Looking at the story menu tonight, I am surprised at my own reaction to it. Referring to someone as a sissy is particularly off putting for me but talking about someone being feminized or even forcibly feminized is not. Odd that. This is in no way a criticism of others but simply refers to my own reaction to the word.

"You have not yet begun your story." The Ghostly Author's countenance fell, and the air was filled with the acrid stench of unfinished tales. "Yet chance and favor may yet be yours."

"Now, Emma!" Scrooge scoffed. “I've got all the time in the world. I can't even post an entry until New Year's Day, and Valentine's day is weeks away!"

“It’s Sunday,” the Ghostly Author replied. “Do you know where your muse is?”

“Ah. Well. Errr. About that,” Scrooge temporized.

I re-read Butterscotch on Kindle and loved it. Perhaps I read it the first time on BCTS years ago? It was quite entertaining and winsome. Things do not often turn out so well for folk like us but a bit of fantasy is quite welcome. I'd recommend this to anyone.

I never did find a way to leave a review on Amazon.

for my Patreons and folks contemplating joining!

I can say without ego that I'm very proud of what I accomplished with Wednesday Knights. I feel like it's the best story I've written -- which might not be saying much, but it is what it is.

A lot of people have told me they really liked it, or even loved it. Many people have said -- perhaps simply to make me feel good -- that they think it's one of the best stories they've read.

Honestly? I like hearing that, because it makes me feel like I'm growing as a writer.

But you know who else needs to hear that?

The people over on Amazon Kindle.

Well it did mean i got a bit of writing done instead!

I'm having electrical work done on my house tomorrow. There may be a delay in posting the next part of Masks 27.

There have been about 30 contests promoted on this site since I came here. I joined in June 2007 and I had never written a story in my life!

of Advent for any God botherers out there, a fortnight to party season for the rest of us!

A reader commented on wanting to know more about the Joel family…
And here it is, the start of the sequel…or is it a prequel to “Release Me”?

For those like me who have been looking at a lot of best books lists in hope of finding something new, especially anyone looking at best fantasies. Most of them do get around to mentioning Tolkein eventually( He should be at the top) but I've seen no mention of what I think is the second best fantasy epic of the last century. Guy Kay Gavriel's Fionaver Tapestry. He draws together a vast range of folklore from across Europe in one masterful story. There is no trans content but has everything else you could want in a fantasy tale.

Part two of Silver Bell Wishes is now up!

Due to a slow connection and an itchy button-pressing finger, it got posted twice.

I hope the Admin will remove the second posting. I promise to be more patient with future postings

I'm only the messenger here but anybody who has not read Dimelza Cassidy's stories does not know what writing is all about. They were originally posted here but have ended up on FM. Don't ask me why,Just read them and be thankful that they are still here.

The e-book of "A Cracker Barrel Christmas" on Amazon will be free for this week from the 4th to the 8th.

Please leave a review if you wish to do so.

Thank you

we are now into the final throes of 2023.

Amanda faces the music after her 'Mom" has to pick her up from jail.

and the sky is grey.

There’s no contest this time but I’m still going to try and finish this before December 23rd. The continuation of “A Cracker Barrel Christmas” has Nicole and her family going to see her older brother in Texas. While there, she meets a homeless couple who sleep in a car across the street from a “Whataburger”. Nicole tries to find a way tgo help them and all of the homeless in the sub-freezing weather of a Texas suburb.

I am hoping to post Chapter 11 of “I Don’t Like You” by next weekend.

I've been working on some short stories that one might classify as lewd or pornographic. I had thought that I would tone them down before I published them at BCTS feeling as though that was my only proper option. One of them is Forced Feminization with Bondage. I am shocked at myself that now that I'm nearly finished, I do not wish to castrate it. Yes, I know there are other sites and I wonder if I should attempt to use one of them?

Honest! The car broke down on the way home!

I may read more than most people, and much of it is at BCTS. Most of the stories I read are good to excellent. If there is one suggestion that I would make to almost all authors, it would be to be more descriptive in their writing. There is a balance between that and wordiness and I am not sure that I know where that is. I would make the same criticism of my own writing.

A short rant.

I published a story that had plenty of Trans content, but also Female Domination, Bondage, BDSM, Slavery the whole 9 Fetish yards really. It had the caution warnings, then had more added because apparently people ignore the content warnings and read anyway.

It got comments of the ewww and not for here, and can you not write sweet gentle stories like wot we want?

As I have ran through several edits to the story I realized how much was not fully explained and how I could extend the middle. I plan to have Tai relive each day, but, much like an episode of Star Trek TNG (Cause and Effect), slight changes are made each time she relives the day.
I also wanted to know if it is required to show more of what happens to during these loops.
