After being rather nicely put in my place the other day after commenting on another blogger's premise, I went to Holly's compilation and copied the first 50 chapters. I think that was late yesterday. Finished those and have copied the next fifty chapters. Will probably finish those this evening. Other than being especially well written, sweet, delightful, insightful, tear jerking, giving warm feelings to the tummy, I don't understand what the stir is all about. Excuse me, I have some reading to do.

If you're like me, you'll become a sleep-deprived Bike addict; watch out! There should be a warning on the wrapper. :-)
I'm up to part 946. Yea! I'm almost caught up!
As I finish each compilation of 50 parts, I go back to the originals on BC and quickly go them through and vote.

Aide memoire
You may notice a rather small, insignificant looking link hiding under the table at the bottom of the main archive page.
It links to a steadily growing collection of short (usually single line) chapter summaries and memorable quotes...
Might come in useful to someone, sometime...

Kate Bush Transgender?
Just from body dimensions, I'd say she could be or perhaps intersex, or some variation around the norm. It is no crime, in fact I think if I am right, her adaptation has been really awesome. At first I thought her voice to be a falsetto, and if it is then she has absolutely mastered it. Freddy Mercury in "Queen" had an amazing falsetto and in certain of his pieces, I searched for the female backup singer, only to find it was his voice.
As I sit here writing this, I have her doing an interview with Desmond Morris on Youtube, my idea seems absolutely daft. There certainly is no trace of anything but the most feminine voice there. I must confess, that I find the British accent to be absolutely captivating.
Oh well, I will stop my stupidity. I certainly do not want to be seen as dirt digging.
She is a lovely performer with no trace of the T in her that I can see.

They have also recorded 'unique' covers of Smells Like Teen Spirit, Teenage Kicks, Shaft, and The Good The Bad and The Ugly (amongst others)...

It was my problem, not Angharad's but I was pretty fuked up when she started the series, and could not bear suspense, and could not remember the content because of the wait at first between chapters.
I began to read it again when it got to about ep 700. It took me about three weeks to finish it and I think it is absolutely of commercial value, even to the Muggles out there.
If it Failed in the main stream press, then perhaps the first 20 chapters could be rewritten to make Cathy an Intersex person, or some such rott, who tried to live as a boy, but finally gave it up as a bad project. I don't think the T element is vital to the story at all.
Fine job Angharad!

Like many stories here on BCTS
If you remove, or even just tweak, the 'T', 'I' or 'CD' element, you're still left with a rattling good yarn which could slip seamlessly into the mainstream.
