Families, who can live with them?

The next time I mention something about my family being nice, someone please have the guts to put me out of my misery? Please

I have grossly overestimated how much free time I would have while moving to my new apartment and my mother visiting.

Chapter 3 of Kregg's Story is almost complete.

Two subjects came to mind for this, my first blog entry in months. As the first is a bit too short to warrant its own entry, I'll include it here with subject #2, the main thing I wanted to discuss.

Hello all,

I was wondering what would be the general consensus if I redid Maiden of Magic, as I kind of remastering. Any thoughts?

I just posted part 1 of a multipart Whateley Fan-Fic to the Crystal Hall in the fan-fic area of the forum. So far, I have a LONG story outlined. (Okay, it's no Morpheus epic tale, but then nothing but a Morpheus epic tale is a Morpheus epic tale!) Because of this, I'm posting it in parts, and metering it out so that by the time I get to the being ready to post the end of Kayda 1, I will have written the last part of Kayda 1.

What would Donald say, or Walt? (Actually what will the Disney Legal team say?)

It's been several months since I last posted anything on BC. This is because I went to see my doctor about what I thought was a minor medical problem. Within hours I was admitted to hospital with a serious, life-threatening illness. I have spent many weeks in hospital and am now having treatment as an outpatient.

As I general rule, I always picture myself as a bottom rung kind of person who is trying to get to the next level but always seem to have some difficulty. I hardly ever see myself as popular or good at something and that mindset helps me continue working and improving. I oft times have this theory that something bad is going to happen and that people general dislike me for various reasons. I know my writing doesn't appeal to everyone, but whose does?

Yes, I am still in the land of the living, but work has me jumping. I am working on both Through the years and Hope's Ranch. I know I've been horrible about updates, but I have been trying to build a buffer or stuff that is ready first.

Hopefully things will get better and I can dedicate time to writing.

There is something I've always wondered about. Some authors seem to refuse to real world references. They write a story set in the US, but the characters shop at stores called Q*Mart, drink Fake Cola, eat at Tennessee Fried Chicken, and so on. Other authors seem to have include a TM or Copyright sign after every trademarked or copyrighted name. I don't see this in mass market fiction. Are those authors afraid of being sued? If I'm Coca Cola I'm suing someone with money, not some unknown writer on the internet.

Can someone that does that, or did that explain why?

There was a surprise cross-reference in Temptation of Anya - Part 3, but apparently nobody noticed it, or if they did notice, they didn't comment or PM me about it. DID anyone notice it, or was I too subtle? I thought it was as blatant as a 2x4 across the forehead!

I was web surfing and happened across an article entitled "National Let Your Boy Be a Girl Day" An interesting idea. I definitely could have used such a day when I was growing up. My family tried to toughen me up (see my "Silence is Golden")but it didn't work. I only hid my femininity (not entirely successfully) until after I was married and had a child.

Well, to those two or three who wonder what mischief I am up to, I am gone until the 28th or so.

I am looking for a story. In it there is a boh who is staying someplace else, as his parents are out of country. While at the other place. The son there picks on him so he goes to ride his bike and is hit and pinned under the car. He loses his male parts and a nurse keeps putting makeup on him in the hospital. Any ideas?

So, I have just been reading some Anne McCaffrey, and some A.G. Riddle on Kindle and having a relaxing time of it.

I just finished reading Wes Boyd's The Girl in the Mirror, and was very impressed. While not trans myself, it struck me as being a very good novel following a trans girl through her late adolescence, RLT, and following on post-op. Very sympathetic, very well written. I heartily recommend it to all of you.

There are days that are so f'ing depressing where nothing goes right, and you have to wonder why keep trying? Still have a bad headache from the concussion that makes concentrating - and thus work - very difficult, so I'm getting further behind every day. Son's truck died inexplicably on the freeway yesterday, which means more $$$ I can't afford. Oldest is home from college and already making a mockery of house rules, and I'm getting zero backup from my spouse.

Alyssa Brugman has written a book about an intersex character who goes from boy to girl. See the article at the Guardian.

How many people really care about what happens to Jenny from the God Bless the Child series? Would anyone be interested in seeing a story from when she is in high school?

We have a new story in The Hatbox, btw, by Angela Rasch, author of the "Voices Carry over Water" that is still on the front page for free for another day or so. Angela's new work is called: Sexy, Cute and Popular by Angela Rasch

Here's the blurb:

I hate to sound like a Catholic Nun or something. Several of you from BCTS are my friends on Facebook and everyone has respected my caveat about being too open about T stuff there until now.

