Founding Fabulous Fun Fresh Feature -- Friday Featured Freelancer!

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Edeyn Okay, I asked earlier this week what kind of possible new feature you all would like to see added to the Shortcuts! box, and got very little response. But, I'm going to explain the one feature idea I do have the details for, and I'd like feedback on it -- if you'd rather tell me in a PM, do so.

The Friday Featured Freelancer

This will be run as a raffle of sorts. Any author on the site that wishes to may enter her or his name, and each week on Thursday night, the names will be dropped in a randomizer and the winner will have a feature page for the week, linked off of the Shortcuts! box.

There will be no favoritism, but only an author herself or himself may put in her or his name. The pool is emptied every week (meaning that you must re-enter every drawing, there is no carryover from week to week), and the only 3 limiting factors will be that

  • you must be an author with works on BCTS
  • if you are featured, you must wait a certain amount of time before you can enter again
  • you cannot be a member of the Admin staff

This is NOT in effect yet, as I want to know what you all think of the idea. Discuss, please. Hee!

A big, little change for me.

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Confused about the opening for this blog? Well, don't be concerned. The big, little change, has to do with getting a new drivers license...with my NEW pic on it! Yes, that's right. I'll no longer have to worry about being stopped by some over-zealous public servant, and having to explain, however patiently, why I don't look like the picture on my license.

I hadn't even thought it was something I COULD do, or would be allowed to do, but I checked and found that I could, indeed, have a new picture taken and placed on my license.

Daring to Hope - Part 6

Daring to Hope
 
Standing Up to Life: Book 2
 
Part 6 of 8
 
by Tiffany Shar

 
Synopsis

In many ways Tiffany is the newest girl in her small community near Albuquerque, New Mexico. In the whirlwind of the last few weeks she has emerged from the shell of a scared and confused little boy named Brandon. Ever since Tiffany's parents confirmed with her their suspicions of her deepest wants and needs, they've supported her completely. With solid support from her family, her best friend and family and surprisingly, her growing circle of other friends it seems she might have a chance for a successful future.

'Can all this last?' is one of the biggest questions on her mind now. 'Will everyone stick with me when things get tough?' She's had an amazingly easy last couple weeks and she knows it won't last. What will happen when she returns to school? And most importantly, what will her psychiatrist decide? Will her doctor force her to return to living the lie as Brandon? These fears and more whirl in her mind as she looks to an uncertain future.

Daring to Hope is the continuing story of a bright, talented, and beautiful girl, who dares to hope for a future that is one based on happy dreams.

No matter.

There will be postingness from me on Friday, 13 March 2009, and there will be NO changes to the latest chapter of Dear Diary, but there will be an explanation added.

Also scheduled to resume that day are at least two other pieces that people have been waiting for. There may be more, but I cannot say for certain.

It Was Fate

It Was Fate

by

Lilith Langtree

"Lachesis, measurer of the Threads of Fate, hear my plea."

It was only seven days ago when I made that request. I had been studying Wiccan magic for almost a year. Funny thing about spell-casting; spells are really simple. If you want to request something, you can burn a candle and make your request from the Goddess, or you can leave an offering, a flower, a coin, maybe a little wine, under a tree. The trick is not to make your request too specific.

who was that author?

Author: 

there was a story a few months ago, it was a part 2 (of 3) it was about a military guy that had gone back to uni studying engineering and back to crossdressing, she had some adventures with a rich girl and her family, there was a robot excavator that she provided tech help on.

if i recall the author left the site and removed her story, can anyone recall her name or the title?

i've finally got a few dollars to spare and was thinking of buying the parts 1 & 3, of course with a comp crash in the interim i lost the author and title.

...Just to put my work into context, I am retired, in that I have ceased one job, but am too young to stop working altogether. I need to work, but the financial climate is such that my line of work is suffering from corporate budget cuts and streamlining. I therefore have more time to write and am working on seventeen full length novels, several of which I shall post free here and on other sites. Some of them are sequels to works I have already posted.

I am apparently incapable of, "... ever producing an idea without stealing it from someone more talented than..." myself. I have received 37 emails and 1 PM here accusing me of such in the last 12 hours, in addition to a PM from a friend who pointed out similarity in one of my stories to hers. In addition to THAT, one of the other admin just informed me (between Previewing this blog and actually posting it) that I "needed" to change my story, because I'm stealing the driving theme behind the main character of a friend's story. So... I suck.

I'd like to know what kind of suggestions folks have. Now, I want folks to PM me full details of their ideas for something fun or useful (or both!) to add, and I'll give it a few days before I post up the suggestions... not for voting, but for discussion! Talk about the pros and cons of each idea. The reason I want them PM'd to me is so that the ideas are known only to me and the rest of the staff.

Hi
I'm Mary Beth Sanford

This is my first blog entry...

This picture, taken some number of years ago, was always my favorite. The photographer was from San Francisco, developing a pictorial study of transgendered people (never saw the end results - if any). It was at a monthly meeting in Walnut Creek (California) and I was then, a member of the "Lost Girls". The lost girls were a loosely organized group that often went out to "mainstream" places first (mostly dinner) then off to one of several alternate life style or meetings places around the Bay Area. Anyway, if I had to show a picture that I felt represented me - this is the one.

Did I tell you how much I love this place! I do!

Hugs
Mary Beth

I know that, for a lot of us, our appearance is something that we can be a bit touchy about. For some of us, it can be an issue of not passing well, or even at all. Regardless, I thought it might be interesting to see who here was brave enough to stand up and let their face be seen. There are a few of us who have been so daring as to use image sigs or images of ourselves in posts before. For me, this will probably be the only time you see me post an image anywhere on this site. I just thought that, since the age question is out and running, why not a pics thread?
