Hey,

Just wanted to let everyone know the next episode of Becoming Robin is almost ready for primetime. I need to put the finishing touches on the final scenes (the big reveal/party) before the story moves ahead, but it just doesn't feel right.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

I just can't say that enough!!! I'm stunned, shocked, and amazed by the response to my first story here.

To all that took a chance and read a post by a 'newbie', to those who posted comments, and especially to the ones that sent all of the wonderful PMs, I can't possibly Thank You Enough!

I know that the story is incomplete (so far), and that fact alone can dissuade some from venturing further. With the amount of support, compassion, and understanding that I've recieved I'm more confident than ever that I'll be able to share the rest with all of you.

Musetta's Waltz Update

It's been more than two years since Musetta came to life. Dr. O'Donnell asks her if she has Klinefelter's Syndrome. She didn't know what it was and in the story as originally written it turns out she didn't. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that her having Klinefelters made a lot of sense. It explained her natural appearance and some of her personality. I made some corrections in Chapters 11 and 12 to now reflect that she had this condition. It does nothing to change the story other than to make it a bit more realistic.

Hugs,

Portia

Feels Strange   The cooler we’ve just hauled out to the car signals the end of our preparations–everything is packed in the car and ready to go. I can hardly wait until morning when, finally, we will be on our way. I realize that I’m looking forward to heading to the mountains with almost as much anticipation as I would if I were still Chris. The thought of hiking to the top of the mountain overlooking the lake really appeals to me as does spending some time in the canoe with a fishing pole. It’s been a long time since I’ve done either.

Of course, doing it with Andy really adds to the appeal.

On the flip side, hanging out while waiting for Rana & Co. to drop the other shoe will be nerve-wracking.

Maybe he won’t get the message.

One can always hope.

Catholic charity's appeal over gay adoption fails

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

A Roman Catholic adoption charity's appeal to be allowed to discriminate against gay people wanting it to place children with them has been rejected. Catholic Care wanted exemption from new anti-discrimination laws so it could limit services provided to homosexual couples on religious grounds.

The Charity Commission said gay people were suitable parents and religious views did not justify discrimination. The Leeds-based charity said it was "very disappointed".

Story Idea: "I Was A Craigslist Trophy Wife"

Forums: 

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

The title sums it up pretty well.

"Late 20s MtF who can't afford to transition
seeking wealthy man willing to pay my way
in exchange for becoming their ideal trophy
wife. Contract/prenup to be discussed."

Something like that. I could never write something like that, but the idea itself seemed plausible enough (in a totally messed up "why would somebody do that" kind of way) that I wanted to see if someone else thought they could pull it off.

A Superhero Challange

Others have commented about the recent trend of transgenderizing comic heroes, but one very obvious candidate has been overlooked. I just introduced my five year old grandson to the Amazing Captain Underpants. The Captain was received with vociferous giggles and typical five year old scatological references.

However,the Captain's tighty-whities struck a wrong note in my crossdressing soul. Anybody want to take up the challenge of a female version of Captain Underpants? With panties and a training bra the female Captain would have twice the Wedgie Power of the male version!

I posted Chapter 13. We have the introduction of Eingana, the Mother of all Sea Dragons. We'll see her again later in Book 1 and in Book 2.

I also updated the Character List as well. This includes Eingana and some other sea dragon names that we will see later. I also included the SRU Wizard as well.

I tried to bring some emotion into this chapter when the people see the ship wreckage and the skeletons of the sea dragons seen near the island for the first time.

Jamie Finds Acceptance

Jamie Finds Acceptance

By Patricia Marie Allen

I remember when it started. It was a Saturday in the September of my eighth year. My sister had a nine o'clock dentist appointment and my brother was spending the weekend with friends. I should have been able to sleep in, but Dad got a call from work. He worked in the maintenance department and something had gone wrong with the compressor and it had to be fixed before Monday at six a.m. He woke me at eight and told me that he had to leave and it would be up to me to get the Goodwill bags out on the porch for the Boy Scouts by nine.

I Write Like...

Edeyn Okay, so I spend a lot of time on FaceBook, and many of my friends and relatives post memes {pronounced 'meem'} -- the little tests that tell you what character from movie X you are like, or what kind of bean you're like, or how many roads you must travel {42}, etc. I normally don't even give them thought, but a good friend of mine who is pretty much the embodiment of youthful exuberance even though she's approaching 30 posted a fantastically interesting one that I had to try.

Tight Money insperation.

I had to write a bit about where the father character came from in "Tight Money"

Actually, I see my own father in that role. Not that I ever had an experience with another cross-dresser at a young age, but his attitude was right there, without the experiences of Rikki's dad.

A federal appeals court has put same-sex weddings in California on hold while it considers whether the state's gay marriage ban is constitutional.

A three-judge panel in the US Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a lower court's ruling that would have allowed gay marriages to begin on Wednesday.

Bike - my falling off one - update.

For those of you who enjoy my scribbles, it might please you to know that our practice nurse thinks I'll live a bit longer, after she checked my leg. It still bloody hurts, especially when standing up from sitting or sitting from standing. Which means I'm on sick leave for the next day or two. Dunno which is worse the boredom from inaction, or the pain when I try to move.

Sitting at a computer probably doesn't help especially when I try to get up afterwards.

Zach loved the outdoors: the fresh air, the open spaces, the rugged mountains, the sheer diversity of nature. Maybe what he liked most was the fact that there wasn't any of those damn LGBT types out there. Heck, that was why he was out there now, them and their damn Pride parade! Still, storming through the woods and mountain trails helped work off some of the anger, though there was still a lot left. Maybe if he wasn't so angry, he would have paid more attention to where he was going that misty morning, would have been more sure of his footing. Unfortunately, such things are left as afterthoughts of such incidents and looked back on in hindsight.
