I'm lucky to be happily married to a coppertop fabulous beautiful redhead, there's nothing you can tell me about them. There, fixed that for you Chrissy. Kat No, the original is fine as it stands, Kat... I wouldn't want her to go getting above herself!

The website is live, there's a Facebook page and a twitter account. All ready for an afternoon of social media promotion, and twitter has gone down. Why today, the day we need it the most. God Damn you Twitter. and breathe. If you can get onto Twitter or FB please share our posts as much as you can. At this stage that is the best thing any of us can do to get this idea rolling. Our twitter name is @transscriptsf and Facebook is TransScripts Transgender Fiction
For now the website address is anna-namaus.wixsite.com/transscripts, as soon as we've raised £100 we'll get a proper domain with 12 months hosting. (£50 if they have one of their almost daily half price offers on.) At the moment www.transgenderfiction.co is available which would be perfect. So push the site, push the pages and let's hope we sell books and find some nice people to donate. Enjoy your weekend Anna xx

Looks great, Anna! In other news, looks like I got my got my first Amazon review . Four stars. In a normal world that would be good, but the weird way Amazon rankings go, it probably knocked me off the "recommended" list. Oh well! I try not to worry about "working" Amazon rankings. I figure I'll just keep typing and one day get my break in the sun

In a normal world that would be good, but the weird way Amazon rankings go, it probably knocked me off the "recommended" list. Oh well! I try not to worry about "working" Amazon rankings. I figure I'll just keep typing and one day get my break in the sun In my experience, Amazon reviews are few and far between. I think people are reluctant to leave reviews on LGBTQ fiction when the rest of their reviews are about things in their ‘ordianry’ life and quite possibly under their real name. In these days when online privacy is so very important, it’s easiest to just fail to review, sadly. Don’t worry about it: you can pick up reviews or at least mentions on other platforms. Don’t let it bother you. Also, four star reviews are often perceived as more honest that 5* because so many products feature incentivised reviews. An example I read about recently concerned a person who bought a product that turned out to be a crappy Chinese knock-off. The vendor told them that if they left a 5* review, they’d get a full refund. So, yeah... the Amazon ecosystem is kind of screwy. Best wishes, B.

I'm going to be blogging this week (as soon as I have the blurb for Nathan Awakes sorted) and I'll promote it and include the link.

This is a request for short stories to put up on the website. It doesn't matter if they are old or new, but you need to be proud of them. It also makes no difference if you are published, want to be published or have no intention of being published, the aim of this is to let people know what sort of stories we write.
Please email me any stories you have on file that you'd allow us to publish to anna-namaus@outlook.com
Thanks
Anna xx

Oh, that’s harsh. I hear that AI can write text, now... so how long before it can critique it? Five years? Not much longer, for sure.
I don’t know what specs you have in mind for the short stories, Anna? Any guidance as to length? Subject matter? X-rating? I’ll let you have something if I can. Maybe the dysmorphic dinosaur thing I wrote this week doesn’t quite fit your expectations.
