Reading another of Anne McCaffery's tales, Sassenach Pirate Planet where a senior female naval officer in a space fleet attends a dinner in what seems to be described as a Victorian era ball gown. As one might expect, the different space vessels use present day Naval designations Interesting. And they are using FTL propulsion. All this makes for fun fiction but is impossible by present day standards.

Recently, Willow Dancer posted a blog reminding us all of the fourth anniversary of the disappearance of Elsbeth, a much loved author on this site. Like many, I followed her work religiously - especially her stories The Lost Queen and Frejya’s Daughters.

Four years ago this week was her last posting. During the height of Covid, while many of us were stuck at home living vicariously through her wonderful writing, she was still hard at work. Until she wasn’t.

One fiancé is too many! But confusion is guaranteed or double your uncles!

I have a serious character flaw.
I want to please people. I almost always live up to people’s expectations. I feel uncomfortable when I can’t do that.

That is very double edged. On one hand I have lived up to some pretty high expectations and enjoyed and benefited from that.

Realized this weekend that it's been a year since the last 'Part' of The Light Between was posted. Time flies! Hmm, though some of those pesky airborne black dots may have been from the sack of too-long-ignored potatoes which were tossed out yesterday...

I've read several of Karin's books and like many TG authors she puts together arguments as to why we are just ordinary people trying to get on with our lives, however, in this book, she cleverly introduces the fact that we all know something, because everybody does, like the burning of bras by ardent feminists or George W Bush's ranch, no bras were ever burnt, just dumped in a bin - the burning being journalistic embellishment, second, George Bush was never a cowboy or had a ranch, she asserts that he doesn't like horses, may even be afraid of them - probably the only thing he and I have in

My nineteenth book has just hit the virtual shelves. It is, of course, the compilation of NYE competition stories from this site, with a few tweaks--surprisingly few, in fact.

April's here, and it's time for more

There seems to be a disconnect between various parts of the site. There have been no new comments registered for nearly 3 hours and 'Home' shows an entirely different hit and kudos count to 'My Stories'. Even logging in seems to make no difference.

Another reason I like characters with bird wings is one of my favorite childhood books: The juvenile novel Black and Blue Magic by Zilpha Keatley Snyder. Wikipedia says it came out in 1967 and I must have first read it within a couple of years at most. I now have an ex-school library hardback book of the 1972 edition.

Randi Gets Kissed!

As another week nears its end, how about another edition of:

Has anyone heard anything from Angharad? I'm missing her stories.

Life is so complicated when you have to pretend you have amnesia.

A week has passed so I got more credits from DeviantArt and set out to use them, and this week's resulted are... mixed. Not in that I dislike the images, but it's weird for reasons I'll get into in a bit. First, the art:

Well just when I started to get back into developing more story ideas, my computer has decided F you and isn't working properly anymore. Its making weird noises and keeps shutting itself off. I used to have the money to replace it but my account is all but empty now because life sucks. So just when things were FINALLY starting to look up for me, the universe is giving me the finger. :(

Small problems... multiple.

I want to invite user's to revisit my stories. My stories

These last few weeks have NOT been a good time for this site, have they? For what felt like a while, I kept clicking on links to pages associated with this site, only to be met with a blackwall. Apparently the site was having some issues. At first I was worried that the site might end up going down, and I'd lose all the TG stories I've published on here, but that turned out not to be the case. (Although, right now I'm trying to click on the "Home" tab, and it keeps logging me out. So maybe there are still some bugs left?)

Hello everyone! I'm back! At least I will be soon. It's been a long time, I know, but I'm back to writing. I already have a few more chapters written, and will post the next chapter in the saga of Holly Potter soon(ish). I'm still working on carving out solid writing time in a very busy schedule, while also trying to rebuild at least somewhat of an active social life.

Looking for auto racing stories.

Life’s a Drag by Zoe Taylor, Ashleigh McGreagor (my personal favorite)
Racing Angels and Speedway Demons by WolfJess7
Racing Hearts by Melanie Brown

Are there any others? I know of at least one which I cannot find. It was about a crossdresser who drove faster and better when he was dressed. I think that he wore a red wig if I remember right?

It's been about 5 days, so why not another round of....

Today's prompt is all about those furballs that make our lives better.

Joni's back! Her front is amazing, too.
