I'm back in business! Thanks to the wonders of grand opening sales, I am now in possession of a computer again! You know what this means? I can actually work on my stories again without having to worry about being fired if my boss catches me! YAY!

What this also means is that hopefully I'll be posting chapters of my stories a lot more often, since I'll have more time to work on them, and I won't have to wait until I can borrow a friend's computer to post them. So, be on the lookout the next couple of weeks, 'cause new chapters is comin'!

It's strange one. Anyone that tries it and attempts to put feeling and emotion into it as opposed to stringing a few clichéd idealised fetishes together will I think get what I'm saying.

Well, I've started a new story, not in the Sissy series however.

Netflix has a lot of different things available. Among them are some special Ed Sullivan Shows. I just got a DVD with the full shows that contain (I think) the 2nd and 3rd Beatles appearances on the show. To get to my point: The 02/23/1964 show also has a puppet group on it called Pinky and Perky. That caught my attention as both Susan Brown (Billy Two Shoes) and Jamie Hayworth (Susie and Jeffrey) have used those names in recent stories. Were the puppets famous, or is this just a coincidence, or is their another tie in that I'm just not familiar with?

This is just another example of Erin trying to do her best for the numpties out there.

I did not get to see the Oscars last night, but this morning when I saw the clip of Hugh Jackman carrying Anne Hathaway up onto the stage

StorySite, GabyZone, ReluctantPress, and TGFiction.Net are down, and will be down for the next several hours. I am re-loading the OS, and upgrading a few things. This isn't a planned outage, but wasn't completely un-expected.

Lately, when I've been writing stories, I've been feeling a little ... lost. I've been starting to get story ideas again and writing them, but I'm wondering if I'm really reaching my readers as well as I could. While I like telling myself little stories, the ones I write down are the ones I'm hoping others will enjoy. If there's anyone who read any of my stories and has any thoughts on how to make them better, I'd love to hear from you. :)

Hello everyone!

(S)he's a senior ...
and accepted the tiara and the Ms. Mason 2009 sash at a recent basketball game.

Sorry if I've been a bit quiet of late, but writing's been on the backburner for the last few months. I'm still doing bits and pieces occasionally, though not to any great intensity. Before being diagnosed wit MS, I used to crossdress two or three times a week, and my social life was pretty much wholly conducted en femme - I was lucky to find a group of friends who accepted, and encouraged my tv life, and in the end I even had friends who'd never met me in male guise. On becoming ill, I was determined to remain independent, and withdrew from my circle of friends.

Too late...

Don Piraro had a TG restrooms cartoon that was moderately cute.

Tonight I started to read the newest installment of "Maiden" but had to go back to the previous chapter to Reboot my memory. I remember distinctly reading it a while back and I am quite certain that I voted on it because I have been following the author for a very long time and just love her work.

Lo and behold, I was able to vote again. So, does this mean I have yet another oportunity to double vote; or even tripple, :) for my favorite authors?

Did the thang zero its self? I really do doubt that I forgot to vote before.

HMMMMMMMMMM

The last chapter of Boy's School has been recently posted. If you haven't read it I encourage you to the first chance you get. I don't think I have any spoilers here but why take the chance?

I have insomnia a lot, and I find myself increasingly using that time to think about the abstract.

... the right actress to play Wash-as-Linda in the Firefly revival based on my fan fiction? The series after Serenity, the Big Damn Movie?

As Angharad doesn't seem to have spotted this yet - or, if she has, not got round to posting - here's an article in today's Guardian Education supplement that may be of interest here.

The highest day ever in terms of visitor and the second highest in terms of pages at 43,739. (We had one freak day last February with just over 50,000 page downloads because of several site reapers running at once).

But 13,658 visitors is more than twice the number of visitors on October 31, 2008. A few days later FictionMania went down and BC began a runaway traffic inflation. So fast that Bob and I have spent a lot of the last three and a half months trying to keep the server from crashing on a nearly daily basis.

