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?

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*

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.

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?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – Bank of America, Verizon, Chipotle and other companies have pulled advertising from a Sacramento radio station after talk show hosts referred to transgender people as "freaks" with mental disorders.

During a May 28 show, one of the three hosts on KRXQ's "Rob, Arnie & Dawn" show said he would hit his son with his shoe if he put on high heels. Another said he would tell a boy he was "a little idiot" if he asked to wear a dress.

I had a really good session with a new Electrolygist today. She is very TG friendly and even teaches her own classes. I allow her students to work on me and she gives me a reduced rate. I got to try the latest technology in Electrolysis. It uses sixteen probes at once and the current pulses at a slower rate. It is very comfortable and I was not bothered by it much at all. The other side of my face, they used the traditional single probe. It is a cakewalk compared to Laser. It felt like someone had put 100 lit cigarettes on my face. I had tears rolling down my face.

I found this on the BBC. It suggests that parenthood behaviour is inherent in penguins of both sexes.

I'm sure that somebody somewhere must know why when i've got onto the net my computer just will not go past the first page it loads and just keeps saying 'not responding' when you try to acess any other site it's just so... frustrating!!!!

I haven't forgotten about My Mistake. I've been having some computer issues that needed sorted out, and now that they are I hope to have a chapter up either tomorrow or Friday.

I know I'm supposed to be a writer, of some kind but I can never seem to get the Yay, yea, and Yeah,'s right. Which means what? Please help. i've been going crazy over this for the past 2 years.

I've had several people encouraging me, or otherwise indicating they would enjoy, a sequel to my Mayday story, KittyHawk. I've played around with it some and, thanks to the many excellent suggestions made, have decided on how I'm going to continue it. I've already started and hope to have something up soon. I've already put up a title page and attached KittyHawk to it. I hope those who have expressed an interest aren't disappointed with what I've come up with.

The next Totally Insane part 26, has been writted and sent for editing, which should please one person and stop the death threats. It should be posted sometime during the next few days. So for fans of the Kylie-verse, your patience will soon be rewarded.

Bonzi the Cat.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa Fictionmania.tv is up and running. Thank you Fictionmania team.

For months I have been crying about my hard assed Thai Boy Friend. Well, finally, he is out, gone, kaput, thrown out! Yes, he always hurt me and he kept both my hands tied up just keeping him happy, the Cur!

I have two new Boy Friends and they are soft and real to me. They are probably about as real as any BF I will ever have. OH, such love, I have for them.

For those TG individuals with some experience, I have a question (or to those with the appropriate medical knowledge).

I found this article about raising medical professionals' awareness and sensitivity towards gay and trans patients. On the one hand, it's encouraging that there are efforts and energies afoot to do this. On the other hand, it's sad how ignorance and discrimination can exist in the medical community, just as elsewhere. The third paragraph of the article is of particular relevance to our little community here.

I have access to this through a subscription from a free Medscape blog site for Med students entitled "The Differential" (no, I'm not a med student -- I lied when I signed up for the site.) I found copies of it adapted for other websites, so I'm going to assume its copyright is either absent or permits that. Rather than post a link that probably won't work for anyone not subscribed, I'm posting the full text here.

I don't know what I experienced, but this afternoon, my computer got Schitzo, so I tried to scan it with Norton, and left for work while it worked. I came home 5 hours later and it was still scanning the same file.

I shut it down and restarted; had to unplug it. When it restarted everything seems normal, Norton says it updated, and I have all green lights.

Remember the Austrailian program,"Gender Puzzle"? Someone posted a link to part of it?

I emailed ABC Austrailia, asking to purchase it, and got the following response:

In Dear Abby's column today (05/27 - second item) "Nervous in Northern California" asked if she should tell her employer that a person that she had already recommended for a job is transgendered. Check out Abby's answer: http://www.arcamax.com/dearabby/s-551129-469043

Here is a list of nine common expressions used by women and a translation of what they REALLY mean for men with an understanding impairment and to give the girls a giggle:-

I was doing my weekly check of the jewlbox and found one listed 4 years ago. It is called Illiana by Kay Lavander. The prologue is not even listed on her author's page. She posted 2 segments of what is supposed to be an epic length novel, and then nothing. Has anyone seen her or it around anywhere else. Does anyone know if she ever posted anymore. I haven't gotten into the story yet, but it looks as if it might be interesting with all the other magic stories that have been done recently.

The authors of this site go to a great deal of trouble to provide stories to entertain you, the readers. If you disagree with something, or find a story lacking in some way, the worst thing you can do is to "OUT" the author who has taken a great deal of time to produce a tale for your delectation.

I saw this while browsing TV program descriptions

Tuesday, 26 May BBC3 TV 22:30 "Bizarre Animal ER"

Tomorrow, is Memorial Day. Many of the authors, commentors, and readers of this site are in the or have served in the military. I would like to thank you all for your service.

A few days ago, someone asked about a story on the TG Fiction Yahoo group and it started me thinking but not coming up with an answer. Someone there mentioned Brandy Dewinter's "Only for You", which is a very good story but not the one I was thinking of to answer the query.

We live in a 200 year old stone cottage (they're very common round here) and the walls are really rubble-filled double piles of stones. One disadvantage, amongst many, is that they provide spacious accommodation for small rodents from time to time. We don't usually have a problem in warmer weather; mice infestation is normally a Winter problem and relatively minor. Not so right now.
