MS Word and Drupal?

I was preparing to re-read Warrior of Batuk, and in the notes before the beginning, the editor said to use a certain font in MS Word. I tried to cut and paste Chap. 1&2 in an open document in MS word, and as I had expected, it did not happen. We all know that I should be on a leash when on the computer. Is there some secret that I missed and is it worth the effort?

If It Was Your Husband concerns

To those of you who have been displeased with the turn of events in If It Was Your Husband; I apologize and ask that you bear with me as a writer. I’m trying to grow my craft. IIWYH is a departure from my usual fair in that it is edgy, not the usual fluff that I tend to write. I can see that I’m still unskilled in putting that kind of story together. This is my first attempt at a story so long that it demands to be posted as a serial.

Looking for a story

As usual, I can't remember the title or the author, or even where it was posted.

The story I'm looking for is about a cross-dresser, whose wife knows about, but does not embrace their feminine expression. They went to Southern Comfort and had their picture taken and it ended up online. They are subsequently then approached by a well known professional football (American) player that are acquainted with.

Thank you for reading “Release Me”

Thank you to everyone who has read “Release Me” and have shared it. It is from a story idea I had in 1992 but never completed. I may not be able to post the next chapter (“Reason to Believe”) until possibly Friday due to work.

If I Was Your Husband 7 & 8 of 20 is up. Another late in the day post. Still not getting the hang of posting a series on a schedule.

This time I had it totally formatted and ready to go. The only tweaking it needed was fixing a typo in the summary.

Enjoy.

One of the best and "underkudoed" stories on BCTS

At the long last I bookmarked that story.
It is, IMHO, one of the best stories I've read ever.
12 years... I read that story, lost it, found... lost again. (I think it was posted on other sites under different names).
So let me share with you...

Gaby Book 25 Only Five Minutes

I just finished reading Maddy Bell's Gaby - Book 25 - Only Five Minutes. And I can honestly say a job well done! It's a great continuation of all the preceding books. It looks like Gaby is going to be doing some serious riding in Book 26 as she has a new, VERY fancy, bicycle. After all Gaby is a World Champion and deserves such a steed.

Keep up the GREAT work Maddy.

IIWYH 5 & 6 is up

"If It Was Your Husband" 5 & 6 is up. Sorry for posting so late in the day. I didn't sleep well last night and somehow after work I didn't think about what day it was, until just now. I started to think about what I needed to get done tomorrow, Saturday, ... OH YEAH! TODAY'S FRIDAY. TIME TO POST TWO MORE CHAPTERS.

Then in my haste, I forgot to actually insert my title in my posting template. So just below the graphic it reads:

Light Status

As it's been almost half a year (eep!) since the posting of the last part of the latest book, The Light Between, I'd been pondering posting a status update on the next installment, Hope's Light. And as this week a kind reader (hi Bibliophage!) reached out with an inquiry following up with encouragement to post about it, here we go.

Authenticity in Stories

Trying to write effectively after a long period of absence is so hard right now. I can only hope that it gets better. Today, while reading another's work, it was clear that they had "missed a spot". I'll be even more alert to this weakness in both my own work, and in the work of others. As an example; when something happens to transform a man into a woman, perhaps it should follow that his brain and thought patterns should change too? Or perhaps the writer could make it clear that his change was merely superficial?

Gurl... am I alone in this?

Author: 

Am I the lone ranger on this issue? I don't notice it on this site, but it seems to appear often over on Fictionmania. Some where in the teaser or even sometimes in the title, the word "gurl" turns up in reference to trans women or trans girls. When I see that it's an automatic pass on the story because having to read that word throughout the story will set me in edge.

“Interesting” Foreword

Way back in April 2010, BC author ‘Koalas’ shared ‘Him Lady or She Male’ on this site. It’s still here, in fact.

Or, if for some reason you would prefer to give £5.92 to a thief, you can buy it from Amazon, where the same text has appeared as Girl By Accident: TRANSGENDER TRANSFORMATION by Selena Jeffries.

A Remembrance of Stories Past

It’s a beautiful morning, and as I was drinking my first morning coffee (no, I never stop at one!), I was thinking back to the stories that first captured my attention, and my heart, at BC. Two came to mind, each by an author that hasn’t posted here in years.

The first is Rebecca Anderson’s series Wild Horses, a heart-breaking story of love, transformation, life and loss from an author whose prose is absolutely amazing. I think I found this story through a Google search, and it brought me to BC.

Trying to find a story

I am trying to find a story that I read years back.

It might have been by Bob Arnold, and his characters from Zapped! were involved in it to a small extent.

It was about a boy who was at a native American site (Possibly his mother was an archaeologist?) and ended up in a copper kettle used for special ceremonies, and was hit by lightening and he was transformed into a female. IIRC there was some evil men trying to grab the archaeological site for a resort of something. I just can't remember more.

It was a good read and I really want to read it again.

I don't know if I've ever had so much fun writing, or been so prolific...

I don't know if I've ever had so much fun writing, or been so prolific...

On average, I write about 20,000 words a month. Recently, I've been having some issues, so I haven't been writing as much. But things are maybe not entirely okay now, but things are what they are. Anyhow, I've been writing a lot more now, most notably for stories that I plan to post here. My regular writing is on track, so the stories I write here aren't getting in the way on them.

Forces for Good?

Today I looked at reviews on a story I posted on Fictionmania and found this one, from a reviewer calling themselves "King" - "I would ask you to reflect on whether the stories and work you're doing is a force of good or one of wrong. What's the legacy being left behind and is it one of moral good. We all have the capability to do good,and you should reflect on the values and ideas being normalized and propagated by yourself. Please do better".
I have to say that these words did give me pause, and perhaps we should all reflect on whether our fiction has a greater purpose.

Hello out there

Hope everyone's doing well.

I've been absent for quite a while now. Close to a year.

If you don't know me that's okay. I'm the author of Adrian and Walkers Path. One of which I took down.

To be honest I stopped writing those stories. I'm sure I'll get back to them one day. For now I've been working on a Sci-fi/LITRPG novel. It's over 80k words and I'm beginning to see the end of the road for it.

Let me know if you want to see more collections.

About "If It Was Your Husband"

I'm about to start posting a new story. It's entitled "If It Was Your Husband". It's the story I talked about in my last blog. After editing it now weighs in at 49,188 words. It's in twenty chapters. It is completely finished and had been out to an editor and back. It is my intention to post it two chapters at a time. That will make each post roughly 5,000 words. It will be my first time posting serial. New adventure as a writer.

The first installment is due to go up tomorrow and it is my intention to post every Friday for the next ten weeks.

I am looking for a story and I just can't find it.

All I remember is the beginning, where a still closeted trans girl has to undergo a CAT scan, which causes her to freak out and out herself to her parents.

Any help is appreciated.
