Opening Doors

That, folks, was the end of 'Closing Doors', as the last sentence carries a huge amount of freight for those who know the full extent of Mike's story. I feel it wraps up the story arc neatly, and didn't want to over-egg things. As I explained in a comment, it is the reason I chose Diane as the narrative voice, so as to bring neutrality to events that will have left Mike incoherent.

Kern - A little help for patient readers!

EAT SUMMER.jpg

Hi everyone! For you hardy souls following the Kern saga, I know the story gets pretty involved, and there are a fair number of characters, both major and minor. What with the story being posted over the course of half a year, I imagine it’s easy to forget who’s who and how they are related. So I thought at this point it might help to post my notes on Carmen’s family tree as of the summer of 2024, when the story takes place.

My biggest problem with stories posted as serials

It used to be that a good story was posted a chapter or two at a time and I got sucked into the story and invested in the characters; then without warning, the story was abandoned. That doesn't bother me so much any more. There seems to be very few of them that have had that happen.

Nothing to post this week.

I have this evening just been released from hospital this evening, after suffering another stroke. I have received the best treatment from an updated stroke unit which is being improved again. I thank them for treating me with their first class therapy including a new clot-buster drug, which hope has sorted my problem. I hope to be writing again soon,

For the past several days I have been re-reading Elsbeth’s works…….

I don’t know why, but I just started re-reading The Other Side of the Forest, and I’m not even sure how many times this makes. That of course led me to reading The Lost Queen again, which led me to reading essentially all of her work again. I lost track of how many times I have read her work a long time ago.

What does Pete look like in a football uniform now?

Pete, after a brief time pretending to be a cheerleader, is ready to go back to playing football. But has the way she wears the uniform changed? Probably not as much as she fears it might have!

Follow Pete's adventures on and off the football field on the BigCloset Patreon page a week early and see what she really looks like in a football uniform. :)

Hollow Vale Chronicles Universe

I have decided to move forward with creating a new universe based at Hollow Vale Academy. I've spent the last few days working on a Google Doc with a lot of basic info. The Doc has rules and guidelines, as well as some background and various other things. Its constantly growing.

So far its a handful of us developing stories. If anyone is interested, DM me with an idea. I'll explain all the specifics then. The ideas do have to be presented to me first so we can make sure they fit within the rules of the universe.

New story idea based on a YouTube story trend

So, I find myself listening to software narrated science fiction stories on YouTube lately, based on the concept of HFY, or "Humans, Fuck yeah" from the r/HFY subreddit, and have contemplated writing something based on the concept. As such, I am wondering how such a story might be viewed here, since it is mostly science fiction and not erotica as so much seems to be lately. Any pointers or guidance?

Too hot to write

I know I have been very slow lately and there are mostly medical reasons for that. I have to add that I do not intend to expire just yet!

The latest heatwave has not been helpful. I write in a small upstairs room originally set up as a nursery, it is approx 8 feet square with what was a built-in wardrobe at the back. This wardrobe contains almost all the computer equipment apart from the desktops I usually frequent. The room at present is 30C and the wardrobe is 33C. I intend to shut everything down once I have posted this.

A Hollow Vale Universe

Recently I published a story on site called Anything Better Than This. In the back of my mind, there was always a potential to expand it into something much larger. After thinking it over for the last couple of days, I truly do think there's a potential universe there. But I don't just want it to be a universe for me. I'd like others to take part in it as well. This isn't an official announcement for the universe, its more like testing the waters.

An Angel takes flight again...

Sitting here at nearly four in the morning and editing stories, what joy!

Hello everyone, Alyssa here, writing more bloggy things when I should be writing stories.

Fear not, Fake it 2 is on the go, but I had to take a short break for what was INTENDED to be a quick edit of my story Angel On Her Wing with the intent of passing it to my editor for publishing. Unfortunately, I realized the first half was kinda novelaesque and the second half... novel. So I had to fix it!

My upcoming post of "A Better Hand"

I'm about to post "A Better Hand" and I feel there needs to be some forewarning and explanation of the work considering it the sequel of another's work that is not readily available. The prologue follows:

Men in Petticoats -- All In The Cards Bea’s TV Station

It seems my muse has doomed me to write continuations of other peoples work. A couple of decades ago, there were lots of authors with their own websites. I was one of them, as was Bea. Bea was a prolific author and hosted a series of websites to display her work. The most recent is, “Bea’s TV Station”, which is still up.

Lets brainstorm this readers! PART 2

Thanks all for the input
We All did great so far BUT in this girl's case everyone seems to have piled on that she is a super hacker....nope I am writing her as a person that knows the web and the basics of on how to find the "dark web" not really busting into a system and reprogramming it

I kind of want her to have a power, a mutation or ???? that has a bit of "fight" in it so she can defend herself and others...hacking does not fill that bill. Besides I have 2 hackers in universe already, not mine BUT I can use them.

Buy No Foolin' by Jo Dora Webster on Kindle from DopplerPress since all sales profits go to support Big Closet Top Shelf, contributed by Jo Dora Webster.

What will Gail do when her crush, Kevin, stumbles on a device from the space pod cabinet?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Interlude

Galaxy

Oops! forgot that this was a new recording so I should introduce myself. If you are sensing this recording, then I'm guessing that you are not one of the aliens that are native to this planet they call Earth or Terra. I'm just a normal girl born on Ceti Alpha V. My real name is Glivney, but I go by Gail on Earth. I'm stranded here with my brother Linthan who goes by Leo on Earth.

Out of the multitude of items that survived in the storage locker, you would have thought that perhaps someone might have thought to bring along a couple of spare distress beacons. Unfortunately, No.

My native life form is like a pixie, but Linthan would call himself Elven. Even if Earth were not xenophobic, my people's tenets require us not to reveal our true form. We have armbands that use some kind of technology for others to perceive us as Earthlings. We had them on before we crashed so even Aunt Emma, who took us in, hasn't seen us as we are really.

I've been reading Crystal's 'I can't go home like this.'

I should say reading again. The first time must be 20 years ago when I thought it was wonderful, then the only thing that irritated me was overuse of the word 'also'.

Wrapping up

Well, I have been writing quite rapidly for a few days, and I have the bulk of the content for the book following 'Mates' ready, as well as its structure. The story order is deliberate.

'Mates' will finish properly. The next book will consist of the following, in order.

Black and White
Happiness is a Warm Hound
A Colder Dish (Neil's story conclusion part 1)
Blindside
Closing Doors (Neil's story conclusion part 2)

Writing For YouTube ???

I spend quite a lot of time watching YouTube videos. Many of them feature a stationary picture with audio narration. Fairly frequently there are errors that are easily spotted. At these times, I've said to myself "I can do better than that". There is an abundance of Crossdressing stories there.

Infrequently, I have encountered tales on YouTube that seem to be lifted right out of the pages of BCTS. I don't remember anything specific right now.

Flying?

If you could fly - especially if you could fly fast - wouldn't you take advantage of that ability? Say, by flying someplace to have one of your favorite foods every few days, or stunting around the rock features (natural bridges and such) of the US West and other regions, as well as perching on the tops of buildings and bridge towers? What else?

What problems could come from that? Such as getting in trouble with airlines and military facilities?

"Captive" by Melanie Brown

I have no idea why this happens to me. My mind keeps returning to the story in the most troubling way. I like the 3rd chapter rescue the best. I think about reading it again, often. The protagonist gets a reasonably happy outcome. Many of the best, not so much.
