My next is actually the product of a collaboration with the fabulous Chris Archer, author of ‘Special Inquiries’. ‘Gamer Girl’ is the story of a lad who likes to present as a female in an online computer game. It’s only meant to be an innocent bit of fun – after all, if anybody realises he’s a boy he can just sign out and never go back, right?

It soon becomes more complicated than that, with higher stakes to play for.

Hey everyone! I want to apologize for being so slow with Dear Rylee - I just finished writing Chapter 20 and I'm working on editing 10 for this site. Unfortunately, the editing process is drudging up a LOT of old memories. I've been consulting with people who were there at the time the story happened and finding out what actually happened and what I imagined so I can edit appropriately. Of course, I also have to deal with Tori(not her real name)'s insistence that I just 'stick to my photography' and stop writing, because I'm driving her insane.

As I said in my blog before, I have some lovely pain in my left hand. Needless to say, this makes it tough to type. Of course, the left thumb isn't used in 10 key typing, but the pain likes to remind me that it's them anyway.

I've discovered a good way to write regardless. I'm using a stylus on my tablet. Quite literally the latest chapters of Arctic Fox and the Letters are handwritten. It's really not much slower than typing. And wonderfully, the tablet usually can read my writing. As a matter of fact, I don't have the general problem of my drunk spell checker!

but not that funny!

Hey everyone! Chapter 7 is posted after some heavy editing! This particular chapter is interesting because it was the first time I was actually clocked after my transition. The Fiona thing was...definitely clocking but it didn't count because she had enough outside information to form a definitive conclusion. I remember that disaster like it was yesterday, haha. Anyway, enjoy the chapter, I'll be back either later this week or next week!

I have just written a short story about trans women developing an "ability".

In the story I reference the anti-trans laws that have been or are being passed in the USA. I blamed the Republicans. I am from the UK. Our politics are hard to grasp sometimes, but I have no idea how laws are passed in the USA.

Please forgive me if I got it wrong

I have decided to extend the ‘plot”—such as it is—to fifteen sessions.
Session 13: “Better Things” should be ready by tomorrow.

Has the strange magical camera changed Hallie back to Billy?

Take Me Out To The Old Ball Game was originally published here on September 7, 2009. And I’m republishing it for a couple of reasons, it’s the start of baseball season on this side of the pond, I’ve done some cleaning up to it, and for the new readers who weren’t here in 2009 to be able to read it without digging too deep. Enjoy.

Sorry for not being able to post a new chapter to Haida's travels this week. RL stuff has gotten in the way and I haven't had any time to sit down and write another chapter/part.

That aside, I am curious if everyone likes these bite-size parts as they come out. Or would everyone rather they be longer? Is there anything else that anyone would rather I do different than how its come out so far?

Please let me know.

Inevitably, I find I've misplaced a story.

The son of a department store higher up is in trouble, and she turns him over to the sales staff to make him more presentable. He decided to go for femme style, and the staff goes along with it. He ends up working there.

It’s been almost a month now since I posted a story or a chapter.

And you’re thinking, “yes, and?” And so you should.

But I realized that, from the time I posted the first chapter of my first story here (appropriately, July 4, 2022 — there were fireworks!) until March 4, 2023, I posted something at least once a week. Over 50 separate chapters or solos, and over 450,000 words.

I was attempting a drabble, on a concept that had been lodged in my mind for some time, but it can be TOUGH to write that short.

As you can see, I continue to write. I write scenes and dialog, but need to work on my plotting to find where a story is going. I am hopeful my block is clearing, and may have something next month.

It's time to vote, folks!

Hop on over to the BCTS Patreon and let us know which entry YOU feel deserves to take home the prize! Or prizes, as the case may be. You can vote for as many stories as you want, too, so don't feel afraid to select ALL your favorites!

Well the clocks have changed!

Stumbled upon this old (1926) pipe tobacco ad by Bebe Daniels recently

With all or almost all gender stereotypes vanishing nowadays, what still working stereotypes do you know?

Just as a reminder for folks, today is the last day for entries to go up in the 2023 "Abducted!" story contest! I'd originally intended to give people 'til midnight their own time zone and go on trust, but for simplicity's sake I've been asked to move that to midnight PDT (or, just under 16 hours from the time this blog will post.)

If you don't know where you're going, does it matter when you get there?

Had a couple delays in getting Part 5 of the latest offering finished for posting (as some have noticed). One scene after receiving feedback needed a rewrite which took a couple iterations to (hopefully!) get right. Then my usual proofreader had a week or so of being too busy due to family while also not feeling too great.

but not neccesarily for everyone!

That's right folks, there's less than a week left to get your entries in!

We've had some amazing stories so far, and I'm sure there are more to come!

VR returns later this week with “Catch Me Now I’m Falling” (The Wedding Experiment).

At last I have my nineteenth anthology of short stories up on Amazon. This is another collection on the theme of crime and criminals and has 19 stories including many that have not been published here.

Any one heard from WolfJess7 it's been awhile from the last time she posted anything
