So, new story, almost 8,000 words; post all at once or just drag out the chapters?
TIA

So I saw the swallowing clinic today, and it was good news.

The first thing was they think they figured out what happened. When I last had Covid, the muscles in my throat got loose at the same time as the nerves lost their connection.

Then they took some x-rays, and the system has improved greatly

Not all the way back, but much better than the last time they had checked.

They recommended that I continue to take small sips and bites, and to periodically clear my throat in case anything had gotten stuck.

Overall, I feel encouraged.

And I think I just found my new favorite coffee cup!

TL:DR up top - The Dead Pixel Society and Split Victory are on a temporary posting hiatus while I deal with a medical issue preventinme from comfortably spending much time at my computer. More details below for those interested :)

I don't know what's occurring here, but I logged in hrtr to check for comments, and my last three submissions had all been wiped (Routes 58, Perspective 4, In the Green 16)

I've reloaded the stories, but this seems odd. Also wiped was everything between the title and the story body, such as 'author', but it left in place everything below that.

How odd.

Hey everyone!

Last week I made a bold promise about posting chapters weekly and getting back on track, with a small caveat that no more disasters take place.

But here we are. Chapter 7. On schedule.

Don't get used to it. (Just kidding. Maybe. We'll see how the weather holds up.)

Enjoy!

There a couple of idiots trying to enter for the WNBA draft. I wonder how fast they would run if the league required SRS or even just blockers and female hormones before even considering their applications.

I'll be posting small, mostly about haiku-sized glimpses every now and then. How long and how often remains to be seen, but I expect this to go on for a while.

It has been a rough two months.

have been binge reading the Tammy books. Then I got distracted by the associated stories. They are keeping me distracted right now.
I had a stroke 9 days ago. I am currently waiting for a bed in a rehab center and hoping they do not opt for our patient rehab.
Would you please email this info to your 2 fellow authors and post it on BCTS? Thanks.
I am coping with my phone keyboard and don't have access to a computer keyboard so I won't be posting much.
(I don't even know how well I can type right now.)

Apparently bra padding is an inflated (sorry) issue in cycle racing, and not just for the female riders it would seem.
Anyway, a potential storyline awaits a keen author:

So, was meandering through my memories, and thought about a story I read ages ago. It went something like This:

I'm sorry this didn't go up yesterday. Friday was supposed to be posting day and then the rain arrived. No it wasn't "carry an umbrella" rain, but full apocalyptic, cats-and-dogs, the-sky-is-angry-at-you-personally rain. My internet took one look at it and clocked out for the day.

These last couple of weeks have honestly just been cursed. If fate were a person, I'd be leaving a strongly worded review. One star. Terrible service. Would not recommend.

Amazing what we as writers do with words and stories, these people do with cloth, materials, and another kind of skill. Some of those costumes must be extremely hot, suffocating, and yet the persons inside are so enthusiastically dedicated they will suffer to showcase their talent to the admiring public. In a way, all of us wish to present an image to the family, friends, general public. Whether we dress up, dress down, or just slip something on, consciously, unconsciously we are presenting an image.

Hi Everyeone!!!

So finally after having spoke to Piper yesterday evening the issue wasnt the site but there was something that was causing a problem to post Chapter 4. Turns out it was on my end. So I want to apologise and thank for the diligent check that Piper did to make sure that nothing was wrong with the site and it make me look harder at what was in the text for the story that was breaking it. Turns out I had an emoji when I though it did not. I am not sure how I managed to add it in there... but it was there! *insert facepalm*

its been nearly a decade since writing and posting on here. the community is very different. do readers prefer short serial type posts for stories, or 74 page/30,000 word stories?

Note that the bit in _Angel of Peace_ about the President objecting to Canada sending smoke across the border was written months before something similar actually happened.

Cloudflare is been annoyingly again. I really don't like being forced to you something I don't particularly like.

It was forty years today that I changed my lifestyle, I didn't even know if I'd still be alive 40 years later. I'm a very different person than I was then. Then I was very nervous about going into work as the new me and what my colleagues would think. Thankfully, it went well and here I still am surviving 2 strokes, type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and now old age. The arthritis is giving me hell at the moment, but I still here and hope to be for quite a while. I've made lots of friends and I thank Auntie Erin for the chance to post here, it's a great community. Love to all.

It's going slowly. I currently have over 17k words written and it promises to be at least twice that large when finished.

The Twins That Are Neither Identical nor Fraternal

For those possibly anxiously awaiting the concluding volume to the Light Saga, here's another update since it's been urmm, a goodly number of months...

Well I'm dyslexic and writing something that somebody else can understand is always the biggest problem I've had. The biggest problem I have is what I write down I believe means one thing and other people interpret it it's something completely different. It will probably need a lot of work. I intend to publish it here And if you want I will acknowledge your help.

The shortest story I'm asking you to help me with is about 2000 words long With a Prologue and epilog To boot. It is a TG story about a boy that makes a choice in a different universe to Hours.

Hi Everybody,

I'm just curious; how/ many of you were reading "Webs We Weave" and "Chasing Horizons?" I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm jonesing for the next chapter of these stories.

Please leave a comment and let the author know that you liked the story and want to see it continued.

Thnx.
