Author: 

I have been around this site almost from the beginning. Sephrena (hope I got the spelling right), sent me a PM to invite me over. I "think" it was around 2005 or 2007, don't really know. My first story here shows 2008.

I am writing this blog to see how others do their writing.
I write on a desktop computer with keyboard elevator. It used to be that PAIN ! was my way of life and I took lots of prescription opiate drugs back then. Nowadays, I rarely take any drugs at all and since I don't work anymore, I hurt less.

Mein Gott, was für Ein Auto

While taking a break from a story I am working on I saw a photo of a 2025 Corvette Z..... something. 1000 hp, twin turbo V8, claims very good mileage if the driver keeps the foot out. 233 mph. Performance suspiciously like an Audi R8 which they stopped making. The driver of this beast MUST be a very masculine woman or perhaps TG ????

This must be edited into the new story !!!!

Transgender Athlete Ban

Caution: 

Blog About: 

Author: 

Just reading in the News on KOIN, a CBS affiliated station. It seems that some Oregon politicians are in favor of banning MtF transgender athletes. In this case, I hope that common sense stops laying facedown in a mud filled fox hole.

I'm not a Medical Professional. Over the years my experience has me believing that there could be a workable solution. If a prepubescent male loses the testosterone from their Gonads (Balls) and gets on a suitable source of Estrogen, then perhaps he, now she, could compete in girls sports.

Looking For A Story

The Protagonist does online investigations for a fee until "they" graduate college. They found a remote cabin in the Rockies and stayed there to do the investigations. They go into town for groceries at times and eventually go to a family gathering where "gramps" offers him the ranch.

I hope this is enough

Thank you all so much.

Struggling With Explicit Story

I have been working on a rather kinky story that is not TG, and then I realized that the protagonist is probably a pre-pubescent female. This crosses legal boundaries, I think, so until I rewrite it, the story is just not happening in spite of the fact that the offender gets killed....

TG But Not Sexually Attracted

Working on a new story to be released, um, sometime. Along the way, working things out for various characters, suddenly it is obvious that I really am "TG", but not sexually attracted to anyone. THANK THE CREATOR !!!!!!!

That is a rather profound realization. Many years ago others told me what I was, and now I realize they did not know much if anything. This admission comes after having sex change surgery years ago and living as a woman.

Remember WordPerfect?

At one point, back in the late 1970s (????) I was using WordPerfect, and then moved to MS Symphony for a while... I don't remember exactly but somewhere along the line Word was split off of Windows...

I just tried to look at what version of Windows I have (11) I think, but that dumped me into a Gmail killer routine.

Looking for a story

The story is Science Fiction dealing with gender change brought on by some sort of ray gun. I thought that Anon Alsop had written it but I seem to be wrong. The ray gun not only changes a male to a female but makes her pregnant.

An officer on a military space ship is transformed by another officer's daughter who is jealous and vengeful of him. He, now a she, arrives on a distant planet, buck naked. She eventually makes some crude clothing from animal furs and has the baby. She lives in a crude cave.

Looking for an old story. Young man is selected by a magician to be his apprentice. He is told to 'be prepared' for a quest. He ends up as a female and joins a circus to find a ring. I do not think it was ever completed.

My Darling Honey - Theme

Please take the time to listen to Tresenella's newest single, My Darling Honey. The theme for our collective works about a bunch of gay and trans bugs living their lives. She does unbelievable work on the art for all of my stories, it'd mean the world to me if you supported her other music too.

You can listen basically everywhere on your preferred store.

I was going through the Author Directory the other day and I noticed several no longer have any content for them, when there was before. Like StacyInLove for example. Did these Authors request removal and if so are they now up for sale somewhere else or gone for good.

Helping Doppler Press rise

Doppler Press has had some nice success to start off. Heather O'Malley's 300 Rains, Lana Lee's Suit Yourself and Sue Brown's Soccer Girl have all hit best seller status. Katie Leone just published Worth Fighting For and that is doing okay for us too. But there are things that the Big Closet community can do to really help not only increase our visibility on Amazon, but drive traffic (more readers for all our authors and perhaps a few new authors to post stories to boot) to the site.

The Gowns - A dream's fulfillment

At Drea's suggestion from JessicaC

Jay had a way years earlier kissed Billy as they were wrestling as boys often do but without the kiss.

"What did you do that for, yuck" Billy asked?

"You're the one who said best friends were way better than making over girls who don't understand," replied Jay.

It was truer in Billy's mind than Jay knew. Billy was at least a year and a half older than Jay. He knew his affection for this tender boy was unusual and not understood by many. Jay was ten then and in fourth grade and Billy was in sixth.

New DarkRealms Resource

Back in the early days of The DarkRealms Universe (when we'd only been introduced to a couple of vampires), I sensed that it had the potential to expand and introduce us to Lots of Characters. So, rather than attempting to write a story (which knowing my writing speed you'd probably see sometime never!), I decided to create a Wiki to hold information on the people, places and events connected with Ravencrest.

So here it is: The DarkRealms Universe Wiki.

I love reading the stories but what happened, when?
Sometimes the characters are talking about something that happened in another
