Suhara of Curses by Ruexin, another unfinished serial that really does want completion.

definitely worth the read even unfinished.

Did North Carolina not learn from Indiana when they tried this last year ? The big corporations are already are looking into scaling down their expansion plans .
The next questions are they going to hire people to check your birth certificate when going to the restroom who is going to look up your skirt ? What are they going to do follow you into a stall ? How do you enforce this law ? What are the fines going to be ?

I'm contemplating making God Bless the Child available on the site again. I'm wondering if people would appreciate that or if people have had enough of it and couldn't care one way or another. The story isn't your usual transgender fare and it is a highly emotional and volatile story that will make a lot of people scream and caused at least one site operator to call me a son of a bitch (Erin). I know a lot of people have read it and probably have it saved on their computers so it doesn't matter. I would post it all in one shot.

I found a brilliant youtube video campaign trying to redress to stereotypical imbalance in young (5-7 yo) kids. I think it also address some very important issues.

What are your impressions?

Denise' stroke required surgery to stop the bleeding in her brain. The doctors say that they sealed it, and that there appears to be no additional damage.

Her brother flew out from the West Coast to be with her. He reports that she's doing moderately well. He says her left side was affected. Her speech is affected, as has her vision. However, she seems to be thinking clearly and shows every sign of a good recovery.

Hi everyone, this is one of the stories that I wrote for a story-writing competition. If this is accepted, it may be chosen for full novel adaptation. I greatly appreciate suggestions, comments and for those who can help fix my grammar, I offer my thanks in advance. Please don't remove the original if you wish to edit it, just copy paste under the paragraphs and fix it there.

As for why I'm using Google Drive, it's because GD is not indexed. I don't want them to claim that this has been published before just because the can google it.

I've sold my home of the last 15 years due to economics. I'm moving to a temporary quarters for now will not have access to the internet for an unknown time. You all behave and I'll be back in the near future. Richard

Don't know how many here live in Belgium, let alone work in Brussels or tourists. But I hope everyone is OK??

Well no time for writing this week, as the wife and I took a vacation to Gatlinburg TN. Or what I sometimes call the Redneck Riviera.

I am really happy - I haven't got a clue how it happens that some stories catch the readers' attention and approval and others don't but ......... Anyway, my most recent story is the first to hit 100 kudos apart from my very first story not quite 3 years ago.
And it's only taken 10 days - which puzzles me almost as much.
Thanks everyone who posts a Kudos; triple thanks to everyone who posts a comment and thanks, of course, to every reader.
Best wishes

There is a book by Wholeman that is now on Amazon. I don't know if it is plagiarism. But it is very like Tanks For the Mamaries. If Anybody knows Wholeman contact him.

I guess a title would be Good: Femininity by Felicia Gabriel. I read a good part way before I realized it was familiar.

I was just wondering if someone would consider taking a stab at making a picture of Mercy for my story.

Cant pay you, but I got lots of huggles for anybody who wants to try ...

Just some thoughts on writing and what defines a happy ending.

WARNING: This blog contains spoilers for "The Honeymoon".

Ms Freeman raises some valid points about the current most famous/notorious transgender person.

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/mar/19/caitlyn-...

One query I have about her and one or two other wealthy 'celebrity' gender swappers is have they had SRS as well as all the other surgeries? In which case the real life test/ Harry Benjamin rules don't seem to apply if you're wealthy enough.

I've decided that the upcoming TG Mixed Tape will be that last that I curate. It's been a good run. If you contributed a story to any one of the collections, thank you. If you enjoyed reading our short sorties, thank you too. A readers time, willingly given, is all that we authors can ask for.

As this is an ending of sorts, I would like the content of my final collection as curator to skew more reflective and sentimental. As such, I am looking for stories that address the theme of "Hope".

Hello Everyone,

I am sad to report that one of my favorite authors, Denise Trask, has suffered a stroke. She is known by many nom de plumes. She is Anesidora's Urn when writing Last of the Fey. She is Renae A. Dumas, who took over from T. D. Aldonetti, when writing Duty Calls. And, she is my co-author in a new novella, Terra Infirma.

I am in contact with her brother. He reports that she underwent surgery today. She is now out of surgery and in recovery. The surgeon reports that the surgery went well. However, he can't predict either the extent or the pace of her recovery.

Sorry folks but I am falling asleep while trying to write. Working too many hours again.

Work on Mother's Child is proceeding slowly, unfortunately. I had surgery on my hand last week to stop progressive degeneration of the median nerve. This problem has for some months caused a near total loss of sensation in that hand and (contradictorily) excruciating pain in the thumb and forefinger. It has been getting progressively worse, and the orthopedic surgeon opined that I risked near total loss of use of this hand without the surgery, but this surgery has left me as a one-handed hunt-and-pick typist at best for the time being.

