Yes, its time for Gaby to be part of Analise' Polterabend do - click on the link to catch up with the high jinx!

As promised, here are actual links to the latest Gaby volume - thanks to all those who have already found their way!

Thanks to Cathy for her hours and days of reformatting Change of Heart back into something readable. She has to be a trooper. For all of you who commented. For all those who gave me a heads up on where the story line was way off from being close to the truth. For all those who gave me information on the story line missing necessary data.

Thanks is not enough. But sincerely thank you. I truly appreciate all of you sharing your knowledge and your skills.

I am not going to beg for kudos on Mercy, but I am curious.

258 people liked the first chapter of Mercy enough to give it a kudo.

With every chapter that number has declined, to the point that the latest chapter has 63 kudos at the moment.

If you gave a kudo to chapter one, but have since dropped away from liking the story, and you're comfortable sharing, I would really like to know why.

Too short chapters? Too long a break between chapters?

Anything else that might bring you back ?

Wow! As my old idol Mickey Mantle said, "If I'd known I was gonna live this long, I'da taken better care of myself."

Yep. April 15th. The date Lincoln died, the date the Titanic sank, Tax Day. Does that tell ya anything about the way my life has been? LOL. Frankly, the way my luck goes, if I inherited 400 acres of pumpkins, some ratsass would cancel Halloween!

This play seems to be very topical AND good. In SoCal now it may be coming to your area. Stay alert. "But how can a straight dude explain to his wife that the cash he’s hauling home is coming from a new line of work that involves full makeup and falsies? But what’s most memorable... is the tenderness between Burnap’s Casey and Okoro’s Jo...Casey may still be a boy but he’s a lovable one. And as he grows into a man by discovering himself as a woman onstage, he becomes even more endearing.

Someone is using Katy Leones name on FB asking to be friends. It's not funny when so many of us were friends with her and it really hits the love of us that knew her stories. I hope whomever is doing this gets the hell they deserve because it's not funny to this!

Hello everyone,

Wow, looking at the last time I posted it does appear I had dropped off the face of the earth. Felt like it too. Recently I replied to the emails sent to me (thank you for them) and it was suggested that I go and post a 'Hello' blog to tell everyone I am well.

I'm not in a good place right now, I'm not functioning at all and haven't been for months. The only thing that distracts me is reading and it isn't working as well anymore. I'm either constantly near tears or in tears and I'm constantly wishing the pain would end and thinking about how I wouldn't mind so much.

Hey guys,

Just posting a quick note here to let ya'll know we're moved. I only just got internet hooked up today. It's not half as fast as what we were expecting, but it's faster than what I did have so that's something.

Chapter 11 of Magic of the Kingdom will be delayed a bit. The move kind of interrupted us finishing it :-P As always it'll be on Patreon first for a week then we'll post it here.

So we'll start with todays chapter, click here to read chapter 37, Bridal Party

As promised, the fourth part of the latest book - Girl's on Fire is now out! Usual formats and suppliers, follow the links!

Hi All;

So....yes, Meltdown will continue and be finished. But it is going to take a while yet. I have just finished 3 years on my union's bargaining team getting a tentative agreement for 70,000 of our members. I finished the last ratification vote on Friday, and my mind can now concentrate on other things - you know, like writing.

Just wanted to confirm that Gaby - Girl's on Fire part 4 will be available from the usual sources tomorrow, that's Wednesday 12th of April.

The 300 plus page full volume of Book 19 is taking a little longer to put together - it will have a character appendix and I hope to include a basic location map too to help readers make sense of some of the story! I am planning to have it ready for release this weekend - something to read over Easter!

So ttfn
Mads

Sorry.

I got several compliments on my writing at church today.

On a day where I had been feeling pretty much like I was dead weight taking up space, I needed that.

It looks like Spring has sprung outside, I'm down to one coat indoors - lol.

Anyway - the next Gaby chapter is available now!

The other top news is that I'm ahead of the game with writing, 5 new chapters completed since Wednesday so with just one chapter to write tomorrow, Part 4 of Book 19 should be out on Wednesday. If you are hanging on for the complete volume that, with luck should be available at some point over the Easter weekend!