I don't know how long its been and I don't want to be a pest. I would like to know whats going to happen with with Maisie. Is everyone alright with Kaleigh. Last I heard, she left a blog that her wife was very down but she was coming out of it. Has there been any more complications?

A work colleague linked to this today. For some reason, more than other stories of this type, it's just left me feeling so sad and angry. I bet those parents think they're such good Christians.

Ok, I am loving all the comments for my stories and I am enjoying writing. My question to you dear readers is which story sequel would you like to see first.

Just found this Wikipedia article on Fictionmania:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictionmania

For anyone who doesn't know the history of the site, it's quite informative. One can't help noticing, though, that in its current form, it reads rather like the obituary of a well-loved senior statesman or other notable person.

Let's hope it needs amending soon, and because Fictionmania rises from the ashes.

I am really amazed and quite thankful that Erin and Bob were able to do this whole move and reconfiguration thingie and have it all work so soon.

Thank you very much.

Just a quick note to say that Angharad is having computer problems and will not be able to post an episode of EAFOAB tonight.

She told me over th3e ’phone that she's going to bed with a book.

I just posted Part 5 of my novel, Standing Up to Life. I will be posting the final part, Part 6, tomorrow night sometime. Just thought I'd put the word out there in case it gets buried in a flood of entries tonight :-). Thanks for reading!
-Tiffany Shar :-)

I have to say that I've noticed lately that a lot of authors have been putting more work into the
presentation aspects of stories. Geoff and I were talking last night about this very thing.

Well, I am almost done with Chapter 13. It should be up in no more than a week and a half. It's been tough but hopefully I can regain some momentum here.

See you all soon.

I am making myself available to anyone needing an editor to review their writing. My native language is Texan, but I am fairly fluent in American English. All I can offer up for credentials is the fact that I got an A+ in College Freshman English with Composition back in 2003. Examples of my own writing can be found on my LiveJournal site: http://dv8nekomimi.livejournal.com/.

For those who have not just gone ahead and purchased the download, Tiffany has posted part three of her wonderful book. Unfortunately it appeared so far down the list that many of her fans may miss it.

Never fear, however! She told me a few days ago she was going to try to post a segment every day. It's just not possible to do it faster for a number of reasons.

Hugs

I just now tried to enter the zone, but it is down for some reason. I hope that Piper has it back up soon.

this is a wonderful story and i would advise you to read it the story can be sensitive full of suspence wondering what the next chapter will bring but in all honesty i believe that you need to read the full story instead of waiting for each chapter to be realeased i took the opertunity to download the full story from a site called lulu.com and thought it was worth paying the $3 to download it believe me it was worth every penny i paid but don't take my word for it download it and you will see what i mean i look forward to reading the next book due out in march

Here is a good beginning to a story I was writing. My challenge to you is to finish it! The real challenge though is...Can you give it emotion? Will the readers "FEEL" the story through the characters? Good luck and I hope this helps those wanting to write, at least a start.

So I have finaly posted to big closet two stories I have written. It was sure fun writting them. I have a few more in the works as well as sequils to "Matt's Dillema" and "My Life In a Dress". I hope you all enjoy my stories. My next two are from a fathers point of view, which should be different.

Maggie the Kitten is a close personal friend I've met on seven occasions. I hope to meet her many more times, despite our living almost 2,000 miles apart.

13,187 visitors and 41,900 page hits.

I'm working on a story which will be a one off, unless I post it in two parts. It will be different from anything else I've written and darker than my usual stuff. It's also a crime story. I have no idea when I'll get around to finishing it yet, I've done a first draft of about a tenth of it, but I won't be posting it in chapters and it won't be posted until it's completed. It will be posted here. That's it.

Angharad.

Those few of you who were following my writing project have probably already guessed this, but ... I'm putting my writing on hold for awhile.

I am sorry for the lack of updates, but I've rewritten chapter 20 now nearly three times because I keep writing it into a place I don't want it to go.
