Don't know why, but my thoughts recently have been on the Kids Kamp universe of stories. I know they go back a ways. If I recall correctly, some of the authors were:
Holly H Hart
Maggie the Kitten
Shalimar
Who were some of the other authors?
Does anyone remember what the first few stories in this series were? Who was the original author?
Now I want input from those that might access such things. Are there any problems, glitches, confusing elements, or things you think should be changed or improved. I only have access to one web browser, so it might be helpful if you include your web browser if you list a problem.
I was just looking at my author's page and noticed that my story Costumes was written 10 years ago. It is hard to believe it has been that long. A lot has changed over that time, including my transition. That story was a major stepping stone to me shedding my own costume. I put so much of myself into it. I am glad I got a chance to share it with all of you. Thanks to all of you who have read it and commented over the years.
Sometimes as an author you write a line that is just perfect. The type of line that tears at the reader's heartstrings. The type of line that makes a perfect last line of a chapter, that will have all the readers mad at you for ending there.
I just wrote a line like that. I hadn't put any chapters yet in this story that I am writing, but after writing this line, I will. You will all hate me when you read it, but . . . You will tune in to the next chapter after reading it.
For Friday the 13th, I present a challenge to everyone on the site.
- Find a story that you like, but instead of clicking on it to open it up, click instead on one of the categories the story is tagged with.
- Then scroll down to the bottom of the page where you can go to the next page with stories under that category, click on 9 and then scroll down again and click on 13.
I have bought the clothes. I grew my hair out. I have even ordered some breasts. So, why am I so scared to wear the things. The desire is there. I will wear pajamas with no difficulty. I have even started wearing leggins and a pink t-shirt around the house. I am scared to put on other stuff. Something always stops me.
I have thought about going to a trans support group all dressed up, but backed out at last minute. I want to go to one of my therapy sessions dressed as myself, but never do.
Long ago when I wrote and published some stories on this site it was less active. You were doing pretty good with 100 Kudos and 150 was an amazing story. Times have changed. Now it is much more common to see a story with over 200 Kudos.
Today I visited the My Stories page and saw one of my stories had reached 200 Kudos. I was shocked, but happy about the development.
I sit here tonight morning someone I have never known, myself!
I have spent 47 years hiding, suppressing, and ignoring my true self. She is still a child, never given a chance to grow up. I am approaching 50 with the body of someone much older. She shall never have a chance to frolic and play as all children should. I morn the child I never was. I morn my past, my present, and my future. Cindy is not comfortable in the body of an old man, and the man has no idea what to do with the spirit of a little girl.
Every now and them I go to the "My Stories" link and see if there are any new comments on any of my stories. I haven't put out a new story for years, so I don't expect any comments or activity on my stories. Surprisingly there was one new comment on a story. More surprisingly though is that one of my stories have reached over 10,000 views.
I am constantly seeing in news, "Trump in Transition"
There is only one thing that enters my mind when I hear this. Over and over I am being reminded about these thoughts. How far along is his transition. Is he transitioning from Female to Male? Maybe he is at the beginning of the process, and is a Male to Female individual who is Transgendered. Is he going to transition openly while in office?
Our new President-Elect, with a vice-president who is severely anti-LGBTQ, is in Transition.
Getting a story out onto paper (or into a computer) is easy at times, and more difficult at other times. Regardless of ones efforts, editing must be done before it is shared with the world.
I have been working on a book (a memoir) for four years now. I think I am done, but I now need to do some editing. Not my best skill with my own writing. It also takes a lot on a 101,000 word book.
Passive Verb Tense: This is one of my biggest issues. I have had this problem for years. There are places that you want it, but I have found I use it way too much.
I need to share a story with someone using an i-Pad. The story was written in MS Word 2010. I know i-Pads can handle PDF format, but is there a better way for me to send the story?
I started reading an old K.T. Leone story, The Adoption of Little Orphan Danny. In the 3rd chapter there is a reference to an old Little Katie story, "The Boy who Wanted to be a Girl."
