Some of you may know that I wrote the oneshot "The Hero's & Demon's Double Rampage".

Some of you may also know that I have a blog at http://hugginglove.blogspot.my/

What some of you may not know is that.. people actually visit my blog.

I've grown more and more concerned about you. Please let us know that you are okay? If there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to message me. You can even call me on skype at Cathy_t_. If you've tried to do that under a different or male name, I don't accept skype messages from males unless I know them from some other venue.

Hello,

Today Dan Shive posted a comic on his EGS:NP section that was very funny, and was a scene, dealing with the gender bending genre that is rarely mentioned, let along discussed.

The comic can be found here: http://www.egscomics.com/egsnp.php?id=374

I found that comic to be hilarious.

The scene dealt with that two gender benders, in their female forms, not having any body hair, with the natural girl being clearly jealous for them not having to shave their legs, among other things.

Do to very bad cold This Wednesdays chapter is delayed. Sorry folks.

Sorry folks real life interrupted my writing time tonight, hopefully will do better tomorrow.

Angharad & the team.

I can't remember the name of it or the characters. I remember a couple lives across the way from an older woman who turns out to be a witch. She feeds the man herbal tea that over time mutates his soul so it resembles her body and no longer fits his own. Eventually he feels extremely broken down and she uses a kiss or mouth to mouth to swap their souls.

Familiar to anyone? I have been trying all sorts of search variations here and FM and striking out.

Thanks!!

Frank

I've finished writing the first part of Gaby Book 14 and as has become habit it will be available via Kindle and Lulu from Sunday, yes the 25th of October!

Overall i'm running a little behind schedule but not so much I can't catch up! The next segment should be @ 3 weeks away so after a long wait there will be a quick succession of Gabyness for the fans, I hope it's worth waiting for!

The completed book is still due over Christmas / New Year and with a following wind I might have the next Nena out about the same time - it's 2/3rds written already.

Does anyone remember the "Write Club Duels"? http://www.asstr.org/~Rui_Favorites/Write_Club/

I'm really annoyed today for lots of different reasons, and I can't really concentrate on work or the stories already in progress.

So to get my head in order, I'm asking for some challenges and ideas.
If you can please give me one or more of the following:
1) a really strange plot hook, 1 to 2 sentences.
2) three or more things, settings, locations, characters, etc, that don't seem to fit together.
3) a single sentence, the stranger the better, that has to be properly used in the story.

Ok... first thing. Go find a box of tissues. Bring them to wherever you plan to read. I'll wait.

Tissues ready? Good. You're going to need them. I certainly did, when I first read this in drafts and again while editing.

I recently finished a short series ”Difference”. I realized that I disappointed some people since I didn’t write a grand narrative, like many others on this site do very well, and that I didn’t let my protagonist grow up into a happy girl.

Is it always the beginning of writing a story that's the hardest? Forcing yourself to lay down the words that you want to tell, only to find later as you edit it over that that part is now easier to do then the first time while looking endlessly at a blank screen or piece of paper? Hell even when you had some words down it was hard to continue as you fought the urge to edit what you had.

I'm starting a new YA novel, post-apocalyptic, fairly dark but realistic dark not just dark for the fun of it, and where the female MC cross dresses for safety. The story involves a trip halfway across the continent on a scientific recovery mission, with giant monsters, bandits, raiders, and other problems plaguing them.

The Crystal Hall forums still being offline, today's story release of Elrod's "Wine, Women, and Ayla" (Part 2) can be commented on here. Once we get a working non-hackable forums and commenting system up and going, we'll transfer details over. In the meantime, we'll do what we can to ensure our authors receive their regular feedings of kudos and praise. Enjoy:

I just don't get it. Two stories by great and very skilled authors go with almost no kudos and comments. It is honestly disgusting that this happens.

Mad, just mad !!!!

Does anybody know what happened to Barbara Allen.
I have not seen anything since last Christmas?

It's been done before

Some fanfiction author is going to sue. The 10th anniversary (has it been that long?) Twilight is going to have a genderswapped version of the story.

(I included NSFW based upon what people are likely to say when they see the story. I couldn't find a Caution for horrible things.)

The next chapter of Mother's Child will be delayed until at least Tuesday. I'm having editing problems. Sorry for the delay.

Question about who would be the most girly Jaci or dorothycolleen. or if they were to be in a contest for who would be the cutest were would they land on the list.

i think it would be a tie with both of them for first place

Ok, things are going to slow down for a bit. Most of what I've been posting was already written and only needed editing/rearranging.

Now I'm getting to new stuff (or at least newly completed/expanded) and things are likely going to be more spaced out.

Also, my muse decided that now was the time to take the note (and a couple paragraphs of actual story) I had for Don & Alice and go with them.

Don and Alice are *different*. VERY different.

I suspect that many people aren't going to like their background a lot. Alas, they are what they are. And their background, interests, etc are a big part of how they wind up at Whateley as well as how & why they have their abilities.

Often while I'm driving I come up with a lot of thoughts. I've been thinking a lot about explaining transgender to people and this is what I came up.

The argument for those who don’t understand how a person can be transgender:

If I stripped you of your anatomy, would you still identify as a male/female?

(I assume the answer is yes)

This Sunday, October 4th, Felicia Day and friends will be discussing 'Rosemary and Rue', the first book in Seanan McGuire's October Daye urban fantasy series. Vaginal Fantasy is a 'romance book club', which meets once a month to discuss a book. Strictly speaking, 'Rosemary and Rue' and the series as a whole doesn't fall into the romance genre, but there is romance involved, sandwiched between the bloodshed. It should be a good time, though be warned, there may be spoilers.

Since Tris Shandy posted the link to the Wonder City stories I have gotten totally lost in this amazing collection of tales. Am I the only one? http://wonder-city.dreamwidth.org/11192.html
The writer is simply dead on with characterizations and the plots interweave and leaves me breathless from trying to keep up. Simply amazing stuff. Thank you Tris, for this great headsup.

boring episode where teens ride bikes up some mountain in Switzerland. There is a mention of something more interesting at the end - oh yeah food!
