OK, I'm going to be talking about ways that sex changes can/could happen in a story. I'm not saying that this is how you have to do things, but my goal is to look at the actual biology/genetics and try to keep things compatible with reality to the greatest extent possible.

This is what's called a "hard" science fiction approach. You take the way reality works (to the best of our knowledge) and make the minimum changes required to achieve your story's goals.

So, since the first thing you need to know when writing about anything is how things are in the real world. This prevents you from making errors like giving Switzerland a seacoast.

Ok, I've mentioned in a comment or two that I've done a fair bit of thinking about characters that change genders in "different" ways. "Hermaphrodites", cycling genders, etc.

The next instalment of book 8 is now up, enjoy!

As mentioned before, my roommate Tanya is a girlscout troop leader. She got the call that the cookies are in and now in the living room is thirty cases of cookies. This is cruel and mean of her because o am a chocoltarian. Yes, my religion is based around the many forms of chocolate. Now there about 40 boxes of somoas in the living room and I have been threatened with bodily harm if a single cookies somehow manages to disappear.

This is torture. She was smart enough to leave the thin mints in the trunk of her car

I'm sorry for those who are waiting for the next chapter. I am still having internet issues with computer and can't seem to get the phone to teather to the puter. I also have had several other ideas pop into my head and wanted to get the stuff out of my head. I do have a couple of Tracy chapters almost ready but working on something and need to get it looked at twice for the contact, must make sure I don't mess up bible wise

your weekly fix is ready!

Just a quick note, Tonights TMAW will be a little late tonight as I'm having fun with a tummy upset :(

Ok, I managed to add a bit more to Morgan earlier today, and will hopefully get more done tonightr.

No promises though.

I *did* figure out how to use that outfit I came up with. Minor alterations make it a sports bra and and a pair of *tight* spandex bike shorts. So Morgan can wear it while biking. Maybe over to Chris's house. :-)

And for anybody who cares, Morgan's bike:

The Importance of walking

Walking can add minutes to your life.
This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing
home at  £4,000 per month.

My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60.
Now he's 97 years old and we have no idea where the hell he is.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing...

I have just re-read A Summer,s Odyssey by Jennifer Sue.It is a real feel good story with plots and sub plots to keep the readers attention.Give it a try you shouldnt be dissapointed.Thank you Jennifer Sue for keeping me enthralled for the last few evenings.

Not making a lot of progress on writing. Fighting a cold for the last week or so.

And I've had a few ideas that just won't fit.

Hi every body,
Just one little question about tags.
What does Contributed by author(s) mean ?
As I'm pretty sure that I contribute to any stories that I would post, and the same goes to all of the writer we got here.

This video has gone viral; so, many of you may have seen it already, but if you haven't, it's something to see. This is Washington State (Republican) Representative Maureen Walsh's heartfelt remarks on ESSB 6239 (same sex marriage in Washington State) during the recent pre-vote debate.

I'm hoping that some of you, especially those with Kindles, Old and New, can test my Mobi eBook outputs. You can compare with the other outputs as well. :)

I recently was dragged to the local pool by my mother. Now a little background. I'm TS. I've been non-op for over 15 years due to being massively overweight. I am FAT, balding, bad skin (psoriasis) don't do the makeup thing but do do nail varnish and I usually dress casually... stretch pants and a simple t-shirt. In spite of all this I 'pass' easily in the women's change room.

I am a new member here, but have been a reader for some time. I recently wrote PRIVATELY to an author here. She alerted me to the number of negative comments she had received for one particular story and we discussed the pain such negativity can cause in the mind of the writer. Can I make a suggestion? There is a management tool called the 'Praise Sandwich' in which the first paragraph is something positive or praise-worthy; the second and third (if necessary) can be something negative or critical, and the final paragraph again something positive.

This is my first entry. There is a lot about using BCTS I don't know, I will try to learn over time.

Allow me to introduce myself. Over time I will talk about me, then branch out. I will try my hand at fictional writing eventually, I already do a lot of writing of a different nature, text books and electronics. I am in my mid 50's.
