And Sometimes I Think of Holly

Ok here's the first 3 chapters. It's not scifi, so it may very well not be your cup of tea. And if it isn't or it's just plain awful just say so. I won't take it personally.

I don't know how you're supposed to ask a stranger to commit at least a year of their life to helping you write a novel, for free. That's how I did it. I don't know if this is a good way to go about it, all I can say is this is how I asked Holly Hart, and for some reason she said yes.

Plagiarism

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-

Author's Commentary on Somewhere Else Entirely: Chapters 15 to 18

I'm now into the meat of the story (or so I innocently believed, anyway) and I am working my way through the preliminaries before the essential action takes place - the as yet completely undetermined journey to the north, which will resolve everything.

Well, it did and it didn't, but that is for another commentary. For now, Garia is still establishing her place in the palace structure.

.....And this week

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.

Words to encourage

All,
This is my first time blog here and first time in English other than comment so please forgive if I am incorrect word in places.
I do not have talent to write stories as do many here, so I am thankful for all who give of their spirit to share words to read.
ALL who wrote the stories I am thankful for who pour themselves into their work, who give enjoyment to others are special people who earn much good karma by giving joy and thought to the readers.

Child pages

So... I made a title page (MORFS: Chakats Give the Best Hugs,) and I wrote the first part of the story, but I can't figure out how to attach the first part of the story to the title page.

Help!

Updating and adding stories

I've been working diligently on my collection of MORFS stories. I've updated and reformatted the entire crop, and added a few. I'm going to repost the ones that I have updated, and start on posting the new ones.

If you see any errors, please let me know. A PM is fine for little things, and a public comment is fine for boners that will be educational to other authors (like if I use "its" instead of "it's.")

Author: 

Recently I have been catching up on some Whateley Tales I have missed reading, and I keep reading references to Combat Finals and as a result I noticed that I may have missed a story somewhere as more than one refers to the damage Elaine Ethel "Doc" Nalley (Loophole) causes in hers.

Is this actually covered in a story or just an internal Whateley 'This Happened'?

Better late than never

A belated Christmas gift to you all, I have just posted the first chapter of "Playing her way 2".

I haven't been doing much writing lately. I've had an idea for a story about a prank involving a secret Santa gift for quite a while, and I thought I would write it up in time for Christmas. Ideally posting the chapters on the days corresponding to the events.

As the year draws to a close the temperature here is plummeting! What at first glance looked like a good layer of snow this morning was actually a heavy frost that has persisted all day - even in the city centre!

Things are a bit behind this week but the latest chapter of Gaby 14 can be found here today.

Looking forward to 2017 - I think!

Visions ???

I've been stuck on a huge story for nearly a year, and had something happen early this morning. It is not clear to me if this was a spiritual vision or simply the product of my own demented mind. My view of the current and developing world promotes lots of anxiety.

Some nefarious agency flubs paperwork and declares unstable.

old friend breaks protagonist out, then helps clear up p/w snafu.

people kidnapped, may be 13/18 y/olds, not sure

Whatever happened to Ginger Collins

I have recently discovered Ginger Collins, whose output seems to have been restricted to one year, December 2008 to December 2009. I found all the stories very readable, and far and away the best kept to last, almost exactly seven years ago when "Whatever Happened To Andy Crewson?" was posted on the last day of that year.

It is my belief that re-posting would help other newer readers like me to share in the delight of good stories well told.

In only three days it will be time to wish you all a happy new 2017

So best wishes to one and all

book I read

in the mid to late 70's (highshool) I read a book where a man was mentally tortured by his youth where during ww2 he spent it as a boy in a jewish boy whore house. There was no sex described in the book. There was a scene where a ss officer had a boy dress as hitler and play with trains and toy soldiers. I could not of imagined a story of this nature but it escapes me the title sorry for this non site related blog but I can't get this book out of my head. So anybody else remember this

More to keep you going!

Well that's the first big day done and dusted, at Bell Acres pretty much all I did was cook, eat and sleep - well I did end up going through some old photos, well four years old, and reliving one of my German trips. Not the best Christmas ever but certainly better than the depressing episodes I've had in recent years and the darn right miserable one last year when I was cold and couldn't cook properly due to a broken cooker blowing the electrics!

More updates from the land of Heather

Hey all... just a few updates.

