Toni’s weekend is over, which means it’s back to being boring old man Tony at work, right? She’s had a lot of fun from Friday to Sunday but doesn’t know if it’ll be enough to see her through to clocking out at the end of the week, when she gets to live her life again.
It really is a case of putting her head down and getting through the week, the same as it ever was, except now there’s something to look forward to at the end of that tunnel. Has Toni been changed, though? Is it possible for her to parcel away all that happened? Can man Tony simply get on with a normal five days of work when woman Toni is itching to get out? Or is Tony now more Toni than even they realise themselves?
---------------------
A new, updated version of 'Toni With An i is' available on swolle.eu with the name of The Pattern In My Chest. There's also some fun stuff like very silly promo images and some pop banger playlists, do check it out!
The Toni With An I story is improved in many ways. All the parts I have ready for an imminent release will be released on that site in the coming weeks, then as an ePub. All of the story remains free on that site, my personal site, and the plans are for the ePub to be available for free, too. Later parts not yet edited for a soon-to-come release will remain on BCTS. You can get two goes at Toni, the early version and the later version.
Thanks for the support, here, staff and readers! New writing from me will continue to appear on BCTS. This place is too valuable to trans fiction to ever ignore the impact it's had on so many people!

Jackson is coming down for me.
very cool. wish more businesses could see the advantages of tolerance .
made me smile
the conversation between toni and jackson was cute the conversation between the girls at the bar was great liking it so far please post more
e that was good !
Really enjoyed that chapter except for the rogue "e" you used in the word whisky! The e is only used in the name of the poor substitute brewed in the Emerald isle and sold to unsuspecting American customers! I chatted with a cute barman in Florida who had just returned from Scotland and admitted he had no idea the difference until he tasted the "Ooshka Ba" (Water of life) in the land of its birth. Since then he has only sold the "e" version where customers were going to ruin it with cola or some other spoiler. I must see if Jackson is a whisky expert or not - he sounds like someone I could share a dram or two with !!
Seriously loving your work Ms Woolly!
Hugs&Kudos!

Whiskey? E or Not?
Oooh! Provocative! I don't think I can agree with that. Firstly, Light Avenue is a no judgment bar, at least out loud. If someone orders a $300 whisk(e)y and fills up the glass with diet coke sure, the bartender might cringe inwardly, but no-one's going to say anything, not directly. It's your drink and if that's how you enjoy it that's how you enjoy it. Light Avenue is about people being true to themselves, and helping them find that truth. If someone was to start a rant about how you're spoiling your drink with a coke then there might be a doddery old Trevor taking the ranter aside for long, very boring chat about how everyone enjoys things their own way. :P
As for the actual whiskey/whisky, there's good drinks from all over the world. No-one has a monopoly on it. There's good Irish, Scottish, American, Japanese, even Canadian whiskey. I believe India is trying it now. It's just about finding the right one. All the countries have different typical flavours, and I do agree with you a little that Ireland has been a bit better at establishing itself in the affordable whiskey market. But that's because they're genuinely good at it. A basic, standard whiskey from Ireland I find will be better than a basic, standard whisky from Scotland. But everywhere has very unique, extremely nice drinks, at every price point. It's just about finding them. Which is another thing Light Avenue is for, exploring things, yourself, others, even alcohol (it is a bar!) in a place where it's safe.
It makes me really happy, however, to see that readers are picking up from the story that the various people in it are expressing themselves and discovering who they are through things like taste, expression, etc. and in Jackson's case the creativity of alcohol.
Thanks for the message, Suzi. I could very well be thinking over it with a nice whiskey in the bar this evening.
Better and better!
Ms.W, this fine tale just gets better and better! “I think I can resist a little while longer,” she says. Well, maybe she can, and maybe she can’t— jury’s out on that score, and I know where I’m moving my chips — but I can’t! Your story is irresistible. Hell, you’ve even got corporate pukes being nice. I want to go there!

Every Step
Thanks for the kind words, Emma. It means a lot that you've supported me every step of the way of this story. Especially about the pleasant-ness of it all.
I will admit I'm having a little internal struggle about where conflict will come from. I have a few ideas of where some threat or doubt could sneak in but I've gotten to a point where things have gone so well it's troubling for me to break against what's been happening so far. Especially the idea that the first bit of threat or contention could be seriously damaging to people, especially Toni.
I don't want to completely whitewash over all the bad in the world. I think it's obvious at this point pretty much every character in the story will find support if they look for it, if something bad does happen. It's how to do it justice.
