I only recently stumbled across From Then On Forth and made my way to the forums to find out what caused the long hiatus. Having poked around a little, I thought I should introduce myself. I am TS and attempted to transition in 1998. Sadly, I had very little support, a temp job and no place stable to live. I was forced to stop hormones and therepy when the little I had all fell apart. I narrowly avoided ending up on the streets, but a desperate moment with a knife landed me in the county clinic. When I got out, my sister took me in for a while, I found a job and stayed with my brother for a while... and just when I thought I could restart transition, it all fell apart again!

Like Captain Jack Sparrow, I seem to have no manner of luck! Every time I manage to struggle to my knees, life finds a way to knock me down and stomp on me! Either that, or I am so bad at being a man I litterly cannot function as one in society!

Still, I know who I really am, and I am true to myself. Not having the right body is a horrible thing, but by itself has yet to actually kill me and I've held onto the threads of my sanity well enough to avoid killing myself. I am an artist and writer--definately the starving variety, since I've never really found my niche. I was toying with the idea of doing a web comic, but knowing myself I knew it'd end up being a transgender themed comic... so I checked to see if there were any already out there...

Um. Yeah. Lots. Damn. So, I am letting those plans simmer for a bit and exploring the things I've found while I was checking--this fine little forum included!

I have Ranma 1/2 fanfiction posted at Fanfiction.Net and some art posted at DeviantART, and when I figure out how, I'll post some links for those of you who are curious. The art and writing sort of tells a lot about me, I imagine.

Hi! Thanks for welcoming me to your forum! True, it may be Liz's in truth, but, you know, we make our homes where we find them!

I am equally sad to find another who has shared the burden of walking the path not chosen, and yet... may we walk it with pride! It is a difficult think to keep moving forward when every step seems to take us further and further away from our hopes and dreams.

It also takes strength to cry...

I'm going to take a look at your myspace and perhaps this is the nudge it'll take to get me to start a myspace of my own.

I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Oooo... another victi--*coughcough* I mean "reader!" Yay! I'm glad you liked it? I'm surprised you made it all the way through to Vol. 5 so quickly! Sadly, it's slow updating these days... between work and school I don't have a lot of time for fanfiction. Still, I ain't givin' up on it yet!
