Sometimes it's fun to think of something totally inconsequential, when thinking of other things is too painful.

I have posted a complete novella, Simoné and the Final Solution. It's too agonizing to post stories of this length in parts and get little response. I entered it in the Beholden of the Heart contest; however, I'm not sure it meets the criteria as the instructions seem to have disappeared. If it does not meet the criteria, I will withdraw it from the contest.

A new release from Katie Leone. This is her first adult romance novel and it is as hot as the engine of a stock car in june after 50 laps at Daytona. There is adult content, so be warned. Take a look though and leave a review after you cool down.

This is difficult. I don't know why to say. I have tears running down my cheeks and I don't know why but I don't care. So why am I posing. Not to ask for help although I feel desperate for it I don't need it. Let me tell you a true story although the typing may be bad, I really can't see the screen very well for tears. I think I will appear ver confused which may be true but that's aright (lol).

Yup, you can now get another dose of Nena to read on your Kindle!

I ran across this a few days ago and have been eagerly reading it, so figured I'd recommend it here too:

So, I'm ready to publish again (and soon post here on Big Closet). The new book is a departure. It is an adult romance with bonus erotic ending. But, like usual, I am torn on what cover to go with. I do have my favorite, but I want to hear from others. Pick from below.

I've fallen a couple times recently and today the pain is so bad...so bad. Hot pads ice packs vicoden, hot baths and Spem in Alium will eventually make it stop.

Okay. I'd really really like some feedback on the following ideas, please! :)

I had a cousin post this to me wanted to share another small step for LGBT

Hey folks,

Well, I am excited and nervous about today.

Why, you ask? Because today is "Barbie" day - I got invited to come over to my pastor's house for a makeover.

I'm working on a project, and will carry through on it all on my own if necessary.

Hi as some of you may know, I recently published For The Fairest on kindle and if some of you have taken a look, you'd see that the cover of it has left a lot to be desired. So if you're an artist and liked to take a crack at drawing me a cool cover for it, I'd appreciate it greatly. PM me for more details if you're interested :)

Thanks,

Well folks, I have a question for the panel, and the panel is you guys:

I've started to see a Cloudflare CAPTCHA when I post.

1) It doesn't say why.
2) It's annoyingly HUGE.
3) It demands on the preview, then demands again on the post.

I have a question for you all. and you may not have known her, but my mom was....someone I really idolized for her strength and tenacity. and there are many times I wanted to be like her.

The actor plays a transsexual afflicted with AIDS in the Dallas Buyer's Club and who uses 'total immersion' in his characters as his method of acting. It's suggested he's the front runner for an Oscar for best supporting actor.

When I went to my account page my kudos hoard appears to have disappeared. Is this from the recent work on the hard drive or do we have a kudos thief on the site?

This reflects some of what is right and so wrong with our society: http://www.buzzfeed.com/skarlan/this-92-year-old-trans-wwii-...

Had an interesting conversation recently on the subject of the role of women in comics and comic-book movies, and here is my opinion.

We're still short of our goal for January right now, after the expense of replacing a drive, renewing domain names, my own dental bill of $900 and my sending some funds to Piper to help with medical bills. If you can, please contribute toward our goal

Sorry, life has prevented me doing Bike tonight, had a long phone call from my needy friend which sort of used up my evening, which on top of a 12 hour day has sort of left no energy for scribbles.

I have failed, failed at writing( I haven't been able to write a word since I lost the ability to buy meds). I look at my kudos and see less then three hundred of them. I think I was deluding myself into believing I had some talent for writing. Yet another failure in my life. I fail to break out of my current prison, I fail to find work(averaging 3-10 applications and resume submissions a day).

Been about a month, thankfully no incidents have happened again.

When I started this whole Hyperverse thing with Naughty or Ice in December I wasn't too sure how well it was going to be received. I thought that my crazy overactive imagination was lying to me when it insisted that posting that first story was a good idea. The response was amazing so I followed it up just over two weeks ago with Glitch! and then with the first chapter of Syryn's Song and A Star is Born.

Yay!

I released But, I'm not a boy two days ago and I already got results. As it sits now, I have the number 1 book in my genre in england.

