There are two things that make this insane fantasy excursion into girlhood worth it. 1. I have my own self grown boobs. 2. I no longer have to endure the sweating and itching from that sack of shit between my legs.

but Spring still feels more like winter!

I don't know if I am unique, but I am not keen on books being issued a chapter at a time. I want a good read, not having to wait for hours or days for the next installment. I know that there are some stories where there is no ending and like Soap Operas go on for ever and ever; and I know that Charles Dickens published many of his books in parts, and I am sure that many people enjoy this format, but when a story really is finished; I would love it if the author would repost it as a complete story.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Columbine

This is a non TG Book, but in the Fantasy genre. All I remember is the covers and the basic premise of the book. The first book has a woman in a green dress playing a violin. The second has her in a white shirt and black leggings with a red sash around her waist, with a violin bow in her hand.
This story surrounds the girl as she learns she can use magic, which is forbidden and she ends up running away from the school she is at. In the second book she helps lead the magic users in a revolt from the "Clergy", I think. Any help would be appreciated.

"Born To Be Exhibited"

I just re-read the piece, and even after the 4th edit, I am still embarrassed by it. I tried to get rid of it but the Edit button is gone.

Lets hope May is a bit better!

Most will be elated with this news and justly so but it is an executive order and may be removed as easily as it was put in place. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade. Ttry and keep in mind we (transgender) are a political football to politicians, medical personnel, news commentators. Also the same to anyone who thinks they can bank political points by using us. The smallest minority we have no political clout, no financial clout. We are the Mistress to the Billionaire, good as arm candy and trotted out for show and tell when it suits anyone to use us.

For a pretty long while, I've been struggling to figure out what happens next in my story, "Dominic and the Daddy Domme". After starting and scrapping a couple of ideas, I decided to see if an AI generated story could give me some useful inspiration. While the story generated went in a completely different direction than I'd expected, I liked how it came out, so I thought I'd share a sorta alternate world version of Dominic and the Daddy Domme. Enjoy!

Having suspected this for some time, Today an actor I recognized rode the elevator with me in my apartment building. The building is by no means upscale at all. He was friendly and showed no signs of the purported arrogance or reclusiveness . No, I am not identifying them or where I live.

so a couple of days ago, we noticed a crack in the ceiling in our bathroom, that had water leaking out of it.

we called the building maintenance person, and after taking a look he said he'd need to get into the suite above us, and no one there was home, so he planned to try again today.

In the meantime, the crack has turned into a piece of the ceiling barely hanging on by one corner, and the water situation is worse.

Hopefully this get fixed before we have to evacuate the apartment.

hugs appreciated.

quite Spring-like atm, blossom on the trees, a splash of colour in the hedgerows and lo, what is that yellow thing in the sky?

I think that I have been a member at BCTS for 20 years, perhaps longer. Until the last several years, I felt like what happened here literally saved my life, and I thanked the site in kind. My stories never garnered much attention in readership, votes or comments. It hurt like hell to have that happen. I put my heart and soul into those stories. I will say that my writing provided a way to vent that I needed.

Hey guys, so quick update.

Regrettably they are not the edible kind, but at least it means progress - of a sort.

Tomorrow (22nd April) I go to London for a pre-operation consultation.

A few years ago, perhaps before Covic, I had been reading a story called something like "Pretend Princess", or "Fake Princess". Today, I remembered it and tried to use the BCTS search engine to find it so I could see if there were further chapters. The search engine indicated that it had "timed out", whatever that is. There had been a few chapters but it stopped, uncompleted. I can't remember the name of the author. I wonder what to do now?

So next week, I'm going to be super busy being the taxi for my aunt, as well as having another attempt at getting a mold for my new dentures.

It means I'm going to have to make sure I squeeze in down time for myself whenever I can, so I may not be around much.

Written by Barbara Allan, "The White Wolf".
I thought I had read it years ago, but don't find evidence of it. I got part way through Ch. 1 but it hits too close to home. It seems to be a good story. The grammar is not perfect.

The story alludes to the idea of Native American Two Spirit, and their flavor of spiritualism. It explores the Native American philosophy about animals.

I'm trying to avoid involvement in gender switch writing or stories. Two or Three decades of that is more than too much.

well almost.

First, a warm welcome back to the talented Rylee Skye who has returned, continuing with Dear Ariel.

If you’re not familiar with the stories, I can’t recommend them highly enough. Rylee has a rare talent for covering what could easily be sordid and disturbing, with taste and grace. The story is intimate in scope, heartbreaking in circumstances, but uplifting in the characters’ growth beyond them. Its people are so profoundly human and so clearly drawn. The writing and editing are flawless.

I was thinking about old stories that I loved and was reminded of Maiden by Decree by Maggie Finson.

Does anyone know where that story now lives? I think it was not at BCTS when I first read it, but I cannot remember where it was or even if the site is still around. I doubt it is.

Also, is there a list of where to find the Caregiver stories? It was not a long run like Whately, but it was a nice Universe that I dearly loved.

