The Gendered Experience in Writing

I haven't seen a lot of discussion on here about this topic, so I thought I'd pose the question now: for you authors who write gender change or transgender fiction, how do you incorporate the gendered experience into your stories?

Gaby

So I managed to get two complete chapters down yesterday and started on a third. I'm a little behind where I really want to be but i'm still aiming for a Sunday book release to sort of coincide with Gaby's birthday on Monday.

Another bright day here but it often snows around Gab's birthday so it can't last!

A new chapter of Summery will be up tomorrow.

Has anyone seen or heard from the lady Snowfall. I am hooked on the puppeteer series and have not seen a new chapter in a bit. Just making sure I did not miss a chapter and that she is ok.

MUSIC - Jolin Tsai

Blog About: 

Author: 

Jolin Tsai has always been pretty outspoken in her support for LGBTQ people (from a non-western / taiwanese standpoint / view) in her music. Although most of her songs (according to what I have heard /s een of them) are gay or lesbian themed, her last one is T related.

Tech questions

I'm having trouble accessing some websites. For example, I'm able to access this site but the Whately Academy site is timing out. Also SOL (stories on line) storiesonline.net is timing out. There are some other sites, like gamesgames and agame that are timing out. So, can anyone give me a clue as to why some sites are timing out and others (like this one) are not?

Which Readers do You Leave Out

Author: 

The lady has moved from True Romance and into Action. Not everyone is going to be pleased. However if she doesn't put the action into her action story she is going to lose those who would read and or purchase her story. Those who follow her romance stories may or may not like the inclusion of the reality of life, violence, murder, suffering in her story.

"IF" one wishes to appeal to the broadest readership then they must write to include the whole story not truncate parts which don't appeal to a few select readers.

I’m doing fine

Blog About: 

Author: 

It was pointed out to me, and rightfully so, that my previous blog post was both a while ago and a bit worrying. I was hesitant to write because compared to others my life is going great.

I have actually transitioned and am perfectly happy being myself. The children (14 & 17] accept me and love me. I have divorced, which in this case is a good thing as the negative influence of my ex partner is mostly gone and more easily mitigated.

Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself

My doctor has no idea how to take me. Last visit I told the ladies in reception I was coming back as a pirate since I was on crutches. They thought it would be funny and I should do it. Never give encouragement to an idiot. We don't think it through.

Looking for a story...

Author: 

... that I am not totally sure if I read it here or maybe somewhere else.

The gist of the story is thus...

A police officer, not a big guy, kind of fem and small, goes on a stakeout dressed in female clothes as bait for a criminal.

In the evening they, he and his much more buch female partner end up in a fire fight and he gets shot and his groin area is basically destroyed. He then does not have much of a choice and they do an imprompto GRS on him.

ReubyLouise's Intro

Blog About: 

Author: 

I will try to make this brief. I am a 64yo (65 in July) mtf pre-op ts since 1990.

From an early age I remember being fascinated with my mother's clothing. But I had other things that may have influenced that.

For one, my mother was given DES to prevent miscarriages. So there is a chance my chromosomes were messed with.

Mom and Dad argued all the time, usually about his drinking and driving and me. Their divorce was final before my brother was born, four months before my fifth birthday. I was jealous.

Strange world

Author: 

I've been in a lot of accidents, bounced around by machinery, always walked away. Sometimes serious scaring but no real damage. On an earlier blog we talked about swimming and I always sank like a rock, never could float. If I wanted on top the water, I stayed in motion. At my height I have never manged to get below 135 once I matured even when I had a twenty one inch waist.

Reminder!!!! - 2019-01 Reader Retention Story Contest

Earlier today I read the latest part of "Flip" titled

Flip - Chapter 11 - Keen and a conclusion

Maeryn's entry to the 2019 January Reader Retention Story Contest.

When I went to hit the 'Thumbs Up\KUDO' button, I thought I'd check out if I had missed the KUDO on any of the parts of the story, and I DID.

So I reviewed all of the other stories I had read in the Contest and I found that I had indeed missed more than 15 over all of the parts of all of the stories I had read in the contest.

It is truly disgusting......

Blog About: 

Author: 

First, let me state that I am more than slightly disappointed by the response to my previous blog. I posted here in the hopes of possibly finding someone who might be interested in sharing a home - someone who could perhaps benefit from my situation by the fact that I truly don’t need them to contribute financially and they would be able to share a nice home without it becoming a major financial burden. My take away from this would be that it would help to prevent me from falling into the trap of enforced solitude that I have known before. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's been a real rollercoaster since my last post. Still not officialy divorced because my soon to be ex can't afford the filing costs (but buys a new car).

One of the other things bugging me is this.. I am paying 500 euro/month rent at the moment. Enough to pay a mortgage of 80.000 euro on a' fixed % 30 year'- plan. But I can't get 30.000 to buy a small house whatever I try. Or at least nobody willing to give me a mortgage on it.

