An article in this week's New Scientist gives details of an experiment where a person 'inhabits' another's body. Fascinating stuff, but, as you can see from the video, still a long way to go.

I was reading an article about "motion-capture" in regards to the newest Planet of the Apes movie, and as a throw-away comment, they mentioned that an actor could play "any creature, any race, and either sex".

That got me thinking, what would happen if an actor played a female role via motion capture?

It sure sounds like the sort of thing our writers here could have some fun with, so lets make it a challenge - can you make a story where a guy plays a girl using this tech?

I'll be interested to see if anybody tries this challenge ...

I just finished chapter 16 of her story "do it right or don't do it at all" and was trying to send a message to her here on BC... I typed her name into the recipient part and was told... Enter a whatever it said... I double checked the spelling and got the same "not gonna happen stupid" note.

Where is she and does anyone know if she ever wrote any more chapters to this story.

Woah! It's been just over a year since I made my last entry. I'm back to writing TG fiction (kind of). I posted the final episode of Charlie Volume One a couple weeks back. It was waaaaaay over due, a year in fact, so I sincerely apologise to those who were waiting for the conclusion. Thank you for the emails and such. It's nice to know some still care about my writing. I'd be lying if I said I was currently writing Volume 2 but I've literally only written a couple sentences. There's a wall in the way.

Erin and I would like to have a picnic. So....

We're Having a Picnic. Attend in femme or in drab, come as you are!

So I am still writing the biography. It feels as if I'm back in school in the sense that I'm not drawing off my own imagination and controlling things. This feels less like writing and more like wordsmithing. I have most of the information in front of me and I just have to decide how to present it.

No new chapter on BC this week although there is one on maddybell.com. Big news is that there is a new Gaby volume available on both Lulu and Kindle, Gaby Futures includes the previously limited release Gabymas episode along with a brand new Tour de France themed episode. Both are set some years into Gaby's future, there's no guarantee this is how things will pan out, they are both just possibilities.

So if you fancy a read, take a look!

Interesting thread on the Guardian’s ‘Comment Is Free’ site today.

Well, just found out why I have been feeling so awful for a couple years. I have a type of Diabetes that does not respond to Insulin.

I'm starting to plot out the sequel to Unreachable and I've come up with a major snag and I haven't even written word one yet. See, Unreachable and the Christmas story are both written in the first person. Now I have this sequel, which is going to be even more complex, and am wondering if I "HAVE TO" stay with first person because it fits the series. Should I swap to third because it would help tell a more complete story. Can I swap back and forth between chapters when I need to show action outside of Ms. Rosenthal? Thanks for the help.

I am sorry to those who read my facebook page, but I am posting this here also.

Discount code FORGIVE10, now through July 9.

I believe this is available through both the US and the UK store. Several authors have pages there besides the Doppler Press/Hatbox page linked below.

The other morning, the 5th of July, I was driving on my paper route and all of a sudden I heard scraping from under my car. At first I thought I ran over a garbage can lid. I got out of my car and some drunk guy starts yelling at me that I ran over his dog. I didn't see the dog then, I didn't even see the dog when I ran over it. I couldn't tell you if it was laying in the middle of the road when I ran over it or if it darted under my car.

If the best days lie ahead, how come I want to go running, screaming back the direction I've come from? Decisions decisions, what to do when you turn Fifty-two! (LOL) loving Hugs to all, Talia aka Popcorn Lady

I am really struggling with inexplicable anger right now. Honestly, I feel like breaking something, throwing something across the room and then stomping on it.

So lastnight we went to a friends house for the 4th. Well some other ppl showed up aswell, they where pretty cool except this one brunette woman who was like 37 with 2 kids wearing the tightest and tiniest skirt I've ever seen, its wasn't flattering. So after a few hours everybody is properly intoxicated (except me). Well she was getting very touchy feely and constantly patting me on the butt and making vulgar refrences. At one point my transition came up since we where practialy with family..

Plans were changed not by bad weather but by the rain falling from Crystal's eyes

Sorry to ask such a stupid question but I've never seen this addressed anywhere & it's been buggin me...

Well, she said any more memes would be up to us! So … I couldn't resist!!

All but one have tg themes.

You're all on your own now... This is the last time.

I'm serious. :P You can make your own memes if you want more.

I have two author pages. One that I've personalized a bit, and one that was created on the 1st. How do I delete the 2nd one? It was a nice thought, but I have one...

Once upon a time...,no one had to teach us manners or proper dress. I guess it was because we had a mom and a dad or someone to respect and look up to. Then it became "cool" to rebel against the status quo by dressing down. Along came other things like casual Friday. Remember when all the girls wore flip flops to the White House? Movie stars stopped looking like movie stars and more like fashion wrecks. That included the guys as well as the ladies. The women looked like they bought their clothes at Back Alley Dumpsters R Us, rather than Rodeo Drive.

