Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year.

To all of you nice people on this site, Erin, administrators, authors, readers, bloggers, commentors and visitors, may you have a great year.

Oh, yes, it's Valentine's Day too. I hope you get lucky,

Joanne

Since I know several members of this community are keen cyclists, seeing this on a friend's Facebook page piqued my interest:

Downward spiral, upward cycle. How cycling can help manage depression,

This is the best weekend for Chinese government employees in New Orleans to fall in love.

Well, I've finally finished re-reading all of Venus Cursed! and the side stories so that I could get back into it. I have some new ideas on how to proceed, and will be starting with yet another side story. This one will actually begin around chapter 23 or so of the main story. Once it catches up with the main story line I'll continue it, and the other side stories. As usual, I'll have links at the bottom of each chapter to the appropriate chapter in the main story, and will add links to those chapters of Venus Cursed!, as well.

For all of you that are Dr. Who fans, check out this link

The Return of Short Trips

Big Finish Audio is looking for submissions of short stories, under 2500 words to include on new audio books, to be read by professional actor/actresses.

These stories have to feature Dr's 1 - 8.

I know this isn't TG but I know that some of our author's are Dr. Who fans, and might just enjoy the chance to have something published.

Good luck to you all!

Hugs,

Kristy

Just a few words about the story Hope and I are working on for all you inquiring minds out there. First, I looked and unlike the Bikini Beach stories found nothing about MAU being closed. If I missed something there I profusely apologize to both Elrod and everyone else.

We are sticking with the canon, in that the machines work for about four days before shutting down. The grad students have just been having way too much fun experimenting in a few days time, which Hope and I will address in the next few chapters as the story unfolds.

So, I have been wanting two monitors run off the same computer for a while, and yesterday went to Best Buy to see if they had a vid card that would do that. Well, according to them, I already have one in my computer.

They sold me a HDMI cable, and the old style cable is hooked to one monitor and the HDMI is hooked to the other one. When I was booting, both monitors did display some text but now that it is fully up and running, I only get stuff on one monitor; the one that uses the old style cable.

Although it may not seem like it at first blush, an interview with a famous cartoonist, I found a lot in this that I consider relevant, somehow:

An Interview With Gahan Wilson.

Just go over and look at Stardust...wow!

Im very interested in reading some Portia Bennet stories it seems some of them, are connected.id like to know if they are and in what order.I got a little ocd and it dictates how and what i read sometimes

Kelly's Journey Book 2By Stanman63 Synopsis:Kelly's Journey-Book 2 is the continuation of Kelly's Journey. After posting other shorter stories, and answering challenges, entering contests, my muse has urged me to continue her story. In her story, I hope to visit other stories and with that author's permission, give updates on their older stories. Now, since this is set in the present, that does limit the stories that she can interact with, any volunteers?

There are some things I have to say because I see people drawing conclusions on stories that are not completed. The first part of a story sets up the characters and the plot, and the second part sets up how the characters interact with each other, and the third part just goes with the plot full force. But to draw a conclusion in a comment before the story is finished is like a newspaper reporter making up his/her own story because he can't get an interview; like in Football Girl. But there are reporters in real life who actually do do that.

Why not pop across and have a look!

Here is an interesting link about children who identify as the oposite sex before puberty. Hopefully, this will be the next big step in care for us. Many Docs agree that if a child is identified that early, they can develop a much more feminine frame and portrayal.

I am continually amazed t the quality AND quantity of the many stories and authors here at the Closet. Me, I've become an author, editor, and member, helping to make things better. Now, I admit that do have a list of favorite authors, but doesn't everybody? If i have any complaint, it is this: some authors at other sites don't post here.
