I was just curious as to how this function works?
In my latest story "Becoming Holly" the "more like this" included the twist endings "Instrument", "Making a Scene" and "Rehabilitation" and a couple of others "Closer Friends" and "Sought After".
It possibly should have included "Uncle", "Bait", "The Surgeon" or the multiple personality one - forgot the name!
Is it an algorithm?

I wanted to give everybody an update, because its been a busy time since I last blogged.

First, we have a therapist in our house. My brother and sister in law's cat Blanka somehow sensed I was having a tough time, and did something she doesn't normally do - jump into my bed and purr in my ear. That pushed Mr. Nasty away, and thank God.

Second, we were able to get my mom to see her doctor, and he's arranging an appointment with a specialist to help us figure out why she's having these episodes in the early morning.

Amadeus Irina -- Book 1 is published on Doppler!!!

I have waited a long time for this!

There is some additional content that rounds out the book--and books 2 & 3 are in the works (also with additional content over what was on BC).

Please help support BC by putting [awesome ;)] reviews on Amazon!

HUGS!

What's with this pop up at the top of every page?

Everything seem to be working alright, but it seems to be slow.

Notice: MemcachePool::getstats(): Server 169.197.80.98 (tcp 11211, udp 0) failed with: Connection refused (111) in require_once() (line 19 of /var/www/html/bcmain/armoire/sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache-lock.inc).

I'm struggling with feeling worthless, almost to the point of feeling suicidal.

I honestly don't know if this is PTSD, depression or both, but hugs appreciated

I was a little under the weather yesterday, so I spent the day reading A Time for Mercy the latest Grisham novel.

John Grisham has sold over 300 million books.

He talked a small press into publishing 5,000 copies of his first book A Time to Kill. In his words, he couldn’t give it away.

Then Random House published his second novel The Firm. It became a bestseller and he eventually also sold millions of copies of A Time to Kill.

What does this mean to BC writers?

get set, go!

Most of you will not have known Alison Mary, although she had several dear friends here. She was an 87-year-old who passed away today. Although she was not an author here she would post many supportive comments to stories in days past.

The sun might be shining at the moment but its still windy and rain is coming through after yesterdays storms.

Sam is led deeper into transformation into a WunderGirl! Is there no way out? And is he beginning to like what is happening?
 

Well, here it is at last the final part of The Fall of Kruhl. I hope you all have enjoyed reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it! It's been an absolute blast.

The Fall of Kruhl Pitched Battle By Daniela A. Wolfe Months after the events in Tondzaosha, Alexandra has begun to make a life for herself in New Hebron, but never one to back away from a fight, she leaps at the chance to interceded when she crosses paths with someone who needs her help.

If there wera a bot and a boy and girl wearing belts standing next to each other with their bodies obscured so that only the belts were visible could you tell which was which?!?

How?!?

One of my dogs apparently has a food allergy, so I've gotten her a different type of food.

She doesn't seem to like it. She has taken to trying to bury the bowl with her nose -- unless, I feed it to her by hand. Then, she is quite content to eat the stuff.

Okay so last night I had another dream where I was at school (this time it was university, but still) and lost.

Except this time I ran across a really bubbly young woman, who seeing me looking confused took my arm, and when I told her were I wanted to go, she found us a rather round-about route.

The bakery besieged?! Can the Loft still be Angie's safe place?

A reasonably sensitive article about this amazing woman.

There was also a long article on facial feminisation surgery in yesterday's.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2020/nov/10/female-femin...

... something strange has happened. I wrote a story called "Christian Feminization" based on an institution of that name described in a TG site I found called virtuousmodestlady.tumblr.com. When posting it I mentioned: “This is a story that could certainly be extended”.
It must have struck a chord. As I later explained, that story received around 11,000 reads in just two days, which is almost unheard of. Reviews of the story included one describing it as: “this titillating new genre and another said: “I would like to see more, and longer, stories set in this universe”

I was watching a video about the "Make a Wish" foundation, who give kids with serious health issues a chance to do something they always wanted to, and it occurred to me, this might make an interesting premise for a story here, like a trans kid uses their wish to spend a day as their true selves, or something.

Sadly, right now my writing spoons are missing, so I cant run with the idea, but maybe someone else would like a crack at it.

what do you think?

There has been a split in my extended family for most of my life, with many of my uncles and aunts refusing to having anything to do with my mom or my brother or I.

Now, two of those uncles are apparently having serious medical problems, and there's every chance I wont know anything unless they die.

Despite this, I'm finding myself wishing I could see them one last time.

Crazy, huh?

It snowed here Friday night and it has been raining since at the lower elevations. This has probably put an end to our fire season for this year, locally, though fires continue to burn in the northern part of the state.

One community near here in the mountains has suffered two evacuation orders due to fire and yesterday faced another order for flash flooding. The cold saved it, not enough rain fell on the snow to melt all of it and make a dangerous flood. This morning, the white peaks appear and disappear in the clouds that are still dropping snow up where we really need it.

Here in the UK its Rememberance Sunday, when we honour our dead from 2 World Wars and subsequent military interventions, lest we forget.

Soon-to-be Ex-President Trump has tweeted that more people voted for him than any other President in history.

I am reminded of an old joke.

An American and a Russian compete in a two-person race. The American wins easily.

Pravda (old Soviet news organisation...Their equivalent of Fox News) reports on the race. Russian athlete comes second, American is next to last.

War of the Worlds has been reproduced many times. I am surprised. I just happened upon a delightful preview version of it on YouTube set around the turn of the 20th Century with the long skirts and such. I have been trying to rent the full version of it but the BBC seems reluctant to do so. I even subscribed to BBC and gave my address as Dumfries, but they seemed quick to suss out my treachery. My next approach might be to use something to show my address in the UK, but not be there. I'm reluctant to do that because I do not wish to be spanked.

