I had a dream in which I was taking part, probably not completely voluntarily, in some sort of medical experiment which involved creating a baby with genetic material from three different people, me and two women, I think. I'm not sure what the purpose of the project was, and I think the baby was incubated somehow rather than implanted in somebody's womb. Anyway, in the dream I asked the people in charge if I could breastfeed the baby myself, implicitly asking them to give me lactating breasts, and it seemed that the request could and would be granted, but I woke up.

"We Think He Might Be a Boy"

The story of the Tiny Tornado, a five-year-old trans-boy, as told by his mother.

I just came across an old favorte, Marina Twelve's "Blind Sided", over on Sapphire's Place. The only problem is that I remember there being more than two parts to the story, and there are only two on SP. neither searching this site, nor Google yielded anything relevant.

Any Suggestions?

Especially interesting because it's the number of kudos I appear to have in my account. So once again my thanks to all who've contributed, I do appreciate it and Whizz thinks they taste wonderful - go figure.

After my blood tests were finished, I got on the scale just to see what it might indicate. To my shock, it showed that I had lost 25 POUNDS over the preceding couple of months!!!! No, I'm not suffering from some exotic wasting disease, not have I been ill in any other way, save for being sick of heat and humidity.

I found this highly inspirational, hopefully it will change your perception and/or help you wherever you are in your life.

It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking..

OK, I freely admit to the duality of my nature. On one hand, I am devout. On the other hand, were I married, things could go way over the top within the confines of our bedroom. It is probably a shock to some of you. In the time when I wished to kill my self, perhaps some will think I should have. Frankly I have an attachment to pain that I did not understand and felt considerable guilt over most of my life. I think only one or two of you actually do understand. I never acted on it they way I wished to.

Got lumbered with a long phone call from my needy friend and haven't got time to do Bike tonight. Hopefully tomorrow will be easier.

I am wondering about about a story. the lead character becomes robin a fashion model. I cant remember title. also a story about a m to f who becomes a top tv news reporter. any help is appreciated.

Once again I’m appealing for help in tracking down a story that I’ve lost in the maze of my hard drive archives. I think I last read the story within the last two years but I also think it had been hanging around on my hard drive for quite a while before I did read it so it could be as much as five years since it was posted... Somewhere! I believe that the story was quite long, maybe in the mid-twenties of chapters, though I can’t be sure if it was posted as individual chapters or as a single post. I can recall a little of the start and a little of the end...

Well, last night, the co-worker who I saw Star Trek with presented me with a bag a earrings, as she could tell I rather liked having something dangling from my lobes.

I just wanted to say that I have recently had the opportunity to chat with Ms Bishop, via e-mail, and have found her to be,
as are her stories, highly intelligent, and yet warm and approachable.

My background check came back all clear so I had to do some paper work this after noon. Tonight, I get to go in and work on the computer, doing tests on safety, harassment and other issues and maybe get a crash course in the store. So wish me luck. I have been up since 6 am and may be up till 6 am when I get home.

So as a yay go me, I am posting a new chapter to Through the years.

It is currently day 3 of my Florida vacation with my parents and my cousin, and a vacation means that I actually have the time to get back on the site again! Woo! But that time shall pass by briefly, as once I get back to Ohio I need to get back on my work/school thing.

Even with the tail end (at least, I *hope* it's the tail end) of a sudden squall is passing overhead as I'm typing this, it's been fun thus far and I'm looking forward to the sunset sailboat cruse that's lined up for tomorrow, pending the weather.

Hello again!

This is an updated Who's Who that contains certain spoilers if you haven't read the first book yet. So, go read that instead of this, alright? :)

We made our goal and thanks to everyone who contributed. I have a couple of checks here still to deposit that didn't get done because last week I was sick and the week before I was on vacation.

Many people think I am always sweet and kind. Last night I was a bitch.

I'm Sorry.

Background : After the intro chapter describing current events in Hong Kong where michael awakes from a night of passion with a 'male' colleague the previous chapter gave the background of events leading up to his trip to Hong Kong. It explained how Michael was thrilled to be promoted and suddenly found that instead of taking on new responsibilities with financial benefit he was to be discarded and made redundant. Worse than that he was being passed over for Vanessa who he often baled out and who was taking advantage of the Company.

Typing "The End", and "To Be Continued" was something I didn't think I'd ever do. I've written before; I've done writing in one form or another ever since I learned how to put letters together into words. But I've never actually written anything beyond twenty pages or so (for fiction, that is). This has been a very exciting, sometimes frustrating, but mostly enlightening experience. I think I like it :)

Here's another big thank-you to everyone who kept reading to the last page, for all the great advice, eye-opening critique, and clever speculations that sometimes had me in giggles. You're all wonderful people, and I'd love to write for you again soon!

