The Good and the Bad

The sewer in my basement has backed up... again! Fortunately, I managed to catch it pretty early and nothing important inside the house is damaged, but I did have to go to the laundromat to wash all the clothes that got sewage on them... NOT FUN! The last time it backed up, a lot of stuff got thrown out and nothing important is stored down there. Unfortunately, this time the back up was caused by the main sewer line collapsing. Which means I can't use my toilet or shower or really use any running water at this point.

Hey, all. I'm sorry today's edition of Weeping Willow isn't up yet. I fell this AM and have hurt my arm; thought it was just a bruise, but pain is intensifying, and so now getting it checked for a possible bone break. So I may or may not get part 9 up tonight; I'll try. Again, I'm sorry. Pray that my arm isn't broken. please. I appreciate all of you.

Disturbed and disturbing

As the drabble I posted for last week's contest entry shows I'm experimenting with the short story. I've been attempting to write a flash of some sort every day for the next thirty days. So far I haven't missed though I did get pretty shy with House Hunting.
Be that as it may, I'm posting some utterly disturbing pieces over at SOL for anyone who wants to take a look. Be warned they feature violence, forced Feminization, and rape.

Random Inspirations Round 3

Another Friday, another trio of words!

This week's words are:

Rotten
Development
Accessible

Rotten. Spoiled, wasted, or otherwise worthless. Could be in reference to a terrible person, or more lightheartedly toward a character who is doted upon (spoiled rotten.) Other options could include simply having the character in a "rotten" situation, or perhaps dealing with outdated or worthless materials or foodstuffs. Alternatively, the story could be about the Sex Pistols.

Publishing Vivid Dream Reality Book 1 on Kindle

I will be publishing Vivid Dream Reality on Kindle and in order to have it in the Kindle unlimited category, I need to remove it from this site. I thought it would be nice to give advanced warning before I remove it and figured this would be the easiest way to do that. In two days time, I intend to ask Erin to unpublish all but the first two chapters.

Interesting Stats

I clicked on a solo that looked interesting ("Okay Okay" by Andrea von Tease), and noticed some interesting stats:

    Comments: 11
    Total views: 1,111

Of course, this happens often in fiction with a humorous bent. The movie "Murder by Death" had a Mr. Lionel Twain, living in a mansion with the address, "22 Twain". A radio episode of Abbott and Costello, guest-starring Peter Lorre, featured a sinister (hospital?) where they visited, at midnight ("when the moon is down"), at the address, "1313 Grave's End Road".

Semi-Identical Boy/Girl Twins.

There might be a story idea here. Semi-identical twins, an apparent rarity, share three-quarters of their DNA, vs. 100% for fully-identical twins, or 50% for fraternal twins. While identical twins always have the same birth-gender, semi-identical twins can be a boy/girl pair.
Are these twins more likely to be trans? Intersex? Have a special psychic connection?

Congratulations, It’s Twins. The Doctor Is Perplexed.

Since I'm unemployed for the moment I figured I'd put some hard work into getting a few books done for Amazon. Rather than plugging away at my edit jobs for the two BCTS conversions I'm working on, though, I have a number of never-before-seen stories in the works I'm focusing on first, including the one I've chosen to focus on right now, a silly little short(ish) romance novel.

scared to dress as self

I have bought the clothes. I grew my hair out. I have even ordered some breasts. So, why am I so scared to wear the things. The desire is there. I will wear pajamas with no difficulty. I have even started wearing leggins and a pink t-shirt around the house. I am scared to put on other stuff. Something always stops me.

I have thought about going to a trans support group all dressed up, but backed out at last minute. I want to go to one of my therapy sessions dressed as myself, but never do.

