Hey folks. Remember when you were all like, hey Krunch, what gives? When are you gonna finish Being Christina Chase?

one of the primary characters in tonight's episode at 10 est. is supposed to be transgender

In most Shamanic traditions, a religious belief system that pre-dates all the mainstream religions, and appears to be almost universal amongst the peoples from whom most modern cultures drew their inspiration, so might be seen as the authentic root from which all later variations of religious belief sprouted, gender expression is seen as a special power bestowed by the higher powers, and some degree of transsexuality and/or transvestism was and is essential to the role of spiritual advisor to the community, because of course the spiritually-limited, those who weren't able to incorporate the

I'm feeling very paranoid today because of something my mother said this morning. I was about to tell her something amazing that I had found out last night. I said, ''You'll never guess what I found out last night!'' and she replied, ''That you are really a boy?'' with a slight smile. That got me worried. It's probably nothing but it's just the way she said it that made me paranoid. It was as if she knew something. Bleagh. I hope she doesn't.

I am a Christian.

Before anything else, that is how I identify myself and that is the core of my being.

a few years ago i was readed a story about a boy who was in the wildness looking for things to pick up and sell something happen to him he ending up changed to a female cant remeber the name of the story if someone could help out it be a great help thank you

'Apologies for not posting today but I got stuck in North Wales in various traffic holdups and didn't get home in time to post. I'll sort it as soon as I can get to the back up computer in the next few days.'

Mads.

With only ten more episodes to go to the 2000 I feel it incumbent upon me to ask the readers if they want me to continue this saga for a bit longer, assuming the indulgence of Erin and her pixies, in supporting the proposition.

Please let me know what you'd like me to do.

Managed to get that chapter done and posted. Took a lot longer than it should of, but health concerns are a pain in the tuckus and hold up many a project. So hopefully I can get back to juggling stories and get caught up on things. We'll see. Just letting you all know that I'm gonna try but I have a new Tegan book taking up my time as is Written In The Body. I will be doing what I can until those are out and done. Just a heads up, but things should be better now, as I am feeling a good bit better and can write more. Enjoy.

I’m saddened by how few people know the writing of Zenna Henderson. Her books and stories were a combination of non-technical sci-fi, psychic powers like magic, deep spirituality and strong emotional resonance. Although she did not write TG fiction, she wrote often of what it feels like to be the outsider, to be miserably alone and then to find a community of people like yourself. For that reason she may be of interest to BCTS readers.

Last year, I came across a book about what makes a hero a hero, and a villain a villain, and what the differences really are. Ok, I lost the link to the book and was wondering if anyone here has, perchance, seen it? Basically, who is the greater good person, the hero that accidentally floods the valley and lets a few innocents die, or the villain who saves the people but makes the hard decisions on who to save? Call thenm the arrogant hero and the tragic villain. There are so many writers here, there must be an answer somewhere, just need to keep looking :P
Thanks!

It is finished. Well, almost finished. I summed up my arguments against trans-sexuality being a sin. Now I want to give an accurate description of your average transsexual because I think society at large doesn't have a clue. I should be done the end of this week and need to edit. Then I need a strong marketing push.

Please, please, please, put away 2.99 for you to buy this the day it comes out and tell others to do the same. I think it is in all our bests interest if this makes the top 10 apologetic list on Amazon.

Well, last night, we had Easter dinner with the family, and my sister-in-law said some interesting things. First, she basically put aside the work I've been doing trying to recover the memories of my rape and its association to my gender issues, saying such memories have been added to and subtracted from over the years to the point they are not reliable.

The following arrival appeared in yesterdays newspaper. May be of interest.

I usually don't make my life's frustrations public, but sometimes it just feels like the world is working against you. To add to my growing depression and frustration at my inablility to do any writing lately (I have at least 5 projects in various stages of being written, but last night my computer's main hard drive had a catastrophic failure. I had just cleared the secondary drive to move stuff there to free up space, but it was late and "I could do it tomorrow." The loss is immeasurable and among the causalties were the "source" files of several stories.

Well, with all the confusion I had at my house yesterday, I forgot to mention it was Tels' birthday, So Happy birthday, sis!

just seem to be multiplying!

