Elfy you have me quite confused. I've gone back and read my comments forwards, backwards, and upside down, and I don't know how you've got me saying what you claim I said. I really didn't even come close to that. What I said was they have always been straight with me, and that the transphobia was an unsubstantiated claim. *I* am TransGender, as are several other authors there, and we haven't seen it. It goes even deeper than that, but I am not at liberty to discuss that .... I only allude to show how ludicrous such an allegation is. Not only that, but I took great pains not to mention her name, so as not to be calling names. I never mentioned a name ... YOU did that, and then you misquoted me and mischaracterized me. Please don't do that. I try to be a member of these places in good standing and to do that, I don't comment that much. I commented here because it concerns my livelihood. I came out of the shadows before because I was attacked by the person who I did not name and you did. That person apologized, but her damage was done and she knew that. She did not attempt to repair that damage. ValentinesStuff, I would not be so sure about that. If you use a site and by use of it, it states you agree to the rules of said site, and the rules are that the administration of that site takes ownership of what you post (it's really a dangerous position, TBH....), then they can indeed do that. I don't think DD would, but if such a statement was made on the former bulletin board server where this had been posted, the new owner of said files knowing nothing about those people who posted, they can make a legal argument. And when it is international, and you don't have enough to fight it, and don't want your real legal name attached to it, there's little that can be done. I am not my publisher. I don't have to answer for anything they did or did not do. But, they were banned from here and I think attacking them where they can make no defense is unfair.

Yep I am done too. I just wanted to set things straight about my involvement with that site, tell y'all about our current endeavor - and then was also forced to have to defend that I am who I say I am. That done and on record, it's cool Look we have no problem with anybody. Save perhaps Claudia, which the news seems to get worse and worse. But who knows, maybe that's blown out of proportion too. I've dealt with that before. But we want to work in tandem with other groups. We are not here to replace them. We have sections that are not covered elsewhere and a point (critique) not permitted elsewhere. We fill a hole, and that was the point all along. That was the point of the old forum, that got lost along the way, too. And I should know - I founded the place. Nuh -uh .... she's MY sister! :: Giggle ::

Ok, can't figure out what the heck was supposed to be wrong with that comment I posted, and no one bothered to actually tell me but just poofed it with no explanation whatsoever. But I'm sitting here with someone throwing shade saying I'm not who I say I am, and that needs to be addressed. I make some of my living off my books and can't afford to have my authenticity questioned like that. Brown Owl, while you are "saying this once", why don't you also say once that I have now proven beyond all shadow of a doubt to you, by sending you an email? Which you said woulkd prove it to you, and that comment is still here so it must be ok to reference that. But again I will say this, for anyone who has questions. 1. I have not been hiding. I've been a member here since January 1, 2010. I have even financially supported this site. I have been regularly on Fetlife since 2011. I'm on plenty of other forums. My books are published and out there since early 2021. I'm not difficult to find. 2. I don't see why anyone would pretend to be me. There are a lot of things about being me that aren't great. There are a lot of things that have gone into making me that can't be imitated. I am exactly who I say I am. Oh and plus ... that photo in my avatar? That's me. lol I blurred my face, but ... come on.

I mean I didn't say what was said at all. All I said is that we had onne and I pretty much proved to you then who I was, so why you saying NOW that I didn't. Cause you got that email, huh? Ok, leave with your pride intact.

Our new one is far and above any return to that. And I know. I started the old one and am partner started on this one. And ours is open.

