Briar alerted us to an item on BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour at 1000 BST today, Wednesday 1/7/09 regarding Cher's daughter transitioning to male.

I recently discovered that I still have the assignments that I did for a creative writing class several years ago. I was looking through them and was surprised that I actually liked several of them! I expected them to seem juvenile to me, as I often do with my own work. None of them are TG, but I was wondering if there would be any interest if I posted some of them here?

Please let me know!

Hi everyone,

Well after the success of the Gabycon 2009 Guide i thought it only fair to offer a similar volume for the first poroper Gabycon in 2008.

I find that there are stories that triger a story in me, at times, several. My Kelly's Journey was inspired by yyour basis tg love story, just as Terri's Vengeance is. But King Of the Rim is a combination of Star Wars and Star Trek. But my stories truly write themselves. I get the kernal of an idea from reading a story and taking the basic story idea and changing it to fit my idea. But I find that the story goes its own way after I start on it. Is it the same with you?

Although details are sketchy, it seems that the good officers of Texas have decided to raid a gay bar and arrest some patrons for public intoxication while said patrons were seated at the bar drinking, and on the anniversary of the Stonewall riots.

Doctor Who is a B.B.C. Iconic T.V. series abot a wacky Gallifreyan Time Lord who has adventures through time and space as he travels in his T.A.R.D.I.S. But until now, he hasn't broached the T.G. theme in his adventures. That changed tonight.

Tonight, he met a homan male who was made to believe that he was the Doctor. The Cybermen had attacked Victorian London in pre industrial times to resurrect their fallen empire and Crown their ruler, the Cyber King.

Hello all:

I have just sent Football Girl 14 off to Gabi for her editing magic. Also I have Changes 13 ready to post early tomorrow.

Today my wife and I had to do a hard thing. Our beloved half-Rottie Lab went to sleep for the last time. It broke our hearts but Delta had cancer. She had already survived one operation, but there was nothing anyone could do when it once more came back. Delta was 11 years old and had been with my wife for ten years after the dog had been rescued from a bad home. She was a big dog at near 90 pounds but was really a sweet coward. Almost everything would send her into hiding, although her bark would scare anyone. It was so deep it would rattle the windows.

It seems a day for sad news. Farrah Fawcett has died of cancer at the age of 62. How I loved her in my teen years; of course I didn't want to be with her, I wanted to be her -- but I'm sure there are others here who can sympathize with that. I think Charlie might say something like this; "Spread your wings and fly, Angel, fly! You soar in the heavens now, forever young and beautiful."

I'm staying with my daughter for the next couple of nights, so real life might well get in the way of my art(if you believe that you'll believe anything!). Viz, I might just be too busy to have time to write.

The connection time to the internet has been awful tonight, taking twenty minutes to open BC to post. I haven't yet managed to get to my emails, lost the will to live before they opened. Must be the location, it isn't like this at home.

I'll post again when I can, possibly sunday or monday.

Angharad.

Even if no one is hurt, even if the other car looks like it lost a fight with a brick wall while the only damage to yours is a piece of styrofoam from the other car's front bumper wedged into the rim of your rear wheel.

Especially if you're transitioning (as I am), already 24/7 but some of your documentation shows your new name, some shows your old one, and none shows the correct sex. Hey, I only changed my name legally a week ago.

In the TV show Ukraine's Got Talent, Ursula (Artem Semenov) can sing both the male and female leads for Phantom of the Opera. On Youtube, you can find her/him at vav1980, Toshkaprod and KhristiS.

I've posted a couple of KittyHawk Tails today. One of them has been up for over five hours and isn't getting many hits. Grover mentioned that he was confused by it at first, so I'm guessing people think it's a repost of Raccoon Ruckus that I posted last week.

As much as I know you probably don't really care, I'm gonna go ahead and do another update on where the next part of my stories is.

Just seen this link that might be interesting. I thought that Mrs Doubtfire was a great film.

I was listening to DNR(Derek and Romaine) today and they were talking about this one place they were at during Columbus Pride. They spoke of it having great Ginger Ale, how it was made with fresh Ginger.
I had to call in and comment on how I can definitely feel that. I tried using powdered Ginger in this one recipe TWICE, the second time with more in it and I found it didn't cut it. I mean it just didn't have that snap you'd get with fresh Ginger. Maybe some of you will empathize, having used it before.

'House', a doctor's show , treats a patient suffering fro hronic pain. As y'all know, Sephy suffers frm back pain. Maybe this episode an help us to see how she copes. She is my adopted sister.

I spend a lot of time on this site. I mean, a LOT. One thing I do from time to time is click through the names of active users to check out their profile pages and see what stories they have marked as favorites. I like the idea of going to the page of an author I enjoy and seeing what stories they recommend or are inspired by. Unfortunately, not many people use this feature of the site, one of my favorites.

This is what SaraUK sent me 2 days ago!

Amy was watching the clock slowly tick away the time until she could go to the private hospital that Amber was being taken to. Ann was going to call when they had her settled in to her room, then Vic and Carl were going to drive them all to see her.
“It’ll only make it go even slower you know.” Chrissy said, as she saw Amy looking at the clock again.
“I know Chrissy, but I just want to see Amber again, and tell her how sorry I am for what happened to her.” Amy said, as she lay next to Chrissy on the bed in Mandy’s room.