2019-03-10 Fingers crossed

People who read my blog know that the last decade wasn't the best for me with everything going on. But I got some news 2 weeks ago that at least a part of the difficulties I am having (the bankruptcy ones) is on it's way to be, at least. partially solved as there's been an offer for the house. So now I am waiting to see how the next few months (max of 4) go . Best case scenario will have me completely free of at least the bankruptcy (instead of doing the the rest of the 7 years ( 5,5 to go))..

So little bit of light at the end of this particular tunnel.

The Chronicles Are Done But Cynthia Lives

I think it has been very apparent that I have been struggling with the Cynthia Chronicles series. For that reason, I will be drawing it to a close shortly, or at least relatively shortly. I've been working on the final episode for a while; at least in fits and starts. It may take a while to make it right. This may take some major rewriting of a previous episode or two. I wrote the ending many years ago, but removed it from here because there needed to be many more things to be tidied up.

Me again, sorry, boring, but after a rather slow time - RL got in the way, a new book is now published on Amazon. Kindle version is up, and the paperback might take a little longer.

Sci-fi, body/mind swap fantasy. Book One of There Be Monsters. There will probably be three in the series.

She ends up turning him into Erika, her sissy pet, and pushes his limits. Evan ends up loving it, but gets conflicted since he already has a girlfriend who has no idea. Things start to get out of hand when Savannah takes him to a fetish party and both are placed into some pretty compromising situations.

Odds and Ends

First and foremost, I want to apologize to everyone waiting for the next chapter of Allison's Test. I know I usually post faster than this but I've been working a lot, and I'm revising Allison's Pledge for an eventual release to Amazon. I didn't get a response from Doppler Press, unfortunately, so I'm going to self publish and that requires me to get a cover for the paperback printing. I also want to add a few new chapters to AP to expand on the story, so get ready for something new when it finally does hit Amazon. That's about all I have for right now - back to work for me!

Looking for a long forgotten story

Hey folks,

After a long time I find myself longing to re-read a story. How nice, you might say, but why put that in a blogpost? Well, the thing is that I remember neither the title nor the author. What I do remember is the following:

The title I think was a greek word
Our protagonist starts out as a witness, goes undercover as a girl, helped by a special division of spies/super cops. These are all trans girls, but the company gives them very high end tools, indistinguishable from the real thing. Near the end of the story she becomes part of the organisation officially, and gets to live her life as a girl. If I remember right, she set herself up to be a witness with that exact result in mind.

Woodcrest - Not a forced fem story

I've tried to make this one clear before but it's not getting though: Woodcrest is not a forced fem story. I know that in this environment it's what people have come to expect and are looking for around every corner but I want to assure you that my characters are not sadistic, nor do they want to enslave my main character. They're literally just awful people trying to do something good and failing at it because they have no idea how to care about anyone besides themselves. There is character development, but this is a series - it won't be resolved in the first few chapters.

There were a lot of ideas that came to me as I wrote that Whateley fan-fiction story unfortunately to stay true to the Whateley-verse many of those ideas could not be used. The ideas were too good not to use and so we have another much longer and I think better story that isn't limited by someone else's ideas of how something should work, or not work, in the universe :)

2. Unlike Allison's Pledge the story is designed to introduce even more themes of moral ambiguity and to make you question whether or not you even like your favorite characters

I wanted to share the story of my name change.

It all began not long after I began my transition, and discovered that if I wanted surgery, I would have to change my name. Which would have been difficult, because I was deep in debt, and didnt have the money it would take.

That changed when Walmart outsourced my department, and paid me out, giving me a about four thousand dollars.

With the money issue solved, I sent away to New Brunswick for a copy of my birth certificate, which I would need to start the ball rolling.

The End of Allison's Pledge?

Hey everyone, Karissa here. I've been writing Allison's Pledge for what seems like forever, though if we're going to be honest it's been about two weeks. The first part started as a bit of an experiment that came out of utter exaustion and mild depression and to be honest it was only supposed to be about three parts. I found that I didn't want to leave Allison's world, so I just kept writing, and writing, and writing until we're finally at the point we see now.
