And Next Tonight

(Exclusively on BigCloset TopShelf!)

“…And next tonight ‘Der 90.Geburtstag’.”

Drew grabbed the TV remote and randomly hit a button.

“Hey I was watching that!” Jules complained.

“It’s on every year.”

“So?”

“Let your sister watch it kiddo.” Mum instructed the younger sibling.

With ill grace the idiot box was returned to WDR3.

A Brief Thank You....

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I wanted to thank Erin and everyone who works to keep this site running for the new Random 5olos feature. Like several of us, I arrived here this year, well after this site was established and offering such great fiction. I felt a little overwhelmed at trying to catch up, given all the great writers who were here, some already with huge volumes of stories.

Trying to make 'Adam's own' readable?

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I've tried to fix on 'Adams Own' a little, don't know if it's noticeable though :)
Up to half chapter 3-10. I don't like that it's so phreaking big, half would be enough especially when, ah, 'editing'..

Hope you had a nice start on the new year. The sad thing is that we all lost something in the exchange, namely the old one :)

Never mind, it will all become clear as I look back at this one too.
Well, hopefully so.
Take care now.

Yor.

By Anistasia Allread

“What's the matter?” Erika's mother asked as they got into the car.

“I don't want to go through puberty.” she said. “I was told that I could take blockers to keep from growing chest hair or my voice changing.”

“Are you sure you don't want to try things out as a boy again?” her mother asked without any malice in her voice.

Space, the imposible fronteer?

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I have been working on new TG fiction, using an entirely different style, making use of the one liners that those who know me in person find amusing. I have also been searching to find a way to write about some very lurid and steamy things within the confines of my personal beliefs.

The biggest problem, however, has been to write about space travel to several other Galaxies, making it seem merely inconvient and arduous, not imposible.

And to Erin, Sephrenia, Edeyn (sp) and all the rest of you out there, you're a wonderful bunch and don't let anyone tell you differently.

The Zarakov Effect (Complete)

The cadets see their professor beam onto her dais in the newly built lecture hall just before she glances around at all the second year and a few enterprising first year academy cadets arrayed in the few hundred seats surrounding her. Her eyes taking in the few empty seats scattered here and there throughout the hall. More than she expected. The male cadets appreciating her Academy issue uniform showing her long legs and many female cadets glad she is not their age and competing for the same males whenever time allows.

I used to know my name
But I've lost control of the game
'Cause even though I set the rules
You've got me acting like a fool
When I see you I lose my cool
Lust to love
Was the last thing I was dreaming of
And now all I want is just to love
Lust turned to love

To My Family…

In the event that this has gone unnoticed, I’ve acquired a ‘family’ here. ‘Acquired’ is a weird way to describe it. I’m not sure whether I found them or they found me. However, my family away from my family is quite complete. I have a mother, sister, brother, and father all in one person. I also have a Grandmother way down under (Hi Gram). I should write her more frequently but often time is a problem. So I sneak in behind her comments simply to let her know that I am there and thinking of her.

a) being a BCTS addict,

c) Reading so many concurrent stories on BTCS...

Okay... I have to admit to a certain fascination with a few things in terms of my stories, both the comments and the ratings. The way they move and develop over time is intriguing and at times angst worthy.

For instance, you have a story like La Faccia De Maestro, which I consider the best story I have ever written. It doesn't have a lot of comments nor a very high rating. This is bothersome as I think people are passing it by and I have no idea why. Those things hint at reasons but nothing just comes out and says it.

Hi,

A while ago, I created a tool that will convert the pages here in BCTS in ePub format. Just give the URL, and it gives you an epub version of the story.

I created it because I have an OLPC XO-1, and I wanted to read BCTS stories here without too much discomfort. To read the epub e-books, I use FBReader.

Healing A Princess

Author: 

I have been trying to encourage the Author of "Healing A Princess" to seek out a publicist and make an effort to get the work in stores, making her some money. In my opinion, the story measures up favorably with any other work I have bought off the counters in Book Stores. We all know that AA has struggled financially because she has said so in this forum. I am hoping that with sufficent encouragement, you will at least give it a shot. There is of course Baen Books, Tor Books, and a host of other publishing houses.

For All Those Who Have Left Us,

We are nearly into 2010, and I hope that the new year will bring you all joy and happiness.

In the midst of our celebration of the new year, I think it behooves us to take a moment or two to remember those who are no longer with us. Whether taken from us by illness, ageing, suicide, or violence, they have gone to a much better place, and are: In "The Arms Of The Angels."

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction

Should I Write or Let it Go

I was wondering what techniques you use to determine whether or not to proceed with a story?

My preferred strategy is to bull through one story while ignoring all others that seep into my mind. However, it seems to be something that is not working currently, as I constantly jump from story to story, unsure which if any to focus upon. Do many people get others to look at early stages of a story and obtain feedback as to the direction the story appears to be heading?
