for the ones who was station in Vietnam . Do you know if you have any problems with your health. I don't know yet but I think I might have cancer in my blood

So, as promised you get, as the Bahnfreund would have it, a double header today!

I seem to spend my life doing this lately, apologising that is. I had. Hoped to post you both new Gaby and a new Trixie today but stuff hasn't gone as I thought - no internet time for Maddy today. Both will now go up on Wednesday instead.

This change to plans is due to both UK Fathers day and a trip to visit Mum. Definitely a day of mixed emotions and I must admit some depressed thoughts now i'm home. I'm to say the least in a bit of a trough at the moment, a Churchillesque Black Dog.

Lately I've gotten a bit of contract labor that has me out-of-doors cleaning up around campgrounds and a local boat launch ramp... Where I live is heavy with poison oak and ivy... being out and about doing what I've been doing means I've been all up in the poison oak and ivy! So I'm feeling somewhat good about earning some immediate cash, but I'm also suffering somewhat due to being all up in the poison oak especially. I didn't see any poison ivy but suspect it is there too, so sort of a toss up for days as far as what I'm feeling....

Hello and once again I have failed.

Well not failed as such but things have, once more, not exactly run to plan!

Hi there everybody. My name is Jamie (also lovingly called "hey you!"), and I found my muse after 6 years or so without it thanks to my brain's misfiring. I'm being nitpicky about my first story here, so give me a week or so, and I'll have a decent chapter for you all.

Also, I am one of Erin's little birdies, so if you need something in the middle of the night, I tend to be awake :)

Does anybody what the name of the Gen1 Year 2 story featuring The Imp & Razorback in their first art class of the year as I can't seem to find it and I have been wanting to re-read it again for the past few months

Any help would greatly appreciated.

I only realised last night that my last news was somewhat innacurate. I did mention that i'm out doing a little ride up in't Dales tomorrow precluding a posting.

But I said there would be one on Wednesday but there won't. Back in January I booked up for a sort of history day trip to Calderdale, which is on Wednesday. So no Wednesday update but there is a possibility I might get online a different day.

In other news -

i'm one and a half chapters into the next Gaby book with an interesting and unexpected turn of events!

Yup, a flying visit indeed, not got much web time today - its complicated! partly its due to my new kitchen - its almost finished and partly due to setting up a new PC to get onto the interweb - its currently chortling to itself updating stuff.

I have just about managed to get you a new Gaby, which is Flying Visit, chapter 36 of book 16.

Another of my author shout outs. This one is specifically for Lilith Langtree.

I will say now that I'm an unabashed Lilith fan-girl. The very first story I'd read ("Either Do It Right, Or Don't Do It At All") left me impressed with her talent, and each subsequent work only added to that impression.

Lilith's writing is both brilliant and well executed. If you've not read any of her pieces yet I very highly recommend doing so.

Sadly, Lilith no longer publishes her writing on BCTS ( I don't know if this holds true elsewhere), though I believe she is doing well.

I was reading a rather different serially posted TG story on another site. The story is well written and the plot is subtle and slow in it's development. It was about an extremely conservative religious patriarchal rural family that found and took in an abused TG youth near death. Even though they thought the child was going against their religious beliefs, they decided to support the child and foster him/her. They really did go out of their way to accommodate the child's desire to transition.

Shouting out for two authors, here - Dorothy Colleen and Rebecca Jane.

Dorothy Colleen. She's got this vast collection of short stories that's simply awesome! Running the gambit of topics, Dorothy is frequently upending tropes on their heads and giving new takes on various genres. Well worth a look, but beware, you might lose yourself for days within her prose ^^

Those outside looking in who are scared to death to acknowledge anyone might wish to get rid of their water weasel will never accept transgender as a viable issue. Their whole world of who and what they are is connected to what is between their legs. For anyone to question that appendage is NOT what should be there is a personal mental problem no one seems to be addressing. Their own determination to control others lives as to what may or may not be the correct anatomy they were born with is failing us all.

(caution tag just because...)

Alright, so this is my 4th blog post in as many days. Out of character much? Maaaybe.

This account has been active a little over 7 years and all that time has seen 5 blogs by yours truly, including this one. No other writing credits and only the occasional comment to say I've ever existed here at BCTS. Why then am I suddenly chatty? Simply put, why not?

During my time reading on BCTS and other sites I've come across a number of stories deemed the "comedy of errors". Some of these have been brilliantly executed and amazingly engaging. There have been a few, however, that were akin to walking barefoot through glass.

Just a shout-out for some of my favorite authors, in no particular order.

Bailey Summers, cyclist, Bronwen Welsh, Dawn Natelle, Karen Lockhart, Bek D. Corbin, Drea DiMaggio/Andrea Lena, Zoe Taylor, Enemyoffun, Lilith Langtree, Rebekkah deMere, Ellen Hayes...

By no means a comprehensive list as there are many times many excellent authors around, these are just the ones that leap to mind.

Somebody has just entered a Patreon pledge at "UNOBTAINIUM level" for $500/month.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Just received an email from Kindle Direct Publishing, which deleted itself when I closed the email.

They have completed their review and the cancellation of my account and termination of my contract with KDP is now permanent. I will receive no royalties, and I am permanently banned from opening another account with them or publishing any more books with them. No further correspondence or discussion of this matter will occur.

I contacted Amazon and they said they'll look into it, but I am not hopeful.

Well I've now got more electrical sockets than I had and less kitchen, on a plus note I did manage to get the computer working at the second attempt (KB and mouse in wrong slots).

Just a short missive.

Well it's day one of the kitchen refit, the old stuff is all gone and tomorrow they come to do the stuff which has caused most issue - replacing all my electrical gear - that's a new fuse box and relocating it as well as all the sockets and fitting a bunch of new extras. Once that's done I can start to get stuff into some sort of permanent order again.

Well it was a bit hectic and I've been sweating on the line but I'm pleased to say that the concluding segment of Gaby - Avoidance is finished. It should be live via the usual suppliers this evening - links below.

So here we are, a week into May and summer is almost over! Well the temperature has certainly dropped and we had some wet yesterday so that must be it right?

Being educated means that you know WHERE to go for the information you need. Take away for your own use a few of the writing tips offered here. I've quoted Victoria Waddle before and she continues to have useful resources and tips.

Just a short missive from Yorkshire today. Well on one of the best May BH Sundays ever (sunshine, blue skies, no wind or clouds - unheard of for a UK BH!) i'm pleased to relate that I completed the 2000+m of climbing squeezed into 129 Pennine kilometres in a time of 5hrs 30mins. Not too shabby for an old git and I didn't resort to walking anywhere despite grades in the high teens and low twenties (1 in 4 ish if you are old skool on these things.)
