    Just had an idea to start a thread where we could all share transgender/CD/TV related poetry and short stories. Feel free to add a complimentary picture to your written works. All contributions welcome!

    Thanks Julia! Hopefully some members will post their creative works & who knows where it could lead... If it inspires anyone to put pen to paper, or fingertips to keyboard, all the better ;-) xx

    I'm no good at poetry, but have wrote dark erotica in the past, I might have to adapt one to a more trans based version at some point. Loved ya poem though, keep up the great work

    Bump! Surely some Transtastic members write the odd piece of poetry or short story? Would be great if you added it here for everyone to enjoy ;-)

    This is an interesting idea. The articles software which was used on this site predates my involvement but I have managed to find it. I don't know the reason why it was switched off but it seems to have been disabled at some stage during 2013.

    I have re-enabled it and wow, what a find this is. It's like a time capsule showing all the posts from that year and previous years and it looks like the Transtastic membership at that time was really into writing articles because there are heaps of them, on all kinds of subjects.

    Take a look at https://transtastic.com/se4/articles

    If this software does not harm the rest of the site in any way, then maybe we'll keep it going and we can use this for poetry and fiction.

    Please let me know if you like it.

    Hugs,

    Katie

    Yes Katie - that's an amazing find for sure! Hope it still works & doesn't upset the stability of the whole site. It would be great if we can start posting on it again. Superb work!

    Love,
    Jenna

    My heart is deep,
    My heart is dense
    & I ain't seeking recompense

    I need my fortune told
    I need my inner being to be beheld
    I need the attention of Sir. Worthy

    Gently slip me into fine
    lace, silk, hell satin's no crime
    and then let our thoughts become as one

    ramp me, vamp me
    near the woods and you could camp me
    sharing leads to seduction

    Take me to upton,
    for utopian seduction
    take me to barnsley and irrigate and farm me

    take me where, no travel company can bear
    your minds ideal theatre
    rehearsed played out in glory, 3d technicolour

    Film me in black and white
    film me in day and night
    record me breathing in and breathing out
    find me draped,here, there, and all about

    tell me you're kindly
    treat me sweetly then you'll find me
    caressing your tower and your bellfry
    we can make love and frollick, and be care free

    Don't forget the Articles section at https://transtastic.com/se4/articles. I have now added this to the main menu. If it takes off we'll keep it in the act. Over to you...

    ***FAO - Katie Glover*** - thanks for all your help but sorry Katie, there's no visible 'add new article' anywhere in the articles section, at this end. Maybe only admins can see that?

    Sorry, it seems it was only available to mods and admins. I've fixed it so you should now be able to see it. Please try again.

    Okay, I'm about to give up on this. Before I do, here's a screenshot of what I can see on the Articles page. Articles-Articles Home-Articles Browse. But no 'Add New' button. Note the dates on the right have 2012, 13, 14 and nothing beyond. That would be the case if no-one has actually added anything of course, but maybe one of the admins could do a test posting to see if it still works in 2018?

    Hi Jenna

    What you have to do is the following steps

    1. Open an article - any article will do

    2. Once it is open there is a field that opens at the top >>>add an article

    3. Click on that link and then press sign in again

    4. Create a new article, remember to add a photo so that it will show on the site, and put it in a category etc.

    5. I created a new story as a test - on the 100th anniversary today of women getting the vote as I figure it is rather apt for a transgender site, where most members are transwomen.

    If you have any issues still then let me know

    hugs

    Thanks Pauline - i've tried those steps and added the above poem, though it isn't showing up [yet?]