Suggestions?

I was watching the BBC Autumn watch UK wildlife programme - they got a shot of a Dormouse!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks to Angharad I am sure there are many Bike fans who raised a smirk to this

so I've been fighting some kind of allergy for days, and I'm getting pretty tired of it.

Can I return my sinuses to the manufacturer?

Yesterday I made the 330 mile round trip to Amarillo VA. Lots of questions from the nurses all things transgender and how I got my name. I explained, four hundred years ago Barbie was a boy’s name in Germany. Today it is considered a girl’s name. Kinda like the story of my life. They were all really nice. I pray a few more understand we are human and not monsters after they had a chance to talk and visit with me. Barbie isn't what is on my military records, it is what everyone called me. Hopefully I dispelled a lot of the MSM and tabloid lies and misinformation.

Got a new story up!

Angie versus the bureaucrat.

Hey everyone,

Just letting you all know that I probably won't be posting any chapters this week. I was trying my best to get Apocalypse Dawn ready to post for today, but I caught a bad cold over the weekend and it's just kicking my ass. Between the sinus headache, the coughing, having no energy at all, and my inability to focus it's probably better that I just take it easy and get some rest.

*big hugs to you all*

I know that today -- November 3rd, 2020 -- is going to be a rough day for a lot of people, regardless of what country you're from or what you believe.

I'm going offline completely until everything is over with. I'll be back on shortly after midnight local time on November 5th.

Everyone, please stay safe, stay calm, and make sure those around you do the same.

*hugs*

How many times have I beat the drum, no two transgender is alike. Dr. Harry Benjamin wanted a one size fits all and everyone followed up with the same wrong concept. Whether you have or haven't transitioned, whether you want to or are accepting the circumstances doesn't mean a darn thing. What matters is do you accept yourself. What you feel about yourself and what you project is what people think of you even when at times they are looking at a complete opposite picture.

On May 24 I posted my 100th story on BCTS, now here I am six months later posting 200.
I suppose that I owe all the other writers an apology for barfing at your party, but it just has to come out!
People may know that I am even more prolific on Fictionmania, but there it is more ideas than fully formed pieces. Here on BCTS I like to write real short stories, that paint a picture and invite the reader to see my image, and sometimes color it in a little themselves.

Oh yes, those of us in England at least had an unwelcome gift last night, the removal of November from the 2020 calendar! -break-->Yep, seems that from Wednesday we join France and Germany in a new national Covid lockdown in the vague hope that there will be Eid, Xmas and New Year in December. So its back to furloughs, empty streets, closed stores and no use of public transport, difference is, the weather may not be so clement and the smile and carry on we saw in the spring will, I'm sure, quickly turn to frustration as 'daily' exercise is less of an option in cold, wet weather.

Sam wants a summer job in the worst way. A poster attracts his attention with an offer that might be just that!

What started out as a way to avoid heavy labor turned into something very much else! Sam takes the first steps on what may be a journey that changes his life. Is getting a good start on his college fund worth it?

A little bit late today, but at least it's finally up!

On BC, Marjorie's bombshell leads to ice cream and other complications...

I've got a bad case of writer's block right now. I've written and deleted about 10 paragraphs worth of text cause it's not coming out right. With tomorrow being the day I usually post, I don't think that I will have the next chapter done by then. I do, however, have a new (short) story that I've been wanting to write and the first chapter kinda flew together last night. The main character is based on me, but I've thrown in equal parts fiction along with fact. All it needs is some polishing up and it will definitely be ready for posting tomorrow.

I have gotten old. My neighbors, the Methusela's, children had a work day in their yard today. They created a belt high pile of leaves that I walked past numerous times. Not ONCE did I have an urge to leap into it. It'll be a walker and the nursing home next.

A sad RL echo of the "Marshals" (Black Badges) series. :(

New Kindle release!

I have added a synopsis (i.e. "Here's the story so far") to yesterday's and today's chapters of my fanfiction to "A Mother's Love". You'll find it just below the opening credits.

I should have started yesterday with this, as just recommending readers to go back and reread all 14 previous parts of Alys's story - well, it was daunting, I'm afraid. (Like I said yesterday though, they are short parts and read really quickly; still, I should have had a synopsis up when I published the first part of the fanfiction. It's there now though.)

Nearly thirty years ago, I accomplished something good that had me on the front page of statewide newspapers, repeatedly. Many, many good things happened for hundreds of thousands of people as a direct result of my efforts.

Then some bad people asked me to do some unlawful things, which I refused to do.

At the same time, other people wanted to make money they weren’t entitled to.

Thirty months into the project, I found myself accused by a state-wide elected official of malfeasance.

I was the subject of several frontpage exposes.

but not entirely my fault!

Hey readers. I'm very sorry but MSPD won't be posted again until next weekend. We've been so busy the past three days with dealing with things now that Martin got his first paycheck. We got a lot done and did some shopping and hopefully we'll have our medical cards in the next week or two so I can deal with getting on my meds and hormones again. So things are looking good.

*big hugs*

I only just noticed last night that Band of Sisters is the title of a very terrific serial by E.E. Nalley. I have changed the title of my recent effort to Sisters in Arms. My apologies.

Hello Closeteers!

**Sigh** here. I imagine we all have our own fave stories here on BC, including some that were left unfinished (and therefore leave us yearning for more expounding and eventual resolution). This is through no fault of the authors of these tales; there are millions of good reasons they aren't finished (most having to do with Real Life Issues).
