Mid month bills and a slight overdraft

Blog About:

I covered the overdraft from my own money but we still need funds for current and past due bills.

The loss of 2/3 of our ad revenue (~$1000/mo) is still hurting.

Any financial help will be appreciated.

Thanks to everyone who has sent money. We really depend on you, more than you know. :)

Thanks for any amount you can send. All contributions are very welcome. Thanks a great deal to all who have previously contributed here or paid for a membership at Patreon or Hatbox.


Many thanks!

Stuck in the Middle


In this chapter, the weight of unspoken fears and cruel words takes its toll, unraveling a fragile sense of security. Moments of lighthearted routine are overshadowed by the sting of doubt, forcing difficult emotions to the surface. As internal struggles intensify, the search for belonging clashes with the fear of rejection, leading to a choice driven by uncertainty. Tension lingers in every quiet moment, underscoring the delicate balance between trust and self-preservation.

“You have been a busy boy. She is, follow me.”

We followed her to the far corner of the churchyard, where there was a long line of small plots. There, we stood in front of the grave of the six-week-old Jacqueline Hubert. I gave one bunch to Maisie, who knelt down and arranged it on the tiny plot. Geraldine had tears running down her ghostly face.

Toni passes me some tissues and a bottle of nail polish remover. “Here this worked the best when it happened to my locker.”

She’s not shouting but she’s strongly saying it and she’s doing it in this whole tough proud thing even if she’s this short little Loli-girl.

I nod, I do the same as her and mentally shift my big girl panties in place and take the stuff and start wiping away the hate stuff like it’s nothing, like it means nothing.

I think this is the right thing to do.

Trust Machines - Attempt on the Record

Takes place in dkfenger's Trust Machines universe (universe can be found on deviantart). All over the globe, so called 'Venn Machines' are popping up. Those machines allow two people to enter two opposite booths and then transform each other into whatever they want for a predetermined timespan ranging from eight hours to three years. Every change is possible, including changes into the opposite gender, animals or even objects such as clothing.

This story is mainly object transformation (people into clothing), but there's also an important TG change. :)

The local college's cheerleading squad heads off to set a new record. Of course the record in question involves a Venn Machine...

Many of my Trust Machines stories are animal, creature or object tf, but this one is mainly TG, therefore I decided to post it here as well.

Weekend Fun

Imagine you live in a world where body switching technology exists. You have invited your best friend over for a typical guys weekend, spent by watching movies.

But when your best friend finally appears on your doorstep, he's not in his own body. And he, now she, suggests different fun for the weekend...

This is one of my tf-themed stories I posted on deviantart. Since it's TG-only, I thought it'll fit in here as well.

Two stories from BCTS in this volume:

Danny's Perdition: It’s the 24th century and Danny has discovered that his work for the government has several times condemned people to termination. The newest suspect has been thoroughly transformed by a department called “Visual Perfection,” and now Danny must do his duty, once again. Would traveling across the continent in an antique machine offer a realistic alternative?

Also included A Dollar Short: Tilford has a dead-end job. The idea that someone would offer him a great position seems alien.