I've managed to post Bike 678 tonight, however, the link to my dongle is not very good and I can't promise to get online every night. I will post as and when the vagueries of internet connections allow. Yorkshire is colder than Dorset -brrrrrrrr! I'll have to start wearing knickers again!

Whatever Next 23 -my take on the Gabyverse - has gone to Maddy Bell, so should be up in the next week or so.

So, my nickname is Faraway, because I live half the world away from you, of course!

I am 20, I live in Russia, Middle Urals. Please don't send any missiles my way! :)

I have just seen that Changes 9 has had 666 hits. Is that an omen?

Scared Sue

I wanted to let my readers know that I am committed to my stories. I have some breathing room from my day job this coming week, so there should be some progress made on one or both of the stories.

I really shouldn't be posting right now. I'm getting a head cold - at least I hope it's just a cold - and it's ridiculously late, but I've been putting off a "I'm okay" type thing too long.

The news sources in New York City are all reporting a story where a man posed as his own dead mother for six years, wearing a wig and her clothes while living in her rent controlled home,

Now that FM is back in biz and Storysite is posting new stories, have the readers who found BC in the interim flown?

What has happened to the number of hits over the last month?

Jill

Ok, no comments from the peanut gallery on that one!

Got on the bus at 6AM, slept most of the way. Spent a thoroughly awful time getting my breathing tested, blood draw, endo consult, blah, blah, blah. Rained most all day.

Tampax has a fictional blog / video series about a 16-year-old boy who suddenly has "girl parts down there."

Find it here.

The other car wallopred the passenger side door, crumping it in, but good, and shatteriung the glass, too. Well, I was in the passenger seat, and there is a small bruise on my right side. Other than a bit of stiffness, soreness, and painI'm OH. Right now, my right shoulder is a bit tenderand taking aspirin for pain. I am LUCKY! I am near 400lb in weight, 5'4" in height, and except for medicine for high blood pressure, diet,[vitamins] and anxiety, I am trouble free. And am not allergic to stuff.

Well, my mother came into my room a few minites ago and we talked for a little bit. Then she asked me about the panties she found in my laundry.I denied it and suggested that some of her stuff got into mine. She said that she had never worn panties that large. I just brused it off and she just said that she was going to just throw them away. Good thing that I already recued mine and repaced it with a pair of hers. When she asked me if they were mine I thought I was going to be sick. The look on my face had to give me away. God, I feel like such a piece of shit for lying to her.

Well, I see all these other authors hinting about things to come so I thought I would do the same. My current effort, as yet unnamed, is approximately 75-80% complete at 120,000 words.

Homecoming Princess Part 3 will be delayed for posting until tomorrow. I am working with some story issues Sephrena had brought up in the course of proofing that I need to rewrite. With luck, you will be able to see it Tuesday. Arecee

I was going off with my best friend, Walter, when we were hit. We were in the intersection, when the other xar rammed into the passenger side door.

Hey all.

I was wondering if any of you could help me a bit.

I just posted Julie O's newest story on Stardust. Click here to read it. Julie wants me to post it here on BCTS in about a week or so.

I tried to go to bed but my heart is too full and I simply can't.

From Article in People

Political and social activist Chastity Bono — the only child of entertainers Cher and the late Sonny Bono — began undergoing a sex change shortly after her 40th birthday on March 4.

I seem to spend so much time reading these darn stories, that I don't seem to ever read books...they are really piling up!! *sigh*

Huggles

Here it is, folks! The first television advertisement for a unisex dress for men and women!

It's shapeless, ugly, and terrycloth, but hey.

I know everyone else has had more hits, but 'Bike' part 1, has this week achieved over ten thousand hits. Okay, so no one goes on to part two, let alone the other six billion episodes, but it's nice to think at least people have had a look before deciding it's total rubbish.

For those who have read it, thank you: for those who've read them all, I hope you have a good therapist?

Hugs,

From me an' Da Bonz.

My best bike.

You have until June 9, to vote for your favorite May Day story. You can vote for as many stories as you like but you should vote only once per story. The story that has the most votes at midnight, server time, on June 9 will be announced the winner on June 10th.

Less than fifteen minutes ago I finished writing my piece for the Summer Romance 2009 story contest.

Unbelievable. THE most famous "charity" providing wigs to children turns out to be [pick one: a) a serious underperformer, or b) a scam]!

Well, June 11th, 2009 will mark the 1 year date since Kim's death.

I'm posting this notice here, since it may be of interest to a few...

Hi everyone

I know there are many of you out there who enjoy the Gaby stories and would have liked to have joined us at the Gabycon last month but couldn't.

How many people base stories on dreams they've had? I had an odd one last night, got up this morning and wrote it up. I've done very little to make it make more sense but it's posted over on http://Fictioneer.org.

This kind of thing happen to anyone else?

Hugs,
Erin

As is normal for me, i do most of my reading of stories on this great site late in the evening, so that means when i come to make comments i'm kinda tired,which explains why the following morning you'll find me busy editing out all my stupid mistakes from the previous night is it just me trying to be too perfect or do other commentors do the same?
