so I stumbled upon an idea and what started originally as a one-shot may be growing, and so I need someone to help me out here. I need someone to talk to, to bounce ideas off of, get input, get feedback and help craft this thing. It's going to be a modern urban fantasy-ish/ pseudo sci-fi-ish thing, where something in our mundane lives causes a fantastical change in a character and how they deal with it. Please PM me if you're up to it pls.

Well this is unexpected, a Monday post but I felt sure that at least 2 of you will be as excited as me.

Well that's a question I seem to be asking myself a lot lately.

Non-transgendered men try out breast forms

After getting stirred up a little I decided to write this esp. as a huge fan of this storyline.
As outlined above I will be listing who will be fighting against the Bastard and whom will likely be fighting.
As a long time reader of Whateley lore I have an idea of this lineup starting with: Team Kimba(absent possibly Ayla), Hive, Kodiak and Outcast Corner. Likely fighters include: Miyet, Laney, Tansy, Sangria(j/k I love Sangria's story) and Mrs.Carson. Questions?

The final part of Tammy's book "Moving On" has been published although there may be an epilogue to this book.

This does not mean that Tammy's story has finished, only this part! After the epilogue, however, there will be a break before new Tammy whilst I work on other projects.

Many thanks to Snowfall for all her help during the series.

Hey Bailey fans! Just finished adding title artwork to Seasons of Bailey: Autumn! Each part has a different image. Feel free to check it out, and drop me a message if you'd like. Let me know what you think. I'm working on Winter and Spring artwork right now. Eventually will be posting new chapters to All American Bailey as well! So stay tuned.

Seasons of Bailey: Autumn - Part 1

Last night, I had a dream full of failure and frustration. First I was in a large group being assigned with building something from Leggo and I struggled to find pieces, and my finished product looked sad compared to the others. Then we cleared off the leggo and we were supposed to learn a dance, but I couldnt see the feet of the instructor, so couldnt march her steps. And even when I had one on one instruction, I couldnt seem to explain what my problem was.

For the Linux users out there, I need some opinions/answers. I've got an older Windows machine that I am thinking of reviving with a Linux OS. I am also considering a Linux dual boot system, with Linux on a thumb drive while the original Windows OS on the HD. That would give me access to all the stories, photos, and what-not.

My question is which would be a better choice: Ubuntu or Mint? Either one can be installed on the HD or a thumb drive. I like the thumb drive option for it's portability. Any suggestions or recommendations?

I'm starting to worry I'm not going to have my trope story done in time. in fact I'm starting to worry I wont ever write again.

hugs appreciated

Had my therapist appointment today. Got told that I need to get my bloodwork checked but if that's clear my therapists recommended putting my on anti depression med's ...

Sunday is here again!

redacted as to not cause an issue

Following on from my blog posts about Georgie Stone, it's sad to read that South Dakota House of Reps has passed a bill making it a criminal offence for doctors to treat transgender youths under the age of 16 with puberty blockers. Rep Fred Deutsch originally compared the treatment to medical experiments in Nazi concentration camps, although he's now backed off after widespread criticism. Many medical associations have expressed their dismay at the bill since untreated transgender youths are more at risk of suicide.

So, yeah.

Double good news day.

First, my little dog has bounced back a bit, so it seems like we will be spared making the hard choice for now.

Secondly, I went to the dietitian and I have lost more weight. I'm down to 308 lbs now, from a high of 338 lbs not too long ago.

so yay on both fronts.

After reading the latest Camelot Network Solutions I started backtracking to find out about a character I didn't remember. I discovered that #7 is not there. I tried all the usual things - forced reload, clearing the buffers, even tried on a seperate device, all with no luck. Still keeps saying a 0 word count.

My little dog's health is going downhill, and my mom is super stressing about how far we let things go before we say goodbye to the little fuzzball.

I'm doing what I can to help, but this is putting serious pressure on my spoon count.

Georgie Stone, 19-year-old transgender rights advocate and her mother Rebekah were both awarded a 'Medal of the Order of Australia' (OAM) in this year's Australia Day awards. Georgie was the youngest recipient this year. Identifying as female at the age of two, Georgie and her mother were instrumental in having the Australian law changed so that transgender children no longer have to apply to the Family Court to start receiving stage 1 hormone-blocking treatment. Georgie started to receive hers at the age of 10.

Finally, after a week of trying, Amazon have passed the Gaby - Girls, Girls, Girl? paperback for retail!

Hi everyone on BC. With Momma E's letter to Helen, i feel it was a great ending to one of my longest stories i have ever writen. Oh how i wanted soooo much to keep it going but i never found anything that wasn't already addressed in the narrative. I had fun with Helen and Jo but i felt it was time to move onto something else. I left it open because 1) i wanted Helen to reflect myself a little and i am still not out of the closet so i would have literally no idea of how to proceed if she ever does come out on paper.

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 ♥