To all readers,

Remember to hit the "Kudos" button. You know, the one that's shaped like Facebook's "Like" button and which serves a very similar purpose. Unless, of course, you legitimately didn't like the story and have no intention to comment or read any more of it. Then, don't.

I am writing this because I recently realized I forget to do it sometimes.

a story of mine has been published.

Here is the link:

http://www.createdgay.com/files/magazineapril2017a.pdf

I have exchanged emails and PMs with at least 4 other Mormon or Xmo authors here and this is really to them, only. I was initially exposed to the Mormons in March 2011, and had some very healing years with them. I do not want to forget the good the local members did me.

In November 2015, it all began to tank with their ill advised announcement aimed at the children of same sex marriages, and I almost quit then but I vainly believed that eventually in the face of devotion and a sense of morality, they would change.

I am left wondering where Jessie's latest story is

Dreams of Dancing in the Sky -Part 1

Submitted by wolfjess7 on Thu, 2017/04/06 - 8:39pm

Well, this has been an ... interesting week.

I've recently overcome long-term health problems that have made it difficult to focus. I'm ready to start writing again and I want to write something to donate to Doppler Press to sell to help support the site.

Complete or not? It is up to the reader as the end of the story got a little sketchy. The author was moving the tale around too much and losing continuity as if she had lost interest and was in a hurry to be done with it. The other indicator she was tired, she had moved away from dialog for the most part to description in order to try and get finished. (dialog is one or more people talking. descriptive is a recipe or history book)

Yes there is a new chapter, House Ridden, available here at BC today!

In other news -

Hello All

Angharad has asked me to let you know that she had computer problems last night. Hopefully, she will be back online in a day or so. I am certain she will be back blogging and writing 'Bike' as soon as she can.

Her priority, naturally, is in her university course work so please no fretting.

Love to all

I was reading through chapter 2 for the 50th time; I had already posted it; and I realized I didn't address some things. So I added more to it. Not much but something essential. If you've already read chap 2 and don't want to have to read the whole thing again (even tho it's really short), it's in the last 1/2 of the chapter.

Yes, I know. Don't mess too much with completed stories. Remember Michael Jackson's nose after the surgeons messed with it too much. Did Picasso try to go back and fix a painting?

Depending upon how you say the title, it could almost be the start if a music hall joke, except I've been essaying an essay essay as an essay all day. If that doesn't make sense, neither does most of what I wrote. An essay can be an attempt, a piece of written work shorter than a treatise, a first draft, a trial or an experiment; according to Chamber's.

Just wanted to thank everyone who sent me a suggestion for Mercy. If you gave a suggestion and I don't choose it, please know that's not because your suggestion sucked, but that at the end I had to make a decision. I am noodling, but some health issues are draining my spoons right now so it might be a while.

huggles to all.

Leila and I were talking last night, and we were discussing what would have happened if Jeff Foxworthy had been transgendered.
Here's some of what we came up with:

And now, without further ado, Ms. Jethrene Foxx, with another installment of "You might Be A Trans Person If..."

If you've ever given makeup advice to a woman, you might be a trans...

If your family didn't know your birth name until you were 27...

If you own a cigarette lighter, and you don't smoke...

While reading I often encounter errors. Does the Author want to know? Has someone else already reacted? I want to help, but maybe the author doesn't want help, in which case, I don't want to impose on the author. And, I don't want to divert my attention far from the story I am reading.

I could NOT do a hundredth of the research coming my way without the help of so many eyes out there catching the items not making main stream news. Once again I thank phydeau for her support. Please understand transgender are individuals and are not produced from an assembly line where all think alike and have the same opinions and ideas. They aren't mass produced in an evil lab to take over the world. About the only thing in common they have is they are some of the most intelligent people one will ever meet.

Well, I ran into a brick wall with my Mercy story.

I was gonna have Faith meet with a suicidal student, but since Vantier just did that in her latest chapter, and I don't think I could top it, I need to go in another direction.

If only I knew what that direction was ...

I'm trying to bribe my muse with chocolate but no luck so far ...

I'm sorry. I have just bitten the head off two authors, and there may be others.

