9/25/09: Added a vignette that will be part of an upcoming story, told by a narrator who’s been trapped in a VR game by the game’s “host,” a megalomaniac who wants to be the boss of every “atom and bit on Earth, for a start,” in her own words. When the narrator decides not to be part of her takeover plans, she uses his fantasies against him, as she does to every “player” until they capitulate. This is one passage from that story. (The name is based on Anne Robinson, host of The Weakest Link.)
9/17/09: Edited This One’s for You, Bud, adding a little bit to the invisible girl’s clothing and hopefully setting up the second installment of the story.
9/15/09: Added a vignette, Immaterial Girl. I couldn’t come up with a real title, probably because there’s no real story behind it. Then again, there was no story behind Floating Wig when I first visualized the wig floating behind an office desk, so who knows? Maybe there’s a story in there somewhere…
Also, I recall a version of This One’s for You, Bud with a bit more to it. The invisible girl was wearing just a little bit more, and there was some action at the end of the story that hinted at what was to come, or would be if I ever get around to writing a sequel.
9/9/09: I finally separated Do Not Fondle the Merchandise into pages for easier reading. At some point I might get around to finishing it…
9/6/09: I just made a couple of previously private posts public: This One’s for You, Bud and Flashfic: Marla at Home.
9/5/09: I’ve been steadily copying over stories, story ideas, and conversations from my two Yahoo groups (Misterdoe’s Gallery and John Doe’s Writings). Newly posted: reposted story ideas from the Yahoo groups, Scene in Passing, Conversation: What Got You Into This (a conversation on how members became interested in invisible women). And I separated Floating Wig into pages to make it easier to read. NOTE: newly reposted stories and other items won’t necessarily show up at the top of the archives list because I’m reposting them under the date they were first posted in Yahoo or on the Geocities site.
8/31/09: I just published the first three chapters of my Plane Crash story, featuring Paulette and Havik’a in Subreality. Paulette is my own original character — my muse, really. Havik’a is another writer’s character I was given free rein to use in my writing, while Subreality is a shared story universe that’s kind of in limbo at the moment due to the untimely death of the webmistress of Subreality.com. When I get another opportunity I’ll post some links to shed some light on Subreality and on Vik’s background.
8/30/09: I just published a bunch of posts that had previously been private. I really should have kept track of the links or something, but I know for a fact that they included Watergun, An Ordinary Bus Ride, Paul Ingerson’s story To Stalk Unseen, Meeting Stacey Dash (written by Paulette Agee 
), the first three chapters of Rashida’s Story, plus some others. I should have the rest of the drafts and private posts up within the week.
8/22/09: I finally fixed and updated the links for my story Incident Report, originally written for an invisible-tickler story site called Tickle Monster Zone. I’m pretty sure that’s the last of the stories I’ve written for other people’s sites that hadn’t yet been posted to my own blogs — that particular story never made it to either of my old Bravespages or Blogspot blogs.
8/18/09: I just finished and posted a new vignette based on the Eos Chronicles story universe. My new vignette is called Meanwhile, Out on the Roads…. I was supposed to write a third scene but couldn’t come up with one — until the vignette had been posted, that is. So there will be a new section added to it in the next couple of days (8/17 or 8/18).
8/15/09: I’m still working on all aspects of this blog — making private posts public, posting drafts, getting rid of Blogger artifacts, updating links, and occasionally posting some new stuff. 
8/9/09: I’ve been going through a lot of old posts:
- Deleting links to old categories from the Blogger site;
- Posting old draft posts transferred from the Blogger post, categorized here as “intro.” One day I’ll finish them
At some point in the future I’ll repaginate the longer stories as well, so that they won’t be such long reads. But that can be a lot of work, and I want and need to finish one project before I start another. I’m working on customizing the blog’s theme as well (Cutline), which I chose because it’s supposed to be easily customizable.
7/17/09: Posted a new story, Floating Wig.
4/16/09: After some repeated hints from a fellow writer I’ve posted the long-missing Do Not Fondle the Merchandise story. I had taken it down for a rewrite but got stalled early in the process. I’m not that happy with it (and it’s still not finished) but others wanted to see it again, so here it is, for now.
12/23/08: I’ve started copying story links from my old Geocities site. I used to surf for stories all the time, and post the URLs for interesting stuff that I found. I don’t do it as often anymore, but I’m finding that many of those old links are still active. Soon I’m gonna check with the authors for their permission to post the stories here, in case the original sites go down…
8/1/08: I finally added a new page to chapter 3 of Plane Crash.
