Has anyone done a timeline for Julie O's stories, especially one that includes the stuff others have written set in her universe?

It'd be nice to see what order to read things in.

Also, I don't suppose there's any chance of getting her stuff in e-book form is there?

What I remember is that is was about a kid how living as a boy at home, but attending school as a girl. I think they changed clothes somewhere in between.

Parents didn't know.

Vague, I know, but here's hoping.

*Edit*

Seems to have been found. Thank you all for the quick response

I've noted a certain type of spelling error becoming very common in stories.

There are a lot of verbs that occur in pairs where the second one is the first one wioth an E on the end.

hop, hope
rat, rate
slop, slope

And many more.

There's a rule about how the past tense of these words is spelled. You double the final consonant on the ones that don't don't end in E before adding the -ed.

Like this:

hop, hopped
hope, hoped

rat, ratted
rate, rated

slop, slopped
slope, sloped

Once again I've noted a couple of frequent grammatical errors in stories and thought I should try to help folks avoid them.

First off we have the "[person] and [pronoun]" construct.

For example "Shelly and I went to the store" or "The boys threw something at Shelly and me".

Note that the [person] always goes first. But getting that backwards is a minor error. More common (and jarring) is using the wrong form of the pronoun. In the above examples, that would be: "Me and Shelly went to the store" or "The boys threw something at Shelly and I".

While re-reading Frills, the attempted kidnapping reminded me of another story. But I can only remember a few details.

The t-girl in the story got grabbed from her front yard at night, just short of crossing over into her next door neighbor's yard. I recall something about a dumpster. Either she was dumped in one after being raped, etc or som e evidence that led to her was dumped in one.

And at some later point she plants a tree/bush on the spot in the yard where she was grabbed.

Anyway, that's all I can recall, and it's driving me nuts.

While going thru the 100+ gigabytes of old Dr. Demento shows on my hard drive, I stumbled across this short that further investigation revealed that he's only played twice.

Santa and a little girl

Seemed appropriate for here.

Ok, time after time I see stories with the protagonist whose "balls haven't dropped yet" and that either say outright, or strongly imply that they do so at puberty.

As someone born male, this always bugged me. Because I clearly recall mine being there as far back as second or third grade. Let's just say it involved a stupid dare, ok?

So I finally did some digging on medical sites.

Guess what? They normally "drop" sometime before *birth*.

Ok, things are going to slow down for a bit. Most of what I've been posting was already written and only needed editing/rearranging.

Now I'm getting to new stuff (or at least newly completed/expanded) and things are likely going to be more spaced out.

Also, my muse decided that now was the time to take the note (and a couple paragraphs of actual story) I had for Don & Alice and go with them.

Don and Alice are *different*. VERY different.

I suspect that many people aren't going to like their background a lot. Alas, they are what they are. And their background, interests, etc are a big part of how they wind up at Whateley as well as how & why they have their abilities.

A few obscure html tags that can be useful in stories and info posts. Checking to see if they work here.

Back when I was a teen, I was definitely fairly trans. Though I hadn't a clue that such a thing existed.

I recall things like standing in front of a full length mirror with my boy parts tucked back between my legs. And trying to tape things back inside for a smooth front. Never could get the tape to hold though...

Then I found a book mom had been reading. I read it. And it was my introduction to transexuality. It was also why I didn't even *think* about it for a number of years afterwards.

The book? Myra Breckenridge by Gore Vidal.

Something a friend posted a link to over on LiveJouyrnal.

Had me in tears.

You've got to be taught to hate and fear

I'm stunned. I the last week, I've gone from a bit over 1000 kudos to over 1400.

Yeah, I posted 5 stories/chapters, but even so. That first thousand took years.

Still seems unreal though.

A few folks seem to have gotten the wrong idea about Morgan's outfit.

It's been a *lot* of years since high school, and I find myself needing a better idea of what sorts of things they have the kids doing in PE these days. Especially at the start of the year, and at the start of the second semester. Both boys and girls PE.

Heck, I'm not even sure what sports practices would be going on those times of year (Sept/Oct, and Jan/Feb)

So if you have recent experience (either yourself or your kids, let me know. It's for some of the story plotting I'm doing.
