The Redhead and the PM - Sort of a Heads Up

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

The Redhead and the PM is forty (40) chapters long. I have it set up for 21 postings; however, some of the final proofing for the latter chapters is not completed. Specifically, some of the UK unique things haven't been gone over by someone who knows. I made many errors in the first few chapters out of ignorance. That's because, as much as I try, I haven't learned enough British unique language and geography features from my five trips to England, and watching PBS. So, the posting will take a while. Right now, just the first twelve chapters are mostly ready to go.

Well, its been kinda a good news/bad news day. To start with the bad news, I got a reply of sorts to the reply I had sent to the fellow on the christian support group. Unfortunately, it was less than charitable, or at least that is how I saw it. At the moment I was reading it, I was on a down, so it was like a slap to my face. But, (and this is the good news) fortunately, some christian friends of mine were online, and comforted me. Then, to make things even better, I got a gift from Richie (our fellow author here on BC) - a pair of very nice wigs.

I wanted to just introduce me and my likes to gain thought on if I should write more?

I am a crossdresser of many many years and love the idea of being not forced but persuaded to go further into SRS and transition. I also adore smokng and have a major fetish myself to smoke when dressed. I don't do trashy but prefer classy mature change's and in my latest eort have tried a lesbian angle for the piece.

Dear everybody on BCTS,

Vacation is so good for the soul. We are just happy vegging here in Myrtle Beach. Our place has a great view of the ocean and we have been listening to the waves for a few days now. It is oh so relaxing.

Yesterday I swam in th ocean for a little bit. It was cold but the hot tub was a good follow up to that. A lot of the stress and tension that we have been dealing with for a third of the year is slowly trickling away. That will help with writing and everything else.

Just wanted to share.

There have been numerous ways devised over the years to control pests.

How about spraying the crops with a wax powder coated with female insect pheromones? It obviously doesn't affect female insects, but for the poor males who pick up the particles and end up wafting female pheromones about the place...

The Stone of Selana

Over on Bob Arnold's F&SF site, The Stone of Selana is complete. It is the first of a trilogy, so be warned if you start it expecting a final wrap-up at its end. The novel is epic fantasy, so there is much darkness in it, but not as much as I've seen elsewhere in the mainstream. And it is primarily mainstream. Almost no TG and only a modest amount of lesbian reference. The evil-doers are quite evil and do some nasty things to their enemies, some of it in a sexual way, so be prepared. But that isn't the main focus of the novel, it's fantasy. So if you are a fan of fantasy, check it out.

I know I've had several friends that have said they have had to drop their addresses and start new ones because of this! Richard

It's the perfect song for her and just had to share it with anyone who wants to check it out. It completely says how I think and feel about my Jonelle.

It's "Just the way you are." By Bruno Mars.

Robber picks wrong Transvestite prostitute to rob

http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20101026/NEWS010702/10270...

Sixteen-year-old Rufus Bowman was looking for an easy victim, but he picked the wrong one during a July 13 incident.

Bowman was in the 200 block of West McMicken Avenue in Over-the-Rhine when, Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Ryan Nelson said, he approached Joshua Bumpus.

"Mr. Bumpus is a transvestite prostitute," Nelson said. "He goes 6-(foot)-3, 280 (pounds) and was wearing a pink halter top and pumps."

Questions about the stories on the site and on the net

Forums: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Well storysite.org and storysitetwo.org and all the other forms of that site has official shut down I heard. I do not know why, but i miss many of the stories. It also seems like Sapphire has not added stories in a long time and as for asstr.org is hard for me to determine whether they are getting new stories, because it is so big and a little disorganized when it comes to finding and discovering new stories. I like this website and fictionmania.tv and then askjolene stories section (which allows me to find literatica stories and asstr stories in the search engine).

Charlotte's Test

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I have been looking over the dozens of my story ideas stored on my computer, some of them years old and never likely to be started, never mind finished, and trying to work out why I never took them any further.

