This week end, I saw my step sister who is 4 years older than I and the conversation brought up something that my half brother's wife remembered my step father telling her in bragging tones.

Something happened over the last couple of weeks that really illustrated to me the value of comments and the new voting feature Erin set up. First, my story 'In the Line of Duty: No Greater Love', which was posted back in January, got a comment. No the story generally gets one or two hits a day, but thanks to this comment the hit count soared. A few days ago, the same thing happened for my very first story, 'Lost Luggage'. This time, the first comment led to another person reading and commenting, and again the hit count soared.

A little story description from pages:
ShÅ«ichi Nitori is a 5th grade student who likes to bake and has always been something of a feminine boy. When he transfers to a new school, ShÅ«ichi is mistaken for his 6th grade sister on his first day. Then he ends up sitting next to Yoshino Takatsuki, a tall, boyish girl who everyone calls “Takatsuki-kun.” They both have secrets they can’t let anyone know…

One of the joys of writing Blue Moon is finding uses for elements I introduced earlier just for color or bits of business. Do people writing novels do this, too, or is the tuxedo cat stealing cream in chapter four never to be seen again?

What if you needed a sudden noise in the middle of the night in chapter thirteen? Wouldn't it make sense for Mr. Underfoot to turn out to be the same cat? And then, near the climax when the villain needs to send a message, poor little kitty gets a curtain call?

Grisly example but does this happen in novel-writing?

Rick Reilly is by far my favorite columnist. His “Life of Reilly” appears on the last page of Sports Illustrated. For years I’ve read Sports Illustrated from back to front. Many times his column is all that I read, but I try never to miss it.

This week’s column is a shocker. He wrote about a friend of his, a past co-worker on the Los Angeles Times, Mike Penner, who is now Christine Daniels, who still is a sports writer for that paper.

He talks of how good-looking she has become because she now is smiling a great deal. He speaks in positive terms throughout the article.

If it's not voluntary, making someone do something that will put them in danger -- either at the time or later on -- is wrong and would be construed as child abuse in most of the cases in which they do this.

What's the difference between Chapter Numbers and Outline "Weight"

Forums:

Quickly put, the weight of an entry in BC's outlining should be the magnitude of the chapter number.

Chapters 1-9 -- weight=0
Chapters 10-99 -- weight =1
Chapters 100-999 -- weight = 2

This gets winkled with if chapter numbers are spelled out or done in Roman numerals but the reason to do it this way is sothe outliner pages will alphabetize the titles correcctly. All the titles with lowest weight are done first, then next higher weight, etc.

Multi-book works like Me and Sam get more complex. :)

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea, one called Justin and the other called Christian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that inhabited the area.

Finally one day Justin said to Christian, "I'm fed up with being a prawn; I wish I was a shark, and then I wouldn't have any worries about being eaten."

Jennifer Boylan at Southern Comfort Gender Conference

I was talking with someone today about Jennifer Finney Boylan's book,
She's Not There - A Life in two genders. The ending of the book bothered me a bit because I felt Jenny glossed over the affect her transition had on her wife Grace who stuck with him/her through everything. But that is not really the subject of this post. (Anyone who wishes to pursue a critique of the book, PM me or open a forum subject about it.)

Taking Responsibility

In today's Guardian newspaper (23.5.07) (www.guardian.co.uk - under life & health, story titled, 'Mistaken Identity'); one of the leading gender psychiatrists was censured by the General Medical Council for inappropriately referring 5 patients for surgey. He didn't stick to the rules regarding referral so the censure may be appropriate, but I won't comment upon the case directly.

Open Invitation Anybody interested… feel free.

I posted a story a couple of days ago called

" Should Have Stayed in Bed "

A few people seemed to enjoy it and some wanted me to continue.
I hadn't planned to, but I was tempted. I've decided to go with my original idea and not follow on... but...

If anybody would like to do so, be my guest. The only stipulation I put is that you try to keep the same light feel.

Incomprehensible Ingratitude!

Dear Readers,

Let me begin by stating that I enjoy writing tg fiction. It is not a laborious endeavor for me but an activity that I find both relaxing and challenging. Because of this, I do not crave public recognition or adulation for my work. The fact is, I have written many stories that I haven’t even bothered to post. However, I am nevertheless appalled by what I see as the widespread ingratitude shown towards the many excellent authors that post on this site.

Hello I've just opened the door to the Big Closet as a registered user and I'm buisy finding my way around the place. I've been into TG fiction for years mainly the reading of it and I've found the Internet an Aladin's cave of some good TG material. I'm very fond of reading Petticoat Punishment stories as this has been a favourite fantasy of mine for many years and I would like to write about it.

Hello readers of my work, I hope this forum message finds people well.

Me, I've not been idle at all, I've uploaded the new edits for The Making of Nibs, and decided that a one volume book was too big for people, the The Making of Nibs is now three individual novels, each detailing a section of the overall story.

The first follows very true to the first chapters upto the start of the Wacker War.
The second follows the adventures during the Wacker War.
And the last details the adventures upto the Narrizan Inc operation.

Newsweek Gender Articles

Hey all,

Newsweek had a pretty good article on "The Mystery of Gender", as they called it. Their website has more associated stories than were in the magazine. However, while the stories themselves are well done, you should see the comments,(or maybe not)some are a very depressing view of intolerance.

Had an unusual experience over the last week. I 'chat' via email to several people. Some daily, others every few, others occasionally. Last Saturday I sent off a couple of messages and... nothing. After a few days I was able to ask a couple of said 'chatters' here via PM..'hey what's doin'?? Huh they say... where ya been?' Or words to that effect.

Forced Feminization: A Writer's Explanation!

Submitted by on

Author: 

Dear Readers,

As a writer of fictional feminization stories, I thought it would be helpful to provide my readers with a brief explanation for my motives in writing. As a boy, I was never forced into dresses but my mother did indeed wish that I had been a girl. I did wear dresses at times and the experiences were pleasant ones for me. However, I do not advocate forced feminization of a child in real life.

Sweet, tg stories!

Hi Girls,

I thoroughly enjoyed writing my first story for the new "Big Closet" and hope that you enjoyed it. I like to write g-rated stories of childhood feminization that delight both the child's mother and other female relatives as well as the child himself. The latter doesn't always immediately appreciate being prettily dressed but after a season in cute dresses, he usually begins to enjoy being a mommy's girl. Please feel free to contact me to discuss the story, your own experiences, or ideas that you might have for future stories. I try to answer all my mail promptly.

Cordially,

Bob called to point out something, we had over 85 visitors on BC at the same time. That meant some special load balancing software kicked in, turning off the right column stuff and the ability to make new blogs or forums. After a bit of twiddling, I decided the limits were too low so now the "throttle" won't kick in until we have about 95 visitors at one time. :) Thanks, Bob and thanks to everyone that was here between 11 and 12 EDT, today to give the system a workout.

Thought at first we had a harvester chomping at things but no, just people reading and maybe downloading by hand. :)

Most people with Gender Identity Disorder, transgender or however you want to describe it, demonstrate some degree of obsessionalism. For most of us it manifests as a form compulsion to indulge in what begins as our alter ego; only we find it isn't, it's the real us.

I'm thinking I'm gonna go ahead and post the next two chapters of "Echoes", though they haven't been proofed recently.

Also, to anyone reading the story:

There was a suggestion in the comments on the first two chapters concerning Miriam's name: I used some of the phrasing from that comment, and there is an explanation in the story- and it's a lot better in my opinion than that I didn't bother to check name spelling before writing the thing :P
