Author's Commentary on Somewhere Else Entirely: Chapters 11 to 14

These chapters have the usual typographical tweaks but there are a number of questions which arose here and others which had later implications.

The shopping season

Christmas and Valentine’s Day are two times a year to easily shop for your alter ego with no questions and minimal apprehension. Take advantage of it.

Karen is still in hospital and doesn't have internet access so asked me to let everyone know that she is much better and hopes to go home this Tuesday. She's looking forward to seeing her cat; also catching up on various BC stories and starting to write again. I know we are all looking forward to reading more about the adventures of Ellen and Ginny in the sequel to "Gene's Story".

well I'm not feeling very seasonal today at least.

I have sent two new Gaby chapters for editing, my Chrimbo shopping is pretty much complete and you might just get the next arc of Book 18 before the weekend.

Today you get Cheeky Chiba Chappie to read - the continuation of the Wunderkinds Japanese adventure.

For today that's it I'm afraid

Crap. One of my favorite singers, Laura Branigan, has passed away.

Darn it, 2016 is apparently not done messing with us ...

I just read an sample on Amazon of a story that I read here. I don't remember the name here or the author here but this Amazon 'author' has placed 5 books in the last month; two in this series. The story is about two secret agents with the sidekick swapping consciousness with a woman and goes undercover as her. It was a story I never finished but he/she is sold to a drug lord on a ship.

Okay, I was only going to post the article but my blood is boiling. The ill informed, self righteous bigots are already out with their lies, and regurgitated false medical science. I'm sure everyone here can find the filth without my help. BUT just in case you're lost grab your air sick bag and give this one a go. How many minds are going to believe this tripe thinking it is factual science????????

30 Chapters long over on fanfiction.net is 'A life changing journey' posted there by deathy-cool
Harry gets kidnapped to a different school, yet appears as a female when arriving at the school. This school is in a different dimension with accelerated time flow. 1 year with no Harry at Hogwarts is long enough at the school that Harry is adult. This one takes place during the Prisoner of Azkeban year. Definitely an interesting read.

I wanted to share a story that might encourage anybody who is dealing with a phobia.

For most of my life, I had a serious phobia about bees. I had been stung as a kid, and after that I couldn't stand to be anywhere near a bee.

Then, one day, I found this video put out by (I think) National Geographic called "Why Bumblebees couldn't run an airport".

Someone had slipped a tiny camera inside a hive, and the result was ... life changing for me.

Hi everyone

Got back home last e'en from an exhausting trip around the NRW (Nord Rhein Westfalia) region of Germany. Gab's dragged me from Muenster in the north to Aachen in the west and south as far as Bonn to enjoy the pleasures of the Weihnachtsmarkts. It was a gruelling week, 28 market sites in 11 different towns and cities which added 27 beverage containers to my burgeoning Gluehwein mug collection! Hopefully next week, when we've recovered a bit, i'll post an A to er S of the trip complete with pictures.

She's focusing on erotic fiction.

I tend to prefer longer romantic stories, but I sometimes enjoy erotic stories, ... and I think we need more erotic fiction by trans people, for trans people, so we can reclaim our bodies and our sexualities.

If you're interested, here's the Kickstarter:

I believe gender shouldn't be an either or choice. In my just completed story "Old friend,New love" I tried to present two people trying to find a new balance in their gender expression. In the process they find someone that loves both sides.

Not many percieved it that way. But I would like some feedback. How would describe the characters Kevin/Kate and Chris/Chrissie on a masculine/feminine scale. For example Kevin/Kate 10%M/80%F (yes it doesn't need to add up to 100% if you feel some uncertanty).

new imp story started by Morpheus is posted on whateleyacademy.net. this has the imp start as a teacher at whateley. do not know when it will be posted here.

In 1849, it was written in the Polite Manual for Young Ladies:

“Novel-reading strengthens the passions, weakens the virtue, and diminishes the power of self-control. Multitudes may date their ruin from the commencement of this kind of reading; and many more, who have been rescued from the snare, will regret, to the end of their days, its influence on the early formation of their character. It is, too, a great waste of time. . .If you wish to become weak-headed, nervous, and good for nothing, read novels."

Just wondering if I am the only one who obsessively checks their stories and blog posts for comments and such?

Every time I post a story or comment, I seem to take on a compulsive need to keep checking how many people have read it, what comments have been made and if people are giving any indication of liking it. Am I the only person who is weird like that, or is it a common phenomena that I have weirdly adapted anyways?

Today I am officially starting my third decade of life.

Interestingly enough, I've been a contributing member of BCTS for just short of a third of the time I've been on the face of the planet! Weird huh?

This blog started as a result of a comment added to a story I read earlier

What am I or what are you is something we often consider, and a lot of what follows has appeared in one form of expression or another in various stories and blogs over the years

I am male, and have female mannerisms outwardly male and female inwardly, I love to cross dress, be a transvestite and dont consider myself to be transgender - Female in male body or even male in a female body or what ever the label "transgender" means.

Funny,I keep wondering when I 'll get through this recovery..One of the things that keep me going is being a woman.and that can not change When I figured out transitioning was something I had to do I took the fast track(meaning I did not hold back),no regrets, only joy.

This is a first for me in two ways, first time I've written a blog here on BC/TS, and first time EVER that I've asked for help on a story anywhere.

I was sleeping well enough about an hour ago when I had a dream, it showed images that made me cringe, but for all of that, I just couldn't get them out of my head. I woke up a few minutes later and those images were still centre stage in my mind. It's been an hour now, but I'm still thinking about those few brief images, and how I could use them as the basis of a chilling, yet realistic modern forced femme story.