Most of them show the protagonist getting into an interesting, complex (and almost believable!) situation. But I now realise one particular fault is shared by many of them. In future, I'm going to rigorously ensure I don't fall into the trap again by applying "Charlotte's Test".

Well, busy again, but thankfully I am two weeks in advance of where I need to be with editing. Granted the chapter after that is new and I have to write the whole thing, but hopefully after that I should be good for a while.

Obituary: David/Sonia Burgess human rights lawyer.

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

This was the person who was pushed under the tube train last week and quite honestly, they were very active as a migration and human rights lawyer, involved with transsexual rights as well as other cases. Anyone who can get the Home Secretary found guilty of contempt of court has to be pretty clever. Such a loss to minority communities everywhere. Do read it and see.

I am not sure if I have mentioned it, but I am now on anti-depression medication. The funny thing is that this doctor has never seen me in male clothing. Its still a little strange to be in a public waiting room dressed, but so far, nobody has made a big deal of it. I think that's good news, right?

Time of the Year

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I hate this time of the year because its so damn cold. I live in Western New York, just north of Buffalo. From the beginning of October and all the way to April sometimes, the weather here is absolutely frigid. It's horrible. The worst part is that its not consistent. One day it will be nice, sunny and sixty and the next day it could be freezing and thirty five. I've lived in this area all my life and you'd think it would get easier over the years but it doesn't.

Must Reading - Angela's The Woman Who Corrupted Diddleyburg

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Angela has posted an absolutely amazing piece today, The Woman Who Corrupted Diddleyburg.

It is a very clever title, because it is a play on the Mark Twain classic, The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg. And Angela plays so well with Twain's plot. You really need to read the original version to understand just how excellent her story is. Click here to read Twain's version:

The Stupid Old Woman's Blog

When I agreed to accompany my friend to Ohio, I thought it was a blessing. Some of you were slightly jealous, and I can't blame you. Now that we have been here for slightly over 10 weeks, here is a progress report:

When we got to Ohio, it was hotter than any place I had ever experienced except for Bangkok Thailand, or Maybe Fort Gordon, GA, or Lawton Oklahoma. It was unspeakably hot. I had been in 110 or 120 degree temperatures before but the humidity was low. This at a mere 85 was absolutely smothering because of the humidity. Thankfully, now in November, it freezes at night.

Way to go Giants

I just want to congratulate my SF Giants for winning the World Series. After seeing the disgusting Tshirts the Texans composed "Steers vs Queers" I have to laugh. Our group of mutts weren't suposed to have a chance against the power of the steers, but pitching will always beat hitting and the last two games proved that. I only hope they can do it again next year, Arecee

Do you ever just feel like screaming at your keyboard?

You know, things like "Stupid keyboard! MAKE WORDS!" ;-)

I've been ... Well, not exactly stuck per se, but having difficulty finding the right words for the next scene of my next chapter of Robin. I have the entire chapter in my head, and I can see each scene playing out, but somewhere between there and my fingers it's just not coming across as clearly as I'd like.

Zerophilia Fanfic

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Today while web surfing I ran across this story, "QED." It appears to be a "Zerophilia" fanfic. It is by Jon Buck and is hosted at the site. Warning it is still incomplete, but I found it interesting anyways. Since it was just posted there is more to come.

The story link is http://shifti.org/wiki/User:JonBuck/QED

The site link is http://shifti.org/wiki/Main_Page

Shifti has stories about all kinds of transformations, many of them about furries. However, there is a section that is just TG. It is set up in a wiki format so it can take some exploring to find what you're looking for.

I am soooo sorry for those who read that HaP 34 posting. I didn't realize that I had left some things out as well as some half finished POVs in that chapter. I deleted the post and will work on it a bit more. I promise I will re-post it again once it is finished. I just got a bit ahead of my self.

Thanks for understanding (hopefully)
