The first post is like falling in love... I hope what I say will help you feel attracted to me and will make you come again to see if I have said anything new. I have a great challenge to attract you only with my words. I am sure an image would have been nice, moving images might have been better and even better would have been a three dimensional presence.

I'm a terrible tease. :) But does anyone have any idea what this is?

It's...

I'm sorry. The best laid plans and all that... Reality got a little too up close and personal today (not traumatic in any way, just very busy). I have Julie's finished story, and just need to finish formatting it for posting.

I was scoping out my favorite TG comics earlier this evening, one of which is Jade Gordon's Lean On Me. I've always found her artwork to be lovely, and since she's currently needing some commissions, I thought it might be time for me to get some drawings for my K&K series. Following some links in an effort to see if I could afford her, I went to Lulu.com to look at the book cover she did for a story titled Fool For Love by Lisa Lees. The Lulu page has a link to a preview of this story, and I was captivated immediately. This woman can write!

I wonder if this is accurate :)

Since everyone but John is done, or almost done, with their Holiday Contest submissions is it time for another Chat Room Exercise?

It would be nice to get some of the readers to participate.

What do you think?

I see that my description of my pup's origins have garnered a lot of comment.

I really don't know what his pedigree is, though there has been a lot of speculation. He is definitely part chihuahua. He is petite and has the typical coloration (colouration for those who read English.)

My apologies, but here come the jokes, inspired by a thread on Donna's story.

* * *

A girl walks into a bar with a dirty duck on her head. No one says anything to her while she takes a seat. She sips her drink quietly and shares a few peanuts with the duck who is frankly, quite filthy.

A lot of the stories in the contest seem to have a theme of wishing. So on that theme:

Chapter One of "Genomorph 2: The More Things Change..." is up at Scott's Vault. Be warned, it has practically nothing to do with the overall plot of the story. It's like the little 'Opening Gambit' bits they used to do on MacGyver - the little mini adventure Mac would have before the credits ran.

I know what I said, but I was mistaken. I have been handed the perfect opportunity to get one more out (I hope) for the competition, which should be with you before Christmas.

I can't tell you anything about it - I want it to be a surprise. Anyway, it largely depends upon whether I can get an editor (proofreader - whatever) in time. Fingers crossed.

It seems rather strange to realise it is not 12 months since I first had a peek in the closet. Who knows, something might fit... and what do you know... some did.

Yet again a possibly good site goes down the main stream and states that says - Welcome to the best in EROTIC Transgender (CD, TV & TS) stories on the Web! And the only premium TG story site. Where does an trans-author not interested in erotic stories go and publish there work. A lot of the readers have stated that my work is good, but words don't pay the bills.

{@Bob_A} hi Scott
{ScottRamsey} Hello

The site has been slow this morning because of a harvester operating out of an IP address in Bratislava, Slovakia. Moreover, I took the server and website down three times while reconfiguring things to block this creep.

Some experimental work on the site caused a few crashes between about 11:45 pm Sun and 1:30 am Mon. Sorry about that if you were on and did something because I had to restore the database so anything done in that time period is gone.

For anyone who has noticed, Fictionmania was temporarily down but should be accessible for everyone within a day or two.

Today, I found that comic-book artist Dave Cockrum had passed away. As an comic and X-Man fan, I'll miss him. Dave created or help create many of my favorite X-men characters: Night Crawler, Mystique, Storm, and many others.

I'm up at my brother's in Northern California for a few days, Bob's helping me keep an eye on things and for that I'm thankful. :)

Hugs to all,
Erin

I finally have a home for some of the supplementary data and images that I've used in the writing of my stories. Some of the pictures for Amazon will become available when they won't be spoilers. I've started with the pictures that set the stages for "Ma'at" at

While I have been around for a while in one guise or another, I thought I might actually get active.

Those who read authors' credits and pay attention to such things might recognize me as one of the volunteer proof readers for some of the authors who post here.

Either Bob or I, or both, will be in the BigCloset/Stardust chat room this Tuesday evening, November 7, 2006. Planned topic is the future of TG websites. We'll probably schedule another one for Sat or Sun next weekend for people who couldn't be at this one, like most people in Britain and Europe.

High School English class strikes again! I thought I'd share this email I received with everybody, it's certainly good for a laugh or three! For all the aspiring writers out there, do not use any of these in your works! (But I do have to admit, there are a couple here I quite like!)

Hi folks,

Erin and I are working on trying to get the gallery running again. As a temporary measure, you can reach the gallery HERE. Please DO NOT add things to this copy of the gallery since we're not certain that this is a permanent change.

Has the sapphire Site gone down or is it just a Web Update..
Hopefully it is just a web update..

any Info would be great..

Variety adds spice to life. When I was in high school, I once had a summer job working on my uncle's farm. One of my chores was to take care of the chickens. I quickly noticed this one chicken walking around all by itself outside the fence of the chicken coop. I asked my uncle about this and he said watch. He picked up the chicken and carried it inside the coop and set it down. It squatted down on the ground while all the other chickens ran up to it and started pecking it in the head. My uncle then picked it up and carried it outside and let it go. He told me that if he left it in the coop the other chickens would kill it. I've thought much on this over the years, and the only conclusion I could come to, was that the other chickens felt threatened by that one chicken because it was somehow different than they were.

Over at http://morfs.nowhere2go.org/ Britney has updated her site with new chapters on 2 stories.

Just got my new Mac. :) I'll probably be playing with it the next couple of days. I used the Firewire connection to my old machine to configure it and it's ready to go. :)

Like... why does everyone go ape dookey when they find out I hate myself?

For that matter, why does it matter that I realize how fugly I am? As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather be wrong about the truth than wrong about a lie.

Hmmm, I responded to a person in email and figured it was worth posting

I'm not sure what happened. I did not deliberately turn off comments when I posted Julie's latest story, but there doesn't seem to be any way to change that when I put the story in Edit mode.

I was wondering why I received a few comments in PMs and there were no comments posted for everyone to see -- very strange for a JulieO story!

We had a leak inside a wall that we were unaware of until it started making a circle of carpet wet. They came to fix it today and ripped a nice hole in the wall so they could replace the pipe, stirring up a fair amount of dust. I don't know what set me off, mold in the carpet or wall, the dust the workmen made or smoke from the fires on the mountains--I didn't think much about it til about 20 minutes ago when I almost passed out before realizing I was having an asthma attack. Good old inhaler put me right but of course now I've got a headache and I probably won't sleep tonight from the side effects. Better than a trip to the emergency room, though. :)

I'm better but still sick as two dogs, each of which is sicker than the other one. The antibiotics are clearing up the sinus infection but I still have a cold and sore throat, plus the meds leave me tired and feeling goofy.
