The Wrong Side of the Bed

Author: 

SPLAT!
I ran into another unfinished story. Thought I was being careful and checked the date on the last chapter without looking at the end. Posted three years ago so it has to be a completed storyline. Negatory there Blue Leader, the author never tied the tail on it. A beautiful unique story, all warm and fuzzy. Excellent writing is a saving grace. But unless it was a teaser to get us to by the book my disappointment takes top tier.

Thrill of Shopping with a Woman

Author: 

So many stories on BC of shopping for women's things after the body switch, I thought a few graphics might be in order. Suck it up guys, you know that perfect little black dress is for YOU and we want to look drop dead gorgeously sexy in it. It isn't easy finding the perfect one. And the heels must accent not deflect the image we desire. And the earrings...., Okay, you get the idea. After a certain age dropping on a tee shirt and jean shorts is no longer an option to looking sexy. So we cover and leave enough to the imagination to set their minds on fire.

placing your books in bookstores

There may be an inside track for authors who wish to be published.
It won't be easy to get there and your story telling has to appeal to those as an intended target

For those who already understand the ins and outs of publishing in paper format it will tough enough getting a foot in the door. Others who have only published via the web such as Amazon and like, a steep learning curve will be required.

Makeup Can Make a Moviestar

Author: 

I have no idea how many of these makeup transformations I have seen over the years. Some of them really do tug at the belief it could be possible. Always enjoy looking at the power of makeup when it is applied with the touch of those who understand how to use it. Kinda reminds me of the old Glamor Photo ads. "If we can't make you beautiful, no one can." I wish everyone could experience a makeover if only once in their life to see with their own eyes what they can be.

How is a story listed as solo

Author: 

How is a story listed as a solo? It seems I have to ask for someone to change the listing when I post a story and there is no intent to add chapters. I'm guessing there is that "weight" thing I read about in another blog when a writer kept having her chapters list out of sequence.
Thanks

Rough for aging transgender

“If I could not find a place that would allow me to be a woman I would [commit] suicide without hesitation because I will never go back to that pretense, to that vigilance, to that exhaustion of trying to keep everybody happy pretending to be something I’m not,”

"I hate your children"

Author: 

I hate your kids. And I’m not sorry. http://www.salon.com/2015/10/07/im_a_baby_hater_and_im_not_s...

It takes all kinds to make our world and each of us are uniquely one of a kind. Among the billions of people on this messed up planet each individual is one off with no duplicate. Yeah, I know, some will debate that. Moving on to the lady who hates kids. Did she think deep enough to understand she would not be here if her mother or any of the women in her heritage linage thought the same thing?

At age three she said she was a girl

Author: 

Some know immediately something went wrong in that stupid gender blender where boys come out as boys and girls come out as girls and..., hey! Someone read the card wrong. Thank God these people live in a place where they understood rather than waiting until she was eighteen and could take control of her life herself.

Difference between "pig" and Wild Boar

Author: 

Daddy raised pigs along with about everything else. Reading some of the posts about pigs everyone had their own unique experience with them four legged plows. At any given time dad would have over a thousand pigs. He said, "They smelled like money." He could triple the market price, for milo and wheat, by running it through the pigs as feed. Instead of selling his grain he recycled it through the pigs. I guess he did it right. He always received top market dollar for his pigs at the livestock auction.

Can't edit story title

Author: 

Erin, I can't add a chapter II to the series Horse Talk. I don't have a "my stories link" or a way to edit the story. Might have to do with others posting my stories before I ever logged onto BC.

If you can and don't mind, add Chapter II to the second Horse Talk post. If it is too much trouble ignore it. The readers can figure it out. I'll be sure to add chapter numbers from here on out.
thanks
Barb

Parents try and block 48 yr old trans surgery

Author: 

Sadly, another case of those outside looking in thinking TG is a mental disorder. The lady has had drugs, alcohol addiction, mental depression. (can anyone understand why?) Now she's not fit to make a decision and live the life she seeks?
A transgender woman whose parents went to court Wednesday to block her gender-reassignment surgery said she would rather die on the operating table than continue living with male anatomy.

By the way, love her dress. She has good taste in fashion.

She talks to Horses

Author: 

Thinking about posting a story after I mentioned it and someone asked. It is NOT a life shift story. In other words, non transexual or transgender. I started it years back, forgot it until last couple days. It is a couple hundred pages long and NOT finished. I have more unfinished stories than I'm going to tell. I'm not even sure myself. Couple dozen? Who remembers the stories they wrote anyway? Start a story, real life calls, forget the story before I get back, and maybe remember it years later if something jogs the circuits in the mind?

Nice pic of Caitlyn Jenner cover of Vanity Fair

Author: 

I'm going to give you two links. One is the Vanity Fair article.

Time has made a world of difference in how trans are accepted. Christine Jorgensen was outed and every low class photo of her looking like a male in drag was posted in magazines and newspapers. Every derogatory crass remark about what an abomination she was, was written and repeated a thousand times.

She was a couple grades behind me

Author: 

Home town isn't large enough to hide identities nor secrets. We knew which family was cheating on whom We knew whom was dating whom in Jr. High and High School. There was also the local gossip mill about the girls who spread and those who didn't and which boys were active.

That's been years back and personally, I tuned out then and never cared. Honestly, maybe I might but didn't have time. My parents owned a dairy farm. Seven days a week, every day started at 4:30 and quit at 9:00 every night if not nursing sick livestock or harvesting. Then the days got longer.

Whatever Happened to Charley's Aunt - Chapter 10 of 10

Author: 

The last chapter has 3000 reads and no comments which is pretty sad. It is a well written "who done it" story. Charlotte Dickles is an exceptional "gotchu" writer in the style of, if one figures it out before the end they have to be psychic. When writers post stories on Big Closet, Fiction Mania or any of the freebie sites their only payment is gratification from the readers who leave comments. The numbers such as 3000 readers is nice but still just numbers.

12 TG women killed already this year

Author: 

I can't say it often enough. Don't put one's self in a non defensive position. I know everyone wants to be accepted. Predators are the most accepting kind. One time I made a list for not only TG but any person to follow for safety. Especially TG and women need to be extra alert of their surroundings and the body count in that clear space. If anyone is closer than ten feet make sure one's hand is wrapped around mace, pepper spray, or other weapon. Because of my lifestyle I pack heat, usually on my hip with a shirttail draped over it. More than once I have uncovered my defense.
