So, I finally got moved into my palace in the sky (4th floor) down by the river. Everything was going fairly smoothly until I started dealing with our Government. Social Security was actually not too bad if one can accept the hour and a half of divining their secrets of joining on line. Wow, talk about secret squirrel !

www.Patreon.com is a crowdfunding site, kind of like Kickstarter or Indiegogo, but Patreon is concerned with ongoing funding. The idea is that someone who creates online content can get continuing funding from a group of people in return for doing what they would probably do anyway. I'm looking into it with the idea of creating chapters of Kelly Girl in return for funding to go to BigCloset.

Would anyone be be interested in supporting this idea? Does anyone else contribute to someone thru Patreon or get funds from Patreon?

Any thoughts?

The new skin looks great. So fresh and inviting - really love it.

I've just written a new standalone story. I've marked it as complete but can't find how to set it to Standalone, so it's in the Serials section.

Can you help me, please?

Incidentally, all my kudos points seemed to have disappeared. Is this temporary, or are they gone for ever?

I know it was there, but now it is gone. What happened. We were just getting ready for a donnybrook!

So glad to see BC back up.
Have to use IE to get here, Fire fox not working right only will go to the Were working on it page.

That's where my student loans are sitting right now, with a total value of 3,184 dollars and a handful of cents. On the plus side, this is down from the near 10k I owed previously. On the downside, after having spent the day calling the various offices and figuring out what, if any, help I could get, the general consensus is that after so long they have little in the way of leniency for my debt, so forgiveness and/or lowered values are pretty much off the table.

Who can blame any girl wanting the freedom of boys, especially in the worst country in the world to be born female, according to the UN. However, there can be a sting in the tale, as soon as they begin developing as female adults, they're expected to revert to their biological sex and begin acting like normal females, have children and so on.

We spent a week without internet. My DSL went down Thursday the 12th. That happens now and then and they are usually pretty good about getting it back up. However, it was still out Friday after work. I suppose I should have called right then, but we had things to do and would be out 'til late, then Saturday there was this family outing. Long story short, I didn't make the call until Monday. I was told they could get a tech out Thursday morning. Thursday evening and no tech.

Just wanted to pass along a heads-up regarding the new movie "Boxtrolls" - according to reports on Facebook, the movie is very anti-trans, hitting all the low points. The villain apparently dresses up as a woman as part of his schemes, he's sexually embarrassed almost continually while dressed, when he is finally unmasked he attempts to destroy everybody while still in a dress but minus the wig, and worst of all, some of the men who were harassing him say that they dodged a bullet insofar as they didn't do worse than grope him.

The BBC has a nice piece on Red Clothes and their history.

I have a problem and im stumped. I have written a story almost to the middle. I think its good but not as written. I have thought of a better way to start it and write the first half. It wont change my plans for the second half. But, its a totally different start up to the half point. What do I do? Just write it from then and later change the start, or rewrite the whole damn thing

Have any of you writers here even encountered a problem like this and what did you do

Well, pink pajamas has probably run its course and I've managed to piss a few people off, but when don't I piss people off. I got a nice message saying how someone will never read anything I ever write and I think someone has a voodoo doll and has been stabbing my keyboard.

I'd say they did darn good on their choreography.
They still walk like guys.

Have a idea for a story. But need help with proofreading and editing hope someone can help me out

I just wanted to encourage people to comment on stories, by pointing out a few things.

Lifeswap by Maeryn Lamonte

How much is too much?

I havw circa 555 pages that can get the whole thing in one daring dowload, or I COULD RELEASE IT IN chapters

Let me on Beth "

Work got bad, to the point where I was so tired, I was coming home and going right to bed. I tired to finish the next part of Tracy over the past two weeks, but at work it gets hard, with just 15 minutes and a half hour lunch. But i got it to the editors.

I was also setting up something for the contest. An idea that came to me one night. So yeah, got sidetracked. Hope's ranch has suffered too.

I really should be careful what I say, things have got in the way of so much this week!

So I got back home, after days of traffic jams (bloody C Y C L I S T S - we even got caught up in the tangled web of closed and opened streets due to the end of the Tour of Britain !!!!) and getting a virus on the computer from a CD of photos that some a..h... had given my elderly recently-widowed aunt, and I unpacked all the goodies into the fridge (British sausage, bacon, and just a hint or two of individual pork pies, along with some Cheddar!!!!).

All well and good, and all the comforts of home, and a reasonable night's sleep for a change.

My apologies for my lack of clarity. Many people are on sites like BC because some of those authors are some of the finest story writers to ever live. If you are one of those who are not interested in TG issues, if you are here for the great stories, please ignore me and accept my most sincere apologies for my endless posts on the TG subject.