In a conversation I just had with an ER Doctor, he asked me if during my SRS surgery, had the surgeon removed my Prostate Gland? Back in 2007, when mine was done, I do not think they were doing that because it was felt that the proceedure was too dangerous to the nerves and blood vessels.

Apparently some or all surgeons are now doing it orthoscopically as a part of SRS. Are any of you aware if this change in surgical procedure has been implemented or is the ER Doctor wrong?

A paranormal organisation who have managed to pick up thousands of online followers (Spiritual Research Foundation) have debuted their own daft theory on the predominant cause of homosexuality - posession by ghosts and "subtle-sorcerers" from hell. They apparently believe most gay men are possessed by female ghosts, and lesbian women possessed by male ghosts (!).

I damaged my car this morning, I was in serious pain all day and feeling sick to my stomach so I couldnt take anything, the pain set off my PTSD, so I spent most of the day fighting panic attacks ..

Sighs ... just another day ...

huggles appreciated, folks.

Hey Everyone!

This is just a note to let you know that we are getting ready to release some new features and upgrades to BigCloset. Some of these upgrades have been attempted in the past and broke a lot of our custom changes to the front page.

So it is entirely possible they will break again, but I promise you I will be working just as fast as possible to get everything working again.

Unfortunately while I've tried to put off these upgrades because of the havoc they may cause, they have recently become urgent.

John Glenn passed away today.

All the heros are getting old and dieing, and I don't see people to take their places. Each generation should have heros, real bonafide heros.

Ab heute läuft im Kino mit Alle Farben des Lebens ein Film der f2m Transition thematisiert.

Trailer: Alle Farben des Lebens

This appeared in my Facebook News:

To the man in the JC Penney bathroom today-

I have recently gotten bored re-reading the same things over and over. I have seen a few people over the past couple years suggest other authors universes i have fully enjoyed. Some being the Chakat universe by Bernard Doove, FreeRIDErs on shifti, and MORF's.

Any and all suggestions would be wonderfully appreciated.

Unable to narrow to a specific Universe, mutation story, but parents part of hate group, Character called, Mortimer/Mort until after manifestation, sister adopts.
Highschool, takes job in kitchen at café/restaurant, saves some staff from fire in same.

An update on Karen's condition from her cousin says that she is making good progress but may have to spend some time in rehabilitation. She was really quite sick and is still not well enough to receive and respond to messages. I will pass on any messages via her cousin, and I'm sure we're all keeping our fingers crossed for her to make a full recovery.

Well guys it's that time of the year again. I'd like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year. To quote Tiny Tim from A Christmas Carol. "God bless us everyone."

I have just posted a new Alexa B-Side story today. I had stated when I posted the Dick at the Bar B-Side last night that I had a second story related to chapter 11 of Alexa in the works. This is not that story, I am still working on that story. This story comes directly from a recommendation from a comment posted on Dick at the Bar. I thought it was an excellent idea and ran with it this morning.

I know that comments about the Daily Mail newspaper tend to be somewhat non-supportive, however I feel that the article featuring India Willoughby (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-3997244/We-changin...) is helpful.

The Black Ring is mental fantasy. Dissociative Disorder or "multi-personality" disorder is not clearly understood. Some in psychiatry doubt whether it even exists. I decided to use multi-personality disorder in this story after being inspired by a number of TG works that featured a "spirit" or "ghost" of the female gender in a male body and vice versa. I was also inspired by the movie Me, Myself, and Irene starring Jim Carrey and A Beautiful Mind starring Russel Crowe.

I'm going to watch Tom Hanks' latest film, 'Sully' tonight, so I'll probably be too late to write Bike. Had a nice day for my birthday and the fresh cream sponge I ordered to take to my committee meeting was really good.

Has any body has any news about Ellen Hayes the author of The Saga of Tuck?
The last post on her site was 12 September 2013.

Peace and Love tmf

I was scanning the Darwin Awards and found this entry. I've read quite a few stories of accidental castration that resulted in a sex change, but I've never seen this particular approach.

The Thing Ring

To begin with Tree Hugger is a story I began more than a few years ago and had been forgotten. Lost in an archive until...

A few weeks ago I had a catastrophic computer failure. My motherboard died. That computer had some <cough> exotic parts in it that let it our preform everything built for its first 5-6 years of life and even after 13 years of perfect service allowed it to keep up with all but the high end gaming PCs built today.

What we don't know about the human body and mind would fill all the world's library's several times over. We guess, we experiment, we do trial and error. Sometimes we get it right but usually we make a thousand errors. Usually making things worse than they were before we started trying to fix something.

I came across a story long ago in which due to some kind of punishment two friends have to attend a prom as a punishment.
The one who has to o as a girl whines a lot about being him as the girl of the two and the other of course as a boy. The mother of the "girl" assures "her" that this is also a punishment for "her" friend as he has to endure the embarrassment if it was found out that he has attended the prom with a boy and not a girl. Thanks in advance.

A few things happened this week that caused me to look at unfinished stories on my list and then I heard a radio announcer advertise a BBC Radio programme called 'Jamie and the Piano Man - A Billy Joel Special'.
I read several stories again checking for work I needed to do to tidy up and fulfil a promise.

My favourite posting from my own list is 'Sing me a Song Mr Piano Man' and I wondered if authors might consider the same and pick their favourite stories from their own lists that gave them the most satisfaction (and did not necessarily receive the most kudos.)

Karen Lockhart has asked me to let readers of her stories know that she is not well at present. She's in hospital ICU with respiratory issues but is stable. However there may be a delay in starting her next story - 'Ginny's Story' which is the sequel to 'Gene's Story'.

I'm keeping in regular touch with her cousin and will report any developments.
