To all our Canadian authors, readers and friends, Happy Holiday.

Last night I watched an enlightening documentary on homophobic, college coaches.

Yes, the villain in this film is a woman.

Rene Portland, a women’s basketball coach at Penn State for twenty-seven years, openly had a “no lesbians allowed” rule. She not only consistently ran off girls on her team who came out, she also did what she could to make sure they didn’t play for other programs.

The Daily Mail, also known as the Hate Mail or Wail, is often referred to disparagingly by UK members of this site. For very good reasons, as the link will show. Even for the Mail, they plumbed new depths of opportunistic nastiness with this one. For those of you outside the UK, this is why it is so badly thought of.

Comments on the site were disabled for some time due to the vitriol that was poured out by readers.

We just haven't gotten around to editing the next part. Also both of us are kind of burned out, so likely we might take a week off.

Konichiwa. Friends here in America likes to call me Moe. Watashi wa anata ni aete ureshidesu.

The next part of the story is finely done and I have sent it off to be edited, so it should be posted within the next couple of days.

Well, I've had a bit of a setback. I phoned the gender specialist's office, and found out that I don't yet have an appointment to get my blood tested to start female hormones. Apparently, there is some question as to whether just going to work as Dorothy qualifies as a real life test or not. (Why this matters, I don't know, but there you are.) So now I have to wait and hear back from the specialist, or maybe I'll be waiting until I see him again in December to find out if I can start them anyway. ... Sigh.

Check Brandy's private site out. She posted a NEW STORY Spell of the Sorcress Wed. eve.

Hi everyone

I'd like to thank everyone who has supported my writing over the years and an extra big thank you to everyone who has purchased books, especially the resounding enthusiasm for Book 8.

I'm away for a while soon but rest assured that i will be writing Book 9 on my return, i hope to have it ready for the Gabycon in September - or at least well on its way.

Now that the story is posted, I left the ending open so it might be continued. If any of the author's here at the BC would like to pick it up and continue I would gladly give them my permission to do so.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be out of pocket for awhile. I don't know how long exactly. I'm going with my parents to see the Grand Canyon, and since we're going to drive it, it's going to end one of three ways.

One of the stories here got me curious about the "Star Wars" series, for purely technical reasons. :) So, I began to watch the entire series again from I-VI. In Epi IV, Han Solo mentioned that his ship would do 1.5 light speed. Hmmmm that is just plodding along and is really not much good for space travel. In Lili's present story, she mentioned that the drive she is peddling is capable of 100,000 times light speed; something just barely useful considering the scale of the Universe, or even our own Galaxy.

I've ben bra shopping. I need a 44 A, I think, and I'm not finding it in the local stores. Somone recently posted some good mail order places for unusual sizes. I could really use that information again!

TIA

Is it a good thing to discover that you're NOT the trailblazer you thought you were? (Preparing to transition in the workplace.)

The problem with an ongoing story is you can only write so much at a time, and eventually get to an ending I know at the moment there are questions concerning the adoption. Just to help with the story line in Canada a child that is 16 years old or older has these rights and more.

Age 16+

You can:

- withdraw from your parent’s control (i.e. leave home) but you may lose your right to financial support [Child and Family Services Act, Children’s Law Reform Act, & Family Law Act]

Well, If I needed any proof that my daughter isnt ready for me to be out with her as Dorothy, yesterday provided it. I had woken up at 330 pm in a panic, thinking I had forgotten to pick her up from school. I hurriedly put on a t-shirt and shorts and ran out to the school, only to find her gone, picked up by my mother, who had told me she would before I went to sleep, only I had forgotten. So I went home, and they came home right after, and my daughter took one look at me and freaked out. I hadn't realized it, but I had grabbed a ladies t shirt I use as a camisole by mistake.

Thanks to everyone who has been patient with me while I figured out how to put my story in the retcon index. It's repeated in some places now but hopefully that will be sorted out.

Special thank go to Enemyoffun, Maggie Finson, those who gave ideas in the forum.
But most of all I thank Lilith Langtree for her patience and for not getting angry that I messed up her page.

I wanted to thank everyone who commented on "White Skates". Its an idea I had a while back, and then forgot until Sunday morning when I got home from work, while I was having a quick bath before going to bed. You know, I should invest in waterproof pen and paper, I get some of my best ideas when I'm in a bath...
