I nearly gave up on posting tonight having spent an hour or so trying to get on site. Still my readers, though perhaps not as numerous as some authors have, are important to me, so I tried one last time...

It appears I now have 150,000 kudos, as I'm not allowed to give them to myself, then they must be given by others. My thanks to all who have clicked on the little button at the end of my story postings. Thank you x 150,000, please continue clicking on them, it's the only way I know readers like my stuff, unless they choose to comment as well.

Hugs to all,

There is a really horrible report in todays' Times of India.
The title is

'Boy made Transgender, court books 13'.

I was sending an email from and for some reason it made me input a Capycha. I'm wondering what yahoo is trying to insult me or something. LOL

So it's been a week since I posted about my weight problem and I said i would post each week to keep myself accountable.

So.... The Good:
It has been 11 days since I ate any fast food.

Right now we thought we would have our new servers installed and operating, ready to move BC over to them by, perhaps, Friday. Ain't going to happen.

Is there any chance of creating some older jewel boxes? I'm sure there are lots of stories that people would enjoy if they knew they were there!!

Today all the stories I look up have VERY IRRITATING pop-up links all over the place and it is not pleasing.
Do I get rid of them or is a new 'feature' .... which I hate already.

And believe it or not, from a comedy website. Cracked.

It's been a long time since I remember seeing his name on site or a comment on anyone's story. Is he okay?

Ever have one of those days where you just want to slam your head into the wall? The past few weeks I've been running around trying to find another job since Home Depot fired me over injuring myself in an incident I could not avoid. when the incident happened I informed a manager as soon as I realized something was wrong and 4 days later I was fired. that was nearly a month ago.

No good deed goes unpunished as they say.

So, I put up chapter #98 and almost immediately decide that I have made a mistake. Unfortunately, I had a trip to the US to organize, and my readers have already supplied many comments... enter the rewrite from chaos.

Let me make this clear. I know some Aspergers folk and the one's I know are good people, and friends of mine.

Hi all,

I have noticed a little confusion with Penny's latest offering.

Penny has been away recently and slightly rushed out episode #98 just before she left.

Yep, I'm going to go on a rant. I read where people join this site and are afraid someone will out them for actualy reading TG stories. OMG, you've got to be kidding. It's like every one you know goes right to Bigcloset and looks to see if someone they know is on the site, give me a break. In the first place, who gives a crap what you read and secondly this site is so way beyond being noticed that your friends could care less what you read. I know I'm being a jerk, but if I cared about what others thought I wouldn't be here in the first place.

My sister sent this to me. It hits some very important points by a very successful writer. Stephen King's Top 20 Rules for Writers

I dreamed the other night, for the second time in my life that I was pregnant, although I think I was still mostly male (I'm not sure what I was wearing, although I think it was a dress, and no idea what my genitalia were like) and I think had no breasts. I was frantically looking for a particular woman I wanted to ask for advice (why this particular woman I don't know irl and not any other woman who had been pregnant, I don't know - bizarrely, I pictured her naked - an attractive, curvy black woman).

Enjoy your favorite Disney Heroes as they should be.

Well, I made my boss giggle last night.

We were in the bedding aisle, and she pointed to a set of zebra-print bedding and made a "ohhh" sound.

...just how lucky I am...

"April Schooled!" has now had all it's spacing restored so it should be a lot easier to read. Sorry about that! (One day soon I will figure out how to keep italics when posting on here and then the world is mine! Nye he hehe!) Hugs, Polly

You just got to love life don't you?

I went a little hog-wild whilst writing my latest work, Battle for Earth and in addition to the usual cover images I went a bit further and created 16 character portraits to accompany the story. These aren't something that I've hand-drawn, but rather composite photos which have been extensively edited to create unique images that resemble cut out portraits. Some of them, particularly the ones I made of Duvak, Vakrexid, and Velspatt (the alien characters) were quite difficult to produce, but some of the others took less than an hour each to produce.

On March 8th, 2014 Flight MH 370/CZ748, disappeared over Gulf of Thailand. To this day, there has been no sign of the plane or any leads apart from the recent China weather satellite photos of 3 'debris', which the Malaysian spotters claimed to be missing from the coordinates given. Speculations as well as conspiracy theories run unchecked among Malaysian citizens.

Hey folks just a quick word of apology. I was hoping to have the regular chapter of Twice Removed done on Monday and work well underway for the new chapter of Alex in Wonderland and Copycat's story in the Hyperverse. Sadly I've been stuck in bed sick since Sunday and it's taking me a while to feel up to moving, let alone writing or even thinking creatively. I do have the new chapter of Syryn's Song half finished but alas it too will have to wait until I'm feeling better. I don't want to try to right anything while I'm sick and do a half-assed job at it, my readers deserve better than that.

