New Year, new problems.

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.

Trying to find a story

Forums: 

I'm looking for a story that i once read several months ago, but now I don't remember the title
It's about a guy who gets feminized by his girlfriend for a party, she makes him walk in heels while she's driving
Later they and their friends buy dresses and he has to spend more time wearing girl's clothes
I never read the ending, so that's all i know
I think the girl's name was Samantha, but I'm not sure

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’m in financial trouble

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.

Story Updated

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.

You may have heard of the term "Stockholm syndrome".

It really can happen, especially to children who grow up in abusive households. When you are dependent on your abuser, when they are the person who is supposed to take care of you and they hurt you, it is very easy to come to believe they are right to hurt you. That you deserve what they do to you.

Cheerleader 10: Sophomore Winter

Sophomore Winter, the Tenth book in the Lee Corcoran series, follows Lee Corcoran, who has completed his freshman year in college at the University of Michigan. His life does not follow the typical male athlete path.

While the book is written to allow a reader to enjoy it without all of the history, if you want to understand all the characters and dynamics in their lives, reading the previous nine books is the only way. Long-term threads and relationships tie the books together. These books primarily follow Lee and his best friend Darby, a girl.

making a difficult choice

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.

Audio Books, be warned

Received an email from a company who supposedly promotes books for authors and publishing companies who don't have the means or manpower to do it themselves. There are Book Fairs in Germany and India among many others where the larger publishing companies, and the book store chains bid on the book, bid on owing the writer's rights to all his her stories, legal right to distribution in a certain area, a nation, or world wide. The choices are endless and of course so are the prices the bidders offer for each selection.

Melancholia

Sometimes, it is difficult to put things into words, emotional turmoils, horrific memories & when these things are at the peak of your being it is all you can really think about.
I try, to do my best, I try to give to others within my capabilities, I try to be there for people, I try to live, I try not to cause my own demise, I try to do alot of things that that are in the hopes, more rewarding for others then it is for myself....

It's MY story and I'll tell it how I want to!

Author: 

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.

This was my fourth holiday season since going full time as my true self, and the best yet. Whether because I have become more natural and comfortable in myself, and hence more passable, or because the public around me is simply becoming more accepting, I can’t say. Perhaps a little of both?

bad dream last night

I had a really bad dream last night:

in the dream I was back in school, got lost and so was late to a class that seemed to be all about taking a pile of objects and making something from them. I had no idea what I was doing, spilled all my stuff on the floor and ended up late leaving the classroom because I was trying to clean up my mess

I keep having dreams like this. Clearly my subconscious is trying to tell me something, and will keep hammering me till I get it, but other than a sense of frustration and failure I'm drawing a blank.

It is eating away at me, ugh I hate when this happens

I am looking for a story, I cannot recall the demographics (title, date and or author)

A guy is abused by his sister & mother, but only by the mother because the sister is manipulating her into 'punishing' him for abusing 'her'.... which is complete bs, with feminization (not surprising right?)

A SUPERLATIVE fanfic Superman Story! (non tg)

This is an incredibly well written story from a very talented author on another site. I do not claim any ownership or credit for it other than having been led to it by another writer.

I am in the midst of re-reading this story and I am astounded by how well written it is and I hope these words will lead some of you to go to it, read it and then comment to the author.

IMHO it is more than good enough to be a movie script and should be the next superhero movie. The title is 'Veritas" and the author is "ShayneT"

New chapter of my Regency Romance - His Inconstant Desire

Just posted a new chapter of my Regency Romance, His Inconstant Desire. In this episode, Constantine has to deal with his female relatives desire to dress him appropriate to his new role as youngest daughter. Father wants to see her at dinner.

I'm trying to make this as much as possible within the realm of other Regencies. We have a heroine with an unusual past and a unique problem: in this case, she's been raised as a boy. That's not actually too far outside other Regency stories, that often feature tomboyish heroines with unusual backgrounds.