Got my 2nd shot of Cortozone today, and I guess that's it. The doc said I could get one more, but if this one doesn't do the trick, I may have no choice but to either live with this thing on my foot or see about surgery.

Meanwhile, I had a tough night of struggling with God, so please forgive me if I'm not my bright-eyed self ...

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to apologize for how long it's taking me to get some things like Search back up and running.

I know people have been interested in this and waiting for the rest of the artwork. The children's book "But, I'm not a boy" is alive and kicking.

I need your help. I have written my first story and I want to post the first chapter but I am nervous as a cat in a roomful of rocking chairs. I hope some of you writers that have done this can offer me a little help. My questions are simplistic I know but I want at least it to be submitted correctly.

This blog entry and the fiction entry shares some similarities. One is this area called Body where I'm writing this and where I assume I use to introduce the story. Is it also where I credit my editor? It is fanfiction for Whateley; is this also where I include disclaimers?

Having just returned from Genetic counseling there were surprises.According to the Doctors there, a karyotype is no longer exclusively used to determine gender. She said there are at least two other factors that determine that. Androgen sensitivity is one and the other is very costly to isolate. For DES folk, she acknowledged that and said that there are many other substances beside that which cause birth defects.

I do believe that sometime in the past 48 hours I encountered a piece as both story and blog, that seemed pretty heavy handedly proselytizing some religion. Of course, I noted that and just skipped it.
I thought today to look at it again in case I was being a bit too judgemental and it seems to be gone. Did I imagine it in the throes of BCTS withdrawls or what?

As far as we can tell the list of stories that were missing after the maintenance were as follows.

A Notional Treason, a 42,000 word novel in the same setting as Wine Can't be Pressed into Grapes and When Wasps Make Honey, is now available from Smashwords in EPUB format, from Barnes and Noble for the Nook, and from Amazon in Kindle format.

I wrote 'Sweat and Tears' to raise two issues. One of them was an attack on the 'forced fem' trope, which Dorothy has slapped down with her short-short. The other was as a condemnation of the abuse that has gone on for so long in care homes and places for young offenders.

Today, the BBC put this up:

Boys lying at the foot of a flight of stairs asking other boys to jump on their legs, hoping that breaking one would get them moved away.

Unfortunately, we lost most of a day in a corrupted back up. This new drive should enable us to serve the site faster for a time, so enjoy.

So yesterday, when we were stuck waiting on the data-center to do their share of things, I finished the initial installation of a NEW feature for TGFiction dot Net.

Some of you may have noticed mention of it in the StoryPortal Fiction Network blogs, but in case you didn't.... You can now upload Microsoft Office Open XML Format (.docx) files and have them auto-converted to HTML.

Thanks for all your hard work over the past day(s) getting the server moved to a new hard drive and back up for everyone to enjoy

I recently posted one of my stories (The Human Cuckoo - Book One) from a trilogy I have published on Kindle, partly as a teaser. The story is complete and standalone.

Since I do not intend to publish the other two stories from the trilogy, I marked it complete and a solo. However, it keeps getting reclassified as a series, which it is not, and I suspect some software is seeing the Book One and automatically assuming there are going to be other books.

Is there any way of preventing this?

I only put the "Caution" sign up for this chapter because it was quite draining for me to write, but I do not know how it will affect others. This project is not going to be the 100 or so pages I had thought for the simple reason, I will die if I keep dwelling on this story. I will post Chapter 2 in a few minutes

It is not as detailed as I thought it would be for the same reason. I apologize for the long delay between Chapters. Chapter 3, the final installment should be posted by the end of next week and that will be the end of this awful business.

Well it's been six weeks since I pulled the ligaments in my ankle and I decided to try to go back to dance class today to see how it would go. My ankle twinged a few times but I was careful to take breaks if I thought I was overdoing it and I was really happy that I had no issues doing a new dance we were learning to the music of Frank Sinatra's "It Had to Be You". The dance called for a lot of fancy footwork and I was able to get through it no problem though that was the second dance we did and I took a break immediately after to make sure I wasn't putting too much strain on it.

Okay, I have taken the advice I have been given about my autobiography, and I think its better now. Now, I need someone to go over it and help me fix whatever mistakes are left. Any takers?
