Work has been incredibly light this last month and to keep myself occupied, I've been reading old stories. Unfortunately, there are two that have been nagging at me to be read that I cannot find anywhere...

Story 1: I believe this was a lightoffury/lightivaton story where earth is being invaded by interdimensional monsters that are attuned to specific elements. The main character slowly gains control over all the elements over the course of the story while fighting stronger and stronger monsters.

Thanks charlize

I've been going back and reading through some of my previous work. A few glaring mistakes stood out to me that I corrected asap. Then I started noticing little mistakes. A wrong pronoun here, or the wrong use or spelling of a word. Before long I felt like changing a few things in the story overall. It got me thinking...

I have a collaborator (you know who you are, and you're doing a great job!) who's helping write a new story - it's in work when I find time. Not sure if I'll try to publish for revenue (earn a few $$$) or publish it serially here.

The problem I have is that sometimes I get a little too verbose, and I need someone who can read and then say "this section or paragraph is not needed" or "tighten up the long, boring dialog" or "why don't you narrate it instead of doing the longer dialog thing?" Also any obvious "WTF? This could NEVER happen!" bits.

I've seen a lot of postings here about how much anyone can learn about us on the internet. What makes me question just how much research is really being done is things like getting fund raising letters from both the Republican and Demacratic parties in the last few days. Obviously one of them has it wrong unles I'm even more mixed up than I thought. And obviously neither one has access to my bank records. Or maybe they just didn't ask google.

Was working on a story on bcts. Like usual it is there for awhile like a day or two. I had not copy pasted to clipboard like i usually do. I figured ok this is a good place to stop. Lets give it a look over. And clicked on preview..

Access denied..

all my work gone.

I am so pissed off. I have never had this come up before.

p.s. I did save some of it but only about half of it in a file before.

Been reading the very excellent "Lifeline" by Cyclist, the story of a survivor of the worst kind of child abuse.

Lo and behold, from the same corner of the world, comes this news story of official neglect and failure at protecting children in care:

I'm sorry that I commented on a blog post that was removed this afternoon. I'm sure my comments were in part responsible for the removal. I'll take a time-out now.

I was so very wrong, I am so sorry. I understand why people ask for kudos and comments now. It's so depressing when you have tons of reads and no comments or anything.

I didn't realize how upsetting it feels when you work so hard, research like hell, make sure to not be racist in your depictions of monsters, even do tons of research. Even doing things like the EXACT temperature that was there when it was that time period and people still don't care.

Okay, so I'm kinda scared. See, this morning, while I was in a kind of half-sleep/half awake state, I felt a jolt of energy in my head, and my body twiched and trashed. Only lasted a couple of seconds. But about a minute later it happened again. I had maybe four, maybe five of these events, and then it just stopped.

Needless to say, Monday Morning I have to get a hold of my doctor, and see if they can figure out what happened.

In the meantime, hugs, prayers, and good wishes appreciated.

Hi BCTS Family!

In case you don't know me, I'm Jamie. I work behind the scenes here, helping Erin, Piper, Cat and everyone else keep this wonderful place running as smoothly as our little team can. You all have been absolutely wonderful to us over the last few years I've been working here, and I wanted to say thank you.

Now for the topic of this blog. I just got the phone call a few days ago that I am at the top of the list to work with a great service dog trainer in my area. I spoke with her some, and she recommended a specific Poodle breeder.

Christopher Tolkien, son on J.R.R. Tolkien has passed away. He had taken his father's notes and crafted the Similairian, the story of the First age and the fight of the Elves against Morgoth, the first Dark Lord. I've read the book more times than I can count, and find more to learn every time.

Rest in peace, Christopher. May you be safe in the Undying lands with your father.

Those of you who log-in to the site might have noticed SEARCH not working. Those who were not logged in, did not notice.

It took quite a while to figure out when/where this action did/did not work (as the logs are not helpful when trying to discern logins and whatnot when the system is as distributed as ours). Once I figured that fact, I tracked down the bad code, and fixed it.

Don't ask more, it was extremely tedious, and my brain hurts.

One of the most frustrating aspects of my life is my struggle with personal care tasks. It seems like I have a hard limit on the spoons I can spend on them, which means even on good days I'm having to choose which ones I can attempt and which ones I can't. So its like I could shower, but then I wont be able to shave. If I shave, I wont be able to brush my teeth, or stuff like that. All of the above assumes a good day, as things are even worse if I'm depressed, sick, or fighting with my PTSD.

As I said, this is frustrating, but I cant seem to find an answer to the problem.

...I've made a few

Just posted ...Warriors way chapter 8...bad Penny part 1

Post comments on the story and guest appearances that will lead to other stories soon!?

have fun reading people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure that I know enough about this to comment. I am relaying what I saw on BBC, about a notice that American NSA put out. Apparently there is a security issue with a .DLL file that Microsoft is scrambling to fix.

Microsoft has been in touch with me, saying that I did not pay for Windows 360, so I have to prove I did. This may cost me $200. I go in tomorrow at 11 AM to see what can be done.

I finally got up the nerve on Wednesday to go bra shopping. I have been wearing one in public ever since so I big milestone for me. When I was at the store they told me if I charged anything to my first credit card which was a store card it would be reflected in my balance right away. So I ordered some final sale bras online and thought that I had been charged for them already so I thought I was fine with a couple more things.
Dot said something to me and I called and it’s not actually been charged yet, because of the nature of the items and the final sale I can’t return them.

