As I've explained elsewhere before, I'm a straight, married, male crossdresser. As a class, we're famous for living so deep in the closet, we can't see what we're doing. :) I've read the stories of those who, taken with a bout of guilt, stress, or recent threat of discovery, "purge" their entire collections of mtf goodies: clothes, makeup, wigs, shoes, everything.

Well, I've never had that problem.

I just want to re-assure anyone worried about my take on Amanda Waller, she will not end up in a silly costume, and her abilities will not exceed human. Meanwhile, I have had a couple of dreams recently where its clear I am fully female. I think that's a good sign.

I was thinking of all those millions that J.K. Rowling has managed to amass and I thought that it might be a good idea to put a few of my stories on Lulu and then sit back and wait for the doubloons to come rolling in.

I got to the stage where I was thinking of opening a Swiss bank account or at least get a new piggy bank when I paused. Ms Doubt came up in my mind as she often does when I have hair brained schemes.

Is it any good? Does it work, is it like those self publishing scams where you put all the money and nothing comes out?

Hey all,

I just wanted to leave a little note here that this past week I've been pretty under the weather. It's not anything serious, but it's left me feeling drained, so that's why the big delay so far. Next chapter (or two, maybe) of Robin should be up by Sunday, if not sooner.

Sorry for the delay. I don't like to let my writing go this long normally, but when all your muse says is "Shut up and take some medicine!" it's kind of hard to get anything done. :-D

So, what do I have to bitch about? I am living almost the perfect life now if you ignore the black hole in my heart at the loss of my whole family. Shit, that was over 5 years ago now, so I just need to buck up, pull up my skirt, keep my lipstick straight, and not fall off my heels, right?

Hello again BC fans,

In this chapter we get to see the process how someone becomes a master wizard or master sorceress. Then we hear the suggestions and which island will do to solve the sickness problem. The idea of regional meetings greatly expanded quickly. I had to do some penciling and figuring out the time differentials to make it work for a long day.

I assure you, the action and drama will pick up in the next set of chapters.

Well, i think my ex is losing it. I was helping her tonight like I always do, and she asked me to write a letter for my daughter's new teacher at school. I agreed, and I started writing it. She was dictating to me, and i tried to make a suggestion about some words, and she completely lost it. She starting swearing at me, and told me I have nothing to do with my daughter's future. I am hurt, angry, and ready to do something drastic.

I've been working up to this for a while, and it's still kind of premature, but I've decided to go ahead and change my posting schedule from every 7 days (Fridays) to every 6 days. This means I'll be posting on Thursday this week. I'm going to SacAnime Friday-Sunday, so it seemed as good a time as any. ;)

I'm not going to lie to you and try to tell you that Bull Durham wasn't about baseball. That's mostly what it was about. But, it was also about people, and sex, and a bit of mysticism.

Not sure how or why, but I tripped over a link to the screenplay. It's richer, darker, possibly funnier, but definitely more touching than the movie was. I was particularly taken with its very open view of sexuality, sensuality and gender. If you do nothing else, just word-seach on "panties" and skip through it. Oh, and read the ending. It's nice.

New Hampshire Teen Sues School for Failure to Warn Against Dangers of Stupidity

Well that's done, at least. So far it seems the reaction to the story is good, and I'm grateful to everyone who has commented about it so far. I added a "Chapter Zero" that explains who's who, and where they come from, so hopefully that will help the story make more sense.

This is, without a doubt, the most ambitious project I've ever completed, and I'm feeling a little burned-out at the moment. But I'm also too wired to sleep; as usual, my Muse has stolen my sleep!

Good thing I have the day off, huh?

Last night before bed I was reading a story about a rich cross dresser seeing an MD Shrink. The Shrink was being a real ass and as the story developed, it turned out the cross dresser was actually smarter than him.

The problem is that this morning I can't find the story to finish it. Does anyone have any ideas?

Gwen

I have decided that as there doesn't appear to be overmuch interest in reading the 'new version' of the story, I will discontinue amending the story for now. I have therefore put the remainder of the original stories back up.

I might return to it later, but as I want to clear the decks as it were for Football Girl Book 2 and other future stories.

