It's nice over there and they don't bite!

That should get your attention.

I'm sure many of you have discovered TV Tropes, but as I've wandered through this site, reading thousands of pages worth of prose and comments, I've found a few additional themes / tropes / stereotypes / clichés, which may or may not occur elsewhere or in different media...

I absolutely love the ability to edit my stories as easily as we can on BC.

I wonder if all writers are aware they can edit their stories once they're posted.

Most of my stories have been edited dozens of times after I've posted them. I learn something new about writing almost every day and try to keep my stories updated to reflect what I now know.

The last few days I've been editing "Danny's Perdition" and just finished. It's a story set in the 23rd century, but is based on a poem written in the 14th century. Some have told me it's a Divine Comedy.

I created the Terry Awards to celebrate past stories. Older stories are too easily forgotten once they move on to the archives (back pages) and I think that's a terrible fate.

This batch of awards is for serials and solos only. Terry Awards for complete stories that have been posted in multiple parts will be included later in the year.

I just finished working on the Terry Awards. Yay!

I've spent many, many hours on this but I'm a little disappointed that I didn't have time to go through all of the stories. I'll be covering stories that have been posted in multiple parts later in the year -- when I have more time.

As I was sorting through vote totals, I was surprised to see how high they were. For the best real world serials, every one of the six entries had over 100 votes! 2009 has been a good year, not only for quantity but for getting the vote out.

I watched an interesting program on BBC America last night. Called 'Transvestite Wives'.

It was a look at how the partners (not all were married) of men who dress as woman cope, and participate with their partners lifestyle. It was sensitively produced, and showed the men in both male and female persona.

Interesting article in today's Guardian. Thought I'd post a link before Angharad gets her PC booted ;)

Obama urges Congress to extend benefits to same-sex partners; `my hope is we can get it done'
01-28-2010 11:51 AM PST
TAMPA, Fla. (Associated Press) --
President Barack Obama is calling on Congress to pass a law extending benefits to same-sex partners, a day after he renewed his support for repealing the ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military.

…or a nightgown. A Tesco branch in Wales won't allow any customers to shop if they are wearing night attire–or barefoot or wearing bedroom slippers.

Have any BC/TS-ers ever been tempted to shop in pyjamas?
