Dragon's Fang returns!

I posted my story "Immune Response" on Fictionmania yesterday.
I received a bunch of reviews / comments.
This one pleased me:
"Reviewed by Kirafair on 05/16/2022
"In case anyone is curious and since Maryanne put in a nice description at the beginning, an immune response to your own body components is an autoimmune type response and not technically an allergy. There could be some overlap in the observable aspects of the immune reaction that can lead to using the terms interchangeably

So I updated the chapter in question, here on BCTS.

I just realized, however, that the evidence in question wasn't discussed. At least not out loud. Bill and Sylvia had copied everything they had found and presumably highlighted certain sections.

Interestingly, one of the two in the office revealed something unexpected to me while I was writing the update, forcing me to update the next chapter as well. Sigh. This is what I get for letting my characters have a certain amount of autonomy, I suppose.

I decided to re-read EOF's stories but can't seem to access them. Did they go to Amazon or something?

Lately I'm having a sort of cognitive disconnect that is frightening. I've understood and grown accustomed to my rough drafts being embarrassing. Perhaps it would simply be easier to stroke out and die? Mostly I've enjoyed it despite the painful times. Thank you for being part of it. This is not a suicide note.

a bright interlude!

well not much has happened!

I have now published my twelfth anthology of short stories on Amazon having published my first just a year ago. This is a series of books that my publisher has called “Mainly Happy Endings” because people who read me will know that I like my TG tales to be real and uplifting. Each book has its own themes and each book contains stories that have not been published online – other than as work-in-progress on my Patreon. 12 books and 192 stories in total.

I was reminded of this story after reading another 'Looking for a Story' post, in which the MC may be over weight, and I think Leslie Moore's "Copy. Cure." may have been the front runner

I just spent the last several hours reading and re-reading the list of author names but I just cant get Desiree and her story "The Bronze Maiden" out of my mind

Pete tries to consult a higher authority....

This is set early in the 2000s. A families Mother dies and the children's only living relatives are somewhere north. I think this story starts out in northern Florida or Georgia and they have to hike to somewhere on the middle east coast, or even Maine perhaps. It is a harrowing journey for them and that is all I can remember.

I'd like to read it again.

Thanks

When an idea for a story seems funny as hell, but then surprisingly reveals itself to be quite dark.

Is the lack of comments intentional or accidental?

Anyhoo, its an interesting start to what could become quite a saga. Method writing isn't a new thing, i do it myself, its rare that i ask my characters to do anything i haven't experienced myself, (i said rare, not never!) but to use it as the story plot may be a new one!

10 points to Hufflepuffs!

I was just looking at my author's page and noticed that my story Costumes was written 10 years ago. It is hard to believe it has been that long. A lot has changed over that time, including my transition. That story was a major stepping stone to me shedding my own costume. I put so much of myself into it. I am glad I got a chance to share it with all of you. Thanks to all of you who have read it and commented over the years.

Costumes

Is the final chapter of Drew Goes South the chapter that was posted on 2022/03/08?

Well! I've said some things about what's been happening, but it's been moving so quickly I'm really not sure of it all myself!

We've had a few last gasps of a dying winter here in the Pacific Northwest, but during the last few convulsions, I was in Phoenix, spending time with my parents and my sister, and ended up with a sunburn. Ah, the feeling of freezing while the top layer of epidermis peels off your arms and shoulders. Such bliss!

Just finished "The Unicorn's Gift", having read it for the first time in 2008. What a lovely tale. It was a rare delight.

I do hope that the author is well and prosperous and enjoying the Maine winter snow.

Much peace

even if you aren't Christian religous everyone likes Easter right?

Yes... I got bored waiting for the UG2 next chapter and decided to buy all of the chapters from Amazon...
So, Shiraz, say a big thank you to your government. I will just get an unread book from my shelf... You just got sanctioned out of my money for your books...
Anyone still think that sanctions are against Russia? $-)

From near the end of the next Angel of... story. After WWII, three of the superhumans who helped the Allies win are discussing their plans. Two decide they're just going to get away from it all:

"We're going away," said Sutter. "Marie and I have found this place, in Puerto Rico, not far from an old Spanish city but out in the country. It has this bowl-shaped valley. We can lie in the bottom of the bowl and watch the stars go by overhead with no interference."

Back in October, I was honored by one of many favorite authors with her go-ahead to collaborate with her on continuing one of her unfinished stories

or at least i will be on the morrow!

So the folks over at Lulu.com have started another promotion today