Some big losses. Don't call me or PM me. Just need to hide for a while.

Sorry.

Hello fellow adventurers,

those humans of the nevarious profession - if we want to call it so - the politicians, have bestowed upon us great confusion once again. First it have been daylight savings in America now the European continent was to follow down the road of stolen time and confused humanoid beings.

Until the day we finally will solve this matter, please be aware that we're starting an hour earlier again at 23:00 GMT.

Your caring DM

My son's fiancé sent me a text earlier today, which although not unheard of is at least unusual enough to catch my eye.

She sent me a short note that said, "Just want you to know that you inspire me. Love you!"

I cried when I read it, and I am crying now as I type this.

She reminded me of something. Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, and although most of us just want to live our lives quietly and peacefully, attracting as little attention as possible, please help those you can to understand who you are - who we are.

Okay so I got a really big monkey that has been lately standing nearby throwing his wrench into my writing for the past year or so.

The Good: My little 9 year old wants to learn to play the violin, so I bought her one and have been teaching her. Also bought myself a new electric one. This caused me to get back into playing music and ended up buying myself a new 6 string guitar (gorgeous Fender with a mahogany top)

please join me in wishing the girly girl Jaci (AKA Tels) a very happy birthday!

Sometimes I just blurt out stuff I didn't know I was going to say until I said it.

I have been noodling the idea of a group of explorers who are taking clues which lead to different parts of North America and a hidden puzzle piece that only when all are found and everyone cooperates will lead to the ultimate treasure.

What I'm hoping for is a group of authors, each one following one of the teams looking for the answers through them finding a puzzle piece, and then one large story that would be about all the teams working together to get the treasure.

Would you want to be involved?

First I want to thank all of you that asked when the this third installment of Atalanta was coming and apologize for its lateness. Portions have been written for over two years but there are/were several reasons for the delays. Logistics played a big part in the delay as Atalanta was being considered for canon at one point but after deliberation she was turned down and that's okay. 18 months ago my daddy passed away and that drained my creative urges for a time.

There's been so much hate exhibited in the media recently that it was a pleasant surprise to read in today's New Zealand paper a respectful report on the unfortunate death of an early female to male transitioner http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objecti... . This reminded me that New Zealand was the first country to introduce votes for women and the first to have a woman who had transitioned as first a mayor and then as a member of parliament.

Well, it was a mixed bag of emotions at my daughter's birthday last night. I was very happy to have some time with her, of course, and the food was good, but the conversation ?

Well, not so much.

See, my mom started talking about my brother going to college, and my sister in law going to university, and how successful they were and are, but when it came to mentioning me ... well, let's just say I have had less success in my life.

I cant remember if I've mentioned it here, but I have been struggling for a while with needed new glasses, but its been a bear to get any traction on the issues. well, I finally managed to get things straightened out, and I should be getting a pair in the mail in about 2 weeks. Despite the fact that my errors made this take longer and be much more complicated than it had to be, I still want a adulting sticker, cause I persevered until it was done.

Well its officially Spring and we are now running on Summer time, even the suns out. But that's in contrast to the time line in the current Gaby postings where things are decidedly less nice!

So pop over and have a look at Crossed and be thankful that it's spring and not autumn!

Tschuss

Does anyone know what happened to Elsbeth and Barbara Allan.
I noticed that they have not updated their stories in several months'
I hope they are both well I greatly enjoyed there work.
I love Elbeth's Season of Change and Barbara Allan's White Wolf

I saw just this Feb 22, 2017 request for articles/poetry dealing with LGBTIQ issues. Read their site for details & decide for yourself if this is worthy of your efforts. (I know nothing about this organization or their integrity)

"The collection is open to submissions from anyone having been subjected to or closely affected by conversion therapy as well as anyone who stands in opposition to the practice. To allow time for new submissions, we have additionally extended the deadline for the call to April 15th. "

Doing some administration around SEE and associated works I realized that the Universe Rules were the same as when I first posted them ages ago.

Since the main tale is now complete, and many more facts have been published since I wrote the original rules, I have completely revised them. They now mostly describe things that are self-evident but will still provide a useful guide for anyone else attempting to write in that universe.
