and voting

Submitted by on

Something happened over the last couple of weeks that really illustrated to me the value of comments and the new voting feature Erin set up. First, my story 'In the Line of Duty: No Greater Love', which was posted back in January, got a comment. No the story generally gets one or two hits a day, but thanks to this comment the hit count soared. A few days ago, the same thing happened for my very first story, 'Lost Luggage'. This time, the first comment led to another person reading and commenting, and again the hit count soared.

The Only Real Magic

by shalimar

It was another Saturday night where John and I were hanging out together as usual. We have been best friends since elementary school when I moved into this suburban community from the city in the second grade. I was shy then and had difficulty getting to know anyone in my new school. John who lived a few houses away from me decided to get to know me better and we've been friends since.

HELP!!

Submitted by on

I'm sorry to put this here but I've tried every other route through to no avail.

I can't send PM's.

I can't read PM's.

I can't write to author, in fact this is the only way I have to point out a problem. It may be at my end - but I wouldn't know what to do about it if it is.

Every time I try and read a PM (I have a new one), I get the mailbox empty message. If I try and reread a PM I get the same thing. If I try and send a message to author - I've tried from one of Erin's blogs, I get my sent list. If I try and read one of those I get the mailbox empty message.

What do I do?

FTS Ending on July 11th!

So, that IRC session I mentioned, for the Q&A? I'd like to schedule it for sometime tomorrow (July 11) evening :)

The IRC I've been frequenting apparently has a separate room for author chats, anyway, so that'll be good

irc.tgsa.net port 6667
and it's apparently the one that you get to through Storysite
Um... time and room is the only things not set -- and the room may be

A little story description from pages:
ShÅ«ichi Nitori is a 5th grade student who likes to bake and has always been something of a feminine boy. When he transfers to a new school, ShÅ«ichi is mistaken for his 6th grade sister on his first day. Then he ends up sitting next to Yoshino Takatsuki, a tall, boyish girl who everyone calls “Takatsuki-kun.” They both have secrets they can’t let anyone know…

It is very nice story and I think you should try it.
Enjoy

Non-TG stuff!

Submitted by on

Hello I was chatting tonight and a interesting idea come up. We have a wonderful group of talented authors here at BC and that got me to wondering what if any Non-TG materials they might have written. For that matter is there a convenient place where we can find these hidden treasures? I know some have their own homepages but what for those like me who are technically inept? Anyone?

Well maybe not a good idea, but just maybe...

All Natural Serial - No Trans Fat

Submitted by on

One of the joys of writing Blue Moon is finding uses for elements I introduced earlier just for color or bits of business. Do people writing novels do this, too, or is the tuxedo cat stealing cream in chapter four never to be seen again?

What if you needed a sudden noise in the middle of the night in chapter thirteen? Wouldn't it make sense for Mr. Underfoot to turn out to be the same cat? And then, near the climax when the villain needs to send a message, poor little kitty gets a curtain call?

Grisly example but does this happen in novel-writing?

Took a day off

Submitted by on

I've got a ton of stuff to do but I took the Fourth off to laze around at friends', eat, cook and talk. I came home last night and slept 10-1/2 hours, very unusual for me. Now I feel like crud, aches and pains all over, stuffed up sinuses and a sore throat. I'm going to take it easy today, do very little and hope I feel better tomorrow.

Hugs to all and especially those of you waiting for me to do something in particular,

I'm having trouble resolving the trans/gay issue.

Submitted by on

I have been living full time as a woman for about three years. I am heading for Thailand to finish by the end of the month.

To be truthful, since my Orchiectomy and beginning Hormones, I don't have a sexual attraction. When I return, I shall be fully female, but there is no physiological reason for my desires to change.

I have not recently sought male companionship, but I do have several female friends.

Silliness

Hi Everyone! I was scanning though my favorite web sites this morning and ran across a movie trailer for "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium" I was a little turned off by the title and idea that it was just another Holiday movie. However once I watched it I got SRU flashbacks not that anyone was transformed but just by the sets and madcap staff. Maybe the Wizard has a younger brother? here is a link to the trailer in case anyone is interested.

Oh Happy Day

Rick Reilly is by far my favorite columnist. His “Life of Reilly” appears on the last page of Sports Illustrated. For years I’ve read Sports Illustrated from back to front. Many times his column is all that I read, but I try never to miss it.

This week’s column is a shocker. He wrote about a friend of his, a past co-worker on the Los Angeles Times, Mike Penner, who is now Christine Daniels, who still is a sports writer for that paper.

He talks of how good-looking she has become because she now is smiling a great deal. He speaks in positive terms throughout the article.

The only thing I excelled at turned out to be thinking. I was able to read before I was two and could do college level trigonometry problems by the time I was seven. I was so far ahead of other kids my age that my parents got permission to home school me. I completed all of the requirements for graduation from High School by the time I was eight and got my first college degree; a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering, when I was ten. I was twelve years old when I started helping dad test and debug software for the company he owned.

Not a fan

Submitted by on

I'm not a fan of forced fem stories. If it's not voluntary, making someone do something that will put them in danger -- either at the time or later on -- is wrong and would be construed as child abuse in most of the cases in which they do this. I guess I see them as way too formulaic. There's also the fact that I was severely abused as a child... from about age 6 months to around age 15 when I finally stood up and stopped taking it