Sorry, keep falling asleep, had my needy friend on the phone for an hour, so I'm off to bed.

Hopefully better luck tomorrow.

One for the more esoteric verse on gender subjects but which doubtless some will enjoy.

OH, my goodness. I was doing some fiddling about, calculating the cost of Petrol in the UK ! Glory be, it it really about $8.25 per US Gallon there? It appears to be around 1.30p. My goodness.

Maybe there is intelligent life in government after all.

A rant is not fiction.

I'm really excited today. I finally finished a part of my writing and posted it.

Well, today is my fifth anniversary here on Big Closet!

TV show "Drop Dead Diva" has a segment on a female to male student not being allowed to use the boys restrooms in a private school. (Hugs) Talia

Back in January 2011, I couldn't believe I'd written episode 1234 of Bike. I wondered if I'd get to 2345. Now I know the answer. Why? is probably best not asked. Astonishingly, there are one or two people still reading it - still, there's no accounting for taste.

My best wishes to all my readers and thank you for encouraging and supporting me this far. I'm not making any predictions about 3456 even I might have run out of ideas by then - or will I?

Hugs,

Angharad

Well, happy Mother's day, everyone.

If you can, be kind to a mother. Your mother for preference, but you can pick another mother if you need to ...

I was reading up about obsolete electronics today, as I am wont to do, when I started looking into SCART connections. It specifies that these were primarily a European thing, and I've honestly never seen one in the US, but reading about them it's obvious they had superior video quality to anything available here in the US prior to component, though for the life of me I can't seem to find information on WHY they didn't pick up in the US.

So, anybody know why? I'd like to know, if just to sate my curiosity.

Found a story the other day and lost the link to it. It starts off with a mother and her son taken captive by a serial sexual assault prison escapee. They are tied up in an old shed and both are repeatedly raped and other assault crimes. He had decided to kill them both but the police arrived just in time. Mother and son are both severely traumatized.

Well, I had a dental appointment yesterday, and I am in pain, but at least its over with.

The other day someone brought up a name that I knew but haven't heard in quite a while publicly.

That name was Wanda Cunningham.

Well, Jaci is gonna have a laugh about this, but last night, I was talking to a co-worker about my transition, and I mentioned how nervous I was starting out.

Her response?

I ran across this today while looking for information for a story. Since I know others have requested information about space travel and the craft to get you there I thought I would give everyone a heads up! Yes, Gwen I'm talking about you! :) I have no idea as the accuracy but it does seem to go over the basics.

Hey, they mention Heinlein and Clarke so they can't be wrong can they!

Hugs

Oops! I forgot to put in the site link! My bad! :)

For those of you who have been following my blog for the last week know I've been doing some kind of weird experiment on Amazon.

I'm betting this one will start a few story writers imagination on fire.
3D printers are able to print out people's faces and body parts.

The Root of the Pain & Desperation of the Past has been uplifted whole healing flesh behind...

For the few people that may be interested "Away With The Faeries" and "April Fooled!" are now available again on Amazon. Their sequels WILL continue on here as they are written but I am hampered by relocating for a new job, so may be very sporadic! :-(

I´ve just seen some basketball match on TV and had funny idea. What if some disortographic wizard misspelled basketball as bastetball? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastet) What would consequences be? Would all players turn into furry cats playing with ball? How would they cope? I´m quite tempted to turn this into story somehow... though I´m not sure if it is enough as story base. What do you think? I´d appreciate your comments.
Thank you.

Well after carefully thinking about it, I decided to change the pic of Beth for Ch.5 of Clownfish. The pic I had of her did look a little old as a few people pointed out. She looked a little plain for an Alpha as well. I hope this new one fits better. Its more of what I had in mind when I envisioned her in my head :)

Take a look at Ch.5 if you're interested or just wait until Ch.6 when I release it sometime later this week or the beginning of next :)

Perhaps a matter of perspective though sometimes I wonder if this is my perception of my own bizarre gender appreciation.

Da Interwebz is sick. Not that kind of sick but there is a problem going on between two of the large backbone companies that carry massive amounts of internet traffic. They seem to have a fiber-optic switch they share that is dropping about 5% of the traffic that passes thru it. That's only about .005% of all the traffic in the US but the starting number is HUGE!

I was accosted in the hospital last night.
