I've revised chapter 4 of Baseball Rose for clarity. I should have done this weeks ago, but I was lazy and only got around to it now since I started to work on the next chapter.

See the new version here

I am currently working on a new story and I would love two editors as this one I don't want to post without someone looking through it first. Send me a PM and I'll check back here every day or so for a response. Love you all and hope to have something ready to post soon.

I added some to the end of the story, as in reading back over it I realized that the commenters were correct. I stopped it too suddenly. It should be a lot better now.

The link tells it most of everything you need to know about it, except for the fact that the Girl mentioned is a fifteen year old on her high school baseball team.

This is one of the tings I have considered about my story Baseball Rose, how other schools would react to Melanie and Jay on the team. Apparently my thoughts on the subject, which would have come out later, were not too far off.

Hello BCTS,

I guess I am writing this in letter format as it seems to be a little more formal that way. Things took a severe detour for me a few months ago. I was asked not to write Tg fiction any more by my wife. It is probably the hardest thing that I have ever been asked to do by anyone. I truly love to write, and I love all of you here at BCTS. The problem exists, however, that this woman who I love feels truly uncomfortable with people knowing her as intimately as some of my writing allows. She is a very private person, and feels that I expose too much of myself, and others, when I write this type of fiction.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with her on some points.

The problem I have, however, is that there are no other communities out there like BCTS. I've looked. Nowhere is there this sense of togetherness that is so prevalent here.

So, I have a humble request of the people here. Would you mind if I posted my non-TG fiction here? I love the feedback I have recieved here and feel it makes me a better author. I can write without that...but it really is something I miss. It also keeps me writing. Just like certain characters (none my own) on this site, I am very unsure of my own abilities. When I lie awake at night, my self doubts plague me.

Regardless, I only ask because I value your opinions.

I guess this letter to you all has another purpose as well. I'm going to be removing my TG fiction from this site over the next couple of months. I love everything that you've all said about it, and enjoyed all of your responses, but I do have to take it down. I wanted to let you all know first so that you could get a copy of it, if you wanted. Please, do not post my works anywhere else. They are a piece of myself. They are, in a sense, my children. I am fine with them finding nice private homes, but they do not need to be exploited.

I will not be continuing the stories that are unfinished here, and would appreciate no one else attempting to finish them. Call it a bit of selfishness I am entitled to.

I do love you all, and hope that I don't offend any of you with my decision. I still feel a part of this community. I'm sorry.

Craig, the Faeriemage.

Something happened to my last change, and for some reason it did not appear on the site. Unfortunately I wrote the new stuff ON the site. RE-wrote it, and hopefully it is at least as good as the first version no one ever saw. It is really up there this time. I promise.
