I found this article/blog on WOOT earlier about CHILDREN and GENDER EXPRESSION. The resulting forum thread is surprisingly intelligent, well discussed, and seems completely non bigoted.

http://kids.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=5005091 will get you to the forum thread that I was speaking of.

Both the article and the responses are quite interesting food for thought, and there seems to be no biased involved!

Everyone's button count has been removed. We aren't ready to release the new "product" yet and we said this could and would happen. In fact I want to let everyone know that it WILL happen again, when the system goes live, in order for everyone to start on an even footing.

Hi Everybody,
     I know i posted this before, but it's been a few months, and I felt it time to re-post this note.

Some of you may know, but other's probably don't, that I've been making book covers for not only my own, but other people's stories.

I make these using Stock Art purchased or found freely (royalty free archives) off the internet.

What Lies Beyond Twilight was done a while back, and is a little cluttered, but has nice pop/visual and I decided it needed showing.

This is a refrence blog of things that people have mentioned to us as being broken or different.

Item's that have been "fixed" or we have decided to not fix, are marked with a strike through.

Hi Everyone!

For all you GuildWars players, Today (October 15th) from 12pm CDT to 6pm CDT is "Pink Day in LA!"

Pink Day in LA is an annual event that happens in GuildWars and is Sponsored by GuildWars Entertainment Network (GW-EN) and Gamers Giving Back.

The goal this year is to raise over $13,000.00 for The Canadian Cancer Society, and if you donate $10 or more, you'll get an entry into the super-awesome raffle that has a ton of great prizes that you can check out soon!

Hi Everybody,
     now that most the work with transferring servers seems to be finished, I thought I could take some time to post this note.

Some of you may know, but other's probably don't, that I've been making book covers for not only my own, but other people's stories.

I make these using Stock Art purchased or found freely (royalty free archives) off the internet.

Here are some examples of my work:

For those of you that don't know, Let me start off by stating that I am part of the "AgePlay" or "Littles" or to segregate even more, "LG" and even "AB" communities. For those that don't know, LG stands for Little Girl, or is sometimes known as ALG = Adult Little Girl. AB on the other hand, stands for "Adult Baby".

Within the Age-play/Littles/LG community there are many segregations like LG, for those that feel older than Toddler aged, and generally don't have a need for "padding".

Sorry for the delay, but this is an official note. TGLibrary is back online, and completely stable and will continue to stay that way :)

Just for those that are interested, Bill has been home with me for the last month and a half, close to two months.

I've been providing 24/7 care by myself, shuffling him to doctors, and dialysis and hospital as needed.

Hi Everyone, quick note... Zoe Taylor's alive and OK ishk. She's stressed and coping with it, and hopes to get back into the swing of things soon, but isn't sure when that will be.

Hey Everyone! I recived an email from Crystal today!

Hi everyone...

So recently, I posted chapter 2 of my story "Aurora"... It was subtitled "Trick or Treat?"... It's possible that you didn't see it, as I've only managed 2 comments on it... Then again it has gotten over 1600 reads/views at last check.

Now admittedly it was a long wait between parts one and two, and it's possible that you read the lastest chapter at TGFiction.Net or LG Tales instead of here, but I have gotten NO NEW comments at either of those sites either.

Hi Everybody! (*waits for everyone to reply, "Hi Dr. Nick"....*)

This is just a little note...

I recently wrote a software module/addon for eFiction (the software that runs TGFiction.Net) called ePubVersion that allows a user/visitor to download on-the-fly created .ePub eBooks of your favorite stories.

Well, I'm close to 3000 words into my new story. That's between 2 chapters unfortuantely.

I'm 2 scenes away from closing out Chapter One, and have a good start on Chapter two. The 2 scenes I need for Chapter One are probably 2 of the more important ones for that chapter. The ending scene is already written but those two scenes just don't want to come out, even tho I seem to know in my head what will happen.

Well something certainly seems to have broke free at some point.

I took a story idea, made a few changes, and have written about 800 words tonight.

It's not a lot, and I don't know how far till it's gonna be ready, but this probably won't be a short story, although it might have short chapters.

I've been struggling these last few days.

I've been doing quite a bit of reading, and got in my head that I wanted to work on my writing.

So I got out my laptop, and I installed word, and I downloaded the several most promising "works in progress" that fit the mood of what I was wanting to write, and nothing.

I seem to be stuck in a rut for several years now. I have MANY MANY great story ideas, and can usually come up with half of a first post for a serial, but that seems to be about it.

I thought about posting this as a blog here, but instead decided to post it to my blog and share the link...

Basic subject is that it's nearing the 2 year anniversary of Kim's passing...

That time of the year (for me) @ Piper's GeekBrat Blog....

As someone posted the UK April1 Gag earlier, about Google Translate for Animals.... I thought I'd post the US April1 gag....

Well, June 11th, 2009 will mark the 1 year date since Kim's death.

I'm posting this notice here, since it may be of interest to a few...

Here is another update from the TG_Fiction Yahoo groups as posted to StorySite's CyberBoard by Scarlett Raven.....

Hi Everyone!

StorySite, GabyZone, ReluctantPress, and TGFiction.Net are down, and will be down for the next several hours. I am re-loading the OS, and upgrading a few things.

So I am planning to post a few chapters of a story that there is a REALLY good chance will never be finished.

Just an FYI for everyone.

Just a general FYI, the GabyZone.Com domain is currently down due to DNS issues that are beyond my control (I host the website, but not DNS for the domain). They GabyZone Chatroom is still available via standard IRC access, and from the web through http://www.cyberbrats.net .

-P

P.S. I will post an update if/when DNS is working again.

Google just released the BETA of their new web browser - Google Chrome! I've had it installed for a total of about 5 mins so far, but it seems to be blazingly fast.

Hi everyone.

This is jut a notice to let everyone know that the obituary including services times has been posted on my blog.

Just follow the links below.
