There's a fascinating article on the BBC website about Susan Travers - the only woman to have served in the French Foreign Legion.

She certainly lead an amazing life. Her greatest regret, she said, was not to have been born a boy, although she admitted that as such she would never have done half the things she'd done or enjoyed the life she led subsequently.

My apologies in advance for posting this here, but it was too good to pass up. I usually only send to a select few but.....

I first read No Obligation about 13 months ago or so. I just re-read it again these last couple of nights. This story sucks the reader in and grabs hold of you and doesn't let you go until you are done with it. It's the multifaceted fantasy of an epic character who starts out male and ends up as a young female Wyatt Earp for the universe.

Wonderfully written, no weak parts to it, and shows the power of love and compassion.

Here is a link to an article on Feminized Fish. The male fish are now producing eggs and showing secondary female sex chacteristics. They say this is from birth control bills and hormone treatments being dumped in the water.

Jaycee’s grandmother (Joan Curry) worked for Viewtech for almost 25 years. Many of us vividly recall Joan’s relentless efforts to recover Jaycee. Many, both here and at Volt Information Sciences (our former parent company), helped Joan produce and distribute flyers and posters following the kidnapping and for many years thereafter.

Yesterday, I clicked on one of the Jewel Box links on the TopShelf home page. It was Jewel Box Two: a page listing "stories that appeared on Big Closet approximately two years ago today."

Scrolling down towards the bottom, what do we see?

Next to one another are the first two episodes of EAFOAB, with part 1 dated July 17, 2007. Funnily enough, the events of the past week have seen the destruction of one Cathy's very expensive carbon-fibre bikes, as happened in the original episode.
