Need help finding.....

Submitted by on

A story I have read. It's a TG story. The assigned birth is a boy. Now the boy has been friends with a girl for a long time. But they drifted a part. His mom, his friend, his friends mom and he went on many vacations together as kids. I know they were at the beach, maybe the Grand Canyon. On the vacations, he dressed as a girl because he wanted to not because of his mom. He also had a girls name. His dad was no longer around. He stopped dressing like a girl because people kept telling his mom he shouldn't and maybe his father too. Not sure the last part.

You Look Just Like A Girl Again

Submitted by on

If you're familiar with the jazz singer Ute Lemper, you might have heard her interpretation of the Danny O'Keefe song, "You Look Just Like A Girl Again." Although written about a cis woman from the viewpoint of an admirer, to those of us of a certain age who may have missed out on that stage of our lives, it elicits an emotional frisson. Because in the mirror we hold within us, we can see the girl we might have been...again.

Identity

Submitted by on

Much as I've tried to keep a separate existence from myself (confusing enough), Lynda now has a Twitter account and a YouTube logon.

Unfortunately, twitter insisted I tie it to a physical phone number, which can trace back...

In the old days of the internet, it was much easier to juggle identities. Having two email addresses was child's play...

Possible Story Plotting Aid

Submitted by on

I stumbled across a website advertised on a youtube channel, so take it with a grain of salt, called World Anvil that may be a useful world building tool supposedly good for plotting rpg fantasy/sci-fi and in my opinion possibly other types of stories.

Disclaimer: I have not used this and I am not sure how the site monetizes the use of anything you create on the site, maybe there are non-web type software similar to this for story development but it seemed interesting that such tools are available.

The web site is www.worldanvil.com

Just be Yourself

Submitted by on

My posts seem to annoy some people. I'm responsible for my actions. No one else is to blame. I am responsible for my own security. Add I'm ultra conservative and transgendered and it really upsets others. If you're one of those, please don't comment. Read Rule ONE! In response to some caustic remarks I basically posted my life resume of all my talents and accomplishments, licenses, and degrees I earned. Every bit of it true no matter how unbelievable it may be to others. If anyone has any derogatory comments take it offline or meet me in person.

Additional proofing

Submitted by on

I ran the printer version of "The Answer" through text-to-speech on my iPhone. That pointed out some misphrasings and typos to my ear, for all the strange pronunciations it resulted in.

The typos, at least, I'll fix shortly. And I'll think I'll employ text-to-speech as a late proofing stage on stories from now on, to cut down on errors.

Reversed wedding

Submitted by on

A few days ago as I was looking around Youtube I ran into a video that would be of interest to some folks here.
It showed a couple planning to renew their wedding vows on their fifth anniversary. The difference being they were going to do with reversed roles this time. They hired a professional company to do the transformations and record the event.
See what you think.

Time for another "Boy protests school uni by wearing skirt" story.

Submitted by on

I suppose it is one of those normal parts of the British school year running late into June - boys get told they cannot wear shorts, start sweltering in the heat, and one or more get the idea to wear a skirt instead. Don't recall seeing any last year (probably thanks to COVID), but the boys (and schools) are right back at what almost feels like an annual game of chicken. BBC Link is below.

Help on looking for a Story

Submitted by on

I thought it was a Bob Arnold story from Zapped, but apparently not. MC is a Ham Radio operator, who is involved with a group that tracks weather phenomenon. S/He goes to an older drive-in theater just prior to a major storm where the storm wreaks havoc on the theater with several pieces of the large screen are torn loose.
That's about all I can remember of the story. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Heels: What they don't tell you

Submitted by on

Ok, it should be common enough knowledge that elevated heels on footwear may hurt one's feet, make one walk funny, add noises to the progress, and of course add to bodily height.
What should be added to the cautionary list is banging your head on stuff, jamming knees under steering wheels and tables and suddenly being unable to reach items on the floor and low shelves. Thank you so much Rocket Dog.

Possible theme song for Easy As Falling Off A Bike

Submitted by on

This will be of interest to the readers of Bike but hopefully Angharad will especially appreciate it.

Between my brief bouts of depression, I listen to as much music as I can access on the interwebs. Old favorites, new artists, new genres. Anything that touches me emotionally, intellectually, spiritually. And it was on one of my recent excursions on youtube that I came across a delightful little ditty entitled "Lullaby For A Sleepy Dormouse."

So much love

Kirstyn,

I just wanted to say that even though I don't always show it, I 100% support you. You are brave, and so pretty. I love you just the way you are. I heard this song a few minutes ago, and thought of you right away.

If you ever doubt my support, baldspot me.

Love you so much.

xoxo,

Looking for another Story

Submitted by on

The story is set (if I remember correctly) in the time of the Vikings or just before, and located in the area the Vikings hail from. I am unable to remember the Author or if the story was a solo or the plot is a segment of a part work.

While it begins with the main character seemingly being the youngest child of a high ranking member of a fishing Village, the men folk also loot other settlements, via the water courses.

The MC disappeared in a bad storm, can't remember if they were on the sea or on a headland and was washed out to sea.

Names for Characters

Submitted by on

Because I'm not a writer, usually the story and names are given to me. My only task is to transpose it to paper and ink. At times the names become so redundant instead of inspiring I seek to add my own flavor to the story which doesn't seem to antagonize those, whoever they are where the tales come from. Doing name searches on the net when a foreign name is needed helps. If it's a U.S. name I make a pass through the cemeteries taking note of the names and dates on headstones. It's unique as the names change from the older parts to the latest additions.
