As much as I love Deirdre's antics and the way she gets into trouble without even trying, it will be a while before I get much more done with her story. I've had a death in the family, with all the attendant hooraahh, paperwork, and obligations needing to be seen to. Probably next week, I'll be able to get back to writing.

I apologize to those of you who have been waiting, but take heart. Deirdre isn't near done yet! *evil laugh*

Just wait for the mayhem I have planned. Wait for it, wait for it...

I am feeling extremely cross right now and need a spanking and to be forced to stand in the corner. :(

Ballet for me has never been about the clothes for me. I love being graceful, trying to create something beautiful....

This is going to be long and about as dry as day old toast, but I felt like rambling to complete strangers on the internet for awhile :)

Well, the first part of "The Incognito Parallel" is done. Drew is dressed as a girl and on the run with his Mom.

Sarah Bayen wrote several stories of various types. In my mind, the best were two sequential stories about a school beauty contest and the consequences it had on the boys participating in it.

Neither Bonz nor I can believe you've allowed us to continue this tale for so long. In fact, you've stopped me from finishing it once or twice. So here we are at episode 500, with loads of plot lines to follow, assuming that is the general wish of the readership - all three of you - that Bonzi and I continue boring the pants off you and contributing towards the respite of severe insomnia in some readers.

So we'll keep going a bit longer if required. Until then, from the Bonz and his mum - A Very Merry Christmas to you all.

Angharad & Bonzi.

I'm having a lot of asthma brought on by the URI I've got. No air.

I've got my meds and I hope to be okay in a day or so.

Hugs,
Erin

I am reading the story in Crystal's Story Site "Anything For A Moped", by Dawn De Winter, and I find it very confusing. First of all, Kyle makes a deal with his mother that he can buy guy looking clothes in the girl's department, and nobody would know the difference. Then his mother adds to the deal, that Kyle wear a sports bra, and panties, but that he should watch his movemets or the bra would ride up. Then he gets to playing hoops with his friend Jason, who immediately says he is playing like a girl, and yet, Kyle is watching his movements so he is not discovered.

Well, the ninja muse struck again. Just to get this installment of the Sissy story out, it is a double sized episode. And there is more coming since I leave it hanging at a critical point.

The Pope has urged the Catholic Church to stop the slide into blurring of sex roles and to stop the destruction of mankind through homosexuality and transsexuality. He rubbishes gender theory which is an artificial concept.

He doesn't however rubbish the myths and fairy tales his whole empire is built on. How much longer have we got to stand by while these out of touch imbeciles pronounce on issues they neither understand nor have any right to speak about?

I received another call from my brother. My mom is now spending every night in the hospital. He will not be coming out for Christmas. He has a good chance for a turn around, but he needs to walk around to get his body moving. This is needed to get bodily functions moving normally. There is fluid build up in the lungs. Pneumonia has not set in yet. They are going to try to find the next blockage.

If you have been reading the revised version of Kelly's journey, you know that I have split each chapter and expanded each chapter half.

This story by Dawn De Winter, posted on Crystal's Story Site is one of the funniest around. I first read it years ago, it was posted in 2001 and I've been re-reading it recently.

Cross posted from Crystal's cyberboard at Erin's request.

I'm -not- complaining. But I have some comments about usability and appearance that I've been withholding for way too long.

I would like to say that I have been transgendered all my life, but when I was growing up, it was something that wasnt even talked about. There was no internet; web; or anything that we know now. There was only the print, and you were looked down on if anyone but your MOTHER caught you with a Penthouse Forum. I think that the magazines were the first that any of us had in finding out that there were others like us.

I just got another reminder today that girls can be crazed and aggressive. You've got to watch out for 'em! :)

Bob and I are experimenting with a mirror for TopShelf on one of Bob's servers.

well this christmas i get to spend it sleeping on the floor at my sister with all my stuff in storage. also i have to spend my birthday on christmas eve all dressed as a guy since i have to share the basement with my siblings and it will be my golden birthday this year as i will be 24 on the 24th. so yeah no dressing as my self instead i have to wear all guy clothes and i hate that. so yeah im kinda homeless till january so i have to crash at my sisters house till some time mid january.

Well I just received a call from my brother this afternoon (Friday, the 19th). Right now it is wait and see mode. My dad will be let out this Tuesday in time for Christmas. They want to make sure he is regaining his strength before he is released. They will do the biopsy on the liver before he is released.