This relates to when this blog was posted at Blogspot. I decided to leave it here as a lesson for Blogger users showing what can happen over on Blogger. And a partial explanation of why this blog is now at MISTERDOE.COM instead.
Blogger’s automated spam blockers made a mistake and decided that this blog was a spam blog, and blocked my access to it for most of the day (8/1/08). I had expected to be unable to get back into it for most of the weekend, so I’m glad that at least the human checkers (the only ones they should be using, in my opinion) was quick about checking out the blog for him- or herself and correcting the needless error. But this only gives me more inspiration to get going with my plans to get my content hosted on my own space.
I may host these blogs offsite, or I may just start fresh somewhere else, but I definitely need to get my stuff away from where some mindless software program can block my access to content that isn’t doing any harm to anyone.
Someone made a comment, when I told them by email about this problem, that this is just what’s wrong with companies that grow to “evil-empire size.” He has a good point. I’d really like to talk or at least email someone to find out just what it was about this blog that the bots decided was spamlike, so I won’t have that problem again. But, of course, trying to find the person who checked out my blog would be like searching for a needle in a haystack and actually expecting to find it, let alone someone who could actually explain how the software goes about detecting a suspected spamblog.
For the most part I haven’t really had a problem with Google, but this unnerves me a bit. I was actually planning to start a business using Blogger blogs, as I’ve seen promoted all over the web, but if this is what I’d have to look forward to, then it definitely won’t be hosted on Blogspot, if I go the Blogger route at all. I already have bots telling me that my emails are blocked more often than I like, but I can’t have them getting in the way of making money…
3/21/08: Finished repaginating chapters 2 and 3 of Plane Crash to make them easier to read (shorter pages). Fixed all links to the story.
3/20/08: Posted part of chapter 3 and started repaginating Place Crash chapters 2 and 3 to make them easier to follow; took the whole story offline until the adjustments are finished.
11/26/07: Repaginated chapter one of Plane Crash. Chapter 2 repagination coming soon…
9/20/07: Reposted my last few DeviantArt posts.
6/5/07: Posted a brand new story snippet, Snippet: Middle of Nowhere. Actually I may wind up not adding much more to this one.
5/22/07: Finished posting category indexes of the stories. Actually, having both category listing AND labels is probably overkill, but at least that makes it that much easier for visitors to find the stories they’re looking for…
5/21/07: Just added an account of a dream, Invisible Woman at Work, that I first posted at DeviantArt almost two months ago.
5/18/07: I’ve finally started adding labels, at the suggestion of a fellow writer and manipper. I had started writing index pages for the various story themes, and realized that labels would just work better, even if they do require editing every single story to add the appropriate labels. The labels are still a work-in-progress, however.
5/17/07: Posted a new story idea, Snatched During a Test Drive, that might wind up being used as part of another story already in the works.
4/17/07: Posted some story ideas that for some reason were posted only as drafts; explained some terms that new readers might not quite understand; and posted a link to a FAQ on Paul Cwick’s Invisible Woman Story Archive.
4/14/07: Repaginated Watergun and added a bit to the Fembot Walk snippet, which is now posted but not quite finished yet. Also, I’ve finally started posting some invisible girl pictures here. The invisible girl photos that were posted on the old Blogspot blog will now (well, eventually…) go into their own blog.
4/12/07: Repaginated An Ordinary Bus Ride, so it wouldn’t be such a long read in one shot. Eventually I’ll be doing this with all my posted stories, as well as posting new ones in the future so that no single story requires scrolling down more than twice.
3/21/07: Repaginated Full Service.
1/27/07: Added a repost of Full Service, a story I first posted to my John Doe’s Writings Yahoo Group back in 2001.
12/29/06: Here’s a video that’s similar in approach to what I had in mind when I wrote An Ordinary Bus Ride, an only slightly embellished transcript to a vividly remembered (day)dream: http://www.dailymotion.com/visited/search/invisible/video/x2sg3_cartonhommeinvisible
Of course, he disappears from the bottom up, where the trapped-between-dimensions woman, if that’s what she was, would have disappeared into the box from the top down. But, hopefully, you get the general idea.
12/12/06: Sometime ago Chaz Hill posted a vignette in response to someone asking if any of the writers had ever had a male character become invisible along with the requisite invisible woman. I’ve reposted it here.
I’ve also added a correctly edited version of the conversation mentioned earlier about the presence of “real” invisible women in the groups, or whether any group members know any other “real” invisible women.
