I have tried to write many stories. Some are so terrible, that even after I've written a few pages, I don't even want to save it. I'm a programmer by trade, and I believe my "creative brain" is sometimes completely locked away entirely and my writing reads more like a list of facts. But, some read OK. It's kind of funny, because some times, when I read over something I wrote years earlier, I'm impressed and even wonder if I really could have written it.

Hi all!

Busy, busy, busy these days! I'm just preparing to move into my new house for the next year so I have been taking care of all that jazz but do not fret as I am still in the process of writing the next three episodes of Crossdressing Charlie.

Relating to that, I have a bit of an announcement to make. Episodes 13, 14 and 15 will be the penultimate episodes of the first series, collectively titled as Volume One. Think of it as a kind of season finale to a TV show after a few months run.

First the updates... the writing on K&K 6 has stalled because of pain. I got a page written today before my shoulder and wrist attacked with a fiery vengeance. So... I am not really getting a lot of progress there. But it is moving.

For all those who saw the announcement without opening it. The first chapter of Whispers in the Soul is available in the last blog entry.

Well, 24,036,165 24,036,376 since 16th June 2005, according to the counter at the bottom of the page...

It doesn't seem very long ago that someone was blogging about 22m... or was that 23,456,789?

OK, I am doing this out in the open, (1) so I don't have to bug Erin, (2) thinking maybe someone has already had this problem, knowing full well that I am not the sharpest tool in the shed.

So, I went to Lulu and bought Tiffany Shar's, "Bears Know Best" but am stupidly struggling with this stifling download process. I have the Kindle PC program, but don't know what is compatible with what.

I have a PC with Win 7 and when I try to download Apple's reader, it won't go. It says there is an error.

I download stuff all the time from Amazon because they make it easy for dummies.

Just to announce that I have just published a collection of humorous verse and poetry, in my usual genres.

Find it on US Amazon here: Dragons & Stuff!
On UK Amazon here: Dragons& Stuff

AND.......................

Yes, I have finally FINISHED a NEW book!

I sent it off to my editor a few days ago, so, as soon as it returns, I shall be publishing the sequel to Whispers in the Mind, entitled Whispers in the Soul.

If you hadn't noticed, I started posting a new story, but I am having some issues.

Here is my problem. I think the story really should be a stand alone story. I think it would work better that way. The problem is that length has gotten the best of me and I haven't even finished writing the whole thing yet. I think in the end it will be under 30k words, but feel as if that may be too much for one post (I think post should be kept under 10k and usually strive for 5k). Maybe its because I view Big Closet more like a magazine than a library though.

Um so this girl freely admits that she is not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to computers. So, this girl's computer is being funny. When posting on some sites, it looks like the ribbon on her typer thingy is running out of ink. Well, this girl does not believe there is such a ribbon in her computer, at least she has never found one. Where would they put such a thing?

Well, 4 chapters out for Transitioning Home and I think you can all get an idea just how hurt poor Thomas is. It sucks being that screwed up both physically and mentally. You gotta feel for the poor boy. Man am I mean to my characters sometimes and this story just got started. You all got like 32 chapters to go. Heh...

And I finally was out of pain and other stuff long enough to get chapter 5 of Kit and Kin done. I am very happy about this because now the fun stuff can really get started. Poor Takeshi, his whole world shaken and not stirred. :(

This kind of fell between the cracks and didn't get announced but there were five winners in the April Fools and Other Wise Contest. Check here to see if you were one of the top four winners and then PM or email me to tell me what you want done with your $35 prize. Since there was only ONE vote between fourth and fifth place, we decided to go ahead and give five prizes.

Most of you don't know me except for a few blog comments and sorry to say even fewer story comments.

Erin's appeal for donations got me to thinking. The first paragraph (in part) "…annual server contract for four of the BC/SD/TGF servers is coming due. These servers run BC, Stardust, TGFiction.Net, CrystalHall, qnez, TGLibrary, StorySite and a dozen other TG and TG friendly websites…." got my attention.

I apologise for my inadvertent posting of the wrong chapter of The Jekyll Legacy, and can only plead extreme fatigue, as I've been out rearranging the garage all day. I managed to toss my brain into the dustbin and have only just ran out and collected it before they hauled it away.

I want to work on more, but I shall be house and dog sitting. An old home, so guess what fool is taking his scariest video games and movies with him. See how much fun I can have tonight. The next part is only partly done, but I'm not sure if I shall take my computer or my XBox, may just take the Xbox so I don't injure my computer in the travel.

I shall attempt to make the next chapter as quickly as I can

I notice that lots of authors on BCTS are also on Facebook and some have friended me. I noticed some funny stuff going on about a month ago and then they said that they wanted each user to use their real name. Then I noticed that I was getting things in my email that were hostile, so I closed both my FB accounts down. I do not plan to return to them, and may open new email accounts if it gets worse.

Has anyone else here been following Operation Rescue - The New Co-Ed by Elrod W on the Fictionmania site? It is a fascinating and well written story. The first chapter was posted two years ago. Chapter twenty was posted today; and the story is not yet complete. I find myself going to the fictionmania site just to check for up dates to this one story.

Sometime in the last three days, BCTS passed a milestone; there are now more than 20,000 stories, chapters and episodes of TG fiction in our archive!

Congratulations to everyone!

Hugs to all,
Erin

from my holiday so you can now resume reading new Gaby - chapter 31 of book 8 is posted today!

Also, if you are lucky you can see a few pics here http://www.maddybell.com/holiday2012.htm

Just to keep all who are interested informed, Dustin and I are still working on A Tale of Two Sirens. He and I both had real life get in the way for about a week and after it was all taken care of, we decided to avoid being in this situation again by not posting any more chapters of the story until all is said and done on the writing side of it.

So fear not, the story is very much alive and well. Things are acutally looking to get very interesting in the near future for Ashley and Danielle, so please stay tuned. ^_^

You may laugh at this, but normally my birthday is just the day, maybe go out to eat and that's that. Well I wanted to go to the game store in the mall and see if there was any cool video games out there that I wanted. Didn't see any, so I went to the music/movie store and hit pay dirt. I found the movies Surf Ninjas, Ferris Bueller' day off, Dudley Doright and E.T. and just had to get them. I haven't seen E.T. on dvd in a few years now and I've wanted to watch it really bad. I haven't seen Surf Ninjas for about 10 years and I loved it then, and then there was Ferris Bueller's.

I tried my hand at a little erotica and transformation story, but I don't think my writing ability in that area was able to pull it off. I like the concept of Orgasmicur and was wondering if someone would like to attempt fixing it. I never saw a person transform while masturbating in a story, but it intrigues me.

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.

I'd like to say sorry to some of my readers that read about me giving up on my writing and that 'You Have it all Wrong' would not be finished.

Hi everyone,
I'm writing a new story and plan to write/need to write a nonsexual post-transformation shower scene. My muse is negleting me a bit - I think Karl is angry because it's nonsexual - so I'm looking for inspiration. I'd be really greatful if you could recommend stories that contain well written shower scenes.

thank you,
Beyogi