This blog is meant for odd thoughts and short rambles on a single character: Wilhelmina Atwell, the aftermath(of a sort :))of William Zane's temporal intervention in my story: Embers Dying, Spark The Flame http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/28624/embers-dying-spa.... It's designed to help further her sadly neglected history, and generate a more cohesive over-view. This is my indulgence in exploring what happens after the Happy Ever After.
Entries will come as topics of interest pertaining to Embers, then and now, present themselves.

Hope you enjoy it.

Had a funny moment yesterday getting an oil change for my car. I was waiting in the lounge when a guy came in with a clipboard containing paperwork and a set of keys. He saw me, and continued to look around the lounge, and realizing I was the only one there he looked rather confused.

Finally, I said to him, "Is that for my car?" He looked at me, looked at his sheet and asked tentatively "T...Todd?" I smiled and nodded and he gave me the keys.

It seems clear to me that he saw me as a woman to the point he couldn't believe my male name belongs to me.

Hi everyone,

I just posted a new story, then immediately went back to see why it's listed as a series, then when I hit the "save" from the edit window, it seems to have posted again.

Hmmm i must of missed a memo or something some of my old seaches i saved to favorites for certain story types come up with Access denied dont have permission to view that page ? has search function been totaly removed ? as i dont see the search box on main page anymore either wich made it lot easier to find the newer stories of fan fic's like whately or bikini beach just to name a few when they go more then a day or so between stories and some reason miss checking the one day they did post lol . maybe im just spoiled or rambling lol

I was re-reading "Belle of the Ball" and when it got to the chapter where Belle's dad recounts being treated as if he was a trans girl when he was a kid, and all of a sudden, I started weeping.

Gaby Book 6 - Girls, Girls, Girl? should be available for your Kindle by tomorrow! If you are interested like which I know most of you aren't but for those that are I've uploaded it this afternoon - so there!

While reading articles on the games industry (as I have a tendency to do,) I came across a recommendation for a game exploring non-gender-conformist behavior and feelings.

I have just finished my latest story and it will be my last. Right now it is on the way to the editor and I have to wait for a cover to be made. Like usual, I will publish on Kindle, etc. and then post the story here. Then I will take my leave and try to find other pursuits to occupy my time.

Just in time for both St. Patrick’s Day and the Centennial commemoration of the First World War. ‘Caitlin’ is the story of a young Irish officer caught up in two wars, one being waged against the Central Powers and a second, very personal one as he struggles to come to terms with who he is amid the chaos of world war and the rise of Irish independence.

Holly was my friend, and my editor.

Some random thoughts:

Hwaet, We Gaerdaegum in Gaerdanum...

It has been a while since I've updated my blog. The second operation, which was supposed to repair the first operation, went much worse than my first. The doctor has literally ripped me new asshole. He tore two holes through the thin section between the rectum and vagina. For about a month some of my poots were coming out my vagina, which was not good. I was prescribed industrial strength antibiotics the day after surgery and did frequent follow ups. Looks like I'm through that part OK. Needless to say, it hurt (still does a bit).

Bad girl converts several men into girls - our hero(ine) manages to break the cycle; she gets engaged to a chef friend; at the end she is changed back to a man as a sacrifice but her guardian angel banishes the devil and she survives.

This is a serious question, needing serious reply. this post is to ask about our friends, who frequently make us question our sanity and skill.

The television is saying, "Without a doubt, there is a boom in crossdressing...."

In the UK, this is designated as "World Book Day"

Nearly everywhere else, that is on April 23rd.

However, since I am in the UK at the moment, it only seems fair to celebrate whilst I'm here.

I've been fully living as a woman a little over 9 years, but I know other girls here who have been at it for 15 or 20 or more years. Interestingly, if we aren't too self destructive, it is said that T girls live longer owing to the absence of Testosterone. I hope to see that played out in some of you.

Those who know me see me as this tough lady who is blunt but loving. A couple people that know me seem to want to take care of me and protect me, and I actually do enjoy and am thankful for someone caring about me.

this is only a test

Whoo, what a slog this has been so far! Nevertheless, I'm only about 10 pages away from finishing Part 1 of the revamped "Oh, Cheers," or "Phoenix Soars!" as it will be called in its final Kindle release.

What started out as a 42k 3 part story is already at 33k so far, and diverging greatly from the source material. I'm literally at a point where, for parts 2 and 3, I'll be going through and making notes of a few key parts I want to keep, but for the most part both parts (as opposed to my initial plan for just part 3) will be almost entirely new material.

I wrote some years ago of a film called "I Want What I Want", and referred to it in 'Sweat and Tears'. Robi was good enough to send me a link to the book, but the film was lost. It has now been reissued having been transferred from tape to DVD. A dated film, but very much a part of my youth.
