Hi,
I've been trying to contact four of the authors from my website, Sapphire's Place, and any help you all can give would be great!
While I have their stories, and at one time, had working email addresses for them, I've has a HD crash ( or two ) since then, and I don't have a CURRENT working way to get in touch with them.
I can understand not sharing their contact info, if you have it, but if that is an issue, please, PLEASE have them contact me!

Has anyone heared frim Shiraz lately? I was wondering if she was OK. Am having heavy Tammy and Heather Withdrawal simptoms!

I am so happy to be able to make another announcement so soon after my last one!

Late last night, I received the latest chapter from Forsythe of his story " Away for the Summer", his hit new Age Regression story!

You can find a link to it from our NEW page at:

and while you there check out the other great authors from out " Features Authors Page at:

A few months ago it was announced that Harper Lee had decided to publish anther book.

I was so excited I signed up with Amazon for first day delivery, because To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my all time favorites.

Before I had a chance to read the book I started to hear negatives remarks, but I was in no way prepared for the amateurish writing in Go Set a Watchman.

Either –

1.) Harper Lee was blessed with one hell of a good editor for Mockingbird, or,
2.) She didn’t write Watchman.

For anyone interested in how life and art can converge, I have put some photos up on my author Facebook page (SAA Calvert) of the wonderful Kathryn Tickell performing at the weekend. Tall and lean? Tick. Fiddle? Tick. Long hair now red swinging about as she plays? Oh, very much 'tick'!

The plan:

Sit down with my laptop, taking into account the sunlit balcony and flagons of tea, then prepare #48 for posting, #49 for final editing, #50 for filling out the story outlines into the first draft

The actuality:

Get dragged off to IKEA, buy furniture for the balcony a little less sizable than the bulky 12 year-old table we have been using, spend hours opening cardboard boxes and then screwing, banging and erecting.

So!

Was I:

- IKEAd?
- Flat-packed?
- Swedish ambushed?

Or is there a better verb for this?

I am so happy and very proud to announce that Forsythe has joined that other greats on Sapphire's Place!

Forsythe has become known for his great Age Regression stories, and we look forward to his new chapters of his exciting story " Away for the Summer ", with many more on the way!

You can read his work at his Featured Author page over on Sapphire's Place, and we hope that this is the start of lots of newer authors joining the greats already there!

Enjoy!

I seem to have put my self -- or my characters -- in a dilemma in a couple of the stories posted here.

A lead character is transformed into a female by a woman with vast magical powers. She has rather slutty sex. Then she's told by the woman who transformed her that she can try to act in a less slutty manner, but that such behavior has become part of her nature, and that she can never become a male again.

For a Chill Friday afternoons reading.

I have written about crossdressers so far because although I empathize with transgendered individuals and their experiences, I am not transgendered and I feel that any attempt to write from that perspective runs the risk of being patronizing and false. I'm certainly willing and able to write from a perspective other than my own but for some reason I see certain points of view as being difficult or impossible to approach.

My apologies for leaving you all on a cliffhanger last week. It seems that shortly after blogging about mood disorders, my brain decided to be a witty MF and dragged me down into a week of the deep dark. I posted two chapters today by way of an apology, and to assure you all that i am regaining my footing, so to speak.

I wrote this story about 5 years ago and it was my first attempt but then I wrote Atalanta's origin story which took well over a year to finish. Some things in this story had to be changed to fit what happened in that story. I wrote two versions one with Team Kimba and one with new characters and is the reason there are no dates listed; it is inferred.

Grimm City Girl asked for a list of the stories in the Cynthia Chronicles series. Here it is if anyone else is interested. The series starts with An Incremental Journey. I have changed that to Cynthia and the Incremental Journey but haven't changed the title here. Here's the full list in approximate chronological order. This is not necessarily in the order written.

Volume 1 of the Cynthia Chronicles

It's a good video.

"The teacher would write Too melodramatic. Write what you know. and I'd think What does he mean? It's either good or it's not!"

This is odd but here is a one time offer. I came up with this idea after seeing a very old movie, I have too many concepts waiting right now to pursue it. this could be great for the back-to-school contest or just on your own. the concept will require knowledge of street racing. This offer is first-come, first-served. I will not use this concept if someone wants it. send me a message and I'll give you the rundown I have.

Decided to check some Old stories on the Storysite and found that it is down with both mirrors. Does anyone have any idea if it will return?

There have been a few blogs lately about the shortage of new stories.

It happens.

Luckily there is more fiction on this site than anyone could ever possibly read. Unless they're super-human and there’s plenty of fiction about that!

The following is a list of authors that I would recommend.

well there we go, first chapter posted, after I managed to humiliate myself by posting the summary as the body. So yay me, making an idiot of myself. Anyways Monica Rose was a massive help in all of this and I can see myself relying on her quite heavily throughout all of this.

Hi all,

here is a little heads-up on developments.

The next (and final) part of the (my) Chivan tales will be posted in the next few days. Naturally, it stops at the start of the post-Chivan era, so if any of you want to pen some tales to fill in the two great missing swathes of time, then there will be plenty of scope - the time after the Chivans when the Empire came into being, the hangover of which gave rise to the different countries in Garia's time, and the different ruler's titles! Of course, there are also opportunities for many more tales set in Chivan times.

A hot chapter for a scorching hot day,
Cheers,

I am looking for a story I read a couple of years ago. I'm not sure whether it was here or on FM. The story was about an alien invasion. Men (and women?) were taken aboard the alien ship and converted mentally and physically by a plant in a chamber making them very compliant, however, not all were made incapable of mentally resisting. A revolt is eventually made on the mothership. That's about all I can remember. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Due to circumstances beyond my control (namely kids off for the summer), I haven't been able to do much writing lately. So hopefully by the end of August, I'll start having some time to write with one back in school and the other out of town at college. I have several projects languishing, and some new ones I want to start, plus I want to get a novel published.

I have noticed a distinct decline in the number of posts to BC in the last couple of weeks. Is this a trend or coincident?
