I've been asked by a couple of people about writing stories in my universes. I appreciate people asking. I guess I did get rather snippy a few years ago over some of the blasphemy being done to Bikini Beach. I've got one very strong and promising author who has taken some of my story ideas and is turning them to gold. They are story ideas which were so far down in my writing queue that I'd never get to them in the foreseeable future.

My new story, "Destiny Bender" is in the works and I should have part one finished soon. This will be a much smaller series than Angel and will revolve around a teenage boy who's struggles in a measly life wishing his life would have turned out different. One day he is given the chance to change a mistake that forever altered his life. While this sounds much like a typical wish kind of story, it is not. Unlike Angel the TG elements will be more front end center rather than subtle.

I had been hoping to have the chapters of my DRU stories and Winter's Child ready by Saturday but being off my hormones and anti-anxiety medications for the past three weeks has been making it harder and harder to concentrate. I had hoped that the end was in sight with me being able to get my medical coverage sorted out tomorrow but on Friday afternoon I got an email from my Aunt's lawyer telling me that she has died and I need to return to my hometown for the will reading.

What's in a name?

I've noticed that as of late the reposting of several stories on BC. How long should one wait before a repost is done. The reason I ask is that I'm tempted to run the Show Me the Money series. Funny thing is that I decided to read the story myself. I hadn't visited it for five years, since posting it, and forgot what a lovely story it is and to be honest forgot most of the characters in the story, and I wrote it. Oh well old age will do that to you, Arecee

Now anyone who knows me, knows that I am not TG. I just feel I understand what those who are go through. I know my work isn't the most popular, but it's been read often and most of the comments have been positive. I'm obviously on the right track at least.

Penny of course is more than a little uncomfortable with this, but accepts that she may not like the subjects I have chosen to write about but is comfortable that I'm not going to start wearing her clothes or spending the weekends 'en-femme', demanding to be called Susan or something similar.

'Apologies for not posting today but I got stuck in North Wales in various traffic holdups and didn't get home in time to post. I'll sort it as soon as I can get to the back up computer in the next few days.'

Mads.

Managed to get that chapter done and posted. Took a lot longer than it should of, but health concerns are a pain in the tuckus and hold up many a project. So hopefully I can get back to juggling stories and get caught up on things. We'll see. Just letting you all know that I'm gonna try but I have a new Tegan book taking up my time as is Written In The Body. I will be doing what I can until those are out and done. Just a heads up, but things should be better now, as I am feeling a good bit better and can write more. Enjoy.

Last year, I came across a book about what makes a hero a hero, and a villain a villain, and what the differences really are. Ok, I lost the link to the book and was wondering if anyone here has, perchance, seen it? Basically, who is the greater good person, the hero that accidentally floods the valley and lets a few innocents die, or the villain who saves the people but makes the hard decisions on who to save? Call thenm the arrogant hero and the tragic villain. There are so many writers here, there must be an answer somewhere, just need to keep looking :P
Thanks!

It is finished. Well, almost finished. I summed up my arguments against trans-sexuality being a sin. Now I want to give an accurate description of your average transsexual because I think society at large doesn't have a clue. I should be done the end of this week and need to edit. Then I need a strong marketing push.

Please, please, please, put away 2.99 for you to buy this the day it comes out and tell others to do the same. I think it is in all our bests interest if this makes the top 10 apologetic list on Amazon.

That's a wrap folks. Part two is going through a second edit and should post tomorrow sometime. This concludes all writing on Angel Season One, and now it's time for a little break. This is a stellar personal achievement of mine, one I am very proud of considering my past dislike for writing. In the seven months I have been writing, I have finished with a word count just over 199k. Feels great to see something through, from start to finish.

just seem to be multiplying!

Sorry folks, got watching part 1 of Labyrinth by Kate Mosse and the night just disappeared. Part 2 is tomorrow but I shall try to do Bike early or late. I have an early bike ride tomorrow and the clocks go forward overnight, so that's an hour off my beauty sleep - and believe me I need all the help I can get in the beauty department.

So apologies to my regular readers, will try to do better tomorrow.

Two of my stories previously posted here on BCTS are revised, expanded, and available as Kindle books.

Lately, I have been seeing several words on any story I'm reading that appear as "Links". I thought this was a new advertising strategy and have not objected. Well, now it's appearing on other sites and one user has suggested that I have a "bot" or something. So are the rest of you seeing this or its it strictly my issue.

I'm stunned. I the last week, I've gone from a bit over 1000 kudos to over 1400.

Yeah, I posted 5 stories/chapters, but even so. That first thousand took years.

Still seems unreal though.

YES! My head has stopped hurting as much and ideas are starting to flow and I already have over 1k written for the next chapter. It is moving slowly but surely in the direction of getting completed. So yes, story is moving towards getting done and I am not dying due to my head exploding. Life is good.

Things are going really well and I am still plugging away at my academic/religious work "The Transsexual at the Cross: Disproving the myth that transsexuality is wrong" It isn't that long, but very intense on research and logic, therefore also very draining. I have to decide a lot of important factors.

Well I have finally gotten the next chapter of 'A Boy and His Dog' done. It only took me two months. Bet y'all thought I had given up, didn't ya?

My new DRU story is going to be delayed a few days. I was hoping to write the first chapter this weekend and post it but it seems sickness has found me :( So hopefully I'll have it up and written by the end of the week :)

In the meantime...for those who are interested here's a little tease: the main character has blonde hair so start your guessing :)

Got a question about practices in girl's PE principaly high school.

Jennifer Jane Pope posted this extensive listing of Brit terms/slang a few years ago at Crystal's Storysite. I thought that if one has interest in the Hartlepool Dictionary, they might want to add this to their lexicon as well.

I haven't heard from Jenny in several years, and don't know if she is still writing or, in fact, if she is still among the living. We used to talk quite a bit in the chatroom at Storysite, but she went somewhat quiet owing to some business problems she was having and eventually she just stopped coming by the chat and sort of dropped out of sight.
