Native American Heritage Day

Should it be on Black Friday?

Apparently there have been misunderstandings lately about me or my blogs.

First of all, for those of you who were concerned about me or my blogs, my account has NOT been hacked and the entries were, indeed, made by me.

I believed that I had finally found something that could help a lot of you and was met by what I thought was derision, only to find that it was more concern for me than anything else. I reacted, then, from a place of betrayal and in the face of new information,was shown that I was wrong.

As I lay here trying to sleep, I started thinking about my life - as I am often prone to do. In light of the fact that technically it is Thanksgiving, being nearly 1:30 AM, I started looking at the things that I have to be thankful for.

First, my family is healthy and safe - which in this time and place is something not to be taken lightly. Given that my spouse, two of my sons, and myself all suffered through Covid-19 in late March and early April, and that we are all doing fine now, I am very thankful for the fact that everyone is healthy.

As it is with plays, so it is with life.

What matters is not how long the acting lasts,

but how good it is.

-- Seneca

Peace, Love, Grace

yup, my birthday is exactly 3 months away!

There will be some delay in my writing, as my mother passed away three days ago.

Hey everyone,

Trying to edit a comment I just posted, but everytime I try to save it I get "Error 503 Backend Fetch Failed". What's the problem?

Research the url in this blog. It may help if you are behind in rent, or need food, or help with utility bills. I know several who have gotten help while we wait for the politicians to get their collective heads out of their asses and pass another stimulus check.

Lately I've been working on a group project with a few of our other authors/authoresses here, and one of them has been asking me about something I used to do....

See, many many moons ago, I posted multiple forum entries containing a year's worth of story challenges at a time: one for each week, one for each month. This person has expressed that they found these challenges a lot of fun, and would love to see me produce something like that again.

So, here's my question: would anyone ELSE like to see a new edition of my Ultimate Writer's Challenge?

Happy Sunday!

Just a couple of updates on various stories:

Sam may not be the only person at WunderGirl getting more than bargained for!

Hey everyone, sorry about this, but I don't think that I'm going to get a chapter of MPSD out this week. It's been kind of a tumultuous week (though a lot of it has been in a good way) and I've been behind on writing and everything because of it. I'm worn out and I don't have any energy so I think it best I just take a day or two to rest, relax my brain, and try to get back on schedule for this upcoming week. I can't wait until I get my medical card so I can see a doctor about getting back on my meds and hormones and actually feel energetic again.

I just learned that the history books got it all wrong.

On December 16, 1773 there was a large gathering of transsexuals in Boston. The partying got a little bit out of hand and some damage to property was done. Some partipants had overdone their "war paint" more than a little which subsequently has led to misunderstandings.

I'm very happy to be able to set things straight ;)

Some time ago there was a blog post here about a Quebec author, Yvan Godbout, who was charged with creating child pornography because his dark retelling of Hansel and Gretel included a rape scene.

The trial has now been completed and M. Godbout has been acquitted of all charges. The judge in the case also ruled that ruled that certain articles of Canada's child pornography laws cast too wide a net, targeting works of literature that don't endorse or promote pedophilia.

Yup, this lockdown has an added benefit. Book number 81 is up. This is one of the many I was going to publish under a different name, but thanks in part to many of you, books under this name sell best... so here it is, book 1 in a fantasy/sci fi series involving parallel worlds and time shifts.
***Not TG, I have to add***.

Angie's adventures in city life, romance and activism continue to get more complicated.
 

10 years ago today, I posted my first story. My... how time flies. Well over a million words later, I'm still writing. I have to hope that I've improved as a writer but that is really up to the readers.

Thanks to everyone for the kudos and comments. They are much appreciated.

Samantha

so at 4 AM my mom had another episode, and I was not able to do anything to help her.

Then Mike and Carol managed to get her to make an appointment with her doctor while I was pretty much useless.

sighs ...

Hi there from one of those BCTS team lurkers. It's Jamie again.

For those who dont know me, before I got really sick in the last few months, I was Erin and Doppler Press' office manager. Lately I've just been struggling to survive.

I'm asking for help again. I have lost the ability to move and feel my legs. We have to pay our rent this month, give 30 days notice, and find something new so I can come home. Now, I have a live in caretaker who is absolutely wonderful (and is also part of the trans community), but she doesnt get paid when I'm in the hospital.

Writing a long (very long) story, and I need to find some information on medications.

Without hypnosis (I won't use that), I need to find a medication for a story. The main character is being really put through the wringer, and while he has significant motivation to comply with the 'torture', there's suggestion that additional 'help' to ensure compliance / reduce defiance would be needed. It needs to:

antidepressant
mood stabilization
increase sense of compliance
reduce ability to be defiant or objectionable

First, I want to thank all readers of the story for their support!

I want to reiterate that the story is purely fiction and is in no way meant as a political statement.

I know that the election has created some tensions and I am not trying to make any statements that have anything to do with that.

In the aftermath of my blog here yesterday, I was talking with Drea, and came to a startling and sad realization.

That there has been a part of me that hoped the trans stuff was caused by my rapes. Because then if I got over the rapes, I'd get over the trans stuff too.

I was thrown by this, but thanks to people on the BC discord page, I worked through it.

So I guess Dorothy isn't going anywhere, and that's okay.

I had a PTSD dream last night, but one thing was different: I was externally a girl.

Is that an improvement?

I said I had a mind to extend some stories, this is the first.

I wrote The Shoplifter in 2012 which has over 7,700 hits and 239 kudos, so it seems you liked it a little.

I've written a sequel which I will post soon, there will probably be another after that, which isn't written yet and will depend upon how much time I have to write, being a rather busy woman, I have squeeze things in when I can.