All the hugs,

Here is a question from a psychological perspective. It is a question I have thought of many times and can't seem to place my finger on how I would answer it. I am curious as to how everyone else would answer.

You have to make a choice. It is either one or the other, but not both. What ever your choice is, it's permanent and your body is fixed, prohibiting you from making any alterations through means of surgery, hormone treatment, or any other means.

Yes I need help in the biggest way. I need to know where I can go to have a cover designed for my stories. I made a mess of Assassin and I don't want to make the same mistake with Show Me The Money. Can anyone recommend a reliable service? Arecee

Something for you to mull over while i'm away.

1. I'm thinking of producing Kindle versions of the Gaby books.
2. it looks like a lot of hoop jumping, is it worth it?

I saw this today and the information leaves me confused.

Cosmetic:

First off I'd like to start off this blog by taking a bit of a poll... I know I'm likely to get a broad range of answers, but I'm wondering what is your preferred length for a serial? I will try chose the more natural breaking points, but really its not that difficult with my writing style to find a good break points. Right now I'm leaning towards breaking things up into pieces ranging from about 3000 to 6000 words, but I was wondering what you guys and gals all thought.

Now on to the rest of the blog...

Dormouse Blog.

So, I've had an interesting week. I guess I should start from the beginning. I was hanging out with friends, and we watched pacific rim. after that we went out and had super nachos which is this big nacho plate. anyways. after that we broke up and it was just me and my friend who we all call Jacob or Jake. So we were driving around, chatting and the conversation shifts to high school and college. Basically, in my junior year, I dropped out got my GED, and lost contact with all my friends for a while. While growing up, I was trying to hide the fact I was transgendered from everyone.

This is a new extension to the friendly rule; titles and teasers that appear on the front page should be work safe and if there are non-work friendly images past the teaser, that should have a caution attached.

This means some of my own teasers would not have passed this test but I think we need to add this caveat. It applies to stories, blogs, links, and even comment subject lines. I will take what steps I think necessary to implement this, usually just modifying the teaser, tags or title slightly.

Hugs,
Erin

Well I must say I am a trifle confused.

Its entirely possible I will never get SRS.

Like the title says there might be some delay in the release of the next chapter of "a boy and his dog". My grandmother has taken a turn for the worse again and I have been spending my free time (and not so free time as well) sitting up with her. She is doing better, and we expect her to improve but I haven't had much time for writing. I have been hearing some pretty interesting family stories though, and we have both agreed that we need to run for president in 2016 since we know all the answers when we are watching the news. My Nanny is going to be running as my VP. :P

We're probably having more new material every day than ever before, so it's easy for earlier works to be forgotten. I asked Sephy to resurrect Stephanie's Deal as a retro-classic to remind readers who might have missed it before. I just finished reading Torey's 'Switching Playing Fields', and its sequel, 'On The Flip Side'; two stories with a lovely feelgood factor about them. I highly recommend them to those who haven't previously encountered them.

Well, last night I had one of those moments that make me wish I knew how to interact with people better.

Thought some of you might like to see what your TG Rights are in the US.

Someone I like and who's judgement I trust says I should say that. She didn't volunteer it: I asked for her opinion and she was kind and brave enough to give it.

I just wanted to thank all the authors who take the time to write & post the stories we all love so much KUDOS to all of you great creative minds plus thanks to all thiers muses for kicking butts to get they to get it done.
A few posts ago 1 of our readers asked about authors we have not heard from in a long time , to that point have you new & old readers gone back to read any of the great older posted stories you need to check them out.

of Book 9 is now available here on BC.

you know, re-reading Jenny Boylan's autobiographical books got me thinking how much things have changed for me recently.

I was rummaging through Fictionmania, and came across a couple of authors that I've read before, then let lie fallow, then picked up again - still wondering. Plus others :)

I seem to have developed a selective form of social anxiety.

Some time ago, when the editor of TGStories.com asked for submissions in fairly vague terms, I asked for submission guidelines and got no reply. Recently, I submitted a new story blindly, not knowing anything about the format or subgenres they prefer, and inquired about what publication rights they buy.

Dying father has last first dance with daughter
By: Gabe Gutierrez TODAY

From BBC I-player. A look at women in the UK in the 1960s. I'm not sure if this link will last very long (if it works at all).

A BBC4 film about the thespian couple who loved each other but couldn't live together. It was very well performed by Dominic West as Richard Burton and Helena Bonham-Carter as Liz Taylor. If you get a chance to watch it, do.