Many thanks for the people who did comment.

Hugs
Sue

Just a note to let you know that a new chapter is posted at http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/21934/jamie-and-peach-14

I have lost a notebook filled with many story ideas, as well as notes on some that I have started working on. Some I had hoped to finish and post here. But nooooooo. Someone had to take it last night while I was asleep. But that’s not all they took. They took my car that it was in.

A few of you might have caught a glimpse of my earlier blog/rant/vent before I pulled it in regards to family issues.

I decided after posting it that it was just too heated and not within the general "friendly" of the site, so I pulled it though I have a hard-copy for myself because just writing it helped me quite a bit. :-)

I think I should try and explain about my latest piece, "missing". Its actually not that recent, probably more than a year old. I have hesitated to share it because its not an easy piece, and I feared that it would be misunderstood. Its my rather faulting attempt to describe what might happen if the Rapture occurs in my lifetime. It is an attempt to describe both the sadness those who might miss me, with the joy I would know at that moment. Hugs to all who worried about me, I am not planning on leaving anytime soon, although God might have other plans.....

Well that's chapter 26 posted. This story will soon be finished then I can get on with some more original stuff. I'm really getting quite stale with it now and not much in the way of comments.

Went to Wild Passions in South Wales, (Newport gwent) this friday. Fabulous venue.
Alan and Mandy perfect hosts to fifty plus trannies of asorted ages from 20 to 80.

Good time was had by all though.

I'll definitely be going again, - and again, and again.

Cheers all Beverly.

To everyone who has contacted me recently, thanks so much for writing. The answer is, yes, I'm fine (apart from a bad back, which is an old friend), but soooo busy. My parents (both mid 80s and not at all well) found their rambling home in Scotland too much and have finally accepted the suggestion that they'd be better closer to me and in a retirement comunity (independent living but with care if and when they need/want it)

At last I've been able to get back on my bike and do a little ride - only 27 miles with no real hills, so I feel a lot better. My wound is still weeping, which exercise has probably increased, but it did wonders for the rest of me. Anyway, it's on the mend and I feel much better about it.

A decent sized chunk of my next AquaGirl story is going to involve her swimming around in Lake Michigan. But being a UK citizen, I know virtually nothing about it other than what I can dig up on a Wikipedia trawl. So, since I figure some of you probably live a little nearer it than I do, I thought I'd pick your brains... :)

First, I'd like to offer my apologies to anyone who doesn't like superheroes or the Retcon universe for the utter spam of stories of late as I've built up to this, my first attempt at a real Retcon crossover storyline.

Sure, we've had cameos and brief crossings before now, but this is the big one I'd been leading up to for some time now. It's probably the most ambitious thing I've ever done as a writer, and the concept terrifies me. My Muse, however, remains confident (and crazy) as she eternally stands between me and sleep.

Hi, it's Melanie here again with another project to dole out, but this time with a twist:

I don't want to give away this idea. I want an artist to collaborate with me on it.

As so many of you have pointed out to me from time to time I am in need of a good editor.

I'm looking for someone who can help me with my grammar and my vocabulary. I'm sorta lacking in both departments.

Thanks in advance,

Enemyoffun

Well, i am working on my Amanda Waller story, and a little bit stuck. What i need is a way to get from Amanda coming back home for the first time after her transformation, to fighting a local gang, who will be led by a name that might be familier to comic book readers, - Tombstone. Wish me luck.

Background: A person who was coming to the end of a secondment from GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) to MI6 (Secret Intelligence Service) was discovered dead in his flat, his body contained within a bag within his bath. The first post mortem was inconclusive, and there's speculation he'd been killed two weeks beforehand. As there was no sign of forced entry, it's believed the victim knew his attacker - so his private life is being investigated.

This is so hard! Ontop of everything else, I just don't know what to do.

Mom went into my Brother's room awhile ago to get batteries so She could check my blood-pressure. She was concerned about the effect of my new antidepressants, as was I. Well, the pressure was O.K.,(though on the very low side), but a few minutes later my Brother came storming out of his room and slammed a bunch of batteries down on the table.

