I wondering about the mechanics of wearing a long ankle length skirt during the winter? Besides thinking I'm just crazy as its 16 out today with a wind chill of-5. Any ideas or........

I have a story published on Stardust called The Chosen.

When I wrote it, I envisioned a time in the not too far distant future, when the world was facing a crisis.

The story is about a world where girls are no longer being born. The consequence of this was, eventually we as a species would die out.

Erin shut off the comments on Samantha Jay's blog and I don't want to discuss Forced Fem -- so I'll take the discussion on a different path.

When a person decides to write and post a story they create an implied contract with the reader. That much I think we can agree upon. It is at that point that we, the authors of BC, hold vastly different opinions.

First off, I am not critising authors or trying to upset them. It's just a question to see if I am the strange one or not.

Just to let you know that I have posted a new story called The Chosen on Stardust. I will be posting it here, if I get a positive response about a week later.

Any new chapters will be published the same way.

So if you have few minutes to spare, pop across and have a look!

If anyone knows how to make the story look nicer, especially on the Stardust front page, I would be grateful for any help. It's not as easy as BCTS!

I got a question for all you at big closet who have been keeping up with my story. Is it going in a good direction? This is the first time I've shared a story with anyone. So I want to know where I could improve, and what's capturing your attention. I really want my story to grow. and as selfish as it may seem, I want it to be popular. I want my writing to grow into it's own world.

I was reading a news article online, and thought there was a story idea in there

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/travel/news/article.cfm?c_id=7&obj...

My thoughts are about a hotel security manager watching patrons attending a conference, where one 'lady' attracts his interest. Not sure where it goes from there, but its a start...

I really laughed at the last paragraph or so, with the sex toys and a nuns habit...

Yesterday I was reading a story from the Random 5olos list and had to leave before I was finished. My brain has vapor locked and I cannot remember the story title nor the author. It was about a 13 year old withdrawn boy who goes to stay with his aunt in California and reveals to her that he is a girl inside. If anyone can help I would be thankful.

So, the story I was worried about posting has become my highest rated story along with the most comments with one post at 30 and another at 32. This is the most I have gotten for anything. Kind of crazy.

Also, as an FYI, there is one more dark chapter than the last two chapters end it. I have finished editing them but there might be some posting issues as I am going on an Epic Quest of Epicness with Edeyn this weekend. So... I may have to prep everything to make the uploading easier if I have someone else do it.

All of us have our calling. For a while, I thought my calling was to be a monk. That passed.

Currently I feel my calling is to express a qualified opinion regarding hits, votes, and comments at least once a month.

There appears to be a number of people who think the number of votes a story or part of a story receives has a correlation with the quality of the writing. In my experience this just isn't remotely so.

In order for the law of large numbers to come into play -- which makes statistics creditable - there obviously has to be LARGE numbers.