If you haven't read the original story, the follow up will miss quite a lot. Here's a link:

I know that pershone said she needed about ( + or - ) but i was wondering if anyone may have heard from her about this story. Sorry for asking, I think it has been over a year, I am so hooked on it.

otherwise known as the Wednesday posting!

Facing facts can be difficult, and the facts are that I no longer pass, especially wearing one of those horrid masks. Some are optimistic that we are at the threshold of having a viable Vaccine for Covid 19, but I won't allow my happiness to get out of hand.

Sometimes as an author you write a line that is just perfect. The type of line that tears at the reader's heartstrings. The type of line that makes a perfect last line of a chapter, that will have all the readers mad at you for ending there.

I just wrote a line like that. I hadn't put any chapters yet in this story that I am writing, but after writing this line, I will. You will all hate me when you read it, but . . . You will tune in to the next chapter after reading it.

As you may or may not have seen, I’ve recently started releasing a non-canon tale in the Whateley Universe, “A New Direction” - thanks to my non-canon status, I can afford to be a little more free with fitting setting restrictions, but it still rubs me the wrong way to break from the established canon.

They Just don’t Understand

I’m astounded by all of this talk of thousands of dead people voting. They clearly don’t know what it would take for that to happen. I know because I got a dead person to vote. One person!

Being very concerned about this election I decided to help the cause by raising the dead to vote. I chose a well know union organizer and democratic stalwart as my first voter. After much research I was confidant I had the right incantations learned. I just needed a pure black cockerel to sacrifice at midnight on the dark of the moon.

I have shared here both times that I've posted my book 'Enamored' to online stores: first, on Smashwords, then on Kindle.

I've gotten a few sales of it, but both times I've asked for reviews as well, and that's been a lot harder to score so far. In fact, on Kindle -- arguably the higher profile of the two options -- I've gotten precisely two star ratings, and ONE review. One of those two ratings was a two-star with no explanation, knocking my book as a whole down to a 3 1/2 star total.

So, here's what I'm asking:

Just posted another chapter of the twins and more of the "kidnapped" story

"Kidnapped"? But who is who's captive? Do the villains 'have' the twins or are the twins really waiting to HAVE some fun at the villains expanse and pain!

have fun reading and leave comments and maybe if you have not read them? Please take a look at my mermaid series or Vaniter a sort of godess going to high school!

so because we needed more stress, apparently, I got word that two of my uncles are dealing with serious medical issues, and thanks to family stupidity I don't even know what hospital they were taken to, or anything.

sighs, hugs and prayers appreciated.

Sam's first day of using the WunderGirl products. Yippee. And his first day of working in the sawmill. Hooray. If his attitude didn't stink maybe his outlook would seem less shitty?

War of the Worlds has been reproduced many times. I am surprised. I just happened upon a delightful preview version of it on YouTube set around the turn of the 20th Century with the long skirts and such. I have been trying to rent the full version of it but the BBC seems reluctant to do so. I even subscribed to BBC and gave my address as Dumfries, but they seemed quick to suss out my treachery. My next approach might be to use something to show my address in the UK, but not be there. I'm reluctant to do that because I do not wish to be spanked.

Suggestions?

I was watching the BBC Autumn watch UK wildlife programme - they got a shot of a Dormouse!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks to Angharad I am sure there are many Bike fans who raised a smirk to this

so I've been fighting some kind of allergy for days, and I'm getting pretty tired of it.

Can I return my sinuses to the manufacturer?

Yesterday I made the 330 mile round trip to Amarillo VA. Lots of questions from the nurses all things transgender and how I got my name. I explained, four hundred years ago Barbie was a boy’s name in Germany. Today it is considered a girl’s name. Kinda like the story of my life. They were all really nice. I pray a few more understand we are human and not monsters after they had a chance to talk and visit with me. Barbie isn't what is on my military records, it is what everyone called me. Hopefully I dispelled a lot of the MSM and tabloid lies and misinformation.

Got a new story up!

Angie versus the bureaucrat.

Hey everyone,

Just letting you all know that I probably won't be posting any chapters this week. I was trying my best to get Apocalypse Dawn ready to post for today, but I caught a bad cold over the weekend and it's just kicking my ass. Between the sinus headache, the coughing, having no energy at all, and my inability to focus it's probably better that I just take it easy and get some rest.

*big hugs to you all*

I know that today -- November 3rd, 2020 -- is going to be a rough day for a lot of people, regardless of what country you're from or what you believe.

I'm going offline completely until everything is over with. I'll be back on shortly after midnight local time on November 5th.

Everyone, please stay safe, stay calm, and make sure those around you do the same.

*hugs*

How many times have I beat the drum, no two transgender is alike. Dr. Harry Benjamin wanted a one size fits all and everyone followed up with the same wrong concept. Whether you have or haven't transitioned, whether you want to or are accepting the circumstances doesn't mean a darn thing. What matters is do you accept yourself. What you feel about yourself and what you project is what people think of you even when at times they are looking at a complete opposite picture.

On May 24 I posted my 100th story on BCTS, now here I am six months later posting 200.
I suppose that I owe all the other writers an apology for barfing at your party, but it just has to come out!
People may know that I am even more prolific on Fictionmania, but there it is more ideas than fully formed pieces. Here on BCTS I like to write real short stories, that paint a picture and invite the reader to see my image, and sometimes color it in a little themselves.

Oh yes, those of us in England at least had an unwelcome gift last night, the removal of November from the 2020 calendar! -break-->Yep, seems that from Wednesday we join France and Germany in a new national Covid lockdown in the vague hope that there will be Eid, Xmas and New Year in December. So its back to furloughs, empty streets, closed stores and no use of public transport, difference is, the weather may not be so clement and the smile and carry on we saw in the spring will, I'm sure, quickly turn to frustration as 'daily' exercise is less of an option in cold, wet weather.