Tomorrow is the last day for submitting your stories for the March contest, so if you haven't done so yet, please do. We're still sitting at only seven entries,with the last one being posted Sunday. At this point I'm honestly tempted to just ask the entrants if they would accept a 3 month sub consolation prize and call this month a bust; we got some great entries from wonderful authors, but the volume of turnout has been pretty lackluster.

ARGH! I can't take it any longer. The Pain! The PAIN!

No Dormouse in two days! Two days, I tell you. How much can a person stand?

It's just too much!

I think I'll throw myself off an anthill! No, not one of those huge African ones. A plain little American ant this that will withstand my huge - by their standards - feet. It will take them at least three minutes to clear the mess I made. But I will still be without my Daily Dormouse.

OH! the Humanity!

Just a little something I stumbled across today...

Hey has anyone heard from jessie Wolff?

It's a conspiracy I say. Although it's a a sad one. Tom Waits Traubert's Blues, Dougie's Loch Lomond, The Dubliners Parting Glass, 99% of the fan fiction I'm reading on AOO, ... *ad's a dozen of so different things* And then I just have to look at the pets ...

L
*and the migraine isn't helping either*
PS Need more 'happy' F/F or at least with an happy ending (grrr all main char. deaths)
PPS still trying to figure out how I'm still functioning, more or less, in school at the moment.

So, a common storyline is that a male does something to upset a female member of the family so they're punished by being feminized and eventually comes to love it. Is there are any stories out here however which change this in some fashion? Maybe the boy becomes a girl but on their own terms or maybe the punishment doesn't work or something else? I"m just looking for something new and different.

Hello, I just want to say thank you all of you, for creating this site. I have a ton of stories in my head, but I am not the best at grammer. In the future,when I do write, I will welcome all comments. Basically, I could use some friends, as I do not have any that truly know me. I am in disguise as a man, in a girls body. I am in a dream state. I want to wake up and smell the roses. I need friends first as I am too much a coward to do make this giant leap alone. This shouldn't have be a personal and/or lonely transition. alone, I may not have the courage.

New authors here can make of this site almost what they choose to make it. The first sites I published on were cranky and one even altered some of my stories such that I almost did not recognize a few. Still they published me and I was grateful. In the 90's I wrote a lot and got chewed out, but improved a lot. The scope of my spelling and grammar errors was legendary.

I am most thankful that even in my early years here, starting around 2005, certain people still massaged my stories and the other day someone told me that I am doing much better than in the beginning.

Well, "testing" seems to be the theme for the day.

I took my ex to get her heart tested (she'll wear this monitor for a day and then hopefully get the results soon).

I also got the results of an X-ray done on my knee, and I have mild damage. That's a better result than I feared.

Same goes for the results of the x-ray I got done because of the fall I had a work - no breaks, just some bruising and strained muscles.

And in April I'll get tested for sleep apnea.

The more you know the better, they say ....

Hiya,

This time I'm going to recommend another K-drama (subtitled) called You're Beautiful. It is about a fictitious k-pop boy band who is getting a new member, however, "Go Mi Nam" is stuck in American and cannot sign the contract. His "twin" sister, played by Park Hye Shin, lives in a convent is convinced by the brother's manager to pose as the brother to sign the paperwork. Ok, you ask why just not fax or email the contract...but then where would the story go? The story doesn't end there but the girl must pretend to be her brother until he returns.

I have to apologize for the original ending I posted To "Shooting The Rapids: An Adventure. It was rushed and the last 1k words or so had some fairly eggregious typos as well as not quite striking the tone I wanted. I've gone over it a bit though I won't make any claims to proper grammar or spelling... or even some aspects of the timelines of stellar evolution.

My week was going great until Saturday morning. Then I managed to slip and fall at work, and since then my neck hurts, my tailbone hurts, I've had trouble concentrating, and I've been very shaky PTSD wise.

I'm going to the hospital to get checked out ...

This is probably a really stupid question...I just posted a story that was intended as a solo, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to mark it as such. Is there some big giant red button SOLO button somewhere that I am just conveniently not seeing?

I am sorry to say that there will not be a new posting of Super soldier tonight. Things have gotten heated up at work causing less time for writing therefore taking me more time to complete the story. But not to worry the story has been plotted and will continue, just not at the rate that I would like. Part 6 is in the works and I will post it as soon as it is ready :)

"Teens These Days Are Queer AF, New Study Says"

Intriguing?
~Hypatia >i< ..:::

I curious about the spelling of a few terms that seem to be appearing in a few stories I have been reading.

shutter instead of shudder - "I shuddered at the creepy story"rather than "I shutter at that creepy story"
and the other one

"to do with" - some people writing "to due with."

Am I old fashioned?