I don't know what I touched but twice I've lost tonight's manuscript for Bike. If it happens again, £400 worth or not, I'm going to smash this heap of crap into a million pieces. I may or may not post tonight.

I had a friend send me this and I thought you guys might like it.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

My cat, Muffin, died yesterday morning from complications of cancer. She not only owned me. She owned others in the Evil Witch/Little Kids Kamp family including Holly Hart, Maggie the Kitten and Debby Bishop (the superintendent of the Little Kids Kamp schools). She was a very loving cat. She loved to climb anything she could reach. She will be sorely missed.

Notes:
I still sometimes think I hear her meow.
She was one of the ancestors of the sabertooth cat (Felix incisor) at Little Kids Kamp.

So far so good. The Apartment House has WI-Fi and it s better than I thought it would be. Don't know about SKYPE or Movies yet.

On Wednesday it was in the eighties, and we were fighting with our AC to try and get it to cool the house down.

Today it's not even reached 60, and I'm curled up in my room with a hoodie on.

Every hero story needs a Villein, and I want you to rate mine.

Does any body know why Jessica Ash removed her stories ?
She had posted "My Hidden V" and "Anemonefish"

Peace tmf

Sorry run out of time. The shit that my life has become in recent months continues. At times it feels like everything I have is being tested or destroyed. Now it's my car which is going to cost a lot to repair and get through the MOT, earlier on Bonzi was attacked by another cat. My daughter is still suffering her fatigue, which is worse since Huw's untimely death, and working for the NHS remains very much a case of lions led by donkeys.

As I have already admitted to being terrible at tagging my stories. I am hoping that one of Erin's elves will look it over and add any that I missed. Happy reading.. Joe

Can someone direct me to the rules for the back to school story contest. I am thinking I might have one that will work, but want to review the rules before I post it.

Well Nena and myself are back from our German Odyssey and its nearly business as usual!

There is a new Gaby chapter here and an update on maddybell.com.

Wish me luck please, Cathy, Bev, and Beth and anyone else who's listening. Tomorrow morning I am moving to a place that has nursing care available should I need it. AND, it will be $250/Mo cheaper than where I am now. Hopefully, this will enable me to resume writing and have a bit of peace.

Pulling the plug now on SKYPE and will perhaps be back on line by Friday?

Much peace

We have so of the must wonderful Author ever . I send P M's to the authors about the stories and always get a response and a big heart felt thank you from them . First that I take the time to thank them for the time and effort to write & post and second they our honored that I take the time to read the stories they work so hard writing.
I just sent Mary Beth Sanford a thank you for posting stories . I had sent her a email on her personal email account and was so excited that she read my email and listened to me about posting here at BCTS .

It is transgender fiction of course.

The next chapter of Unaccounted Gains, number 30, may take a day or two as I've deleted a 1000 words from the draft chapter and commencing a rewrite. Unfortunately I wrote myself into a corner that would have taken a miracle to get out of. It was a shame as the dialogue was pretty snappy.

Eve reposts will continue on a 1 or 2 day basis until Book 1 ends, then there will be a break until book 2 starts.

There's no timescale for Tammy to be reposted as yet but I might produce a few standalones as time permits.

From the Guardian - where else? - a transpride march in Brighton. Did you know there's a trans flag? No nor did I. Dunno if I'm getting old, but the fact that it appears most of the population of the earth is now deciding it's transgender is getting a bit passé. Anyway for those who want to read it...

http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/sep/08/-sp-trans-pri...

Well, I got the green light from my church to prepare a lecture on being trans. It was suggested that I make it a mix of facts and my own personal experience. So ... any suggestions, ideas, or resources you guys know about that will help me do this?

I'm unable to post an episode of Bike because I haven't had time to write one, I know it looks as if they've been scribbled on the back of an envelope in ten minutes, but it actually takes me a bit longer than that.

A beautiful person sent me this data and I'm sharing it with the BC family. First I want to say never judge another person by what you see. The clothes, the mortal body is only a covering. What and who that person is, isn't always what we see. The real beauty is deeper than looks. Some of you will understand, others not so much, and a few will think I've gone off the deep end. There is nothing in or on this earth that is what you think it is. I wish I could share with you my life, my experiences, what I see, and have seen. In time you will see and understand yourself.

Usually I do a release and then wait to post the story on the site, but this time I did it a little backwards. I doubt it would make a difference one way or another. But my new short "Pink Pajamas" is now available on Amazon. It's only 99 cents or if you belong to Kindle Unlimited (which I think is a good idea if you read a ton) you can add it to your library that way.

Synopsis: When Francine finds her son's diary and a pair of pink pajamas it puts life in perspective.

A short story of 5000 words.
