I have lost a notebook filled with many story ideas, as well as notes on some that I have started working on. Some I had hoped to finish and post here. But nooooooo. Someone had to take it last night while I was asleep. But that’s not all they took. They took my car that it was in.

Hi all

Just to let you know that I'm back from my travels, writing more of Peaches and if you go to this page Nena has written a bit of a holiday blog.

Superheroes: A Warning

Interesting podcast from The Guardian

The portion on Superheroes starts at 27:20

Her thesis is that the film versions of superhero characters are typically hypermasculinised in comparison to the stories portrayed in the comics the characters are drawn from, and reduces the acceptable story arcs to a handful of "movie versions."

Came by to look for the latest chapter of Wendy Pilgrim by Nancy Cole and all of Nancy's stuff is deleted again. Did someone leave a comment better left unsaid? I am disappointed that another author has left. I really wanted to find out who the Colonel was and how the story turned out.

I don't comment very often because I have a hard time putting thoughts into words and don't like just saying great story. The Kudos button is a good idea.

Who from here is attending the Southern Comfort Conference in Atlanta, GA USA. It is September 8th thru the 12th. This is my first year going and will be dressed as my female self for the first time in public the whole week of September 6th thru the 13th.

We've all heard about what happens when you join the Hatbox, the site continues, thousands of people are transported to various and sundry states of bliss — the exact nature of which is a matter of personal preference — all of which is a very good thing, but a little abstract for some people. They might reasonably ask themselves, "What's in it for ME!"

It's a perfectly rational economic question, so here's part of the answer:

Commenting on your own stories… I have noticed that a number of authors on this site have started replying to every readers comment on a story with a comment of their own. Since we can no longer vote for stories, this tends to give a totally misleading impression of the popularity of a story. For example I see a story with 20 votes and think "this might be good," and browse the comments, only to find that ten out of twenty have been posted by the author. This is a misleading practice, somewhat akin to a politician repeatedly voting for him/herself. I have heard from many authors who don't do this that they regard these "reply-comments" as cheating.

Hello.

I'm just writing to let the fans know that chapter 10 is in the works, I mean it's my very first 10th chapter of anything so I'm going to try to take some time with it and try to make it a good one. Plus I'm back from my two days off at night shift so it kind of cuts into my writing time too, rrrg...Real life...bites. Anyway I will be posting it when it's done but I just want to do a decent job for everyone.

Thanks everyone.

Have recently been thinking back to a time as a child when I had a pet cat and came up with a name that was out of the ordinary.

My mother had bought me a Burmese Brown kitten when I was 13, I remember mum asking what name I wanted to name my him - with perfect clarity and some pride - I named him SPLINTERS !

Well this got me thinking ( all 99.99 per cent ) about another very obvious cat name .... PUSSY ! - Well can you imagine calling out at the top of your voice in a crowded neighbourhood .... Come hear Pussy or worse Pussy Pussy where are you !

posted a short chapter 15 to keep the story going. More to come.

I guess since I've made a point to tell all about how great it is to be out to my doctors, I should post the latest episode.

I recently visited my endocrinologist for a follow-up visit on my thyroid. In going over all the scans and imaging they've done on it he told me there was one small spot that he wasn't really sure of that was of a minor concern and would like to do a biopsy on it.

SOS. Same attitude that developed among soldiers in Vietnam, with reason.

Here in southern Afghanistan, I often ask the soldiers what they think about the things folks are saying about the war back home. The question is usually phrased as a simple, "Does the American public get it?"

I just happened to hit FM history to see what was posted today in the past and the first one up about floored me. Today is the 10th anniversary of Babs Yeruncle posting her sci-fi space opera Planetary Agents 1. It is hard to believe this oldie but so goodie is 10 now. Now if we could just convince her to finish Agents 3.

BOSTON — The federal law banning gay marriage is unconstitutional because it interferes with the right of a state to define the institution and therefore denies married gay couples some federal benefits, a federal judge ruled Thursday in Boston.
