another blog entry about my story. The part I am going to post has part of the ending in it, but isn't completly finished. There will probably be another chapter and an epilogue, depending on what y muse sais.

splurged and had made a "I heart team Dorothy" t-shirt

I'm writing a story that is set initially in Chicago around 1927. The bit that I need some assistance with is set in 1929 and located on the border between Virginia and West Virgina.
If there is anyone who can help with some of the period dialogue I'd be most greatful.

Samantha

The lady has moved from True Romance and into Action. Not everyone is going to be pleased. However if she doesn't put the action into her action story she is going to lose those who would read and or purchase her story. Those who follow her romance stories may or may not like the inclusion of the reality of life, violence, murder, suffering in her story.

"IF" one wishes to appeal to the broadest readership then they must write to include the whole story not truncate parts which don't appeal to a few select readers.

I havent seen any new stories from Morpheous either here or on whatley. Anyone know if he/she is okay?

February rolls along, the weather changing on a daily basis - warm, cold, windy, wet, sunny, snowy - perm any two or three randomly and you'll get the weather as close as the forecasters!

I was looking at my account info the other day, and realized that in about 3 months, I will be celebrating my 10th anniversary of being a member here.

And so I've been thinking about how I might knowledge this milestone with a story.

Right now, I'm not sure what I might do. I've got one small piece almost finished that might help me avoid not having anything to share for the next three months, but beyond that ...

I could do something like Randalynn's "Convergence: when stories collide", but I'm not sure what stories would make the cut.

Binary Part 4 is up. It's partly influenced by a comment from one of the readers that hit hard but was the blunt truth that I needed. If she wasn't respected by me I would have had a negative reaction but she had a point and her point helped shape this part. With only three main characters and a lot of backstory unfurling as they talk this part is closer to my normal style of writing. And yes, I know it falls into the usual tropes regarding a girl just starting out into girlhood.

I mentioned yesterday it was warmer so I left home as the snow was falling this morning!

I haven't seen any update to TG forum and thought people would like to know that "Babs" passed a few days ago, the funeral was yesterday. Gov Murphy gave a very nice eulogy with many interesting anecdotes and what a sendoff! Ran into many old friends from the transgender community I hadn't seen in years. Babs was an icon in our community and accomplished much in the struggle for transgender rights.

My doctor has no idea how to take me. Last visit I told the ladies in reception I was coming back as a pirate since I was on crutches. They thought it would be funny and I should do it. Never give encouragement to an idiot. We don't think it through.

Howdy doody!

Here's a situation: I've named a certain character Orville. Yet for some reason, I always think of him as "David", and have to forcibly correct myself.

Has this happened to others? Does it often happen?

I think that anyone who wants to can follow the "Jazz Story", and it seems to me like there is a lot of hype going on, but to be fair, perhaps she is having problems?

I have never seen a Trans girl look as good and sound as good as her. Is that what a lot of coaching and surgery can do or is she actually Intersex? At any rate, I wish her the best.

Since I finished my pathfinder story, I've rally been missing Tiffany, aka crazypagangurl, who was a big help in the making of the tale.

Rest in peace, my friend.

I'm a mediocre writer at best, and that fact finally penetrated.

It does appear as if my passion is activism and I spend hours at it every day. Mostly, I blog under a number of different names, about Transgender and Intersex issues, but my real love is researching Belief and the Anthropology of its prehistory. Of course there is the inevitable interference with some Political or Environmental issue, but I won't even attempt to bring any of that in here.

I have posted "2 Women, 2 Children, 2 dogs." It is the start of "How I Became Crossgender."

Well it took some doing but I've now got flights booked, accommodation sorted and entry completed for my 10th Spreewald Marathon, the 200km bike ride south of Berlin.

Binary, my first attempt at diving into the Whateley universe, has been posted.

It's not that good when compared with the greats like Morpheus or ElrodW, but I am trying to make my own mark on there and give a different take. I know that family abandonment, MCO intrigue, and trying to hide your heritage are cliche in the Whateley world, so I'm not doing that. I just hope that readers can wait a bit for action and accept that not everything has to be about Humanity First, MCO, superheroes, or supervillains chasing people around- sometimes, it's about them being normal people.

... that I am not totally sure if I read it here or maybe somewhere else.

The gist of the story is thus...

A police officer, not a big guy, kind of fem and small, goes on a stakeout dressed in female clothes as bait for a criminal.

In the evening they, he and his much more buch female partner end up in a fire fight and he gets shot and his groin area is basically destroyed. He then does not have much of a choice and they do an imprompto GRS on him.

I'm struggling to write a coherent story set in the Whateley Universe that doesn't misuse characters or break any rules about powers and actions. I have had to scrap one plot then try to go with a second one while working around a third one. I am lucky that I at least set the story in a place that I know and that hasn't been the full setting for a story despite it being visited- the Boston area. I am even luckier in that my character's powers haven't been used in the same way by others even if it's partly like two or three other characters.

I think I've worked through the block that was keeping me away from here.

At least assuming we're not gonna see any entries from Japan/China.

As a reminder, everyone has until the end of February to do their reading and voting (these were a bit longer than your average contest entry story after all!) I'll announce contest winners at the end of the first week or so of March!

Thanks again to everyone who entered the contest. It's been really special to me seeing how enthusiastic everyone, both readers and authors, have been about this one, and I'm really glad we all did this together.

A little chuckle for everyone

Got up this morning and turned on the TV, the news reported it was -33F outside this morning.

Out of curiosity I went online to check to see what the temperature was in Hell, MI (Yes there is a real town in Michigan names that.)

It was only -13F there this morning

That makes it officially colder than Hell here!

Just a quick one here to say Chapter 5 is the final chapter of Morningstar. I've written it so that it can easily become an ongoing series of short stories later on, if there is enough call for further adventures of Lucy :)
