Hey everyone! I'm working on a MAU story that I want to take in a slightly different direction. In this case I have a question for you SF Fans out there in Big-Closet Land!

I found this while surfing the web tonight.

Well, it's May eight again, my birthday. In the past, I used to hide given the outright disasters that used to happen today. My darling, wonderful wife vowed to change that.

Well, Old Faithful, the 14 year old Hp computer that was always there as a backup when newer machines failed finally called it quits.

I just saw a trailer for RIPD, a movie coming out this summer. I don't think I can explain it very well, but there is a TG like scene.
Watch it for yourself.\!

Sorry. Accidentally posted an unproofed version. Today has been one of THOSE days. I'll try and post the corrected story tomorrow.

For the last few days I've occasionally have received the Broken page/link message while hitting the HOME button at the bottom of the page. It's not always, but it is annoying.

Hey everyone! As you can see yes, I did miss the Christmas Contest deadline. However, that's a story in itself.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas for everyone who wants it! This is just a friendly note letting everyone know I'm still more or less active, but like so many having a bit of trouble.

I just stumbled across news that Brandy DeWinter has a pair of new stories up. The links are http://www.tigger-n-brandy.net/brandy/nightwind_tnb_format3....

Hey! For those following the SF FreeRIDEr's stories over on Shifti two more tales have been posted after a rather long wait. 'Walkabout' by Jet Fire, and 'Meetings Complete' by Robotech.

Okay since Shaun.v has already kinda sorta mentioned FreeRIDErs, I'll go ahead and put in my two cents. FreeRIDErs is a series of stories that is currently being posted over at Shifti.org. It takes place in the far future on another planet called Zharus which is a type of super-earth. Bigger than Earth but with similar gravity due to lesser density.

It is very much an anime style tale with animal styled powered-armor that uses nanites to help merge the AI armor and human pilot into one form. There are a lot of gender changes in the stories as a whole, although not every story has TG.

Hey everyone! Bek D. Corbin has posted part of a new, non-Whateley story at Crystal Hall, "Advancer: Asset O8." http://www.crystalhall.org/ and http://www.crystalhall.org/library/BekDCorbin/Advancer1.html

Today I've run across a book by T. Aaron Payton, 'The Constantine Affliction.' It's a Victorian Steam-punk book with a strong TG element. Neither primary characters are affected, but several secondary ones are.
Since it is by Baen Books there are teaser chapters and can be purchased though their E-book service.

Wow have I really been here THAT long? :) I recently was asked a question and I had to go check. How many stories have I written. The answer is a little vague, but this is me after all. More than 50 not including two novels. The sad part is I probably have at least as many incomplete sitting in a stack of notebooks and my hard drive. I do hope to complete them someday, but I'm dependent on the fickleness of muses. I'm also not as functional as I would like which is a sore point with me since I'm not nearly as challenged as many here.

SF great Ray Bradbury has died. His was among the first SF stories I ever read.

Does anyone else frets about the posting thing or is it just me? I, like us all, like having my story having some page time before falling off the bottom. I've found myself watching to see if a slow time shows up. It's like timing the merry go round so you can step on.

Should I post now? No, wait until after Bike. Is it time yet, hey here's a new one by Maggie. Got to read that one. Should I post now? No, let's wait for tomorrow. :)

So yes I finally got this one posted.

The last I heard from him was last Christmas. I'm a little concerned and ashamed that I haven't sent out an hello are you alright sooner. Does anyone know if he's okay?

Heather too. She goes into surgery this morning for her kidney stones at about an hour and a half from now.

Big Hugs Heather!

Hey Everyone. Here is fair warning I'm going to be out of contact for a while. Understanding Spouse has scored some Disney World tickets so we're off to the Magic Kingdom. While there I hope to corner that fairy godmother of mine. She has some s'plaining to do! :) Just a Swhish and flick and everything will be right as rain! ;) Look for next weekend or so. The recovery might take awhile.

Here's a site that generates fake newspaper headlines. Thought it might prove useful to some of the authors here.

Warning!!!!!!!
Unlike his Legacy stories this one is not Work safe. It has a lot of sex in it!

Hey everyone! We made it to Florida in one piece. Tomorrow comes opening the truck up and see how much of our stuff survived! Surprisingly a laptop we thought out of order was able to connect us. This is good! Being able to reach out to the community has always been my lifeline.

Hugs
Grover and Understanding Spouse :)

Well this is it. We're in the final stages of moving. I get the truck today and when we get that sucker packed it's hit the road time. The internet is due to be cut off any time now, and I don't know when we're get everything connected back up and online again. Hopefully not too long. Writing of course has taken second fiddle to the more immediate concerns of real life. I will do my best not to kill too many good story ideas by telling them to myself on the trip. There's that delicious zone of where the tale is unfolding that's like riding a wave.

Hey everyone! We're home! Our trip was successful and now comes the waiting as the paperwork is processed. Then pack all our stuff up and head due south. :)
Hugs!

Well, Supergirl is over. Long live Ms. Marvel! This got a better reception than I hoped, but there is going to be a long lapse before there is more. Understanding Spouse and I are heading to check out the Tampa Bay area before moving there next month. The usual turmoil of such things will make any writing I do very problematic. This also means if I'm out of contact for a few days, don't worry everything is fine! I should be back online Monday at the latest, but will be up to my neck in sorting, packing and arranging for things to hopefully go smoothly.

Happy Feasting Day!

I wrote this first as a comment but thought it worthwhile to repeat in a blog.
Like I've said before there are elements in 'I'm Not Supergirl' that just doesn't fit into the canon universe. Additionally someone else has the canon rights to that character. Other characters are also going to appear that others have also claimed prior to me. The biggest reason for this is that I write too cotton-picking slow!

After so long, I finally finished my Retcon fanfic. I always knew it would end up fanfic because Lilith stated that the Man or Maid of Steel would not be making an appearance. However, I had an idea I thought was interesting and fun. I just wanted to have a little fun with the concept and run with it. Things got crazy when others finished theirs way, way before I did and helped shaped the Retcon universe. That caused me all kinds of problems until I managed to work my way around it. In the end, I finished and I'm rather happy with it.

Wouldn't you know it! Now that I've finally got stuff to post and am being productive again, here comes a disruption, A Really Big One. Understanding Spouse has been transfered from Columbia SC to Clearwater Fl. There's not a pay increase but they are picking a large chunk of the moving cost. Additionally, there has been talk of closing the office here in Columbia anyways. Better a job in Fl. than unemployed in SC if you know what I mean. Plus the standard of living is about the same or so I'm assured by the web.
