Sunday is here again!

redacted as to not cause an issue

Following on from my blog posts about Georgie Stone, it's sad to read that South Dakota House of Reps has passed a bill making it a criminal offence for doctors to treat transgender youths under the age of 16 with puberty blockers. Rep Fred Deutsch originally compared the treatment to medical experiments in Nazi concentration camps, although he's now backed off after widespread criticism. Many medical associations have expressed their dismay at the bill since untreated transgender youths are more at risk of suicide.

So, yeah.

Double good news day.

First, my little dog has bounced back a bit, so it seems like we will be spared making the hard choice for now.

Secondly, I went to the dietitian and I have lost more weight. I'm down to 308 lbs now, from a high of 338 lbs not too long ago.

so yay on both fronts.

After reading the latest Camelot Network Solutions I started backtracking to find out about a character I didn't remember. I discovered that #7 is not there. I tried all the usual things - forced reload, clearing the buffers, even tried on a seperate device, all with no luck. Still keeps saying a 0 word count.

My little dog's health is going downhill, and my mom is super stressing about how far we let things go before we say goodbye to the little fuzzball.

I'm doing what I can to help, but this is putting serious pressure on my spoon count.

Georgie Stone, 19-year-old transgender rights advocate and her mother Rebekah were both awarded a 'Medal of the Order of Australia' (OAM) in this year's Australia Day awards. Georgie was the youngest recipient this year. Identifying as female at the age of two, Georgie and her mother were instrumental in having the Australian law changed so that transgender children no longer have to apply to the Family Court to start receiving stage 1 hormone-blocking treatment. Georgie started to receive hers at the age of 10.

Finally, after a week of trying, Amazon have passed the Gaby - Girls, Girls, Girl? paperback for retail!

Hi everyone on BC. With Momma E's letter to Helen, i feel it was a great ending to one of my longest stories i have ever writen. Oh how i wanted soooo much to keep it going but i never found anything that wasn't already addressed in the narrative. I had fun with Helen and Jo but i felt it was time to move onto something else. I left it open because 1) i wanted Helen to reflect myself a little and i am still not out of the closet so i would have literally no idea of how to proceed if she ever does come out on paper.

I just finished uploading my recently scanned MarCon 2000 35mm negatives to an album on Flickr:

Science overrides politics. Unfortunately, sometimes politicians override scientists.

I'm pretty sure the word is not parody, but it's something like that.

I've posted a brand NEW, NEVER BEFORE read on here book to kindle called A Light in The Darkness. Its only the first part of the book, 10 chapters but I'm REALLY excited about it. Its been a LONG time coming. I started it months ago and struggled for a while to get it done. I plan to post the second part in a few months time after this.

Here is a direct link to the store page, I'm sure someone more capable than me can clean this blog up a little better *crosses fingers* I'll also post a look at the cover too :).

Thanks in advance,

I have a collaborator (you know who you are, and you're doing a great job!) who's helping write a new story - it's in work when I find time. Not sure if I'll try to publish for revenue (earn a few $$$) or publish it serially here.

The problem I have is that sometimes I get a little too verbose, and I need someone who can read and then say "this section or paragraph is not needed" or "tighten up the long, boring dialog" or "why don't you narrate it instead of doing the longer dialog thing?" Also any obvious "WTF? This could NEVER happen!" bits.

I've seen a lot of postings here about how much anyone can learn about us on the internet. What makes me question just how much research is really being done is things like getting fund raising letters from both the Republican and Demacratic parties in the last few days. Obviously one of them has it wrong unles I'm even more mixed up than I thought. And obviously neither one has access to my bank records. Or maybe they just didn't ask google.

Was working on a story on bcts. Like usual it is there for awhile like a day or two. I had not copy pasted to clipboard like i usually do. I figured ok this is a good place to stop. Lets give it a look over. And clicked on preview..

Access denied..

all my work gone.

I am so pissed off. I have never had this come up before.

p.s. I did save some of it but only about half of it in a file before.

What happened to the Book 11 Lost and Found Books & Who was the Author????

thought folks might be interested in this offer from Lulu

Look, its been a full day okay?

Hi,

Just a quick update and a little ranting

I wasn't doing OK before my last post and I definitely got worse after. Feel sorry for the pup have to put up with me.

I'm back in full defensive, dropping out of chat's /fora or being seriously inactive.

IRL, wel I didn't have anything going on either and that didn't change in the last few months. Most social contact I have is with the guy owning the 'fritkot' in the neighbouring city a few times a month and the neighbours.

Its been a productive day today,

The actors, actresses on the big screen are a very small part of the people necessary in making a movie.
Let's not forget the setting (stage and props) very well runs into millions
The equipment, not only the cameras, the booms, lifts, the cranes, mobile homes, trucks, campers, etc.
Food, oh yes, the staff, actors, extras, and kitchen personnel need food and refreshments
Someone said every movie, especially the major movies are a city unto themselves. I think they are more a blend of corporate business, industry, and the working class.

Whatever talents I have, they don't extend to the visual arts. But I do sometimes like to have something to work from, to help visualization. An artist named Jirla Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen (http://www.jirkavinse.com/) has done a series of images of Disney characters as real people. Relevant to the story:

For those that like my story or care. I heavily edited the first 3 episodes of The Huntress Chronicles. I needed to put them more in line with my vision. I did not like the way I told them and needed to fix a few things. I hope that doesn't put you off, I know going back and reading isn't fun but honestly you don't have to. I did change some things but they aren't huge enough to warrant a reread.

