Quillian -38- Helpity-Help!

A word about Quillian's family. Dad is a hydra and mom is a succubus. Uncle Fleamus is a vampire. 

Later stories would have featured these characters, though only Mom had already been designed. Daniel had done several drawings of her. Basically Q without all the spines and quills and with a single horsetail and a more mature face and body.

Uncle Fleamus was a blond surfer dude as well as a vampire. A fleam is a device used in the old practice of medical bloodletting, basica...

Gymnozeas -1- Walking on the Earth

Clark Thomas North liked to walk, and he was good at it. A small accomplishment, perhaps, but a matter of pride to the young man and one for which he had been highly praised in his army career. In the Army, they called walking, marching, but it was the same thing.

It was not a large exertion for Clark to march as much as forty miles with a sixty-pound pack and do it in less than ten hours with a long break for lunch and four short breaks to drink water and readjust his pack. This endear...

Pete's Vagina -23- Return

The 'Dogs made room for Ginger to get to the ball, and when he had it, they began to form their wedge around him. But I was already downfield, slaloming between the big blockers. I hit Number Seventeen around the hips, putting my shoulder into his belly, using my momentum to bear him backward, falling on top of him. I dug at the ball, but he didn't let go.

He made a noise, like "Uff!" when I hit him, then a higher pitched "Ahhh!" as he fell, and another grunt when I landed on him. He wa...

Quillian -37- We meant to do that...

This is Quillian's boss form. And Inkypus as a saber-toothed casaba. The one gag Daniel and I thought of too late was to have her holding Tom Stabbo like a cutlass. :)

This is late posting because my hard drive blew up and it took more than two weeks to get a new machine and restore all my files.

Forces of Romance by Maryanne Peters - cover preview

This one is different. The series is titled, "Mostly Happy Endings" but...happy for who?

If we're lucky this will be out on Halloween. :)

Peace Bringer 3&4 by Maggie Finson - Cover Preview

If we time this right, it will be out just in time for Halloween. Oooo! Spooky.

This is Maggie's fierce saga of a war among supernatural forces and one person who can choose to bring peace -- at a cost!

Crowley's Ridge

My folks were hillbillies, from Arkansas,
And I guess I’m one too, ‘cause I was born on Crowley’s Ridge.
It ain’t much of a hill, just a thousand feet high and half a thousand miles long,
Curving through three states first away from then back to the river.
And if you have to ask which river, then you ain’t from West Memphis,
But there you go.

My folks lived in the mountains and I lived down in the city.
We didn’t see each other as often as we might like
...

Painfully tired

My posting has been a bit slow this week because I'm just not being very productive. Allergies are contributing to this but also sadness and worries.

I don't get depressed often and it seldom lasts long when I do. I expect to be back to writing and doing covers by Mon or Tue so don't send out the search dogs yet. :)

Sixteen the Hard Way -13- Stepping Up

Mom and Donna came to get me and I said goodbye to Sandy.

“I filled out a preferred customer card on you, with your measurements and sizes,“ she said as we left. “That way when you come back, if I’m not here, whoever is will be able to find what you need faster.”

I smiled and thanked her.

When we were downstairs and on the way out of Nordstrom’s, Donna gave me a peculiar look. “You’ve been crying?” She asked.

“Just shut up,” I said.

Oddly, s...

Quillian -36- TL:DR

So much to know, so much to learn! And only six more pages in this issue!

Damsels

By Melissa Quenya

The path that led toward the rocks passed through verdant greenery, as if to lull a hardened warrior into believing that there was nothing to fear. But Sir Manderley de Haute Devoir knew the truth. He brushed aside the dainty flower with a steel-gloved fist sending a butterfly aloft, and cruelly hacked at a colorful shrub that was barely in his way, sending birds up into the trees. He was on a mission. He had no time for scenery.

But the warm green ...

Pete's Vagina -22- Pep Talk

I left Megan outside the doors of the gym, staggered into the locker room and almost turned around. The smell hit me like a wet towel thrown over my head, reeking of sweat and aggression. I don’t know what sort of expression I had, but I was afraid that I might be about to throw up. Did the guys always smell this bad after a game?

At least they weren’t naked.

Coach Wilson was standing on one of the benches. “Nine to eight is the weirdest score I’ve ever seen in a football ...

Peace Bringer by Maggie Finson - soon on Kindle

When you're a new vampire caught up in a war between immortals, having your sex changed too is just a minor annoyance.

I believe the original version of this story appeared on Sapphire's Place.

Live on Kindle now!

Special FX -26- Safety Dance

I chewed and swallowed again. Such a marvelous meal Jack had had catered. I sighed. I put down the fork, took a sip of wine, and turned so I didn’t have to look at him sideways. I pushed a curtain of hair out of the way. “Did you just say….: I paused to try to think but he was already grinning and nodding at me.

I tried again. “Did you say you found the magic camera that turned me into a girl?”

“I did say that, I did,” he agreed, looking pleased. “But it wasn’t i...

