When I sit down and think about it, it strikes me as completely absurd that I'm still writing a story which was intended to last a few episodes, and is now just about twenty away from 1800. Five years ago if someone had asked me if I'd be able to do another twenty episodes, I'd have been far from confident about saying I could - now, it's taken for granted I will - both by readers and I suppose myself, as well.

So, I am starting to post Transitioning Home. There are 36 chapters and I will be posting two a week on Tuesday and Friday. This will not take about 18 weeks to make it through everything and I hope you all enjoy it. Just so you all know, there is sex, violence, language, etc... It can get very intense and if you have triggers for some things this might not be the story for you. It is very realistic in dealing with war, trans issues, asshattery and the like. So, you are forewarned.

Well I have just submitted part one of my new story as there were no takers on my request for a collaborator. I'll just have to see how it goes and if it doesn't suit then I'll discontinue it and try something else. If after reading part one someone would like to join me with the rest of the story I would be only too happy to accomodate them.
For those of you that are still waiting for me to continue stories that are still ongoing, I apologise as i have not been able to get my PC out of storage at this time, the person who is storing for me is still on holiday as yet.

Just in case anyone's wondering where EnemyofFun has disappeared to... he's got caught up in events that took place a long time in a galaxy far away :)

Courtesy of a post he made to Google+ this morning:

Sorry for being absent for so long in my writing...I assure you nothing bad has happened. I've actually kinda got sucked into Star Wars The Old Republic. I did writing almost 5 pages of my latest chapter for Season...here's hoping I can take some time off TOR to actually finish off the chapter :)

So now you know :)

I'm part way through new story, it might or might not be a good one. I,m looking for someone to collaborate with and will share the credit for the story. So far I have done four chapters and am working on the fifth.

Anyone seriously interested

Sorry there was no Bike last night, I've been having internet connection problems. Hopefully this has been sorted now and normal service will be resumed tonight.

Since I have decided I am going to hook my star to Tegan, the story I have been sending around with little effect for the last few years I am going to post on here. I want some one to read it as I am very proud of the story. So, come next week, after Whedonfest is over and I can breathe, I plan on releasing my story Transitioning Home.

Whether you liked his writing or his opinions, you have to agree he was a giant in the cultural and political life of America and of course the author of Myra Breckenridge.

His obituary from the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/aug/01/gore-vidal-dies-...

About a month ago an Air Boat Captain on a tour with a family wanted to show a alligator up close so he held out a fish to feed the Gator with is illegally low and behold the 9 foot gator jump up and showed to tourist how to bite the hand that feeds you. The gator was found and the hand was found but sadly the captain is now called captain hook.This past Friday he was arrested for illegally feeding the gator with a $1000.00 bond ,talk about wierd justice.

I may be wrong about this, but it seems to me if I comment on a story before voting that I am unable to leave kudos. If I vote first, then of course leaving kudos is not a problem. Has anyone else noticed this? The reason I'm saying this is that I just received a very nice comment about a recent story; however, the kudos count hasn't changed. I can't imagine getting such a nice comment without getting kudos.

This blog is not really about anything at all, so those who are easily bored can stop reading now. :)

One of my frustrations with fiction writing is that ALL female warriors seem to be required to be nearly naked. This I do not understand, because anyone with breasts can tell you that the girls need to be aggressively supported and protected for a woman to be much of a warrior at all. Not only do they bounce around, but getting hit on one is a real owwie. It is confusing to me where this prejudice comes from on a site where many of us are professing to be women inside. Hmmm.

Hi! I'm working on a sticky block and somehow found myself searching through my memory for a story I once read, but have lost somewhere... I think it's in my amygdala, but I could be lost even there...

The story was about a teenaged boy - trans, at it turns out (!) - hoodwinked into a girl's identity by his cousins, who finds herself a TV (sic) weather girl, and then a reporter, and finally a news anchor, all in one summer.

Does anyone remember this chestnut? Your help would be appreciated.

I promise to be good.

I can be hard on my characters...

Well, progress has been rather slow for my current story, Destiny: Triumph of a Spellbinder, mostly because I've just gotten through a round of revisions. Me and my revisions.... Sheesh!

This has been an interesting weekend. I posted the final parts of my latest story, Adam and the Three Wishes, and then went through the post partum depression of wondering whether or not it would be received favorably. Being filled with a lot of self doubt doesn't help one bit. Thank you everyone for reading and commenting. I feel a lot better now.

I was looking for stories to read from my archived story collection and pulled out the box with The Proffessor stories after reading others I got to the Deity Arms series of stories. The intro says that this is an open universe and can be franchised anywhere in the world(not just NYC),So it might be fun for a country club in Ravenscrest or something in the Center universe maybe even a story from our friends across the pond or down under.
It would be nice to see a fun little universe come back to life.
I hope 1 of the new authors can come up with a story

Between bad weather (storms) the last week and a half upping my pain, the nerve block failing, prepping for Whedonfest in a few weeks and the usual fun and games of my life, I am not sure I will be able to get the next Kith and Kin done and out in that time. Typing this hurts, so...

Gaby chapter is up now

Just an FYI...

Erin is still home, but she is currently without internet acces. She's trying to figure the problem out herself, but the soonest her internet provider can get a tech out is Tuesday.

She will peek in on us from time to time via her cell, and various wifi hotspots when out and about, but let's PLEASE keep up our good record and leave the place mostly in tact for when she gets back online again.

... have been found out!

Someone (i.e. SOMEONE - *wink wink*) scattered carpet tacks on the road during an ascent on the Tour de France which caused at least 30 punctures.

No wonder there has been a deafening silence recently.

Enjoy your upcoming week y'all!

Hi all was going to post the first part of a new story by SaraUK today but unfortunately my Internet is out at the mo :(
Hopefully it will be back up later.

As there have been no episodes of ‘Bike’ for the last few days, I spoke to Angharad yesterday. This is just to let you know, she is well.

While we talked on many subjects, Bike was not one of them.

As one of the fans of this story all I can say is I hope she will continue. Like Tinker Bell, I believe.

So the obvious question is, Do You Believe?

Love to All