Sorry folks, got watching part 1 of Labyrinth by Kate Mosse and the night just disappeared. Part 2 is tomorrow but I shall try to do Bike early or late. I have an early bike ride tomorrow and the clocks go forward overnight, so that's an hour off my beauty sleep - and believe me I need all the help I can get in the beauty department.

So apologies to my regular readers, will try to do better tomorrow.

It appears that she just *might* communicate with actual pixies for her stories about them. Before anyone goes thinking I'm talking out of the wrong end of my body here, I do have something that almost looks kind of like proof. And that, friends, would be located here.

The moral of the story, as the one person's daughter found out:

If you find a tree with a tiny door in the base of it, leave some candy out for the occupants. ^^

Had one of those stressful days. Dealing with Kaiser over meds and it's only a fraction of what's coming under Obama care, fighting with a supplier as to why my delivery didn't come today even though it was promised and the other delivery where the driver couldn't understand english. Said to myself, I'm going to have a drink even though I haven't allowed the devils brew to cross my lips for weeks. Not a good idea, well actually it was but now I can't write for crap.

Two of my stories previously posted here on BCTS are revised, expanded, and available as Kindle books.

Lately, I have been seeing several words on any story I'm reading that appear as "Links". I thought this was a new advertising strategy and have not objected. Well, now it's appearing on other sites and one user has suggested that I have a "bot" or something. So are the rest of you seeing this or its it strictly my issue.

Or maybe perspiration, anyway...

Ok, I find myself needing help here.

I'm stunned. I the last week, I've gone from a bit over 1000 kudos to over 1400.

Yeah, I posted 5 stories/chapters, but even so. That first thousand took years.

Still seems unreal though.

so im a bit neurotic and never had the courage to do so before but ive found a very supporting friend. Well she been helping push my comfort zone. Ive decided to try dressing in private and was wondering if there was a really good online store to find breast forms and the such.Tried amazon and they were like here ya go have double ds

Just so you are all in the picture i thought i'd let you know the current state of play.

I have a transman in Buffalo who is at his wits end. He is a friend and has been run around by Social Services and every other agency he's tried to go to for help. I need a therapist who can help. You can PM me here at Top Shelf. He has no insurance and barely enough money to get by each month... barely.

This is someone I've known since his birth, the child of one of my best friends who can't help either because he's in Japan and struggling to get by there.

Please, I am begging. Someone point me to someone who can help.

Does anyone here play GW2, if so, Darkkitten, Zoe, Piper and I are trying to start a guild.

So, I love to write, but you all knew that. Some stuff I write seems to go over well. Some fails to go over at all.

That's life though.

Things are going really well and I am still plugging away at my academic/religious work "The Transsexual at the Cross: Disproving the myth that transsexuality is wrong" It isn't that long, but very intense on research and logic, therefore also very draining. I have to decide a lot of important factors.

Well I have finally gotten the next chapter of 'A Boy and His Dog' done. It only took me two months. Bet y'all thought I had given up, didn't ya?

I just posted my first story here last week, and figured it would be nice to introduce myself. I've been lurking here for a few years, and enjoying some truly excellent stories - thank you all very much. I'd recently changed jobs, and the new position is much less demanding than what I'd done previously (pays more, though ;) The upshot of which is that I've been getting bored, so decided to try my hand at writing, thus my first story.

It's going to take a few days to get back on line.

Well, after church today, I was invited out for coffee with the pastor and a couple of the members of the church, and I got a chance to show them my poetry, and read to them "Dear God", and "A Psalm of Dorothy"

They were blown away.

A couple of them actually teared up.

They asked, begged, for me to send them links so they can have permanent copies, and to pass them on to some places they think would be interested in them.

Pretty neat, yes?

I wrote a children's book. It's posted. But I want to create a real children's book and an ebook version. The comments have been supportive (if not teary eyed).

Sadly the challenges some of our community face alone are occasionally too much.

Many of you know Loki, my fellow writer in the Darkrealms Universe. Well the two of us have been having some discussions on a possible story idea for my Greylands Universe that Loki would like write. With that in mind I have decided to open up the Greylands Universe to other writers and I am very happy to have Loki as the first author to join me in my own little playground. So hopefully you will all soon see what Loki has to add to the Greylands. From what we've been discussing it should be a lot of fun ;)
