Wishful thinking

I need opinions here.

I have a few short story ideas I'd like to throw about. They are transformational gender-bent stories that have, admittedly, taken a little time away from Accidental Magic. though some are just random ideas made into small vignettes and mostly unfinished...

...Would anyone be interested in reading them?

(Most of) My house is finally finished!!

I know this is hopelessly off topic, but...

A year and a half ago, at just a hair over 40, I ended my adult lifetime of apartment dwelling and bought a very cheap rather small house.

I started renovations right away; had my tenant move out (I shared the whole house with him,our own bedrooms, but other than that, totally sharing).

Here's what all got done (if anybody is even remotely interested);

Why Fantasy Matters.

Hey Everyone! As most folks who've read any of my stories knows I write mostly Sci-Fi or Fantasy based stories. While at the Sci-Fi writers site today I spotted this article and since it's about writing decided that is would be okay to post here. It is of course "Why Fantasy Matters" and in my own humble opinion rocks!

Five for Fifty (Chp.4)

Cierra nodded solemnly and swallowed, “But … I think I could be pretty good at sports … for a girl that is … and … and I know it wouldn’t be as much fun for you … like it would be if I was your son … but … I’ll try really hard and I won’t cry and … if I’m tall I bet I’ll be good at basketball if my knees aint busted again … or I’ll play baseball … or maybe even football … and that would be cheaper for you then if I was a boy ‘cause you won’t got to buy me a cup … just pads.”

David’s face turned crimson as he dropped it against his chest and whined. “Five women in the house … I’m always buying pads.”

Feminizer Disease Takes My Body Over - Chapter 18

I melted as Steve, of all people wanted to buy me jewelry. He put his big strong arms around me and pulled me in to give me a goodbye peck on the cheek. I was putty in his arms and melted with his kiss on the cheek. He whispered in my ear, "Terri, see you Saturday, I will pick you up at 3, please stay for dinner and maybe you could bring your new purchase from Victoria's Secret too".

Penny's From Heaven

A few days ago we had a discussion on this board about GLBT and its in-fighting.

Thanks are due to Erin for allowing this discussion to continue, even though it was frought with peril. Thanks are also due to all those who took part in a civil discourse regarding an important issue.

After thought, I felt a need to clear my remarks publicly.

I said, "No . . . Penny. Your anger shouldn't be aimed at those who lump you in with gays. Your anger should be at those who have saddled you with the prejudice that makes you feel upset that you are considered gay."

The Witch's Tarot - the final chapter

To all of you who are in the least bit interested, I have sent the final chapter to Gabi for her to pass her magic wand over and as soon as it is returned, dusted and ready, I will be posting it.

Now last time this happened, I felt foolish as I assumed Gabi would return it within about two and a half minutes--as she usually does, but it didn't happen. So this time, when she's done, you'll get it, alright?

Hugs

Sorry, Everyone...

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to apologize for my sudden and extended absences over this past year, and hopefully try to shed a little light on things. This isn't an excuse, mind you. I know the internet is by its very nature very transitory, but I feel like if I'm ever going to get past this, I need to get it out in the open somewhere that I feel safe in doing so.

It's been a really interesting year for me. I feel like I've grown and learned so much about myself since that fateful first blog post nearly a year ago. But at the same time it's been quite rough.

Please use this space to beat my ASS!

I am terribly sorry for this afternoon's nuclear weapon. There are some things really bothering me and I just senselessly lashed out at anything close. I just wish I could sit down and cry and I will but my brain isn't ready to do it.

The TD Aldonetti thing, the killing of the officers near Seattle, the Fort Hood thing, and several other things plus the fact that I am sick and have been since mid September and worrying about my adoptive children, and any other lame ass thing I can think of are making be act like a bitch!

Just a comment about the 4 officers killed in Parkland, WA

Hi all,
I realize this is not really related to Big Closet/Top Shelf stories, but I had to write it out, just to clear my mind of the tragedy.
This is my first attempt at a blog ever, so I will be brief.
As I knew two of the officers very well; I was, to say the least, astonished and am totally in grief about it.
The woman officer and the Sgt were the two I knew, as they used to come to my jail to pick up prisoners we had for them. I wish many condolences to their families and I do know that they are in a much better and peaceful place now.

I am Divorced

Hi all,

After 24 years and 11 months I am now divorced. Surprisingly for the first time in 50 years I am alone (not an island, but rather by myself) for the first time ever. I am blessed with friends and family (biological and those I have invited or been invited into that special place), and have the luxury of time to continue rebuilding my life.

Don't Let Me Get Me...

Hello again! That song was just playing a bit ago and should give you a clue as to how I've been feeling the last few days. I'm really getting tired of it (the feeling, not the song. I rather like it ;).

Anyway, I thought I'd drop in and let you lot know I'm still around, if not as active as I'd like to be. Seems like every time my muse makes an appearance and I start to get some writing done, I get all depressed again! What's with that, I ask you?!

"Megan?" I heard someone ask while we were eating. I turned to look, and Emily was standing there, looking at me trying to decide if what she was seeing was real.

"Hi Em," I started, not quite sure how to explain my presence

Any spare pocket money?

According to this link on the Beeb, some of Audrey Hepburn's gowns and hats are up for auction, so if you fancy some new glad rags... Oh, I'd better warn you, the last two pieces of her stuff that were auctioned raised over a million pounds ...but then it's for a good cause. Breakfast at Tiffany's anyone?

New (dodgy) gender differences research

Men's genes 'may limit lifespan'
Men carry the seeds of their own destruction in the genes present in their sperm, research suggests. Scientists working on mice have highlighted a specific gene that, although carried by both sexes, appears to be active only in males. They believe it allows males to grow bigger bodies - but at the expense of their longevity. The study, by Tokyo University of Agriculture, appears in the journal Human Reproduction.

Sad News

I'm not sure many of you have paid it any attention over the last few months but Goldie Hunter has not frequented the forum for months. The sad news is that Goldie has passed on and is no longer with us. She had been very busy in the last several months and had been unable to keep up with everything that she wanted to do and it finally caught up to her. She left us on Thanksgiving night, 2009. I just barely found out myself. She was a private person although her love for the Whateley universe allowed her to interact with others about it.

How to use the title box

Please Please Please Read This!

I have to mention this every once in a while, like about eight times this week already:

Please

Don't use number words or Roman numerals in the title box of chapters because that makes it very difficult to keep them in order.

Don't use plurals like "chapters" or "parts" unless you're going to always use plurals.

Don't use more than one space between words or numbers in titles.

Don't get tricky with the punctuation, like :-- or ......... or putting the title in quotes.

For the sake of my sanity, don't change the title of the story half way through!

Do put the story title and author name inside the story box, too, BTW.