He was screaming about getting his own place as soon as he could.

I've been reading several comments about Assassin pertaining to Stan and not feeling the love. Several have said they can't feel empathy toward the boy. I'm sorry to pop that balloon, but Stan is an assassin. I'm sorry that some of my readers think that I'm not going in the right direction, but the story is what it is. A boy led adrift and he kills people. Yes he has many issues he hasn't dealt with and yes he's trying to be a patriotic citizen. The important thing to remember is that he's eighteen. Even if he had never been to Afghanistan he would still be immature.

I am back BC fans,

I'm sorry for the late add. My PC developed a bug. I was told first it was a hardware issue. Then a software issue. They said it worked fine for 24 hours without self shutting off. They used MS Security Essentials free download. They said they download it onto my PC. They didn't. So, I download it myself. I hope it works. I also bought a new UPS device. That should smooth the spikes from our frequent lightning storms here in Florida.

Back to the story.

For those like me who've been waiting with bated breath for the next Gabysode, the good news is Maddy has posted one. Click on the link.

If not, there's a storyline that starts here that would fit right in as a story for this site.

Of course, to really get how much it's affecting the characters, you need to read the entire comic, but it's worth it!

Hi all

Just to let you know that I'm back from my travels, writing more of Peaches and if you go to this page Nena has written a bit of a holiday blog.

I Write Like by Mémoires,

As the Comics Retcon Universe expands, so does the amount of information pertinent to it. While some of that information can be conveyed through the stories themselves, the Universe page, and blogs; there's an increasing need for a more centralised storage.

So may I present...

The Comics Retcon Wiki

Well, no more comments again.
Never mind.
It'll shortly be finished and I can post some other stuff. Just a few more chapters probably 30.

Did a few more miles on Miranda this afternoon. Shoulder hurting a bit but the clavicle isn't grinding end to end, (crepitus.)
Few more days and I'll be back in harness.
Typing with two fingers again.

I was informed that someone has been spoofing my IP address(s) here to badmouth other members of BC.

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ! and I do not apologize for shouting,

I may joke, I may kid others here -- ones I know well and who know me -- but I never have and hope I never will attack any one for being themselves or for what they post. I may not like things others might post but it is their post not mine, their opinion/taste not mine and it is not fair for me to criticize others except for when they attack me or someone else unfairly.

N.B. You may find it useful to read Born in a Watery Grave either before, during, or after reading this.

I just got the first half of part four back from my editor. Holly says she should be done with the second half in a few weeks. I'm going to post the first half, all twenty thousand words and will post the second half when it's ready. I'll try to get it posted by tomorrow at the latest, Arecee

Superheroes: A Warning

Interesting podcast from The Guardian

The portion on Superheroes starts at 27:20

Her thesis is that the film versions of superhero characters are typically hypermasculinised in comparison to the stories portrayed in the comics the characters are drawn from, and reduces the acceptable story arcs to a handful of "movie versions."

I'm pretty floored. Today has been exactly one month since I've started writing on this site. I've been a member for a while but last month was the first time that I've ever gotten up enough courage to post something here, even though I've wanted to for a long time. I've been extremely overwhelmed by all the great comments and praise that my stories have received from everyone one.

So thanks to you all and here's hoping there will be many stories to come.

And so we finally have the delayed chapter 13 of Princess For Hire! With, at its end, a mysterious pseudo-cliffhanger, WOOoooOOOOooo *ghosty sounds*

So, here comes the User Recommendation part. You, yes, YOU, have a say in what happens in the story. Does Beck's dad decide to come up and stay with Sarah's family in Persistence? Or does Beck go home with his dad, meet the mysterious voice on the other end of the phone, and have whatever adventures I can come up with there?

We have had rugby and there are some bits involving climbing coming up, as well as rather a lot of local Welsh stuff. I have added weblinks to photos and reference sites that will give some explanation, but I do not want to tangle the narrative of a story that is important to me with a lot of technical exposition. If anyone wants or needs to work out whet the hell I am writing about, feel free to ask and I will answer.I was reminded of the problem when a comment (a nice one) was made about "places on the Moon"

Warning: Blog contains lots of images!
