New Novella: My Faustian Bargain

Greetings everyone,

Announcing the arrival of my new novella, ‘My Faustian Bargain’: the tale of a man who uses ancient magic to borrow against his own future and live a life of comfort and ease. After eight years it’s time to pay up and Kurt soon discovers the downside of having enhanced his manliness as all debts are collected, plus interest.

Kurt becomes Kirsten, a lowly maid to his former lover – and Kirsten’s troubles are only just beginning.

Regarding "The Story of a Reluctant Southern Belle"

Good morning everybody, first allow me to thank everyone who's read 'The Story of a Reluctant Southern Belle' I'm very pleased with the support its recieved. The story though has given a bit of writers block. And while I think on it, I've decided to given some attention to a few of my other stories I have floating around in limbo. One new story I hope to publish is called "The Mallrat Chronicals" it ties in with my other stories, and is set in the same area of Mississippi as my other stories.

Perusing my bookmarks and missing people……..

I was looking through my bookmarks this evening, deciding on a story to read, when I started thinking about the authors that I have become acquainted with here and those that I am missing.

Has anyone heard from Elsbeth? She is one of my favorite authors, but she disappeared suddenly around the beginning of Covid.

Bailey Summers posts sporadically and is another of my favorite authors. I hope to see more from Bailey soon as I basically owe my life to Bailey. We’re it not for Bailey, I would probably have eaten the muzzle of my .45 nine or ten years ago.

Iolanthe's Comment

At the end of a long and carefully thought-out comment in another blog, Iolanthe said, “It is always a little distressing when another reader looks down their nose at stories or categories that I prize, but oh well. We're not all in the same place; we don't all have the same tastes.”

As usual, Iolanthe has caused me to think.

I'm sorry

I'm sorry it took so long but finally chapter 12 is out! I know it's been many months but i hope those of you who like this story will forgive me

I've been going through a lot mentally and while it's no excuse it's made it very hard to write. I think I'm back in it now though so hopefully it won't take this long next time.

Bookstores

I love discoveries in bookstores. What are favorites, perhaps not in your own town but a worthy destination?

One of mine is Malaprop’s, Asheville, North Carolina; forever grateful to the friends who insisted on a stop there during a trip.

Also, does it have a cat, at least as of your last visit? Malaprop’s: yes.

Divorce papers in the USA

I'm doing some research for a future story and would like a little bit of help.

How long would it take to prepare a set of papers for a divorce? If the side petitioning for the divorce knew what they wanted before contacting an attorney, how long before they could get the application for the divorce? I would like it to be pretty short.

I need this to work on the timeline for the story.
Thanks,
Samantha

I laugh at stuff like this as an author

I laugh at stuff like this as an author

One of my characters I write about 'Shadowsblade' begins a career as an action heroine and I think about stuff just like this when I write that part of her stories.

Imagine walking into a store...a wallmart and there is a aisle of toys with hundreds of little 'you-s' all along it! Big ones, small ones all kinds!

The weirdness factor alone!

Horizon Zero Dawn (Aloy)

I sat up very late watching a movie in which a Gamer took all the parts of a Sony Video Game and put them together to make a movie. I have NO idea how they did this, since I am not a Gamer. Said movie, about 6 hours long was much better than the movies I rent and it called "Horizon Zero Dawn. The main protagonist is called Aloy.

If you look it up on YouTube, I hope that you enjoy it.

Missing chapters

Just been readind airforce sweetheart by T D Aldoedenneti chapters 1-14 where brilliant went to read chapter 15 all I got was this chapter is no words long checked all the other chapters in the story got the same message no words long can anybody tell me why as other users of this site have left comments on these chapters so they must have been there at sometime in the past if these chapters have been removed surely this dishonours his or her memory as I am sure the author would want us to carry on reading their stories.

All stories should be back

Database repairs done.

All stories should be back in place.

I got the first notice something was wrong at 2:45 pm my time. I was at lunch and got the note on my phone as I walked in the door here.

Piper was unavailable, so I tried to fix it myself and had things back up by 3:10.

At the current time, there are no mods but ME. And occasionally, I do something else for a while.

Like now. I think I will take a nap. I got up at 430 after going to bed at 1215 last night.

Hugs,
Erin

Moving The Mockreet

Hey Everyone!

I know at least five of you have been enjoying my story The Mockreet, but I logged in today to find that the latest chapter's text has been entirely deleted and I'm unable to re-add the text. It looks as if the mods have taken away my ability entirely so...I'm going to remove all of my chapters here and move over to Scribblehub. The story is keeping the same name. I appreciate your understanding, or not. Either way.

Computer troubles

My nine-year-old iMac is dying by inches. I will need to get a new computer soon.

I'm thinking of moving away from Mac, even though I love them.

My brother is looking for a desktop computer that will be good for my purposes and not break my budget, but suggestions are welcome. I already have a good PC laptop which I'm going to spend today setting up as backup for Daisy here.

Hugs,
Erin

The Mockreet - Wrapping up Part 2

Hey Everyone! Whew, it's been a crazy two weeks since I started writing The Mockreet, hasn't it? If you were wondering, yes, I have been writing as I post, and it takes about four hours to write each chapter. In fact, there are four chapters written that I haven't posted yet. Reason is that this last chapter is one that I envisioned from the beginning and it's very important to me; I want everyone to have a chance to see it before it's moved off the front page.

The problems of being and becoming a trans lady in past.

I realise how hard it is coming out and living as your heart tells you you must live. I have never had the courage to do it. After hearing the horror stories of those that did have the courage or perhaps the naivety to tell their parents or carers, I am often glad I didn't.

I came across this letter on another site. It has many "truths" that most of us will recognise.

"Chance and Hope" in the Whateley Academy Universe?

For a pretty long while, I've been thinking of adding to my story"Chance and Hope", but my ideas seem to wander all over the place, with no real focus. Recently, while reading some stories set in the Whateley Academy Universe, and it occurred to me that my story might fit in that universe. The only problem is, I'm not really sure how much I'd need to change my story to make it fit in that universe.

Aidra's Ramblings 9/21

Hey guys, I want to apologize for having a slight breakdown and also for the chapters coming so slowly. This particular story is hard to write because it involves a lot of dysphoria, even though the cast of characters isn't transphobic. I guess I forgot that some events, like Lyra's mental break meant a lot to me, but won't mean much to other people. In any case, I appreciate the comments and the encouragement, I'll try to write chapters faster :)

Geez, it's getting hard to login here lately!

Last week I was locked out of BigCloset for three days, unable to login because either my username or my password was unacceptible. Could not even use the link to change the password-- because when I did, I got a message the link was bad, or backfetch had failed, or the link was no longer valid, or (really the topper) that I had already used the link before.

Same thing yesterday. Today I only got backfetched twice.

I miss this sight. I really do.

Requesting a favor and status update

I would like to request if I could have anyone take a quick read through some of the chapters of “A Cracker Barrel Christmas”. I am trying to clean up some edits as I want to submit the book to the local Cracker Barrel locations in my area BUT, I want to make sure that the story holds and is believable. The book is on the site, divided by chapters.

Working on Madam Martinique's Finishing School - Part 6

After including a couple of people from my older Madam Martinique's Finishing School story in my newer Janegirl Camp story, I started thinking about my older story, and how so many people seemed to want to see more of it. Eventually, I started writing Part 6. Even though I only got about 500 words in before I got stuck, it was really nice working with Billie again.