Yes, after over a year of posting on Fictionmania I have arrived at Big Closet!
Thanks to Chris at TransScripts for suggesting that there is a whole new audience here, and so it has proved to be.

Some of you will notice that an update has appeared to my latest short story, "Meetings in Moxgo".

This is because the original contained a number of minor errors which, although they did not detract from the tale, were a cause for annoyance. Thus, I have changed a few minor matters which required changes and tweeked a few others.

I was just wondering if the stories about Cassidy and Drew Nance are going to continue. I enjoyed reading both.

Hi friens ♥

First and foremost I wish to apologize to everyone on this site for spamming the blog links. I wish there was another place to post where most would see it. But if most are like me, they never wander past the Home Page.
Okay, I thought this was appropriate because of the readers on this site may be interested in what has been accomplished even if they weren't born in Colorado.
Colorado Allows Transgender Residents ‘New’ Birth Certificate, No Surgery Required

the worst part of being beat up by Mr. Nasty is nothing he says is totally false. The list of my failures, the black goo in my subconscious my self-destructive tendencies, it all has basis in fact. So as much as I hate to keep asking, of you actually like me, could you remind me as to why?

I think one of the reasons I've been struggling with my writing lately is that I'm facing a difficult choice which is taking up most of my attention. See, I'm at a point that I have to say yes or no to stomach surgery, and I'm having a great deal of difficulty in deciding. Either choice will have ramifications for me for possibly the rest of my life, and I just dont know what to do.

Ah, well.

Mindful2, The Follow-up to Mindful is finally on Amazon Books, Kindle. Search for 'Mindful2 by Beverly Taff'.

This is the complete novel including the final chapter.

I'm thinking of a possible follow on titled 'Mindful3' because I did leave a narrow opening to expand the story but I'm still deciding in what context and theme the story can go forward.

Beverly.

Second story a boy lives across the street from a stripper and is feeding her cat he has a medallion that allows him to change into into the last person wearing the cloths they end up losing the medallion and he is stuck as her twin
Thanks charlize

I present to thee, a new Gaby chapter and the 2nd edition of Gaby Book 5!

I feel great (said sarcastically)
Actually I spent Christmas in the hospital undergoing an emergency 8 hour surgery cutting a massive cancerous growth from my stomach. Marry christmas to me indeed. Damn

ok, so I am annoyed. the past couple times I've posted a new chapter to Brain Donor, I've had to deal with someone that has sent me private messages negatively critiquing the story. Largely because it doesn't follow what THEY want to see. I'm writing a story about a person that is NOT happy about their new gender, and I'm being told by this person that that's not the story I should be writing. their personal head-canon is that the main character should be thrilled that they are now a 12 year old girl, instead of a 26 year old male.

I really thought this would be the last part but much as I wanted to wrap up the story I underestimated how much I had left to tell. This time I won't claim Part 21 is the penultimate chapter. I hope it is but . . .

12/31/19 20:55 CST my mother passed. She had stroke-induced dementia among other health issues and finally forgot how to stay alive. It's been very rough for the past two years. The new year will begin, without her in it. I am not one for prayers, neither believe nor worship any god, but if you do then go ahead. I do not know what this new year will bring, I can only hope for less heartache. No calls, this is all I wish to share on the matter

I’ve been posting once a week for the last seven months or so, and soon I’ll post the last chapter to my Uranus story. Then I’m going to take a week off. You’d be surprised, but the Uranus story has taken a lot out of me.

I had a really bad dream last night:

in the dream I was back in school, got lost and so was late to a class that seemed to be all about taking a pile of objects and making something from them. I had no idea what I was doing, spilled all my stuff on the floor and ended up late leaving the classroom because I was trying to clean up my mess

I keep having dreams like this. Clearly my subconscious is trying to tell me something, and will keep hammering me till I get it, but other than a sense of frustration and failure I'm drawing a blank.

I have this file called "ideas" and I free write there to see if anything comes of the present idea. So, today I was working there and then I realized that what I was writing was far too BDSMish. and explicit. So, I took a nap and when I got up, I still felt that way, so I deleted that part of it, about 4 pages of smut. HMPH !

To paraphrase Noddy Holder, 'So here it is, we've had Christmas, everybody did have fun, look to the future now, its all still to come!'

When I completed writing “The Best Damn Thing” I thought I would just set it aside but only a day later I had the start of a continuation of the storyline through the eyes of another character.
And then today, I wanted to go further with a third version.

So the three are:
The Best Damn thing. —Michaela Leigh
Sweet But Psycho —Anthony Cox
Good For Me. —Randy Cox

Hey everyone.

We need money today to prevent an overdraft. Two bills that were not supposed to hit our accounts until after the first hit today and we are overdrafted, we need about $1900 to prevent hundreds of dollars of overdraft fees.

Please, if you can help, today would be the day to do it.

Thanks,
Erin, Piper, Cat, Jamie, and all the BigCloset crew.

I had really hoped to have a Christmas story to share with you all, but the last week I've been fighting a severe shortage of writing spoons, so it's not finished.

I'm sorry.

Connie's humiliation continues as she is dressed in feminine finery by her step-mother and sister.

But what are her father's plans for his new daughter?

And what of Connie's friends back at school, have they heard what really happened?

The story is beginning to wrap on layers of complexity, much like the three petticoats they put Connie in. :)

Hope everyone is enjoying their holiday, whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or whatever other celebration I left out!

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The next chapter of Tommy - The Trials and Tribulations of a Girl? is posted.
