I was saddened to read that the famous se-change couple Katie Hill and Arin Andrews had parted. It was a wonderful story whilst it lasted of a boy who became a beautiful young woman and a pretty girl who became a handsome young guy. Having said that they are young and it shows how Katie has blossomed and is now very content and living as normal a life in university as other students. I often feel the younger generation is more accepting of situations and I hope Katie finds happiness and future success since she was very brave.

From my UK friends I frequently take the piss about Americans and their bloomin guns. Geeze, I have never shot or killed anyone, and would not enjoy it full stop.

what I'm looking for is anything about a teenage boy who has become a model or in a beauty contest thank you I'm looking for fiction stories

My body scares me, and last night was a great example as to why.

I've been thinking about this for a long time, and maybe its time I shared my thoughts.

Its turning out that my gender is the easiest problem to solve.

The third book in the Gaby saga should be available for kindle by the weekend - as usual search for 'Madeline Bell'

I read a story by Robyn Hoode over on TG Storytime called "Christmas Fairy Queen" which she claims to be not sufficiently good to be posted here. She's wrong and needs to be shown the error of her ways. This is definitely a BC level story. Let's raise a little bit of Cain here ladies,

I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms. I've been without a Daily Dormouse fix for two days. It will be three tomorrow. ARGH!!!

Katherine Jenkins, my favorite singer is doing "Requiem for a Soldier" on the grounds of a huge old castle in Wales. Can you tell me the location, please?

So, as most of you know, I am in the process of moving. This means I dont have any interwebs access save for when I'm in school. Y'all won't be seing much of me for a few weeks until I get moved I to the newplace and get my interwebs back.

I have been reading the Reluctant Girl stories and was thinking about how I use to feel when a story used my childhood name. Especially when the character was so not me.

Just saw an interesting commercial. It was regarding a drug proscribed for several mental conditions like ADD, and apparently it had the side effect of growing breasts on men. Why do I feel like this could be a story here?

Something a friend posted a link to over on LiveJouyrnal.

Had me in tears.

You've got to be taught to hate and fear

This is a video of what the weather has done to Aberystwyth, home of Sarah's university in 'Cold Feet' and 'Sisters'. At the end of the video, you get a look at the hill they go up in the panoramic railway.

Hi all,

Mark of Wis made a suggestion recently and I have caught that ball and run with it.

Due to somewhat underwhelming sales in its first week even by my own meager expectations (2 copies,) I have slashed the price on my Josie's Con book from 1.49 down to .99 americans.

I always thought that Sexual Reassignment Surgery would be out of reach for me because of the cost. Thankfully that problem was solved and I was able to get a majority of the surgery done at no cost at all. Thanks to my job, while delivering the papers last night I froze my balls off. Now, I'm half way there.

Brr.

I'll be here all week.

I've heard of jewelry and bracelets made from human hair before, but I have no actual experience with them. I know they were popular during the 18th (maybe 19th) century, but a lot of people have never even heard of them in these modern times. I don't ever intend to make such a thing or wear one, but I'm thinking of using one in my story. The tale itself is set in a dystopian future Earth where most of humanity has been enslaved by a malevolent race of aliens.

From the New Yorker:

Hey, I just noticed, that In Memoriam entry. What happened to Stanman? When did Stanman pass away?

Not bad for two days. Don't expect it next week, I'm back in work and have to do my accounts for the taxman.

I don't necessarily do New Year resolutions every year, but I found myself looking over my records of my writing in 2013, and thinking about how I could improve, and found myself making a whole passel of writing-related resolutions, some vaguer and more tentative than others.

I did promise that there would be a Gaby Christmas special

I guess I should say happy new year to all.

May everyone have a joyous, happy, new year. May all your dreams come true and may you find the pot of gold at your rainbows end. If you do I will help take care of the angry leprechaun.

The Daily Wail does the usual dirty trick of using irrelevant material in a the tragic story of an astonishing accident, where a large Red Deer stag charged a group of people in a driveway and unfortunately badly injured one of them. A chance in a million. incident.

Meinn gott, I hate moving. Expecially having too pack. Little ol me had to pack my whole room all by myself, lol

I've been going through some of my older unfinished stories and reading them lately. I came across one from Lilith Langtree called 'The Soul Does Not Perish', it's a well written modern day D&D type story. There were 9 chapters of it posted by Lilith and then nothing. I've not seen anything posted by her in a while and was wondering if anyone knew if she was still writing??