They have to analyze it to determine what type it is first. We won't know that answer for a week. So, I will be down there from Christmas to New Years. I won't have access to a computer during that time. My parents refused to get involved in that.

Maddie Blaustein has passed away. She was most likely the most heard TG voice on the planet. Maddie work as a voice actress and in comics. http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/blog/2008/12/17/rip-maddi...

I just wanted to let you all know that Caitlin isn't talking to me right now, so there will be a bit of a delay in Sorority Boy. Hopefully she will dain to talk to me soon. Several other stories are running through my head right now and that could be part of the problem. If you go to fanfiction.net ad look for poetheather1 you can see what has been occupying my time as of late.

Hopefully you will all hear from me soon.

While I was out early in the evening, it snowed where I live. Hardly enough to count most places, maybe four inches of wet but fluffy snow lying all over the deserty landscape.

Bob and I with a bit of help from my brother are going to be able to save BigCloset Classic and the 600 or so stories posted there

well i really need to get back into blogging and keeping my emotions in check.So much happens to knock me back and forwards 18 months into official RLE anmd some times i still hate my body. I cant get away with looking really femme as the body doesnt fit. To be honest I look like a diesel dyke but freak it I am who I am.

Internet Explorer is not the only thing being funky today. For the last several days, Yahoo Mail, GMail, and a few other sites seem to be suffering from a disturbing influence. Even my toaster burned the toast!

Mmmmewwwwwaaahhhhhhhhh!

As everybody here knows, Sephy is right now recuperating from corrective surgery she received in Thialand. She is having a very difficult time recovering due to complications.

This is gonna be a long one, my friends.

So. I'm virtually done with my 7th month in RLT, and things have gone from good to incredible in such a short space of time.

...but I intend to find out who is responsible for this!

After reading Teddi's sad blog, it made me think for a while about who I am. Am I finding out, or am I profoundly dishonest with myself?

I just posted Julie O's latest story at Stardust. It's a story in the Turbulence series with Iona and the crew from Coeds. You can also reach Julie O through Stardust as she now has a user account there so please do comment on her stories posted there.

story idea nr 2:
This takes place in the setting of Mai Otome, an anime series about magical girls, who get their powers from crystals. These girls are forbidden any sexual contact with men, for the sperm kills the nanobots which allows them to be Otome.

Neither Bob nor I have any idea why the server went down at the slowest time of the night but we didn't find out about it till we got up this morning. Took over half an hour to get the thing to reboot.

I've decided to blame Governor Blagojevich of Illinois for corrupting my server. He seems to be able to deal emotionally with things like that, nothing upsets him, apparently. With everything else he's accused of, I'm sure we can slip another crime onto the docket and no one will notice.

My ISP, Time Warner, is having some problems maintaining service in this area. It's possibly related to either the fires or the recent rain or both. They say they should have it fixed tomorrow but they said that before, so who knows? As it is, I'm online for varying periods and then down for half an hour to an hour or three while they try some more bubblegum, clothespins and duct tape. They're actually pretty good at this so I figure I'll get a credit on my next bill and they will have it fixed by this weekend.

Yesterday marked a milestone for me here on BCTS. I posted the first segment of my first story here Who Was I. It's been a fun year, both in writing, and more recently, personally.

Article and video on the website. Hope the link works.

Angharad.

Hi folks,

a few weeks ago Angharad posted a very interesting question about transsexual people and terrorists. Unfortunately that discussion was stopped very early. I guess it was to avoid any flaming which surely would have come soon.
But like I said, it would have been very interesting to discuss that matter a bit further. I came to the conclusion that this site might probably not the best place to persuade such a philosophical exchange.

If there is any interest in having such discussions in depth, I'd like to provide a forum for that.
There will be of course rules to avoid unneccessary flaming or even hatred.

GOOD NEWS!! Melanie Dixon gave me permission to post Prairie Girl's story Tragedy Of The Spirit over at Bob Arnold's Stardust. I also asked and got permission to post it from Bob Arnold. I posted the first of her chapters today and will continue to post every Sunday just as I post Maddy Bell's Gaby stories on Wednesday's for her. Thanks Bob.

I think I may have been on my home planet at the time or maybe I blinked, but did I miss the results of the ghost story type comp?
