On the BCTS site and the larger Internet, there are citizens from literally every part of the world. Despite my own cautious belief in a higher order of things, human activity, earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes and other chilling events, I'll admit to being quite tense and sleepless at times.

Then there are the nutty conspiracy theorists that at times make life all the harder.

Just came up with this little snippet of a story and wanted to share.

The Encounter
My guest had gone to clean up, so I went to the kitchen to make us some food, but before I could finish, I heard a scream coming from the bathroom.

I walked over to it, and when there was another scream, I tried the door.

Fortunately, my guest had not locked it, so I went in to find her cowering in a corner, naked, and pointing at the shower.

Put an ultra short story up last night. This morning it's gone. Got it off my chest. Figured it wouldn't fly.

Ahabidah.

As soon as I complete the final chapter for "I Don't Like You" I will work to complete "Whataholiday" before the holiday season starts.

Thank you to the readers of Nicole's journeys.

So a little while ago, I decided to do some AI work on the characters of The Arctic Fox. Specifically, Arctic Fox 3, but of course, some of the characters are in the other books as well. Having pictures of the characters allows me to keep a picture of the in my mind so any descriptions of them are consistent.

Since I had the pictures available, I decided to put them in a blog, so if anyone wants a reference to what the people look like when you’re reading the stories, you have it.

How do you — as an author, reader, or both — feel about authors responding to comments? It’s something I’m struggling with quite a bit. And I don’t mean just saying, “Thanks for the nice comment!” when someone says something kind, I mean when they’re theorising about what the secrets behind motivations are, what someone’s (or even the story’s) real purpose is, ‘whodunnit?” etc.

I'm excited to announce that Suddenly Royal 2: Royal Performer is now available for Pre-Order! Available August 16th! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DC117P9D

“I just want to watch the world burn,” I said.

So, I'm doing something that I've never done before. I'm putting out an S.O.S. You see, once, long ago, back when I haunted all of the Harvest Moon Roleplay Forums that seemed to everywhere, and the many slice of life Roleplay Forums that were always popular, I was known for my moving, emotionally backed Christmas stories. And when I started writing on D.A (Devient Art) I would go all for my yearly Christmas story, I would commission an artist for the cover-art and pull out of the stops.

I am sort of flattered: I stumbled onto a Forced Fem story on You tube that is almost word for word my "Autobiography", and "You Did What To Me".

I messaged them but do not intend to ask You tube to take it down.

Some of you may be offended if their work is stolen like this.

I am not sure what to do.

Ahabidah, Gwen Brown.

Since the last site mini-crash, has anyone noticed or questioned why the TEASERS on the home page repeats the newest 5-6 selections?

This is a minor issue but if it's a simple fix, it'd be much appreciated.

I'll admit I don't read every story and use the teasers to weed out stories that aren't in the themes I have little interest.

Thank you

How long can Rani maintain the illusion of being a teen-age princess?

I've been away for a little while, but like a bad penny, I'm back. LOL.

Slowly but surely.

I've been without a computer and the drive to write anything for the past two weeks...just felt what I write is inferior sometimes and that I've lost the heart and soul of why I write to begin with.

I've been working on a few of my current projects in hopes to finish them:

"I Don't Like You" (2 chapters remain)
"Circle in the Sand" (3 chapters remain, plus a COMPLETE rewrite of the current one posted)
"When You Close Your Eyes (2 chapters remain)

So, I was wondering around the Taste of Edmonton, and I saw this beautiful skirt.

It was in my favorite color (3 guesses which one), and it fit me.

But I had to pass it up because it was $200.00.

Sometimes, it sucks being a responsible adult.

My kitchen mixer tap has been dripping for some weeks. Yesterday I tried to get the cap off and failed. I went and finished reading a novel instead. Today, with a renewed feeling of intent, I got a selection of screwdrivers and set to. I had bought some washers in the week so hoped I could do the job. I have never been good at plumbing, I'm still not, but it seems mixer taps don't have washers, they have cartridges. I watched a couple of you tube videos to see what I had to do, I then looked on Screwfix site to see how much they were. There are loads.

Hey ladies :-)

Since my last post showing off some of the AI art I've created of my characters, I've been... well, we need a better word than 'busy.' :-) Don't worry, I'm still writing too, faster than ever in fact (I have a full thirteen chapters in my backlog that I need to get to editing). But here are some of my favourite images I've created. Here's Laura, a bit older than she was in her story:

If strangers know anything about Alberta, it's probably the resort towns of Jasper and Banff.

Well, right now, Jasper has been evacuated, and fires have reached the outer reaches of the town.

