FYI, KimEM is in the hospital again. She was admitted during a device checkup as she was and is showing signs of CHF which is a complication of her Hear attack years back.

With luck she will be home in a couple days feeling a lot better, and not carrying around so much water.

This is my first blog entry; hell, it's my first entry of any sort other than a comment or two on other people's writing. Let me know what you think...

An Unexpected Conversation

I have noticed that there appears to be a bit of a drop off re reader hits for my stories.

I was wondering if it's because they are bad stories (sob; hits head against convenient brick wall) or if it's just a general trend as there is so much good stuff to read and people have not got the time to read everything.

In the Blog posted about Sephrena flying out to Seattle to see her girlfriend Princess Chelsea, only two of the comments actually wishes her well as she travels.

The others are all about the blog itself. Me, I can't understand why there are not more well wishers. Sephrena has done a lot here and has been a friend to everybody.

toward the left coast and her first face to face with Chelsea. Lets give her a rousing sendoff!

Best of luck, Sephy and Chelsea! My prayers and hopes for you both go with Sephy.

Good luck huggles from

As I sit here, contemplating my navel, pulling out the inevitable fluff and trying to think of how Olivia is going to get out of the sinister clutches of Bill Sykes, I am having one of my normal thrice a day incidents of writers block.

A while ago I heard a story that inspired me to write the way I do. I don't remember it word for word, but it went something like this:

I love the interactivity of this website, why else would I be up at 4.30am wanting to respond to a few comments at the end of my latest little effort at fiction.

The first point to address is what happens to Meryl, the girlfriend of the hero/heroine. Why isn't she around in the main series?

Has anyone talked to Krunch recently. I've sent him PM's with no response. About three weeks ago he said he was not feeling well and then.........

First, I just have to tell you all (18 years in the south and I still can’t say y’all) that I am thrilled by the votes and comments on the last few chapters. They have been really heartfelt and thoroughly encouraging. All the time I spent alone writing, thinking that maybe this would be okay, or even, if the gods smiled on me, pretty good, has been repaid.

Solari over on the FM hyperboard posted a link to a site called TStories (http://www.tstories.com/index.php) that is hosting works from a lot of authors here. After a quick scan I found stories by Julie O, Morpheus, Angela Rasch, and many others, including myself. I know I didn't give them permission to post the stories and I'm sure none of the others did either.

I just had the coolest thing ever happen. In fact, it may take days for
me to put it into perspective. I had to run down to a little store, because
we were out of cat food, and despite what I wrote to Sue Brown, I have
to bribe my cats with food so they'll like me.

Anyway, I'm standing there, waiting for my Pizza to be cooked (Because

I see a lot of heat being generated about the "BC" community. As I see it there are a couple of hundred people who contribute to this site either as authors or as bloggers or as commentors or all three. There is also a silent group who must enjoy what goes on here.

Hi All, here is the raw log from the Feburary 10th BCTS/SD chat. Remember this is unedited and that the timestamps are Pacific Standard Time. Hugs and love, Cindy

For any of you who are currently seeking Sephrena, guess what?

I would not normally recommend a movie on this site , and believe me, this is not an advertising pitch, but I just saw the most wonderful film on a plane. The title is 'Stardust' and it really is a magical movie which includes TG/TV sequences (Robert De Niro as a TV pirate!) and it is one of the nicest films I have seen in a long time, but then I'm a silly sentimental old romantic.

Which to tackle first, being unfinished or Ms Tern?

I have started a new series called Point Of View. In my new series, the character will give their thoughts on events and other characters within the story.

i really hate days when all you can do is sit inside and watch tv. we just got over a foot of snow and it is still falling. i am feeling really trapped and down today i really like to just get out. so i have had all day to read alot of stories on this site and find i think that everyone deserves a thanks for all of the stories.

Coeds 2 by Julie O has just been posted on the Stardust web site. Enjoy and be sure to leave a comment.

Fiona visiting a Carnival-Party

My name here on BC was Meri but I'd like to be called Fiona :)

Two friends invited me to join them for a carnival party, where i was the first time "out."

Didn't you just love Courtney?

Forget the issue of what kind of Jewish parents give a daughter such a goyishe (Hebrew for gentile; literally meaning “nation,” but signifying non-Jew and often carrying a pejorative connotation when Jews carry out all those secret rituals y’all are so worried about) name like Courtney. I know that Sara, Rebecca and Leah, three of the four matriarchs — the fourth being Rebecca - were already taken in this story, but really, Courtney?

Anyway, don't you just wish you had a sister who was so open and accepting, and willing to go with the flow? And don't you just wish you could share a dressing room with her while you both try on expensive lingerie?

Forget it. She's my sister, not yours. Okay, she's not mine either, but this is fiction, after all.

I thought I'd try something tonight by way of an experiment. I'm still plugging away at my Edwardian story so I thought I'd programme some appropriate music for the period, so far it's been Parry and Elgar orchestral pieces, with a chunk of Vaughan Williams ('London Symphony','Lark Ascending','Songs of Travel') - I'm not sure it's working as I intended, I seem to be listening more than typing :)

anyone else tried something similar?

