About a month ago an Air Boat Captain on a tour with a family wanted to show a alligator up close so he held out a fish to feed the Gator with is illegally low and behold the 9 foot gator jump up and showed to tourist how to bite the hand that feeds you. The gator was found and the hand was found but sadly the captain is now called captain hook.This past Friday he was arrested for illegally feeding the gator with a $1000.00 bond ,talk about wierd justice.

I may be wrong about this, but it seems to me if I comment on a story before voting that I am unable to leave kudos. If I vote first, then of course leaving kudos is not a problem. Has anyone else noticed this? The reason I'm saying this is that I just received a very nice comment about a recent story; however, the kudos count hasn't changed. I can't imagine getting such a nice comment without getting kudos.

This blog is not really about anything at all, so those who are easily bored can stop reading now. :)

One of my frustrations with fiction writing is that ALL female warriors seem to be required to be nearly naked. This I do not understand, because anyone with breasts can tell you that the girls need to be aggressively supported and protected for a woman to be much of a warrior at all. Not only do they bounce around, but getting hit on one is a real owwie. It is confusing to me where this prejudice comes from on a site where many of us are professing to be women inside. Hmmm.

Hi! I'm working on a sticky block and somehow found myself searching through my memory for a story I once read, but have lost somewhere... I think it's in my amygdala, but I could be lost even there...

The story was about a teenaged boy - trans, at it turns out (!) - hoodwinked into a girl's identity by his cousins, who finds herself a TV (sic) weather girl, and then a reporter, and finally a news anchor, all in one summer.

Does anyone remember this chestnut? Your help would be appreciated.

Whatever Happened To Lulu Martine? Blog By Stanman63 Lulu Martine was posting a story Lulu - A Dark Comedy of Identity, last year and she stopped posting suddenly. I sincerely hope that she is alright and will be returning soon. Anybody know why she is not here?

I promise to be good.

I can be hard on my characters...

Well, progress has been rather slow for my current story, Destiny: Triumph of a Spellbinder, mostly because I've just gotten through a round of revisions. Me and my revisions.... Sheesh!

This has been an interesting weekend. I posted the final parts of my latest story, Adam and the Three Wishes, and then went through the post partum depression of wondering whether or not it would be received favorably. Being filled with a lot of self doubt doesn't help one bit. Thank you everyone for reading and commenting. I feel a lot better now.

I was looking for stories to read from my archived story collection and pulled out the box with The Proffessor stories after reading others I got to the Deity Arms series of stories. The intro says that this is an open universe and can be franchised anywhere in the world(not just NYC),So it might be fun for a country club in Ravenscrest or something in the Center universe maybe even a story from our friends across the pond or down under.
It would be nice to see a fun little universe come back to life.
I hope 1 of the new authors can come up with a story

Between bad weather (storms) the last week and a half upping my pain, the nerve block failing, prepping for Whedonfest in a few weeks and the usual fun and games of my life, I am not sure I will be able to get the next Kith and Kin done and out in that time. Typing this hurts, so...

Gaby chapter is up now

Just an FYI...

Erin is still home, but she is currently without internet acces. She's trying to figure the problem out herself, but the soonest her internet provider can get a tech out is Tuesday.

She will peek in on us from time to time via her cell, and various wifi hotspots when out and about, but let's PLEASE keep up our good record and leave the place mostly in tact for when she gets back online again.

... have been found out!

Someone (i.e. SOMEONE - *wink wink*) scattered carpet tacks on the road during an ascent on the Tour de France which caused at least 30 punctures.

No wonder there has been a deafening silence recently.

Enjoy your upcoming week y'all!

As there have been no episodes of ‘Bike’ for the last few days, I spoke to Angharad yesterday. This is just to let you know, she is well.

While we talked on many subjects, Bike was not one of them.

As one of the fans of this story all I can say is I hope she will continue. Like Tinker Bell, I believe.

So the obvious question is, Do You Believe?

Love to All

I was chatting and the Bill & Ted movies came into the conversation, that got me to wondering, could the princesses that Bill and Ted save be Arabella and Helene?

(Hopefully our two heroines will return soon. :0) )

I was wondering if anyone was willing to move Finding Jenny over to Fictionmania for me. I no longer have the files and my computer is so slow it would take me forever. Thanks.

Solutions is my new ebook, available at Amazon for Kindle (they should have it ready to go in a few hours), and at Smashwords for all formats. Here’s the information:

Charlie has a problem–he’s trying to be like his father Chuck, a sexist cheat.
Charlie’s father has a problem–he can’t wait to dump the kid so he can take off with his new honey.
Charlie’s mother, Carol, has a problem–her husband Chuck.
Charlie’s grandmother, Gram, has a problem–Chuck has dumped Charlie on her farm for the summer.

Lulu.com has a site-wide sale--18% off until Friday the 13th. Strange percentage, but what the heck--just a chance to save on BCTS authors' books!

I've just finished reading Dead Reckoning by Mercedes Lackey. It is a very good book, and the main character is a FtM TV. The book is about zombies in the Wild West (1867). For those familiar with the Deadlands RPG setting, it is much like that without the Ghostrock(?) and physical changes, but with the Magic/Weird Science. For others think Wild Wild West with Magic, that isn't entirely accurate but a decent idea for the setting.

I highly recommend this story along with most of Mercedes Lackey's novels.

Stanman May Your Light Forever Shine

I have been reading some excellent stories that will appeal to some of the folks here.

http://www.chakatsden.com/chakat/FT-index.html

If you don't like furries or science fiction, don't bother.

The Chakat universe involves Earth and the surrounding star systems a few hundred years from now. There are aliens, Earth-developed anthropomorphic beings, humans, star ships, and all the stuff that goes along with that.

The title species, the Chakat, are a race of felitaurs (think of a centaur, but with a cat body for the lower half, and an anthropomorphic cat for the upper half.

So, I think that I might redo some of my stories and resubmit them. OK, so I know how to post them, but I am not sure how to get rid of the old one. Do I just highlight the whole business and then press delete, or is there a better way?

Thanks
