Masculine/feminine writing style

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Several years ago, there was a "thing" going round about our writing voices. There was even a test to take and I rated quite feminine in my speech patterns, and actually still have the list of feminine words, pasted on the side of my monitor, that women "supposedly" use. The whole shtik is that women's speech patterns are more tentative and colaborative.

I wonder if any of that makes sense now?

I am back BC fans,

I'm sorry for the late add. My PC developed a bug. I was told first it was a hardware issue. Then a software issue. They said it worked fine for 24 hours without self shutting off. They used MS Security Essentials free download. They said they download it onto my PC. They didn't. So, I download it myself. I hope it works. I also bought a new UPS device. That should smooth the spikes from our frequent lightning storms here in Florida.

Back to the story.

AquaGirl: Treasure Hunt

Author: 

First up, I've started writing AquaGirl 2: Chicago Water Torture
(Well, I couldn't resist another corny aquatic title - and what Rena's about to go through would be torture... for anyone else!)

Secondly, as you read through AquaGirl 1: Born in a Watery Grave, you may have noticed the occasional reference to a Sci-Fi show.

Those references were quite deliberate.

Unless I added any others before compiling the list of references, you should find 18 different references, either hidden in plain sight, alluded to, or otherwise concealed.

Hello.

For all the followers of EAFOAB, I just thought you would like to know that one council is taking the dormouse situation seriously, no matter what the cost

Here’s the link:

Whilst I am glad it’s not on my council bill, I do hope the first dormouse to use it has undergone a council Health and Safety check.

Well, I'm going on a story that Lilith and I were co-writing. But she can't think of anything to do to it, so I'm finishing the story. It's coming, Batgirl/Catwoman retcon. But it going to take me a bit to finish it up. It's at 20 pages and growing now.

Don't despair, things will come.

Don't know if I'm going to be finishing the other series though. I have to just to wrap them up, but other than just tying up the hanging threads, I don't think I'll do much more. My Ninja Muse just isn't talking to me much anymore.

Suggestions for dissemination of new 360,000 tg novel

I've just finished a 360,000-page tg novel. It should be available soon via an Amazon subsidiary. How and where should I publicize it? Would it be appropriate to put excerpts here in BigCloset? Below I've pasted a part of the back-cover blurb--it gives a pretty good idea of the plot.

Napoleon said that women are only baby machines.

George disagrees: They are also very good machines for cooking and cleaning.

Would he still hold that opinion if he found himself renamed “Pansy-Ann” and filling out a dress?

The Snow White that wasn't


Did I see the dress as a threat to my legacy, an insult to generations of men who fought wars and presided over propane grills? No, I honestly don't believe that a 4-year-old's Halloween costume has the power to cement his sexual identity for life. I was not threatened by fears of a same-sex, vegan wedding ceremony or a rejection of power tools and the Super Bowl. A far more immediate evil loomed in my magic mirror: children who mock other children.

that opinion. It was written in serious good faith and deep earnestness, by an honest

How often are your characters influenced by other media, either in direct inspiration or as a base template to extrapolate and 'grow' from?

For example in Becoming Robin Nicole is loosely based on an original character of mine from several years ago. The key differences are age and upbringing, and of course Raven Wing is based on Nicole.

the girl in my dreams

Author: 

I had a dream a couple of days ago that, to me, shows how far my integration of my female side has become. The details of the dream are not important, but one thing stood out - I was female. Now, mostly before I couldnt see myself in my dreams - I couldnt have told you if i was male or female, or what I was wearing. So the fact that I knew i was female, in public, and nobody seemed to notice that being different says something to me.

Superheroes: A Warning

Interesting podcast from The Guardian

The portion on Superheroes starts at 27:20

Her thesis is that the film versions of superhero characters are typically hypermasculinised in comparison to the stories portrayed in the comics the characters are drawn from, and reduces the acceptable story arcs to a handful of "movie versions."

questions for the ret-con universe

Just some questions for the writers in the ret-con universe: What impact on society and pop culture would you think the appearance of super-heroes and villains have? Would regular people be afraid of them, like in the X-men comics, or would they become celebrities, with fan clubs and paparazzi and reality shows? what effect would it have on fictional movies, shows, and comics? What would other countries think about the U.S. deliberately creating a super hero in American Dream? Would that set off an "arms race" as what happened with the A-bomb?