Hiya everyone! Below is a link to a rather silly video I did over the weekend. It's just me and my friend Beatrice, who may or may not have the start of a budding singing career. ^.~

I don't watch football usually, but I would watch it more often if games were as good as the fourth quarter of this Superbowl. Two excellent teams, two fantastic quarterbacks, head to head competition between the minds of two great coaches. Wow!

The Pats didn't let themselves be outplayed, they just got out-lucked by a Giants team that made no important mistakes. Double wow!

I have a powerful need for contact with other human beings, and in spite of my own personal fear of rejetion, that need drags me out of my apartment and into the public. Inadvertently, I have spent thousands of hours working with a group called,"The City Repair Project", and have made dozens of friends. Oh, I am 61 and they are all in the 18 to 30 Age group, so my social contacts with them are less than what I would like but we have worked on several projects together. The good part of this is that they have seen a transwoman who is socially together enough to be a viable positive force in their organization

It is something that they needed to see, and I like to hope that little actions in many different places by transwomen will ease the way for all of us.

I just watched a documentary TV show on BBC America called Teen Transsexual; I hour long at noon MST. It followed a girl while she was 17 and 18. There was a little about her early life. She went on HRT at 16. After she turned 18 she was able to have breast implants. She was very slim and had had very little breast growth from the HRT.

Hi Everybody,

i just wanted to let everyone know that I've just started the MORFS Month-long Marathon! there will be a new MORFS story posted everyday during the month of February.

Just so people know, here's the graph from Sitemeter of monthly visitors for the past twelve months. :)

I noticed when posting a comment that the icons for Bold, Italic, etc have disappeared from the message body panel? Is it just me? I normally log in using Firefox. I know they don't appear with Safari, but they always have with Firefox.

This was the most painful thing I've ever written.

All of the characters behaved badly and then suffered. And even when they tried to behave well, they suffered because the situation was just beyond their ability to deal with.

Nov. 3 1957 the first earthling went into orbit. It wasn't a man but his best friend, a dog. In honor of our own Laika and my own geek fascination with space I'm posting this link to a Msnbc article about the one and only spacedog. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21596557/

Sorry folks,

I wanted to get the next chapter posted tonight, but I got home too late and I'm too tired.

I guess I can cross Sci-Fi off my list as a genre. I had the idea for "The Bureau Of Karmic Retribution" pop into my head. It didn't go over well with my audience as I didn't get one comment about it. I will just stick to sappy tearjerkers LOL!

I first posted this as a response to the comments on my previous blog, but after I hit submit, I decided it was worth a post of its own.

I know that each of us grapple with the question; "who are we"? I think I am doing OK; at least as well as most other people. Those of you who know of my past brush with Islam, may also know that it left a deep, smoking, brand on my heart. I am talking of the stated philosophy, not of the weirdos, kooks and murderers who get all the attention.

Woke up this morning to find I had no control over my left leg, no bigee really as it's happened before, and is generally a bit wonky anyway. What it did mean was a day off work, to read through what I've been writing, and to rifle through my record collection (it really is a record collection, I never said goodbye to vinyl) for songs for Firestorm's repertoire...

Sorry I couldn't let this one pass by like the other one did.
I just got the 666th hit on chapter 2... Thankfully I'm not superstitious. lol

Thanks everybody for commenting, I know my sspelling can leave something for want, but I try to catch the mistakes

Hugs everybody,
Jayme

I posted this as a comment to "Who Was I", and then realized that it may be for a wider readership.

My dears, coming out as a T girl can be extremely hard for most of us. Perhaps coming out in our teens is easier but I don't see how it could be. Now, into my 4th year fully out, I can see a posible future for myself. Before was all about death and dying.

Not really anything to do with BC but everyone is so helpful here I thought it worth a try.

I have a young pen friend (just coming up 14) who is experimenting with writing a novel.
Does anyone know of a friendly site where she could post her efforts and receive the kind of support and encouragement writers appear to get here.

"You're not going to cry, are you?"

Wow! My date with Phillip is accruing hits with amazing speed. I guess you can read it as a stand alone, and some people must have at least opened it with that in mind because too many people have opened it to have just been those who've read the earlier chapters.

Also, the last blog, Thoughts on Femdom, got a huge number of hits.

Maybe it's just the title.

Hello BC fans!!! ^___^ ;-D

I had a eureka moment this afternoon, and have finally come up with the last major plot element for my first Edwardian set story (I think my little sojourn back to my eighties adolesence helped quite a bit).

So there I was, banging away at the keyboard, smoke coming out of it due to the speed of my single digit frenzy, proud that I can type at least ten words a minute as long as said words are not too long.

I didn’t want to do this, but I think I have to.

Unfinished Symphony is not a femdom story.

Here's a poem I wrote 11 years ago that I just found in a folder. When I first wrote it, I couldn't figure out what to do with it so I buried it. Now I'm hoping I found a home for it here.

Life Is Genderful

Society
Tries placing me
As one kind
In body and mind
But I am not a man
And I am not a woman
I'm a human being
Somewhere in between