The BBC has an article on "LGBTTIQQ2SA"

We all know about LGBT but what on earth if TTIQQ2SA for heavens sake?

Firstly there is a real update

When was the last time anybody talked with wanda Cunningham? Around 2009 she just dropped off the site until now and its not even her posting kelly girl, its her publisher. Does anybody know what happened to her?

Argh!

I finished Rumspringa - for better or worse - and now have only the dark, kinda bleak, vaguely cyperpunk morality tale that is Dead Ringer rattling around my head.

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for not writing or blogging. I thought yalls could do with out my constant (insert desired adjective). Well its been almost two years and I still have failed to secure a job, move out of the area I am in and worst of all I failed to live as myself full time. I still feel I am to weak to survive on my own and I have no family or friends that could help me out on this manner. Anyways I was wondering if my last job was blackballing me somehow. I mean I have had a few interviews and after that I hear nothing from the companies I have applied too.

Today, I saw a huge cotton plaid shirt lying on my bed, and it was obvious that it was a garment that belonged to a huge man. Was he the one in my dreams that pinned me to my bed and made me scream with delight?

It is quite nice having a make believe husband, because I can sneakily take his shirt and go out, letting other women believe that I have stolen my husband's garment.

And, when he comes to me in my dreams again, I shall conceal the fact from him that I have his shirt hidden under one of my dresses in the closet.

An article about a rarely mentioned group, transmen.

Now a message from our sponsor.

Today finds me many thousands of miles from my home in Everett Wa and back in my old stomping grounds around Philadelphia Pa. [ note Next installment of [ HS will be late. ]

Well, I am moved beyond words.

At church yesterday, one of the ladies gave me a beautiful jewelry box with a set of earrings in each drawer.

I actually cried ...

I was wondering if anyone knows what, if anything, has happened to Ellen Hayes.
It has been almost 10 months since she last posted anything on her site.

So I found put the name of the book with alot of help from all of you( especially Paula Claudia , Teekabell ) . The name of the book is "Is he a girl?" By Louis sachar. Its a great book and I suggest u read it.

My first time(blog 1)

...with moving. Really tired right now. Spent the day cleaning my old apartment and got the last of everything out. Moving has pretty much eaten all of the time I thought I had for writing. Now I can get back to writing. The unpackening is still ongoing, but that can take time.

I don't want to ever move again.

I'd love to share my new picture with you guys, but I'm not sure the best way. Suggestions?

So, as promised the next chapter of "The Hand We're Dealt" is posted after a long wait... 7 months... I hope all of you enjoy it and leave a remark, I love to hear what yall think. :3

Main Character takes up modelling, and gives it up to go back to school

Most I can remember is

As you can see I just reposted Assassin for your enjoyment, but a word of caution. This story is very long but is well worth the read. Hopefully when you finish reading this novel you will leave a review at Amazon. I do have several, even ones from out of the community, three five stars, yippee. As I stated this won't be up for very long and to be perfectly honest the best way to enjoy the novel is to buy it and read it at your leisure, but the choice is yours. Thank you for your renewed interest, Arecee

Happy Stonewall Day, everyone.

I have a question for our Whateley authors. In the stories, I've seen terms like "Brick" and "exempler" thrown around, and I was wondering if there was a list of these terms and what they mean anywhere?

About six or seven years back I wrote Almost Girl as a self indulgence piece. The story wasn't completed with an ending. Let's just say chapter ten wasn't there. I forgot about it until Cathy asked me about other stories after she posted Jessica Rabbit for me. Searching the computer brought up a bunch of uncompleted stories including Almost Girl. I sent Cathy the incomplete story.

I didn't understand forced fem until a group of TG friends joined Holly Hart and me at our home. Of the nine of us we were all M2F, except two of us. One was a F2M and the other was apparently male. The male liked to cross dress and preferred forced fem. But we weren't going to forcing him or anybody else. The F2M remarked to me he was the only male in the group.

I thought about what he said and realized that our male friend was really more of a transsexual than he admitted to himself. The problem with him is fear.

I know I said I would get some through the years out, but we are having issues with internet connection staying on. It keeps coming and going and unfortunately all of writing is on Google doc, due to issues with open office. The roommate thinks the phone lines may be bad. Either way it makes surfing the net frustrating.

If I can get the darn thing to load and pull stuff to my computer, I will try to finish a chapter quickly.

You might have seen under Kelly Girl the tag "Limited time posting" and wondered what that was all about.

you're gonna have to forgive me if I spend the day crying.

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?
