After reading the story A Love Like No Other by Little Katie, I started reading the stories she linked to. Two of those stories, A Different Kind of Life and How Life Can Change, are very similar as to the circumstances that befall the main protagonist (in both cases a 9 year old boy). But the behaviour of the respective parents are exactly oposites of each other.

I have a request - just drop a note here as a comment, rather than a PM.

I've written a _very_ short story - 392 words - for the Horror contest.

You see, I decided to look at the audience, and try to build upon true horror, rather than using traditional elements. Unfortunately, the story might be a bit 'over the top' for a lot of the people here. (it's also written more in the older Ray Bradbury/Golden Age SF style, although it's not SF)

Controversial Therapy for Pre-Teen Transgender Patient Raises Questions

Well, I just ran some numbers. The Gospel of The Bike, according to word, (if you trust it), totals out to....5,850 pages............2,059,091 words, anf the folder that holds the assembled books weighs in at......22.3 meg. Sounds awesome to me.

Hi,

I'm writing another story and I'm thinking about a f2m punishment transformation. The reverse has been done way too often, and I want to give my characters something to think and maybe to regret.
Many evil guys tend to be transformed into whores, but what are the worst imaginable jobs for males? With what a life would you punish an evil female after she has been transformed into a guy?

I'd be greatful for any suggestions,

Today's Wall Street Journal had an article with the headline "Ye Olde Menu: Dormouse, Anyone?" in the Personal Journal section. The article was about a "trend-in-the-making" of finding recipes from old to ancient sources to spice up menus. The article does state "One recipe he won't bother to explore: Stuffed Dormouse."

A subscription is required to read the article online.

I do check regularly, and yesterday night and this morning noticed that the Storysite that Crystal seems to have abandonned has developed new malfunctions - you can get the home page byt if you click on Stories, nothing happens, it just goes blank. Same for Poetry Corner. So unless she notices and repairs it, I guess that is it. A sad loss, which many of us regret.

This is just a quick note to let those who keep track know that I'm still present.

Today is my 63rd year on this earth .Who would have thought I would make it this far. Now onto the next 63 years

Just on ABC: Steve Jobs has passed away at 56.

1am (GMT) October 4th 2010. That's when I arrived here. You girls and guys and your stories (and your administrating, you know who you are) are so awesome, I decided to stay. ^_^ I have commented and blogged, but no stories of my own. Yet. I have started writing one, though I will not give a release date. After all, the future is clouded, uncertain, and possibly contains highly distracting shiny objects! = )

Hi everyone,
I've just finished my halloween story and I'd be greatful if someone could edit it.

As you may or may not know, english is not my mother tongue and suggestions on how to improve the grammar and the text in general would be greatly appreciated ;)

For all of you out there who suffer from this I found this Yahoo Article interesting especially the last paragraph.

Not sure if helps or not but would be nice if it does.

Last May, Jamey Rodemeyer added his video to the "It Gets Better Project", the Internet video site where adults share hope with LGBT teens, a minority likely to be bullied by even the adults in their lives and suffer a disproportionately high suicide rate. On Monday, the 14-year-old teen from Buffalo, N.Y., was found dead outside his home, having apparently taken his own life.

Interesting article:

An Ode to Virtues

Not mtuch changed since my last blog. Passed the written part of drivers ed, made my mom, sisters, niece and the respectieve SO's eat sushi during my B)day dinner and, ..., I'm still officially on sickleave which is getting to be a real drag (understatement).

Looking for a car to buy for the hands on part of drivers ed (it seems to people outside Belgium that we have a weird drivers ed system or so I'm told). And that is making me count every cent. Especially with winter around the corner and the need for 'mazout' and gas.

PS starting to wonder who's been or lived in Belgium here