Hello people,

Rasufelle very recently started a new group doing regular dungeon crawls which is an awesome idea. However, since most of that happens at late American times, it's a bit difficult for us Europeans to join. So, I'm considering organising a second group running at more European friendly times.
Unfortunately due to my day job, I'm not sure I can run this alone.

So if you are interested, please drop Sunshine a line on this discord channel.

Kind regards,

Saphira

        Reversal Rings 3 -- Lost and Found
        by Morpheus, as are the following two

Steve, depressed and overweight, living in the doldrums of an inescapeable life, finds the ring that was previously dropped by the 6yo girl who found himself in 14yo Jamie's body. Putting it on, he finds himself in Ross's girlfriend, Shiela.

This is quite a positive development for Steve. Shiela, once she tries calling home and hears her own voice, decides that she never really was Shiela but instead was always the overweight slob Steve. So she decides to get on with his life.

Ok so I went to go pick up my daughter and take her to school cause it was -38 C. On my way there I listened to the traffic report, and apparently, there was a car on fire on one of the main roads. Let me say that again. The car was ON FIRE. I thought to myself, "I bet that person is having the worst day they've had in a while. Because things would have to be going pretty badly before it was 'my car caught on fire in -38 C' bad."

Hello out there,

I hope everyone's doing well.

I've been a bit more depressed lately than usual so I've been throwing most of my spare time into a mobile game. I generally only do that when it's really bad like don't want to participate in the real world bad.

Last year I was able to harness the depression and focus it all into writing and I'm having a hard time doing it again.

I am not sure that I know enough about this to comment. I am relaying what I saw on BBC, about a notice that American NSA put out. Apparently there is a security issue with a .DLL file that Microsoft is scrambling to fix.

Microsoft has been in touch with me, saying that I did not pay for Windows 360, so I have to prove I did. This may cost me $200. I go in tomorrow at 11 AM to see what can be done.

I finally got up the nerve on Wednesday to go bra shopping. I have been wearing one in public ever since so I big milestone for me. When I was at the store they told me if I charged anything to my first credit card which was a store card it would be reflected in my balance right away. So I ordered some final sale bras online and thought that I had been charged for them already so I thought I was fine with a couple more things.
Dot said something to me and I called and it’s not actually been charged yet, because of the nature of the items and the final sale I can’t return them.

Yes, after over a year of posting on Fictionmania I have arrived at Big Closet!
Thanks to Chris at TransScripts for suggesting that there is a whole new audience here, and so it has proved to be.

Some of you will notice that an update has appeared to my latest short story, "Meetings in Moxgo".

This is because the original contained a number of minor errors which, although they did not detract from the tale, were a cause for annoyance. Thus, I have changed a few minor matters which required changes and tweeked a few others.

I was just wondering if the stories about Cassidy and Drew Nance are going to continue. I enjoyed reading both.

Hi friens ♥

First and foremost I wish to apologize to everyone on this site for spamming the blog links. I wish there was another place to post where most would see it. But if most are like me, they never wander past the Home Page.
Okay, I thought this was appropriate because of the readers on this site may be interested in what has been accomplished even if they weren't born in Colorado.
Colorado Allows Transgender Residents ‘New’ Birth Certificate, No Surgery Required

the worst part of being beat up by Mr. Nasty is nothing he says is totally false. The list of my failures, the black goo in my subconscious my self-destructive tendencies, it all has basis in fact. So as much as I hate to keep asking, of you actually like me, could you remind me as to why?

I think one of the reasons I've been struggling with my writing lately is that I'm facing a difficult choice which is taking up most of my attention. See, I'm at a point that I have to say yes or no to stomach surgery, and I'm having a great deal of difficulty in deciding. Either choice will have ramifications for me for possibly the rest of my life, and I just dont know what to do.

Ah, well.

Mindful2, The Follow-up to Mindful is finally on Amazon Books, Kindle. Search for 'Mindful2 by Beverly Taff'.

This is the complete novel including the final chapter.

I'm thinking of a possible follow on titled 'Mindful3' because I did leave a narrow opening to expand the story but I'm still deciding in what context and theme the story can go forward.

Beverly.

First one is a new girl is at school and saves a boy turns out she is rich they both switch genders and fall in love I believe it takes place in England
Second story a boy lives across the street from a stripper and is feeding her cat he has a medallion that allows him to change into into the last person wearing the cloths they end up losing the medallion and he is stuck as her twin
Thanks charlize

I present to thee, a new Gaby chapter and the 2nd edition of Gaby Book 5!

I feel great (said sarcastically)
Actually I spent Christmas in the hospital undergoing an emergency 8 hour surgery cutting a massive cancerous growth from my stomach. Marry christmas to me indeed. Damn

ok, so I am annoyed. the past couple times I've posted a new chapter to Brain Donor, I've had to deal with someone that has sent me private messages negatively critiquing the story. Largely because it doesn't follow what THEY want to see. I'm writing a story about a person that is NOT happy about their new gender, and I'm being told by this person that that's not the story I should be writing. their personal head-canon is that the main character should be thrilled that they are now a 12 year old girl, instead of a 26 year old male.

I really thought this would be the last part but much as I wanted to wrap up the story I underestimated how much I had left to tell. This time I won't claim Part 21 is the penultimate chapter. I hope it is but . . .
