It's been over a year? Where did the time fly? I owe huge apologies to all the authors who wrote in my universes and whose stories I promised to post - long ago! This update adds lots of stories - I lost count!


February 2, 2002



Once again, events got away from me, so this is LONG overdue! I've added 9 stories! (That's how far behind I was!)


August 9



Sheesh, it's been a while! I've now got a guestbook, and I added over a dozen new captioned pictures, as well as a new MAU tale. Also, I caught up on some BB tales that hadn't been posted for a LONG time (humble apologies to the authors!)


February 4



Got a new experiment - an Add a Caption page for Bikini Beach. Give it a try, and please report any errors you might find.


January 15



Happy New Year. 4 new tales, and all are Bikini Beach. One by Ellie Dauber, one by Joan Banks, one by Steve Zink, and the last by nyself. Enjoy!


November 23



Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. I've just completed an update, and added 4 tales. The first 3 are Bikini Beach tales - 2 by myself and one outstanding story by Tigger. The 4th is a non-BB tale I wrote. Enjoy!


October 15



Well, my muse seems to have made a comeback. I'm recovering from the surgery, and I felt like writing again. So here are the results. I've added two tales by myself, one by Jezzi Belle Steward, and a couple of images by Radioactive Loner. Enjoy!


September 19



After a (very) long hiatus, a new batch added to the site! The stories are old, but since this is the first update in a long time.... Two by JRD, one by JDG, one by Caleb Jones, two by Radioactive Loner, a short Elrod tale, a tale by Eric which refers to BB, one by Random, and a final tale by Paul G Jutras. Also, an Archie BB tale by Jezzi. Enjoy.


June 28



I've just added 3 new Bikini Beach tales: One each by Ellie Dauber Radioactive Loner written as 'get-well' stories while I was ailing, and a prize story for Radioactive Loner for his entry in my contest. Also new is a Bikini Beach captioned image by Lorna.


June 10



I've just added 4 new Bikini Beach tales: One by Ellie Dauber, one by Webster, one by Jezzi, and the fourth is a collaborative effort by Ellie Dauber and ElrodW (That's me!). I've also added a new captioned image by Radioactive Loner.
Work on the contest prize stories is going slow, but it is progressing. I've had my hands full with family matters since a family member had surgery; I should be back in the swing of things in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, before then I'll have at least one of the contest prize tales done!


May 28



The Bikini Beach story contest is over, and the winners are listed on the Contest2 page. I added 2 new Bikini Beach images by Lorna. I added 3 new Bikini Beach tales - one by me, one by Bad Irving, and the final one by Paul Jutras. Check them out!


May 14



I added Webster's entry to the BB Contest. Also new are 3 images: 2 by Radioactive Loner, and one by me (my first!). Finally, I added another Elrod original BB tale.

A new Bikini Beach tale - by JRD. Bash and Breezy each contributed a new Bikini Beach captioned image. And I've replaced Roy Del Frink's story with an updated version.



April 30



I've updated the site with 4 new Bikini Beach tales - 2 by Bashful, one by Radioactive Loner and Webster, and one by Roy Del Frink. Except for Bash's long tale, they are entered into the contest.


April 15



Ellie Dauber has contributed another fabulous Bikini Beach story. If you haven't read her tale, you really, really should! I'm convinced Ellie dreams of Bikini Beach, so fantastic are her descriptions of the park and rides and staff!!


Elrod's 2nd story contest is now underway. The theme this time - Bikini Beach! (of course:) 30K size limit, entry deadline is May 15. First and second prizes are custom stories by ElrodW. Enter early, enter often!

March 5



I just added Ellie Dauber's enchanting tale to the Bikini Beach collection; stop by and give it a read.
Also, someone suggested adding a page about the staff of Bikini Beach. It's now on-line. Stop by and meet them!


February 27



3 new Bikini Beach stories are on-line - including the prize story starring Julie (and Bashful).

Visit the Bikini Beach page to read the new tales.

February 10



3 new Bikini Beach stories are on-line - one by Bashful, one by Julie, and the third by JDG.

The story contest is over, and I did the judging. For BOTH entries. Thanks to both authors for their works; they are on a special page (Story Contest). And the winner is (drum roll, please...)

Julie, with "Bikini Beach: The Bet"

For her prize, Julie gets to specify some high-level details of a custom Bikini Beach story starring her (and anyone else she might like to take with her), and I'll write the story.
Julie has an accompanying BB Captioned Photo - visit the BB Pictures page to see it.


January 29



I've added 3 more Bikini Beach stories. Sorry that these are a bit late after posting, but I've been under the weather and only now have enough energy to update the site.

Also, I've been working on another story, and I got stuck. This story is set mostly inside the park, so I needed to know more about how the park was laid out. Out of this came some visits to water park websites, a bit of thought, and I've started to write up the brochure for Bikini Beach. Soon to come is a map. My goal is a printable brochure, just like you'd get at a real water park.

In other news, Bash did up a 'Lifetime Pass' for Bikini Beach. Great work, as usual Bash!


January 15



Another Bikini Beach story by Bashful. This one has a fabulous plot twist at the end - you really have to read it!


My latest story is also here - a break from Bikini Beach. But don't worry - I've got a lot more BB stories planned!


January 9



The first non-Elrod Bikini Beach story is now on the site. It's an excellent story by Bashful. Check it out! It also has an accompanying captioned picture.


January 8



I've completed and published my hardest tale - a love story modeled on a long-lost love and things that might have been. It was hard mostly because of how close it is to my heart. Enjoy.


I've rearranged the story links, including the date first published and newest stories first. In most cases, the date of first publication is the date the story appeared in Fictionmania.


Thanks to Femur for the Bikini Beach logo! It looks great!


Announcing the first ever Elrod's Story Contest!


Elrod has magnanimously decided to host a TG story contest. Here are the details:


The Bikini Beach captioned pix site is open and waiting for your submissions.


Two new Bikini Beach stories have been posted January 8. The total is now 11 stories, with more to come! The really good news is that other authors are inquiring about the universe and appear to be writing stories set at our favorite beach!
