I will be taking hopefully a short time out from writing another chapter of Hell Yeah it hurt.I'm just in the beginning stages of out lining what I hope to be a 7500 or less word historically correct Tg short story for this months contest.If all goes well I think it will be an educational and fun read.Amy

I've only attempted writing fiction in the last year or so, but for a few years before that I wrote a fair amount of poetry (tho not hugely prolific). Perhaps strangely, I have never written a poem on a tg subject, never been inspired to really.

Okay, after a DECADE off of school, my first semester back is a resounding success!

Which story here has the highest amounts of hits? Just wondering Amy

Today is a very big day in the U.S.

It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

It's the day of the Giants victory parade in New York City.

And, it's Super Tuesday, a day on which 24 States have their Presidential primary.

So, get out there and catch beads, cheer, and/or vote, as appropriate!

The Eighteen-year-old 34”C” Virgin

Many of the men here, even those of you who write as women, will not see anything wrong with that possibility. You have not considered what causes breast growth.

Natural:

Normal Hormones:

From about ten to about forty a woman has gradual growth of her breasts. They need time to grow. A woman about thirty who has never been pregnant will have larger breasts, (probably about a “B”) than a woman who is fifteen and never pregnant (probably about an “A”). The latter is why many bras in the smaller numbers are padded.

Pregnancy:

A pregnant woman’s breasts will enlarge to accommodate the need to breastfeed the baby. This enlargement will revert to near prepregnancy size with breastfeeding. They will revert minimally if she doesn’t breastfeed, has a miscarriage or has an abortion.

Stimulation:

What, pray tell, would it take to get you to continue Queen Rider? I loved it when I first saw it early last year, but now I've pointed it out to several friends who don't read TG fic, that are just fans of the setting, and they're dying for more of it too!

Please?

The voting on the Novel contest is delayed again while I beat some software into submission.

The Rambo Granny of Melbourne , Australia

Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down - - and shot off their testicles.

The old lady spent a week hunting those men down -- and when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way, said Melbournepolice investigator Evan Delp. Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant's desk and told him as calm as could be:

Something interesting happened today when I went out to eat, at one of those chain steak/buffet places. As is usual on a Sunday it was mostly filled with families, three generations or more.

I was seated next to an extended family who were there along with the grandmother. Three little girls, about 10, 8 and 6 or 7, something like that. The kids were playing and cutting up a bit, not dreadfully so, but a bit annoying. Then the oldest came back from where the three of them had gone off to, and Grandma asked "What's wrong, did the girls run you off?" Well, my head popped up at this and I looked again. Pretty pale blonde hair in a long shag with bangs, pierced ears with a small crystal/fake diamond in each ear, non-descript unisexual clothing - jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers. Could this be a boy?

As I sit here writing this, my lovely wife is cooking my din-dins downstairs.

She isn't aware of my TG thing and because I think I know her after 20 years of marriage I think that she never will understand.

I was brought up in the 50's and I suppose your upbringing colours how you are for the rest of your life.

A vote of four to three has passed the ordinance for the protection of transgender people in Gainesville.

I'm going out I may be gone for quite some time :D

I'm not going to gloss over the reality that you really, really upset me. I don't expect everyone to agree with my human rights stance on issues and my "politics." Reasonable, and reasoned, debate is always interesting.

Once again, I have been thinking.

This is a dangerous thing for me and was sparked by a comment made on the latest instalment of Olivia Twist.

Now I have gotten my shameless plug out of my system, one of the commenters (is that the right term?)

Dreams
Current mood: animated
Category: upbeat Dreams and the Supernatural

This week, I had a very odd dream concerning cats, land yachts, bull dozers, little gray haired grannies, lace doilies and over-size lips.

I am having a terrible time with my spacing on my stories. I set it the way I want it, but it posts completely wrong. I

have done it three times and I am just about at my wits end . Help!!!!!

I guess I can cross Sci-Fi off my list as a genre. I had the idea for "The Bureau Of Karmic Retribution" pop into my head. It didn't go over well with my audience as I didn't get one comment about it. I will just stick to sappy tearjerkers LOL!

I first posted this as a response to the comments on my previous blog, but after I hit submit, I decided it was worth a post of its own.

I know that each of us grapple with the question; "who are we"? I think I am doing OK; at least as well as most other people. Those of you who know of my past brush with Islam, may also know that it left a deep, smoking, brand on my heart. I am talking of the stated philosophy, not of the weirdos, kooks and murderers who get all the attention.

Woke up this morning to find I had no control over my left leg, no bigee really as it's happened before, and is generally a bit wonky anyway. What it did mean was a day off work, to read through what I've been writing, and to rifle through my record collection (it really is a record collection, I never said goodbye to vinyl) for songs for Firestorm's repertoire...

Sorry I couldn't let this one pass by like the other one did.
I just got the 666th hit on chapter 2... Thankfully I'm not superstitious. lol

Thanks everybody for commenting, I know my sspelling can leave something for want, but I try to catch the mistakes

Hugs everybody,
Jayme

I posted this as a comment to "Who Was I", and then realized that it may be for a wider readership.