Thanks in advance,
Cassie Ellen

Hi Everyone - I'm not sure if it was noticed, but I recently tore down my Patreon, stopped writing Rylee and pulled out of Scribblehub. While it might have seemed spontaneous, there were real world reasons. I won't go into it all because, well, it's a lot of stuff. To make an extremely long, complicated story very short, the consequences of my own actions reared their ugly head and I believed that the world would be better off without me. I left all of my Discord servers, erased my Patreon, and tried to eliminate every trace of myself before attempting suicide.

Reading another of Anne McCaffery's tales, Sassenach Pirate Planet where a senior female naval officer in a space fleet attends a dinner in what seems to be described as a Victorian era ball gown. As one might expect, the different space vessels use present day Naval designations Interesting. And they are using FTL propulsion. All this makes for fun fiction but is impossible by present day standards.

Recently, Willow Dancer posted a blog reminding us all of the fourth anniversary of the disappearance of Elsbeth, a much loved author on this site. Like many, I followed her work religiously - especially her stories The Lost Queen and Frejya’s Daughters.

Four years ago this week was her last posting. During the height of Covid, while many of us were stuck at home living vicariously through her wonderful writing, she was still hard at work. Until she wasn’t.

but not quite what i was expecting!

One fiancé is too many! But confusion is guaranteed or double your uncles!

I have a serious character flaw.
I want to please people. I almost always live up to people’s expectations. I feel uncomfortable when I can’t do that.

That is very double edged. On one hand I have lived up to some pretty high expectations and enjoyed and benefited from that.

A San Francisco posh restaurant, sometime in 1937:

"Just what do you mean, by 'you folks'?" asked Judson.

i have 5 sisters and one brother all have turned there back on me except one she is 4 years older than me.

I've read several of Karin's books and like many TG authors she puts together arguments as to why we are just ordinary people trying to get on with our lives, however, in this book, she cleverly introduces the fact that we all know something, because everybody does, like the burning of bras by ardent feminists or George W Bush's ranch, no bras were ever burnt, just dumped in a bin - the burning being journalistic embellishment, second, George Bush was never a cowboy or had a ranch, she asserts that he doesn't like horses, may even be afraid of them - probably the only thing he and I have in

In response to a few postings from various authors and other visitors to this site of late, but mostly in response to a string begun by Gwen Brown.

It is finally clear that stories by Gwen Brown, Ahabidah and any other pseudonym I have used, do not get read, Kudo, or Commented on. It is senseless to ask you to pull my stories. Not angry, just finally facing reality.

April's here, and it's time for more

Thanks to everyone who has sent money. We really depend on you, more than you know. :)

Thanks for any amount you can send. All contributions are very welcome. Thanks a great deal to all who have previously contributed here or for Piper's apartment needs, or paid for a membership at Patreon or Hatbox.

Hugs,
Erin, Piper, Jamie, Cat, Ashly, Rasufelle and the rest of the crew

Or 'what i did Easter week'.

Four days earlier, lady in front of me was holding two planted pots. She tried to get the attention of the man pushing a cart already headed for the exit. Wasn't having much luck.
Obviously she wanted him to wait so she could pay for her plants and put them in the cart. "Ma'am do you want him back?"
She glanced in my direction and nodded, "Yes." Then turned her attention toward him.

I was told that entered this world about this time of day (As I write this) 73 years ago.

I was very much surprised to find some of the works of my childhood, on Kindle. Right now I am reading Dragon Riders of Pern, and enjoying it greatly. I haven't re-sampled Andre Norton yet, but assuming I don't encounter my mortality, plan to. Quite fun.

I am so sick of the stupidity being spouted by Donald Trump and his cult of morons - it just gets worse and worse.

Their latest claim is that the Transgender community purposely scheduled Transgender Day of Visibility on the same day as Easter in order to mock Christians. That is total bullshit, and what’s more it is intended solely to stir up hate against the LGBT community.

Randi Gets Kissed!

As another week nears its end, how about another edition of:

Can someone who read the longer version of _Unwanted Child_ in the anthology "Murder at the Shapeshifter's Ball" let me know what they thought of it?

I not only put more things I wanted in the longer version, I put some of the things from readers' comments about the shorter version.

In the Scottish courts they are actually debating this, Women for Scotland, partly funded by JKRowling, are trying to overturn the 2004 law of someone with a gender recognition certificate ( such as me) shouldn't have the same status as biological females. Read the article and see how at least one judge sticks to her principles, I admire and respect her.

I’m trying to get back into the swing of my daily writing…it’s been a slow endeavor due to my health these days but I will make the effort to do more.

In case any readers have wondered what “Papa and Mama” Joel look like:

There is something fundamentally wrong with me when I can't take a compliment from a Facebook game.

I was shocked, saddened and disturbed by the death of Nex Benedict in Owasso, Oklahoma in February 2024. As it happened, I was making a trip to Tulsa to visit my sister. If I had known of it, I might have attended one of the vigils at Owasso or down in Tulsa. We drove by the turn-off to Owasso a couple times but didn't try to visit there.

We did drive down to Guthrie Green in the Tulsa Arts District where one vigil was held. And we visited the Woody Guthrie Center right across the street.