We are safe from the fires here in Edmonton, but the smoke is making it hard to breathe.

hugs and prayers appreciated.

I'm disgustingly old, 77 1/2, and while there have not been any diagnoses of Dementia or Alzheimer's, I'm tired, so tired. The Doctors such as they are think I have MS. For now, I plan to keep writing as a relief to my severe Depression, I do not plan to publish any more whether under Ahabidah, or Gwen Brown. I'm hoping that I die in my sleep rather than rot away in a care center. I was going to leave my email but that will expose me to scammers, so perhaps I'll just check the site for PMs, if there are any. Should anyone want to, I am sure the Admins can contact me.

Meet the parents...

That's me on YouTube, where I can say what I want to.

OOPs, just got in trouble on YouTube. Guess I was wrong. :(

In the midst of coping with the world situation, I've heard about a Term that is new to me and used by someone I've never heard of; Charli ????

Feeling hyper alert in the present situation in the US.

All things considered, internal and external, BC has a bright future.

Who knew being a beautiful princess on a mission to save the world could be so dangerous?

Are lgbTq influential enough to affect an election ???

When we meet someone whether they are an old or a first time meeting our voice is the second thing noticed and it's usually an unconscious thought. The first thing noticed is physical appearance and that includes not only body but also attire. Do not dress like an escapee from a homeless shelter who lost all one's clothes in a flood or a fire. The Hippy Revolution was in the past and it should have been left there along with the tie dyed clothes and other bright ugly mismatched colors. Did everyone suddenly go color blind back in the sixties?

Diane enjoys(?) that essential experience of shopping for a new dress...

Longtime no see everyone! I wanted to let everyone know that after waaaaay too long of a time I've completed my draft and first edit for Suddenly Royal 2: Royal Performer!

Life and writers block had interfered with finishing it until now, but it'll be coming soon! I'm hoping to publish the complete book on Amazon later next month, and I'll post a chapter a week on here as well.

I just had someone ask me about any upcoming books, so I thought I would share the news with you all!

Who is affected by the Global BSOD caused by Microsoft?

"Dust" is a maker of internet short videos. I got curious about them, who they are, where they are, how they function and all that. I did not find out if they use sources outside their group, or if they pay them. It's just an idea but perhaps some of the better writers on BCTS could submit their work to Dust, you know, take a flyer. They might even be interested in TG content. I see a lot of TG content on YouTube nowadays.

Just an idea.

and I'm running a fever of 103F right now. Just took some tylenol. I have more than a few of the markers for being at higher risk from covid, so keep me in your thoughts, please. I'll let you all know how things go over the next few days.

DINGDINGDING

You hear that? That's the chiming of the bell signifying the end of voting for the contest! So without further ado...

2:00 AM PDT my time. Just finished watching outsider Russian movie called "Attraction". It is about 2 hours long and in my opinion very good. It is worth your time. It came out before the Ukraine/Putin war. It makes me realize that there are things that are more important than gender.

The English dubbing is flawless, though a bit stilted.

Rani, disguised as a princess, is surrounded by intrigue and deceit.

I have been trying to set up my new computer, and for the most part I am happy with it, but I do have some minor issues I have not been able to fix. its mostly the keyboard, as somehow when I try the key for the apostrophe and the quotation marks, I get this instead: è È.

I have tried to reconfigure the keyboard, but so far, no luck.

It is not a major thing, I can live without them, but it is kind of annoying, and it has slowed my writing.

Ah, well,

I hope Erin and the girls lets this one stay up and think of it as History instead of political. I'm not adding any more use your search engines if you wish to find out.

I'm in my third decade as a BC author.

During the last six months BC has been on a tremendous UP!

Not to disrespect a great group of departed authors, but it just might be that fifteen of the top twenty-five BC authors of all time have posted since January First of this year.

I would include in that group: Rasufelle, Jenny North, Jenny Walker, Laika, Erin, Bru, Emma Anne Tate, Erisian, and Melanie Brown. . .without giving it too much thought.

Who would you add to this expanded Mt. Rushmore?

left handed screwdrivers etc are but nothing compared to a long wait.

I was just cruising Amazon Kindle and saw "Jane" by Joyce Melton. It this a continuation of the 'Jane' I already read? OR is it the same one?

Allison Zero has reached a major turning point. I've been talking about this in both blogs and the comments on the story for the past few parts. The story is not done, and will continue, there's a lot left to be told, it's just, as the readers will know, reached a point where there's a significant change to Allison's life (beyond gender.) Certain "discoveries" have been made, which readers have commented on in the last part of the story.

Some how my access to Big Closet has been compromised. I can now post stories again but I cannot comment on other stories nor can I properly look back to new comments on older stories.
