So! In my last chapter of A World Without Me (chapter 2), I left some of the end off, as I thought I could incorporate it into the start of the next chapter, but I ended up going back to what was once a small paragraph and turning it into a huge 2,000 word section that doesn't fit at all with the start of the next chapter and it's really annoying me >.<

Okay, I've submitted a few stories, but I have some questions that remain unanswered:

First, I work over my stories quite a few times, but after I cannot be sure that they don't have errors. So, how do I find an editor?

Second, I submitted a multipart story to Fictionmania. I was thinking about re-submitting it here. I have noted that some stories appear both on Big Closet and on Fictionmania. Is there any protocol about submitting a story on both sites? Is it considered "bad form?"

is the new chapter of Gaby today - the clue is in the title!

Writing is continuing on Book 18 - 35 chapters down, 5 to go - with a bit of luck you'll see it completed next weekend.

So if we haven't been annihilated before, i'll upload another chapter on Wednesday

According to Erin’s numbers about 8,000 unique visitors a day read at least one story on BC.

I’m going to assume that many, many BC users are frequent users and will guess that about 25,000 people read five to ten stories a month.

Those 25,000 readers are enjoying an immense service. About 1-3% of those are authors who also have the satisfaction of a great place to post their fiction.

Hi All,

I'm sorry about the late and short posting of Amadeus 14. RL has been a beast and will be for a while. I will keep posting as I can, but it may be more sporadic in frequency and length.

HUGS!

Hi all,

There used to be hardware and software, then came along firmware and the rest.

My favourite in those days (yes, back in the last Millenium !!!) was what was called 'Vapourware' - defined as something promised but never actually delivered.

Which is where I hang my head in shame and talk about the next Julina episode.

I see from my notes that the first words for this episode were actually written back in 2015.

(As a further illustration, I have already penned stuff for episode #80.)

is the latest chapter of book fourteen!

So of course Gaby has to get into a pickle - an unexpected one this time!

enjoy

As some may have guessed, Higher and Higher 8 is the last of my backlog. I will now be dividing my time between Higher and Higher, Chakats Give the Best Hugs, Out Of Retirement, and whatever other stories I decide to dip into. I expect to be putting out a part a week, or so.

So for those of you who have read any my fiction on here, you'd know that I have a very unique writing style. Lately I've been working on my story Time to Fly. I've been able to get a bit done each writing session I do but looking back on what I'm writing I've come to realize that I'm not writing the dialouge between characters to suit the ages of the respective characters. Now if all the characters were Adults I wouldn't be making this post. In fact the story revolves around a group of 5 year olds that take the main character under their wing and help them adjust.

OK, I've been too lazy for too long. I'm bored to tears, and want to touch base with my friends, fans, and dear, devoted readers. here's a glimpse into what I've been working on:

First, Smoky Corners. I plan to, EVENTUALLY, finish "Third Time's A Charm". Unfortunately, though, my muse for all things SC has fled to parts unknown, and I'm having significant trouble finding her again. when I do, I will post updates.

Second, I'm working on THREE new stories. One involves a new concept and possibly a new universe. The other two will be SOLO stories.

I thought I would throw out a challenge to the authors here:

We have a lot of stories about little kids transitioning, some teenagers, and a few who are college age.

But we don't really have a lot of stories about older transitioners

Anybody wanna take a stab at writing a story about someone transitioning at 40, 50, or beyond?

On the dreaded facebook, I have just stirred up a shitstorm.

I think I will coin a new word - Megativity. That means mega amounts of negativity.

Here is what happened:

Someone (a well-known singer) posted a reference to a controlled woman who went out and 'enjoyed' herself when the controlling husband died.

I am looking for a serial story. It revolves around a teenage male whom is the assistant director in a small community theater. As AD he knew all the parts of the show. when the leading lady gets sick he is asked to cross dress and fill in on opening night. This involves wearing her costumes and breast forms. the forms and adhesive were purchased and after much complaining they were glued to his chest. The show was a success, and afterwards when the breast forms are going to be removed the costumer discovered they had been sent permanent adhesive instead of temporary.

just some updates and answers to questions.

and its Gaby time!

fresh from a breezy (there's a 40-50kph north westerly blowing) Yorkshire there's new Gaby, Sobering Thoughts finds the Apollinaris party in Hiroshima.

That's today, on Sunday you can expect part three of the latest book to be available through the usual channels - more excitement and angst than you can shake a stick at!

That's it for now

I know I've never been the most cherished author here, but this has always been the place I felt most comfortable sharing my creativity. I love writing, and I love stories, both reading them and sharing them, and for much of the last 10 years BC has been THE place I did so.

and my writing has been a bit lax!

But anyhow Bath Time, chapter 10 of The Girl is up for you to read now.

Ciao for now

It reads just like an autobiography. Is it fiction, or was it Real Life™? All I know is, it is my story—the one I would write for myself, if only I could. Since I never had even the ghost of a prayer of creating such a life for real, it has to remain my wish fulfillment story. More than any other story I have ever heard or seen, so far, that is what it is. My wish-fulfillment story. All I can do is read it…and weep…

I've mentioned to a few that I've been kind sick the past few days. it affected my writing. Late Nite Princess will be delayed one week. Sorry folks.

Hi folks

There is a book on Amazon by one of our authors,Nom de plume's. I think someone has stolen 'Double take'. Nom de plume has used Thomas Farrell as a pen name which is why I think this is a rip off-

This is the link httphttp://buy.geni.us/Proxy.ashx?TSID=21389&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%...

we get more of the girls adventures in Nippon.

In Shindo we get a lot more racing and a hatch is plotted for later in the week.

Like all royalty, I'm feeling a bit under the weather this week, a trip to Nottingham intended to lift spirits didn't do much other than get me out of the house and writing is stalled as I can't concentrate for more than a couple of minutes. Oh well, it'll all come out in the wash.

is it just me? Or are all the readers on vacation?

Where did everyone go?--echo echo!

Hope you're all having fun!

Yes, its true, we are in 2017 now and that annoying Bell woman is posting again!

For your delectation and delight, today I've posted Damp Squib, the latest part of Gaby's Japanese adventure.

My only prediction for the year is, drum roll please, stuff will happen!

I do have a to do list however

Happy New Year to you all!

It's shaping up to be a perilous one, so we all must support each other, be compassionate and kind, but not let evil and madness go unchecked.

And sit with cats on our laps more often ...