I am curious on others thoughts

So... I've received a number of inquiries about my next story... Most of my responses thus far have been that I was working on a superhero story titled Pyren's redemption, but sometimes plans change. I still intend to write Pyren's redemption and will probably work on it on the side, but the requests for sequels to Battle for Earth did not go unnoticed. I've been intending to write a sequel all along, but I generally like to take a break from a series after I finish it. This time around, I really, really, really wanted to start work on the sequel. So...

If you've wondered about female characters in fairy tales, or read Nancy Drew--or just the development of gender roles in literature, here are two articles for those interested in female/feminine arche/stereotypes (whew!):

I've recently been kind of engrossed with the whole idea of gender fluidity and a non binary definition of gender. I guess I've been thinking about these things my whole life, but only recently really started reading and thinking more seriously. The political season has lots of people all fired up and the supreme court case on gay marriage has got issues of "queerness" on peoples minds. I think something that really got me thinking about issues of gender was an argument I got in at work awhile back, this was last year when Caitlyn was in the news everyday.

This is just a quick reminder for everyone that the final day to submit stories for the March "On An Adventure!" contest is this Saturday, March 12th, so if you are interested in taking a shot please do so!

We've had some really great entries so far, but response has been a lot less than it was to last month's contest. Remember, 10k words is the CAP, but that doesn't mean your story has to be that many words; your story can be as short as you want, from fifteen to fifteen hundred, all the way up to the limit.

Here's looking forward to everyone's ideas!

Marvel's Loki Laufeyson has become a Godly Ranma Saotome.

By Paul Cousins.

I got to thinking about this, and the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

Ranma 1/2 is a series about a teenage marital artist that changed gender with hot and cold water. Hot for boy, cold for girl. Whom was born a boy, has many wacky adventures, and whom has suitors of both genders. It is a very funny series.

Well, step 2 is done so I phoned the service that actually is going the pay my pension. Got at least 2 to 3 months before they'll finish the paperwork. which means no income for March, April and probably May with the possibility of even longer. Lucky I got some savings but it's coming close to forcing my hand ...

So that's 3A. 3B is getting my name published again in the 'Belgische Staatsblad' (no clue for the englisch translation)with me being retired from the Civil Service, but I'm told that's only a formality

Still don't know the exact amount I'll be getting in hand :(.

Penny Lane asked what BC readers thought Garia would bring back from Earth. In response, I created a list of ten (10) movies that I would bring back if I were Garia. One of these movies was the Agony and the Esctacy (1965 staring Charlton Heston and Rex Harrison).

This movie was shown tonight (07 Mar 16) on TCM (Turner Classic Movies). After watching this movie tonight, I feel that I was correct in including this movie among the ten (10) movies that I would bring back if I were Garia.

Apparently, I was so ditsy yesterday, I forgot to give details on being called a heroine on Saturday night.

See, what happened was I ended up having to help stock the store, and I got so much done my boss was super impressed and used the term.

Sorry for the confusion.

The first chapter of my upcoming story is nearing completion. I'm about 3/4 of the way done then all that's left is proofreading and it'll be posted :) . I'm really getting into writing this story and I hope you guys will enjoy it. Thanks to Waif for helping me with finding a title for the story(That's my one weakness, Titles).

I love writing and reading the works I find on this site. I really love to read fiction that is appropriate for young adult audiences. There are tons of trashy stories that children can, and do access on the internet. I truly feel that these young readers (I teach in a middle school) need a resource like this for two main reasons. First is the positive outlook that is gained from seeing a character that they can identify with overcoming obstacles. Second is the ability to gain some semblance of affinity for people from other cultures, genders, ethnicities, and sexual identities.

Hey y'all! I'm new on this website, and was hoping for some suggestions on authors or stories to check out! If you could help that'd be great!

Andrew O'Neill is an 'alternative' comedian in the UK. He has a two part comedy slot on BBC Radio 4 at 11:00 pm which started on Tuesday and concludes next Tuesday at the same time. The subject of the first week was on his gender identity, the second will be on sexuality.

Thinking about a story bit that's been on the back burner for a long time. But I realized that it might be a good idea to have some real world info.

Anybody know what the legal status of kids and their parents is when the parents kick the kids out for being gay or trans?

Especially interested in Oregon & Washington, but info on nearby states would be of possible use as well.

Some of the things I'm wondering about are:

Can the parents be forced to take the kids back? (strikes me as a *really* bad idea, but the courts and legislatures get weird at times)

Doing a prep for my next appointment with my psychiatrist (probably going to reschedule the one for April 11th to an earlier date). Thinking about the future and words I associate with different paths.

And here I'm thinking I'm being me again a..k.a. weird due to the words I'm getting. OK maybe I'm too prideful ... *sigh* and I don't like me when I'm thinking about some things.