It’s been a while since I posted here, probably because my life has been fairly stable and reasonably happy for some time. But like all good things, it didn’t last. I know I should have expected it, but I guess I became too comfortable. I became complacent in my comfortable existence and allowed myself to be taken by surprise.

Well, shortly after going to bed tonight, my lovely wife dropped the boom on me.

'Cause I Had To Tell Somebody

Blog About: 

Author: 

I just felt like I had to tell this rather than just put it behind me. This last week we buried my next to oldest brother in Arlington National Cemetery. Weather put a monkey wrench in things, no horse-drawn caisson or honor guard marching along side. He did receive a 21 gun salute and there was an honor guard graveside. It was kind of eerie, the blanket of snow covering everything. The cemetery was closed to normal traffic and the snow muted what sound there was. It was a very solemn ceremony.

Amazon links gone?

If I need something from Amazon, I usually take my browser there via one of the links on BC, to pop a coin or two this way. The various direct links on the BC home page have disappeared, did I miss something while I was away?

On behalf of Erin

Author: 

Hi there everybody!

My name is Jamie, and I am BigCloset's personal assistant. Well, Erin mostly, but I help out when I can.

Erin is not feeling very well today, and we have had some bills pop up that had to be paid right then and there. Everybody here in the inner workings of this wonderful site gets thrown a little off when this happens, and Erin does whatever she can to move money around so that we are taken care of.

The Truth is

Blog About: 

Author: 

I wish I was dead! I just read Shalim IV by Casey Brooke. I loved the story though I did have a problem with it. The Earth gets new planetary members by intelligence work first. By swapping bodies with a member of that society to learn the easiest method of getting them to join. If that doesn't work then it's a force of arms.
The issue I have is more the body swapping in other stories where someone switches bodies with someone to take over their life, I have issue with. Oh, in Shalim IV story, I was not rooting for Earth. Though I love the main character.

More Lies Bundled in Half Truths

Author: 

They have such a weak hold on their own sex, someone else changes and they become fanatical. Most of us have read the lies and disinformation spewed forth as research, medical and scientific studies. Which is basically no research and a repeat of flawed data gleaned from newspapers or other sources. All from those who have never researched or met anyone transgendered but are a self proclaimed authority on all things mental and physical pertaining to those who are trans.

Dresses, Doctors, Extra Lbs.

Author: 

Anyone been to the doc lately? It was only a checkup, how complicated can that be? I knew I had gained a few pounds. I mean 135 to 140 is my fighting weight. Already tried that dress a few days ago that looked so damn hot. Okay, maybe a few years..., more than a few. Hey, it's a woman's right to lie about her age and her weight. A 151 lbs means I'm carrying 11 more than my top. Figure the percentages and it gets scary. That's 12 percent of my "normal" weight. Now we are getting there on what those extra pounds really mean.

Bob Arnold Zapped missing chapters (Found thanks)

I've just read and fallen in love with Bob Arnold's Zapped. Unfortunately the last few chapters seem to be missing.

There is a comment that the remaining chapters are on his stardust site, however the site is under construction. Is the site expected to come back up, or does anyone know where I can find the final chapters?

Any help is appreciated.

The Temporary Dormancy of Hell (for me, anyway),

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Hell is over with another year, finally. In the last six weeks was the birthday of my late partner. This was followed a few weeks later by the anniversary of her death. This year it was compounded by the lack of antidepressents due to the lack of money to pay for them. I've really not been a nice person to be around.

Happy Fuckin' Thanksgiving and Merry Fuckin' Christmas.

Review: "Homesick" by Trismegistus Shandy

I just finished reading "Homesick" by Trismegistus Shandy. I'm surprised at the few reads this story attracted. While it's a bit different from other stories here, it's a well written tale in a "Twilight Zone" kind of way. I almost expected Rod Serling type epilogue.

All three parts are posted, so if you like to wait for stories to be complete, this one is. If you haven't read it, I'd highly recommend it.

Review: ‘The Legend of Georgia McBride,’ From Elvis Impersonator to Drag Queen

A play about a subject we all are interested in. In various theaters Google to find it near you. "From Elvis Impersonator to Drag Queen" is an interesting concept.

Today's LA Times ran a review and I thought my friends on BC would find this of interest. Has anyone seen this play themselves? If yes, post YOUR review here.

more from Yorkshire

Well, it's been a mild-ish day hereabouts, I had a short walk earlier around the nearest town to me (I live 10km from Sheffield Centre but less than 2 from Dronfield and 9 from Chesterfield even if my address is Sheffield!)

Then I set to at the KB and after a full ten hours, i've completed the final part of 1902 Sunbeam Safety! I'm pretty happy with it, it would have been so easy to have spun it out but that was never my intention with this. I'll get it edited and so on and you should be able to read it over the holiday.
