User interface woes

I'm getting confused by the checkbox at the bottom of the new story submission page, I think.

It's labelled 'Ongoing' but it also says "Click to mark as completed story", so is that a 'yes' or a 'no'?

I never submit incomplete stories, but a tick against 'Ongoing' appears to apply a flag called 'Completion'. But there's also a way to toggle 'ongoing' when viewing the story itself, so, uh...?

“James, what are you doing here?”

The boy gave a guilty start that spoke volumes: he was caught and there was no point in lying.

“I’m doing my Physics homework, Sir,” he said.

Simon Owens sighed. “What I mean is, why are you lurking in the library when you’re supposed to be in class?”

Limerence

Limerence is a psychological term for an involuntary, obsessive state in which one is infatuated with someone, usually accompanied by delusions of or a desire for an intense romantic relationship with that person. Bad enough, but what if a crossdresser had a stalker?

That’s the theme at the heart of my latest book – new on Amazon.

“Interesting” Foreword

Way back in April 2010, BC author ‘Koalas’ shared ‘Him Lady or She Male’ on this site. It’s still here, in fact.

Or, if for some reason you would prefer to give £5.92 to a thief, you can buy it from Amazon, where the same text has appeared as Girl By Accident: TRANSGENDER TRANSFORMATION by Selena Jeffries.

Thanks for reading ‘Gamer Girl‘

It’s been great to see so many folks getting hold of a copy of ‘Gamer Girl’, over the last couple of weeks. I’ve seen feedback via e-mail, personal messages here, on Goodreads, etc... kind of chaotic. (Who knew that sharing a book for free would be so much harder than doing it for money?)

If you want to read it but don’t want to use Smashwords, there’s a downloadable .pdf version at Sugar and Spiiice.

Best wishes,

Bryony

Superhero emphasis at Transfiction wiki

I’m a contributor to the Transfiction wiki, but I have to ask... is it really a wiki about transgender fiction? Each time I look at the recent changes, virtually everything is the upload of a “superhero” type character (commonly an image) with nothing to make clear why it features on transgender fiction wiki.

Maybe I’m just the odd one out and you all love comic books.

Gamer Girl

My next is actually the product of a collaboration with the fabulous Chris Archer, author of ‘Special Inquiries’. ‘Gamer Girl’ is the story of a lad who likes to present as a female in an online computer game. It’s only meant to be an innocent bit of fun – after all, if anybody realises he’s a boy he can just sign out and never go back, right?

It soon becomes more complicated than that, with higher stakes to play for.

Alienation

Alienation
by Bryony Marsh

March 2023 story contest entry on the theme of abduction. After many years, an old friend arrives with a strange tale to tell. An engine that dies on a lonely stretch of road; a brilliant beam of light from above; being kidnapped and experimented upon by those of another species... with a transgender twist, of course!

Thank you!

A quick message to thank you for checking out ‘My Faustian Bargain’. At a time when the economy is wobbly and bills are high, it means a great deal that so many people have chosen to buy my book. Especially given the large (and growing) number of free transgender-themed stories out there. Perhaps there’s life in the writing game yet!

Best wishes,

Bryony

Trying the .mobi format

book cover
My most popular story on here (assessed by likes) is ‘If You’re Done’. You can read it right here on BigCloset, but I thought that perhaps some folks would like it have it in a format that they can download and keep. I designed some cover art, gave the story an edit (because I’m never truly happy with anything...) and a friend converted the result into the .mobi format, which I think ought to be suitable for most people with an e-reader.

The Passenger

The privileged son of a wealthy family is keen to learn why he’s never been permitted to visit the top floor of the east wing. Is there a shameful family secret? Some mad old woman kept imprisoned up there? Not exactly… but what he finds there will change his life forever.

The Secret Life of Millicent Shakspeare

William Shakspeare is a teenager in Stratford upon Avon, longing for a career on the stage. When he receives word that Anne Hathaway wishes to see him, he hurries to meet her – not least because she’s the only person outside his immediate family who knows his secret…

Summer with Aunt Ashley

 summer with Aunt Ashley

It was the summer of 1987 and I was sixteen – almost seventeen. Scrawny in those days and usually displaying at least a couple of grazes from a skateboarding mishap. The wounds might have been more important than the boarding skills: badges of honor that even an uncoordinated kid could acquire.

What might happen if the woman who lived in the flat upstairs had the power to redefine reality? This is the story of the courtship of Robert and Janet as they get to know each other and ‘edit’ the universe together. Oh... and did I mention that she likes her men girly? A science fiction story set in present-day Edinburgh with a slow-burning transgender theme.

Hi! I’m Bryony Marsh, author. I’m on a mission to address some of the criticisms levelled against the transgender fiction genre, showing that it can be innovative, thoughtful and classy. I also intend to have some fun along the way and I hope you’ll join me!

Three Steps

The ‘Tape’ is a device that acts as a gateway to an alternate universe where your birth gender was different. A man can lay down the tape, walk over it and become a woman – and learn everything that his alter-ego has experienced during her life.

A person with trans leanings would jump at the chance... right?

Well, perhaps he shouldn’t.
