As a fan of multiple authors here and at other sites, I am wondering which author or authors you go back to when you are looking for a good story or two to read. When I go looking I seem to find my self looking for the stories written by Wolfjess, Snowfall, Paula Dillon, Sara UK and efindumb first.
I'm looking for some people who's stories I have not read yet and may enjoy at another time.
Thanks for your help in advance. Hugs!

Chris Meadows, aka Robotech Master, and one of the two main creators of FreeRIDErs ( https://shifti.org/wiki/FreeRIDErs_(setting) ), has passed away due to brain injuries caused by a SUV hit and run while he was on his e-bike.

So I've been thinkin' about writing a lot lately, and a few recent stories have spurned a bit of an odd series of thoughts in my noggin'.

A lot of trans fic, whether intentionally or unintentionally, tends towards fantasy to some degree or science fiction. That's not to say ALL stories do, but even when it's very light -- whether it be the miraculous power of subliminals to change you utterly or a brand-new magic pill that does the same -- a lot of trans stories delight in utilizing fantastical gadgets or wonder drugs to do the dirty work.

My question, though, is this:

Firstly, I would like to say that if it hadn't been for this site and Sapphire's Place, Beverley's Balcony and Maddy... I wouldn't have ever gone down this road. So, I'd like to thank ERIN and all of you who have encouraged me and helped (by buying my work) and even offering me advice and I would add - some critical advice, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing.

Crazy idea here....read no farther if you scare easy!

Some how in the world I and a few others write in or about, we have elves, fairy, drow, pixies, nymphs, mermaids and tons of other Fae creatures!

Well with this election, an evil idea stuck me!

To start the US federal government being one of those organizations that sometimes does a bad job and other times it goes far, far, far and above the most basic description of the job needing to be done.

I've just finished a story -- a real story, the first in a couple of years at least, and I'm supposed to wait a couple weeks, then go back and revise the story. At least that's what I've advised everyone else. But the very idea of this makes me really antsy.

Shauna Rousseau's "The Loft" chapter 3 is being previewed on BC Patreon a few days early for Patrons. :)

Thanks, Shauna!

Kissy re-introduces herself to her friends and Rory learns about the mini-culture of gamers.

An accident in bio-lab may have changed Jamie's life...

Some of you may have noticed that over the last months I have done something that many people have been asking for:

I have written a series.

I have a long story in work that Dawn Jehs was reviewing / collaborating with me on. As a previous post noted, I haven't heard from her for many months, and the lack of someone from whom I can get feedback has really affected my writing. While I don't want to replace Dawn's role, I do need to get someone to assist with this. The role is reviewing chapters or sections as they get written, reviewing / assisting with the story outline, offering suggestions, and generally helping keep me on track.

To every one of you who have questioned yourselves, who haven't been able to make that big step...I know where you are...I've been there and I KNOW how difficult it is!

These words, from a TV show of all things, helped me...encouraged me...spoke to my struggle and the courage they spoke about. It became my private, personal theme.

I share them with you now. They may be familiar to anyone who is a Science Fiction fan.

Rod Stewart's words.

Happy Sunday!

I have started another novel ("The Loft") and will post chapters as I get them written. I only have a couple of chapters written, so this one is a work in progress and my writing time is very limited right now--but I felt like I needed to get something in the works to get over my "Broken!" hump. LOL

So, these may not be exactly weekly, but I will keep them as close to that as possible.

I hope you like the story!

HUGS!

Can someone tell me, in "Easy as Falling off a Bike," what chapter was it that Cathy and Simon went up to the castle in Scotland to celebrate their marriage? Or didn't they?

Thanks,

Teddie

Thye next chapter of You Are a Meany is just about ready to be posted. It has taken a while because I had health issues. I am almost fully recovered from the issues so I should be able to write at a more normal pace. I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding.

Love N Hugs

A brief list!

Yes folks, another new book published...
Many of you have PM'd me to attempt to ascertain my 'other names' under which I publish.

Well, the truth is that the 'other names' don't sell nearly as well as Tanya Allan, so I am now going to bring all my work under this one - TG or not.

This one is the first of many that I was going to publish under another name - it is a romantic thriller and is as straight as they come.

For those of you following Apocalypse Dawn, I have added a considerable amount from my story notes and background info to the appendix over the last few days to make things a bit easier to keep track of. I've added a character list of sorts, as well as some information on monsters and other creatures that have been mentioned at some point in the story and maybe even things that haven't been yet. Just let me know if there is anything that I missed or should add, though I'll be keeping any spoilers to myself ;)

It may not be true for long but as of just now, DopplerPress has 17 of the top 100 books on the Kindle LGBT YA bestseller list. :)

This is NOT the most we've scored there, a month or so a go we had 18 but it didn't last long enough for me to get a blog up about it. :)

Go DP!

And thanks to the authors who have put us on that list!

I found a book series about a trans girl who becomes a superhero. you can check it out if you like: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30279514-dreadnought

One of my favorite movies is the 1950s classic Friendly Persuasion – starring Gary Cooper. The entire movie is based on people trying to motivate the Quakers to take part in war. The movie dissects the ethical considerations for various members of one large family. (It also has a great theme song - Thee My Love by Pat Boone.)

We have recently discussed forced fem stories.

I'm reposting SNAFU which used to be on Sapphire's site but which has now become unavailable. I was asked to do so by several readers including our own Web Mistress. I have tidied up a number of typos and other mistakes, though Grammarly doesn't appear to recognise proper English (ie UK variety) in terms of spelling so it nearly drove me to distraction.

After a nice day visiting with Friends!