My dears, coming out as a T girl can be extremely hard for most of us. Perhaps coming out in our teens is easier but I don't see how it could be. Now, into my 4th year fully out, I can see a posible future for myself. Before was all about death and dying.

Not really anything to do with BC but everyone is so helpful here I thought it worth a try.

I have a young pen friend (just coming up 14) who is experimenting with writing a novel.
Does anyone know of a friendly site where she could post her efforts and receive the kind of support and encouragement writers appear to get here.

"You're not going to cry, are you?"

Wow! My date with Phillip is accruing hits with amazing speed. I guess you can read it as a stand alone, and some people must have at least opened it with that in mind because too many people have opened it to have just been those who've read the earlier chapters.

Also, the last blog, Thoughts on Femdom, got a huge number of hits.

Maybe it's just the title.

Hello BC fans!!! ^___^ ;-D

I had a eureka moment this afternoon, and have finally come up with the last major plot element for my first Edwardian set story (I think my little sojourn back to my eighties adolesence helped quite a bit).

So there I was, banging away at the keyboard, smoke coming out of it due to the speed of my single digit frenzy, proud that I can type at least ten words a minute as long as said words are not too long.

I didn’t want to do this, but I think I have to.

Unfinished Symphony is not a femdom story.

Here's a poem I wrote 11 years ago that I just found in a folder. When I first wrote it, I couldn't figure out what to do with it so I buried it. Now I'm hoping I found a home for it here.

Life Is Genderful

Society
Tries placing me
As one kind
In body and mind
But I am not a man
And I am not a woman
I'm a human being
Somewhere in between

I thought it would be fun to blog about Unfinished Symphony while it was being posted, but I'm not sure I like the way the blog is turning out. Sounds like I'm just complaining about too few comments (like there ever could be enough). So let's try something else.

Uncle Ghastly, the perpetrator of Ghastly's Ghastly Comic, is drawing some other randomish things on Webcomicsnation these days. He's not unfamiliar to transgender themes, although he likes to be crude about it.

You have been warned.

I'm going home. When my roommate gets off work (approx 90 minutes from now) she's taking me to the Minute Clinic. They may recommend doc office from there, or fix me up. Bleah. Achy, vomity, head all echoey.

The full article is in Science Daily, and the following is the lead paragraph and a half. It's nice to know some researchers are paying attention

UK Doctors 'Failing' Children Trapped In Gender Limbo, According To Experts
Science Daily (Jan. 24, 2008)

This link bothered me deeply, is it really true to do something like that? Now I know the CD is supposed to be for un-forced, but it reminds me of those stories I've read where the mother or person played a certain tape over and over again in a person's head. Is this stuff really possible? O_O!?

I keep having the feeling that people don't like this story. I am starting to have second thoughts about posting it to begin with and am wondering if I should Continue at all.

Apparently at around 3:30pm Eastern Time, Heath Ledger was found dead of apparent suicide or accidental overdose.

Some vital points were raised by participants in the recent blog discussion about food instigated by SueBrown and left unanswered, because she flummoxed me and I had to concede that I did not have the information readily to hand. In addition I was falsely accused by Sarah Lynn Morgan of hastening the demise of the Homing Leek. I will demonstrate below that this is a monstrous calumny.

Last night, I posted the following text in a bulletin:

IDENTITY, SEXUALITY & DIALECTIC by Laika Pupkino

"I see a day when a little transvestite child, and a little transsexual child will play side by side,
without regard to how they got into them dresses..." -Martina Luthra King.

As I woke up on the floor after being dumped back into my room. I was covered in blood, sweat, tears and dust. The outfit was ruined as was my hair and there were bruies starting to appear on my arms and my face. I was not sure how much of my now sore back was torn open from the abuse I had recieved. I was kind of secure in the knowledge I was in my room where I thought I might be safe.

Many people will notice that I use the above title when I end a comment. I use the phrase to celebrate the many gifts, talents and skills of all T.G. people. If an I.Q. test was to be given, I believe that Big Closet members would rank very high.

In a few minutes I will be sitting down to my favourite meal - roast beef, yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes a couple of green veg and gravy thick enough to stand a spoon in.

1. (afternoon) I made the Compressed Titles slightly longer, if it would still fit on one line in the cell, I lengthened it
2. (afternoon) I added a colon as separator for Parted stories
3. (early evening) I added the latest two stories in a new row
4. (early evening) I re-alphabetized for the longer titles
5. (early evening) I set the width slightly thinner to a point that it won't inte

Just a thought. Since we have such a (wonderful) influx of oft' posting authors as of late, the rapidity of the front page scrolling down and away has become an issue to be thought about. I have an idea...

Why not have a small plain-text "sticky" post at the top with the past three days (and links to them)?

That is, like the "Leave a Comment" post, it stays up at the top, but has just quick links to the stories that've been posted in the past two or three days?

For example, right now it would be:

Is it just me that finds checking up on the latest total number of hits for a story so addictive? I imagine it probably is, lol.

There will be slight delay in the posting of chapter 5 of Hell Yeah it Hurts do to my returning to the world of the working.I have it started and will work on it as time permits and should have it ready before Sunday.Thanks Amy