Well, yeah it can happen, Brown Owl. I had the site stolen from me originally. I made it originally back in 2003 - it was a breakaway from James' Bravenet forum - which was just awful - and eventually even James himself joined it and stated it was far better and he was happy we did that. One night several years ago, I logged in ... only to realize I couldn't. Penguin blocked me. Over time I figured out the whole truth to the matter. Clawdia mysteriously "died" when I went to her out of concern on how there were suddenly a lot of posts asking for money. If you'll recall, we were never given a reason for her death. She just - died. For no reason. Penguin blocked me from the site VERY soon after that. But she never took down my stories. When I was publishing, Amazon found one of my books on the site there and refused publishing until it was removed. I had to threaten Penguin with litigation. Guess what happened then? That's right - Penguin died. Now we see Danni got slammed with lots of allegations. And now, Danni died. Come on. I sent an email to the server owner address ,,, the one who was claimed to have died. Got an answer. They gave themselves up. The same way you said you got gaslighted, so did I. Clawdia kept me regularly updated. Then suddenly - nothing. And then the donations posts started to appear. I was NEVER in the loop on that. And could I have stopped her - sure, but she owned the forum. Whole thing would have gone down. And she would have blamed me. When I tried to put an end to it, we started to get the drama. I worked on that place, built it, moderated it, put blood sweat and tears into it. We never permitted anything illegal, that's pure garbage lies. And Danni took it and RAMMED it into the ground. On the one hand I want to say she deserves it and I am glad it is done. On the other I am devastated over years worth of work fricking lost. Y'all don't know if you haven't hosted a large, popular forum. As long as that place was there, I didn't want to have another forum. Why? Because I don't want to be associated with what it was turned into in the last few years. I didn't build that. With it gone, I talked Sharlin into another forum. Frankly, it will be better than the old one. This is going to be a good place. We will not allow the pallor of what happened to the old dim the new.

So 20 years ago (wow!) I started a story forum. It flourished for some time! Then the server owner went bananas and banned me from my own forum. NOW that forum is in ruins. From the ashes rises the Phoenix. My sister Sharlin and I have seen the damage and we have begun a new home for the refugees. Come on over - we can be just like ... and better than ... before!

I was ahead of the curve. They killed my account there a year or so ago. I JUST had time to sneak in and clear my earnings out before they shut me out. I am so sorry to those of you this happened to. I know how very difficult it is to see all your hard work just removed like that. And cut off from your fans.

@ValentinesStuff As I said, I don't know the details about who brought what to them. The insinuation seems to be that Terry Masters is the name that one of those two people goes under now, and that Mikey of BBW died. If they were worked on by both Mikey and this person (now known as Terry Masters), then he would have the rights to them. There have been times, I am sure you remember when we were both on ABDLStoryForum, that someone came along and had taken a story and added a bunch to it, swallowing up the old story with their own, but they had that old story word-for-word. That would be a problem to me. Jenny's Potty Training was such a story. @ValentinesStuff At any rate, as I said, my point is not to present or defend the intricacies of international copyright laws. More to the point, there are two things in view: 1. When you simply say ABDiscovery does this or that, you implicate many authors who have nothing to do with what you are talking about. Quite a bit like when a certain someone with failing popularity attempted to implicate one of my books here before because she had a snit with ABD, and was roundly told to let it drop. Which she did. 2. When you say ABDiscovery did something, you might want to make sure THEY did it. They get a book from an author who claims to have written it. It is not the publisher's fault if an author lied. Neither is it authors' faults if a publisher lies. This kind of thing tends to toss us all in a same basket, which isn't fair.

Hi. ABDiscovery is my publisher. I have 10 stories published through them. The Bents have always been fair and treated me right. The story that they are Transphobic is a lie that was started up by someone who used to be popular in the AB community and got in a snit with them over something completely unrelated. There have been rumors of unauthorized use of art. NEVER of stories. I can not say what is the case with this story; I CAN sat that the stories were supposed to be coming from a CD of old stories written by someone who died. But I can not speak to what happened from there. I did want to speak however as a character witness of the Bents, who have been unfairly characterized and had reputation assassination done to them through people misunderstanding and spreading stories they did not know the entire truth to. Thing is - you mess with someone's livelihood when you start doing that without having ever spoken to the people themselves. And by doing that, you mess with the work of all of us who have published there.

What's with the "Unknown"? That's pretty high. What would fall under it?

Hi - I'm up in Charlotte.

Ultimately it is silly for an AB or a DL to be against ANYthing trans, when you think about it. :: Giggle :: I just want to say that as a transgender myself, I have never felt unwelcome or threatened here.

I did it, but now I am confused. My thing on my profile says BB 2020. But I JUST did it a couple days ago. Shouldn't mine say 2021?

I got kicked off Patreon, unfortunately. But I do have Tumblr, Pinterest, Ko-Fi, and DeviantArt. I also have my own site and my own story forum.