One, my trip to Standing Rock was amazing. I ended up in the National Leadership of Veterans Stand for Standing Rock. We ended up having 4.5k veterans show up in North Dakota to protect the Water Protectors. It was very cool. I was also very happy to spot a large number of Trans veterans among the group. The whole thing made me feel so proud.

A Series On the Way!

Good news! I am going to be writing a series of stories, a little under twenty chapters, from what I can tell right now. The story, titled "Kayleigh's Story," is one I am very excited about. It will deal with themes of love, revenge, new starts, friendship, and modern life. I will ideally be releasing a new chapter every Sunday at 10 PM, starting January 8th. In the meantime, check out some of my new stories, including Christmas-themed "All Was Well" and "The Good Bridesmaids," my personal favorite of the tales I've written so far.

Love as always,

Things Are the Same but Much Better (EDITED)

I managed to remove the “PDF Complete” banners from the PDF file that contains this story, and am posting it here as an attachment. I hope nobody minds, as I did not have a way to send this file to the author.

EDIT: To those who find their way here from the blogs page, or from the recent blogs list on the front page: Warm Hearted’s first story was posted as a PDF attachment, which was made by an unregistered PDF maker that added “nag” banners to the PDF it made. I was able to remove the banners, and attached the resulting PDF file to a blog entry, which I posted to Warm Hearted’s author’s page.

Easter Eggs

Easter eggs are little bits of (alleged) humor snuck into a computer program. For example, in one early Microsoft product, going through a specific series of keystrokes produced a small on-screen caricature of Bill Gates who then used a squeegee to clear everything currently on the screen.

Five years ago today Dorothy posted a story...

I didn't like where the story went, so I rewrote it for her. She reminded me of it a while back, and I thought I would post a link to it on the anniversary of her posting it. You can decide which came closer to today.

Stories That Are Prophetic

I have two stories (books ?) that I have been working on for years, one of them I started in the early 80's on an Electric Typewriter. Lately, I have begun to see parts of both of them begin to come true in real life, and that frightens me because I think that my health will not hold out long enough to finish either. Sadly, the only people I would trust to finish them are not likely to outlive me by much if at all.

After 'crunching the issue' I noticed a strip 'a keys - the #9 key, the "o", "l" and period key were suddenly dead!

I thought of trying to write avoiding the consonant, vowel, digit and punctuation, but the challenge proved too daunting

Interesting Harry Potter fanfic

30 Chapters long over on fanfiction.net is 'A life changing journey' posted there by deathy-cool
Harry gets kidnapped to a different school, yet appears as a female when arriving at the school. This school is in a different dimension with accelerated time flow. 1 year with no Harry at Hogwarts is long enough at the school that Harry is adult. This one takes place during the Prisoner of Azkeban year. Definitely an interesting read.

I blame YOU Frank O'Connor!

Whenever I get stalled on one story ...or my A.D.D. muse gets distracted... I'm more inclined to 'change channels' than to just 'turn off the set' and walk away....

Why is it easier to start things than to see older existing things through?

I fully intend to finish the two tales I've already stretched out so far.... Secondhand Life and Summer of Love both have conclusions I still love and am just meandering my way to... even if the here-to-there is still a bit fuzzy.

Back home from our travels

Hi everyone

Got back home last e'en from an exhausting trip around the NRW (Nord Rhein Westfalia) region of Germany. Gab's dragged me from Muenster in the north to Aachen in the west and south as far as Bonn to enjoy the pleasures of the Weihnachtsmarkts. It was a gruelling week, 28 market sites in 11 different towns and cities which added 27 beverage containers to my burgeoning Gluehwein mug collection! Hopefully next week, when we've recovered a bit, i'll post an A to er S of the trip complete with pictures.

She's focusing on erotic fiction.

I tend to prefer longer romantic stories, but I sometimes enjoy erotic stories, ... and I think we need more erotic fiction by trans people, for trans people, so we can reclaim our bodies and our sexualities.

Masculine/feminine balance

I believe gender shouldn't be an either or choice. In my just completed story "Old friend,New love" I tried to present two people trying to find a new balance in their gender expression. In the process they find someone that loves both sides.

Not many percieved it that way. But I would like some feedback. How would describe the characters Kevin/Kate and Chris/Chrissie on a masculine/feminine scale. For example Kevin/Kate 10%M/80%F (yes it doesn't need to add up to 100% if you feel some uncertanty).
