I want to thank the authors that have given me permission to do a P.O.V. on their stories and characters. I promise everybody that I will only do a P.O.V. on those that I have permission to do.

As you can see from my P.O.V., I have done my best to keep it within the basic story and try to sound like the character. I want to thank everybody for their comment both for and against.

Which to tackle first, being unfinished or Ms Tern?

Dear Auntie Enid,

I am writing to you because you are so wise and you give people advice through your lovely newspaper for nothing.

I have started a new series called Point Of View. In my new series, the character will give their thoughts on events and other characters within the story.

I've only attempted writing fiction in the last year or so, but for a few years before that I wrote a fair amount of poetry (tho not hugely prolific). Perhaps strangely, I have never written a poem on a tg subject, never been inspired to really.

Coeds 2 by Julie O has just been posted on the Stardust web site. Enjoy and be sure to leave a comment.

Fiona visiting a Carnival-Party

My name here on BC was Meri but I'd like to be called Fiona :)

Two friends invited me to join them for a carnival party, where i was the first time "out."

Which story here has the highest amounts of hits? Just wondering Amy

Today is a very big day in the U.S.

It's Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

It's the day of the Giants victory parade in New York City.

And, it's Super Tuesday, a day on which 24 States have their Presidential primary.

So, get out there and catch beads, cheer, and/or vote, as appropriate!

I thought I'd try something tonight by way of an experiment. I'm still plugging away at my Edwardian story so I thought I'd programme some appropriate music for the period, so far it's been Parry and Elgar orchestral pieces, with a chunk of Vaughan Williams ('London Symphony','Lark Ascending','Songs of Travel') - I'm not sure it's working as I intended, I seem to be listening more than typing :)

anyone else tried something similar?

What, pray tell, would it take to get you to continue Queen Rider? I loved it when I first saw it early last year, but now I've pointed it out to several friends who don't read TG fic, that are just fans of the setting, and they're dying for more of it too!

Please?

The voting on the Novel contest is delayed again while I beat some software into submission.

I don't watch football usually, but I would watch it more often if games were as good as the fourth quarter of this Superbowl. Two excellent teams, two fantastic quarterbacks, head to head competition between the minds of two great coaches. Wow!

The Pats didn't let themselves be outplayed, they just got out-lucked by a Giants team that made no important mistakes. Double wow!

I have a powerful need for contact with other human beings, and in spite of my own personal fear of rejetion, that need drags me out of my apartment and into the public. Inadvertently, I have spent thousands of hours working with a group called,"The City Repair Project", and have made dozens of friends. Oh, I am 61 and they are all in the 18 to 30 Age group, so my social contacts with them are less than what I would like but we have worked on several projects together. The good part of this is that they have seen a transwoman who is socially together enough to be a viable positive force in their organization

It is something that they needed to see, and I like to hope that little actions in many different places by transwomen will ease the way for all of us.

I just watched a documentary TV show on BBC America called Teen Transsexual; I hour long at noon MST. It followed a girl while she was 17 and 18. There was a little about her early life. She went on HRT at 16. After she turned 18 she was able to have breast implants. She was very slim and had had very little breast growth from the HRT.
