It seems like forever since I last heard anything from Extravagance, our resident cat-kind v-boy.
Anybody know if he/she is okay?
anybody hear from Extravagance ?

Extravagance is still around but usually just for PM's.
Content issues on the site both over inclusion of some of the more abusive types of stories that had been going up and the lack of other stories that show other kinds of trans people than just the usual.

I can understand that
I was wondering and worrying about Extravagance too, but I can understand that point of view. I've never been a fan of the abusive stories either and usually TG stories focus on just the male to female part. It's one of the reasons I tried experimenting with Going Green and making the protagonists a FtM and someone who identifies as female but has no real gender to speak of. I've been considering doing something about a bi-gendered character as well, because the rest of the non-binary gender universe are just as much an important issue as MtFs are but they don't really get much story exposure on this site. It's sad that we seem to exclude them, even if it's not entirely intentional.

Don't take me too seriously. I'm just kitten around. :3
We're the Top Shelf of the genre and we're missing an audience.
It's kind of sad and it feels pretty dated honestly especially with teenaged stories being so popular.

It only seems so
It only seems that we exclude others. I think that it's unfortunate that the FtM feel excluded. The reality is that the largest segment of the gender variant community is MtF. The audience here is, as a result of that, more interested in MtF stories that others.
I can identify with the feeling of exclusion. Since I'm in the non-op category, it seems to me that I'm on the fringe myself. In the old days, I'd have said, I'm just a transvestite, and that's my only claim to the trans community. It seems that everyone else on the site is either post-op or pre-op looking for full transition. These days, I've come to learn that gender variance isn't about where you'll end up, it's about where you are. It's only because that people here seem to take an interest in me and my work that I'm at all comfortable here. I would hope that we, including myself, are as friendly to others in the minority of gender variance.
I've seen several FtM stories, however, since I can't identify with that, I don't read them. Perhaps I've missed some good stories that just happen to have an FtM main character; I don't know.

My sentiment is toward none TG stories
Because I want to publish to the general public and possibly make some money. A couple of people have rather pointedly told me this is a TG site only, while I know it is not. So, I don't know if I am up for that battle. And, I am more into soppy romance than violence, though I know that I have written a couple very violent stories, I am off that now.
General Rule of Thumb
If you have posted a TG story then you are free to post any other kind you want to here. Doesn't need to be LGTBQ subjects either. If ANYONE gives you a problem you can take it to Erin, and she will correct the bad apple and educate them to what this site it for,...STORIES!
