I have added a chapter to WHY ME
a new chapter to SECOND CHANCE and the first two chapters of a new story... A GIRL CAN BUT DREAM

check them out on http://tanyastales.yolasite.com/work-in-progress.php

Oh yes, and as the page would get very long indeed, I have given each of these stories pages of their own.

I posted chapter two as a child page to Singularity, but it didn't show it on the main page. Am I doing it right? I want people to be able to tell when I post a new chapter... Anyway, maybe this will do for letting people know. Anyway, if you have any suggestions, reviews or criticisms, feel free to PM, email or comment on the stories!

--Angie

P.S. I nearly forgot, I deleted a little at the end of the first chapter, I like the way I rewrote it much better. Big thanks go out to Shadowolf for ideas and suggestions, inspiration and heavy prodding!

I had no idea that it would be such a headach to order in Spain. I knew the language difference so I thought I prepaired. I took several years of spanish in college, I have a friend thats mexican that she helped me also. I took a trip to Madrid Spain thinking that I knew enough spanish to get by reasonibly but no where near fleuntly.
So imagin my shock when I tried to talk to a waiter the first day only to get a dumb look back that told me 'What is this moron trying to say to me' lol.

Anyone know whats happening with this? by Allystra

let me know please

I received this link from a family email a while back and I have kept forgetting to share it with everyone here. It doesn't have anything to do with TG or anything like that. But this rendition of Toto's song Africa is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen or heard. The link is:

If you have ever heard the song, you will be 'thunderstruck' by this group of talented musicians.

I must say that for a while today, I thought that I was going to spend some time on the Psych ward. I had just read where the 11 year old who spent 18 years with her captor was feeling extremely guilty about having identified with her captor.

Reading "Venus Curse" today caused another shock wave in the force for me. For a while I felt very traumatized by it.

The media haven't finished milking this story, but this one from today's Guardian is more interesting than most. Perhaps things are beginning to change in Africa. I hope so.

She's called Izzy and is a tortoiseshell and white shorthair. I'll do a photo when I get a chance - Bonzi of course doesn't know yet that there's a another female here to nag him, but he'll find out when he gets home. She's busy (I know busy Izzy but I didn't name her) exploring the place. I hope within a few days they'll have settled down together without blood on the ceiling.

Share the frustrations of carefully, or even occasionally, cleverly wording a comment to a blog or story, pressing submit only to see a fault notice come up and one's efforts disappear into the void?

I suspect the major culprit is MS and their idiot offspring Internet Exploder, although it does tend to happen more on this site than others I visit.

Obviously it's happened again hence this blog.

Only two more reads till Samantha's Story 1 (also known as Easter Sunday) hits 5000 reads.

Wow.

Hi all,

For those who like my work. Those who do I thank you. Prince to Princess 6 is now in the works. A childhood friend died a little after I put 5 up. I comepetely lost the will to write, I had to kick my azz to get my self back on track. Thank you to anyone who has read it and is really in to it.

There's a subcategory under the Whately Academy page called Whateley Fanfiction that was almost completely untenanted.

...regrettably. Especially regrettably since I have emptied the buffers of both "State" and Daughters".

Thank you everyone for reading the sequel to "An Incremental Journey". I notice that a large number of readers have gone back to that story as well as reading the sequel, "Cynthia and the Reluctant Girlfriend". I know that is an assumption. Someone has been even so kind as to vote on the predecessor. Thank you so much. Now, if we can just get some comments on "Cynthia and the Reluctant Girlfriend". They are most helpful for future stories.

It doesn't really matter to anyone but me, I know, but the first story I ever posted to BCTS, Two Roads finally hit 1000 reads/hits today. The story was posted on December 4, 2005, back before voting was even a concept.

In part this milestone was the result of a surge of hits that came about yesterday from Joannebarbarella's blog about old stories, which led to a record breaking 22 hits in the past two days. Thanks Joanne!

So, since I can't set off some fireworks here in my homestate, consider this blog to be my celebration of that milestone.

I Saw this at Yahoo! news, Think we are affected

I spent last night at the Epilepsy Center of the New York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. After a delightful hour of getting hooked up to electrodes and such, I enjoyed and hour and a half of uninterrupted writing, and I was glad for it; I can't wait to write when I'm not writing, and I can't wait to finish when I am. The most curious thing; the technician was a nice young man who actually had the same kind of face as Ben Kelly, my counselor character and alter-ego of Katie Kelly.

Sorry to everyone here who has been waiting for the continuation of one or more of my series.

30 days remain, before I arrive at the Southern Comfort Conference, the biggest TG convention in the world, and yet...

One is from the financial pages which I don't normally read about some gender bending soap opera, which someone might know more about. I'm tempted to write to them advertising my own, here.

I've noticed that Beverly's Balcony hasn't been updated since a year ago.
Does anyone know if she's alright?
So many fellow travelers just drop out, and vanish.

…or is it my Mac?

Just a post to let everyone know I finally found a job. Over the next two weeks I am my family will be settling into a new apartment. I ended up having to go out to the Midland-Odessa area to find a job, but it will do nicely I think.

With the issue of job hunting finally off the table, I am able to devote time and mind to writing again. I am hoping to have chapter 20 of A Little Fox Tale completed by the end of next week.
 

Hugs, Kaho

A Piece of String

Six months ago, every night I prayed that I would not wake up in the morning. I was utterly crushed, knew it and wanted out. I was finished.

I don't know how relevant this blog will be to anyone who isn't reading my story PLAY NICE, but...

Reading Jill Micayla's recent blog caused me to think. She felt badly because Terry did not include any of her stories in the contest. Jill suggested she has never been a winner.

New York man gets 25 years for transgender hate killing

My Echo went well on my heart(at least I think so) My heart rate was close to normal today and the test went rather quickly. Anyone who has ever had this test done knows that they make you wear that awful gown with the front open. It was just as cold. My nipples were standing at full attention LOL!. I spent a couple minutes cleaning gel off of my breasts( I just hate anything slimy Ewww!!!) I got to school and the Financial Aid people ruined most of the rest of my day by splitting my grant in half and awarding an exact amount for each semester.

Well I found out today that my boss has to eleminate one full time position from our department. One of our senior guys is going to retire after he has some surgeries but if that is not soon enough then someone will have to be laid off. Now senority is not suposed to exist is the hospital where I work but it does. If they deside to go by senority then my neck will be on the chopping block. I have been there for 8 years with the execption of a few months in 2007, but even that leaves me in last place as all the other full timers have been there longer in one postion or another.

I've often vowed never to start a blog, as I'm sure I wouldn't find enough "stuff" to fill it with, let alone make it interesting enough to avoid curing insomnia. However, I'm willing to give (almost!) anything a try, so here goes nothing...

By now you're probably wondering who the heck this strange creature which suddenly invaded the comments of several BCTS stories a few weeks ago is. If not, click back and find something more interesting to read.

Is anyone else starting to feel like their in a doctor who reality mew? This is getting seriously creepy O_O

We recently had a discussion here about health care reform and whether it would cover SRS. Someone sent me an interesting thing the other day that dovetails with that, and the National Healthcare System side-discussion that entailed, nicely.

Just a quickie.

I was wondering whether there has been much of a drop in the reader count since FM came back on line.
