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

Anne G.

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.

Was just reading that Boston Children's Hospital in Massachusetts has a special wing for transgendered children. At the moment additional staff is being added the clinic is so busy.

A few months ago, Piper approached me about publishing Becoming Robin. At first I was reluctant because I always said it would remain free, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I could reach a much wider audience by actually having it published, so I did. :-P It's not 100% the original story in that chapter 1 uses my revision to make the introduction a little more subtle and, IMO, professional.

Bear in mind it was my first novel, so it needed some work, but the... Spirit... *ducks the rotten tomatoes* is the same.

Hello everyone

i am looking for a story that i read a few years ago
i till remember the main character is moved a long way from home i think a relative like an aunt or sister is taking her in but the main part is that the character catches a baseball to avoid a little girl getting hit with it

thank you for your help

Carpe Diem

I just found a copy of this off ebay. It's a kids picture book (about third grade level) about a girl who tells how her twin brother wound up as a bridesmaid at their aunt's wedding. The kids were English, but the aunt lived in Australia. She never realized that 'Jo' was a boy and when she got married she asked the sister to be a bridesmaid. The family didn't realize that Jo was included in that invitation. In order to not ruin the wedding, Jo (who is about ten) is forced to play the girl during the ceremony (the aunt just thinks Jo is tomboyish, and never finds out the truth).

So it just came across my twitter feed that "AMAZON IS HIDING LGBT BOOK REVIEWS!", and my knee-jerk reaction was of course, "WHAT?!"

But then I looked into it, and I think I get where Amazon is coming from on this issue. Namely: not everyone who reads LGBT fiction is "out and proud" nor do they want their Trump supporter anti-LGBT sister/cousin/parent/boss who knows their Amazon profile name, to know that they read/reviewed Tiffany and the Amazon Orgy (Just a made up name... I hope :P)

I'm not a computer gamer but this caught my eye.

I'm not sure about viewing it from outside the UK though.

She came out as Gay but she still didn't feel right.
The Gaming Fans seem to have accepter her very well which is a refreshing change,

I'm challenging everyone....

I retired after a sextuple bypass surgery last May. I've been getting by on Social Security spoual survivor. Next month I begin MY Social Security. Needless to say my funds are tight.

However, Big Closet is important to me. So important I,m willing to tap into my personal IRA retirement funds to do so.

I sent $250 on 3/17. After Erin's plea I just decided to again send $250. I'm not bragging... I'm saying that Big Closet is that important to me... and I hope for you!

Please support BC!

Well, my weekend did not go as planned, as I spent it bent over the toilet instead of being able to do stuff.

As a result, my attempts to publish my short story collection have been delayed, as have been my writing in general.

I'll post another update on the status of the story collection and when you guys might be able to expect more chapters of Mercy from me when I have more info to share, promise.

Thanks to phydeau for the heads up.
Many of you are not into this subject. That is as it should be. For me it is not a job but life for I have softly pushed, shared, consoled, enlightened, and debated transgender rights and issues forever it seems.