So I was looking at some site with strange pictures and came across this:

Well, things aren't looking so hot at the moment. When removing the cathader the doc mentioned a graft not going well (a large graft I migt add). He gave me 5 bottles of metaiodyne to douche with and would not talk to me after. So here I am knowing something has gone badly wrong scared as hell. I have a meeting tomorrow whwhere I might get some answers. The smell from this is unbelievably bad, so I douche.

When I know more I'll post mote.

I feel a bit chagrined. Moe and I postponed our trips home for the holidays (Kyoto and DC) on worry about the weather.

Lots of places in the States DID have really bad weather last week, so we thought that our decision was a good one, but Ma said that it was warm enough in DC the day before Christmas that Dad called it shirt-sleeves weather, and flights to and out of Raegan/National, Baltimore and Dulles weren't in danger of being canceled anytime soon..

Well, color me chagrined.

For more than 40 years my wife and I have been trying to figure out the name of a movie we had seen on late night television in Little Rock in the late 60s.. One of the stations stayed on all night. That was a big thing then. After the last late night show was over, they'd play old movies. This was before we started going together. There was a particular movie that we saw several times. It had a music theme that was built around a piano concerto. It may have been Rachmaninoff or Grieg.

Nina Kiriki Hoffman’s sequence of novels A Red Heart of Memories (1999), Past the Size of Dreaming (2001), and A Stir of Bones (2003) may be of interest to this site’s readers for one major transgendered character, who is onstage in Past the Size of Dreaming and A Stir of Bones and appears in flashbacks in in A Red Heart of Memories. Several other characters are more or less atypical in their gender identity and presentation. Hoffman has also written a number of short stories about the characters from these books, some but not all of which are in her short story collection Permeable Borders.

I'm trying to figure out how the photo of my story ended up on somebody's else's story.

It's just over a year since I first registered with Big Closet. I think it's safe to say that doing so has taught me a lot.

"Before my time"
Best "mind exchange" story ever.
Missing Bear and Bob...

I guess I didn't visit the site as much as I would have liked recently since life has bee getting in the way. I had to face up to new challenges but as tough as they are they are nothing compared to some I read recently here.
I should count my blessings. So I picked up on the Christmas story I started and hope to get back into the swing of things. So many people here support and encouragement and even a nice thought or a wish or just a touch of kindness.

I got my first review for my book up at Kindle, 'Heroes of Justice.' It was mostly positive with the reviewer giving me four stars. Apparently despite all the people who have looked it over, mistakes have still persisted. That's annoying since I think at times I can recite the whole book given how many times I've gone over it.

On a humorous note, the review claims to have bought it accidentally because of Amazon's 'One-Click' Button.

However, one review is better than no review!

in need of prayers for my wife. we went to the doctors last week for her appointment they ran some test on her they call on Wednesday found out that she has kidney renal failure of her left kidney a though years ago she had cancer in the same kidney they took a 1/4 of her kidney nope can't do any chemo on her she has diabetes so it won't work

So I had to go up to walter reed for my endocrinologist appt today. While we where there we decided to chech out the NEX and ended up getting lunch in the NEX food court. Well while I was eating I looked to the table next to me and saw this really hot nerd guy and realized he had google glasses. I was so excited I jumped up and ran over to his table to ask him about them and what hr thought of them. Poor guy almost choked on his food when I ran up to his table practily screamin " OMG, are those google glasses!" He ended up being really cool and let me try them out, it was awesome.

First of all, Merry Christmas to all who want to celebrate that holiday and Happy Holidays to those celebrating some other day and Seasons Greetings to everyone else!

I know that there are some who are concerned about me and really care. As I often do, I will be taking my leave from the site for a while. Unless something major happens or I will the Nobel Prize for transgender literature, I will have nothing much to offer for a while. I am going to be starting on my next story sometime in the beginning of January. I plan on making Growing Up Jenny into a paperback as well after a major overhaul.

Just to give you a heads up of what is planned for 2014:

I hope those who like my bagatelles will enjoy it, the title is a pun look at the title of this blog if you don't get it.

After a brief discussion with Elrod, I decided to re-read "Trick of the Mind" by Maeryn Lamonte.

It is this time of year that makes grumpy old farts like me sit back and remember just what life I all about....Its not about what you did or what you achieved , to me its all about being the kind of person God would like you to be. Those ten commandments were set for a reason. I haven't been an angel about following them and am the first to admit it , But I now want to say this. I am going to try harder in the coming days, those of you I have offended know who you are and I offer the hand of friendship and forgiving to now.
