I'm back from Germany where I've been travelling around the east with my Dad and Gaby!

Oh yeah i was doing some bike ride thing too wasn't I? Well i completed my 5th 200km (125 mile) Spreewald Marathon in a little under7.5 hours including stops and a puncture! That was preceded by a so so 8km time trial where i managed 43rd in my age group and 145th overall out of 223 participants.

Normal service will be resumed shortly!

I want to introduce y'all to this author on BC. She's a damn good writer and has penned some really good stories that are posted here. She's even got a story/novel on Amazon. Who is this paragon, you may be asking?

I found this while browsing the news sites this morning and thought it would be of interest to some readers.

Hey Gang,

Just wanted to remind you or inform you that you can leave reviews on Amazon even if you didn't buy an item from them. We have several authors now who have put their wares up on Amazon and need reviews and stars to help others know how good they are. I've left a couple so far for stories I read, one on here and one on Kindle. As I catch up with my reading I plan on adding more reviews.

Unless anonymity is an issue, lets all leave reviews for books/stories we've read that are on Amazon for sale. Spread the word with good reviews and 5 stars!!

Dick Clark, the music industry maverick, longtime TV host and powerhouse producer who changed the way we listened to pop music with "American Bandstand," and whose trademark "Rockin' Eve" became a fixture of New Year's celebrations, died today at the age of 82.

Clark's agent Paul Shefrin said in statement that the veteran host died this morning following a "massive heart attack."

I have done it again, and humbly seek your aid. I have a story saved off, entitled Beyond The Sky, I have parts 1-3. According to word, I assembled it into a word doc on 3-28-12, but it will be a bit older than that. I finally read it last night and went looking to see if any more had been posted. I can't find it anywhere. It is by D A Trask. I have searched BCTS, FM, Stardust, TGFiction.Net, Whateley, in case I forgot to label it thusly, Sapphire's, Crystals, TG Storytime, Morfs, Literotica, Nifty, personal blogs I look at, several personal story sites, even so far as The Overflowing Bra.

Hello, it's a beautiful day. I just finish my income taxes and both of "my" prime minister want MORE of my money. No I didn't vote for theme, not that the options are any better.
The car in the shop for several small things.
The washer is starting to act up, so probably more money that way (or is it way MORE MONEY).
Brother dearest is still not paying any thing.
And the pay check is not getting bigger to compensate.

So not good for any clothing, therapy, i don't even thing about meds.
Still in the closet for most part.

Health is not bad, my cat is lovely and i envy her.

My 11 yr old grandnephew is in surgery as I write this; he is having a heart transplant.

In the past 5 months I have realized I am as a flower ... like a seed planted in the ground I only existed, struggled with my life and hid from myself. Potential was there, waiting for me to realize living was not a punishment, but a gift from god. When my spirit was woken the seed cracked and I became aware of myself and a little of my surrounding. As time progressed the sprout broke through the ground and I was no longer hiding from myself and my surroundings. However, it was not until I formed my bud that I realized the true potential I had in my life.

I am a male bisexual and have gay and lesbian friends but no TG/TS friends. I say I don't have any TG/TS friends but that's "as far as I know". I could have but they haven't come out to me and/or are so passable as for me not to question it.

There is a new Gaby chapter posted today but there won't be one next week as i'm away in Germany without a computer.

More in two weeks

QUESTION??: Does anyone know what ever happen to Wanda Cunningham as she hasn't been on this site with any of her stories since 2009??

I'm a bit late with this, but this Wednesday was my 1.5 year anniversary in this community. ^_^

Oh, and happy Easter! I hope it's nice and egg-stravagant. :)

Ya' gotta admit, this kid's interpretation of Opposite Day is a literal interpretation. Even the cop thought so. Probably wouldn't be all that popular Opposite Day on this story site though.....;-)

Has anyone heard from Lilith Langtree since that bad storm of Tornado's hit her neck of the woods there in Dallas, Texas area today. Hope everything is OK for Her? Richard

A story on this amazing person will be on The Rock Center at 10 (East) 9 (central). It should be about 15 minutes long. In a country like China who still value boys over girls, her father's attitude is perceptive and loving. Even the Chinese government values her, and so does her husband who happens to be German.

Cool!!!!

Anybody heard from Lauran Travis? She hasn't posted in several years and I haven't heard from her in at least that long. Then all of a sudden I started getting what appears to be the typical spam message from her addressed to me. So I was wondering if anybody had kept in touch with her and had a reasonably current email addy.

Stop Hair Before It Grows

Hi all, I've decided upon dropping the entire sci-fi and magical transformation in my latest series of stories I've been writing. I've re-worked several characters and, of course, the plot into a new story. This new story, still untitled as of yet, will be a real world transgender and coming of age story in the style of Becoming Robin and Sarah Carerra (two of my favorite series' on this site), yet this story will be told from a third person perspective (unlike Robin and Sarah).