Quillian -35- Ch-ch-changes

A sleepwalking Q finds a place to make some changes.

I thought having him take his socks off first was funny. :)

Area 52 -1- Mesa - by Erin Halfelven

Starting 10th grade in Mesa, AZ, in September turned into a real hassle. With the Pandemic mostly over, classes were in person, and people got to meet me, and apparently hate me.

I’m Joshua Christian Grenoble, known as JayCee, age 15, just barely. I’m small for my age anyway, and having a birthday in August means I’m younger than most of my classmates, too. So even smaller. 

I’ve been told that I’m cute, too, which figures; my mom is gorgeous. She used to be on TV g...

Hiatus

My big computer is down. It's the one I do Most everything on and has all my tools.

New computer on its way, probably Tue or Wed. I'm going to optimistic and say I will be up again Thu.

Writing and posting will have to wait a bit.

Thanks for your patience. :)

Sixteen the Hard Way -12- Trying On

I put one arm across my breasts and immediately moved it away. That had looked like I was posing.

Sandra handed me the bra. "You'd better put this on before you ketch your deeth."

I looked at her, but she kept a straight face. I'm the one who giggled. "That sounds like something someone's granny would say."

"Shooden wunda," she agreed, and this time we both giggled.

I put the bra back on and adjusted the fit like she had shown me by lifting my boobs one at a time and l...

Computer Troubles

My nine-year-old iMac is dying by inches. I will need to get a new computer soon.

I'm considering moving away from Mac, even though I love them.

My brother is looking for a desktop computer that will be good for my purposes and not break my budget, but suggestions are welcome. I already have a good PC laptop, which I will spend today setting up as a backup for Daisy here.

Unfortunately, this will make the next episodes of my serials late, almost certainly. Hard Way was sched...

Pete's Vagina -21- Half-Time

I didn’t get much chance to talk to the Bulldog's #17 in the rest of the quarter because things got hectic on the field. We took the kickoff and set up our flying wedge again with me in the middle, but the ‘Dogs had seen this before and had prepared. They’d put their heaviest guys on field and broke our wedge near their 35-yard line.

One of the bruiser ‘Dogs took me down this time. When I saw he would be too close to avoid, I went down to my knees and slid under his arm to fall ...

Quillian -34- Dog Latin

This is bad Latin in the last panel created by someone who knows small slivers of the language. Ydde is saying something about bring the monster out of this boy from the bottom of his mind.

Inkypus is saying, "We are so fucked!"

Special FX -25- Consternation

We didn't go back up to the apartment via the stairs; Jack would have had to carry me. After stumbling down the hall to the elevators leaning on him, I had barely begun to warm up. I was leaving puddles or would have been if not for the indoor/outdoor carpeting.

"I'm cold and wet," I whimpered. On further thought, I added. "I'm hungry, too." I pushed aside wet hair hanging in my face.

"We'll get you fixed up," Jack promised, tilting me a little to lean me against the wall.

T...

Sixteen the Hard Way -11- Fitting In

I was still testing out the new name I had chosen. Joni. It gave me a little insulation against what had happened to me. Jonny would not have to deal with getting measured for a bra, Joni could do that.

Speaking of which, Sandra was showing me how to measure myself by using her beige tape measure on herself. “See,” she was saying, “I’ve got a 32 inch band size, and my bust measures 34 so that’s a B-cup.”

“Uh-huh,” I said, taking the tape when she passed it to me. �...

Pete's Vagina -20- Gameday

Friday night after running the gauntlet of the locker room again, I joined the team on the sidelines. This was another home game, thankfully. I hadn’t yet come up with a plan for what to do about the locker room of an away game.

But we were at Friendly Field with the big silly painting of a cartoon lion on the end of the bleachers. It always looked vaguely like Snagglepuss to me.

And there were the cheerleaders holding up a banner for us to run under, Joanna at one end and Kimby...

Story Styles - Poll

I’ve got three serials running right now and fourth one being written but not posted yet. They are all rather different with different themes and elements. :) And styles.

Here’s a chance to indicate to this writer what some of your favorite TG themes, situations, styles and elements are. Pick as many as you like, even picking opposites if that’s what you want. You can amplify and add other choices in the comments.

Special FX -24- After Midnight

There I sat, almost boneless, when the bus rattled to a halt, the shuddering vibration nearly throwing me to the floor. At first, I had no idea where I was or how I got there, being more concerned about not falling out of the seat. I’d been having a strange dream, very surreal, in which I had played the part of Ultradoll, a super-villainess obsessed with karaoke.

“You okay?” the bus driver asked. “This is Levering and Veterans, about as close as I get to your address.” He got ...

Quillian -33- Advice

I dunno, this page always seems to crack me up when I re-read it. The landlady flirting with male Quillian while talking about food, Inkypus's oblique comments, the hypothetical advice from Q's parents.... And Daniel's art brings it to near-perfect looniness. :)
