The Equinox has passed, the sun is out and things are starting to green!

here in Brizz, just ahead of the Equinox and in time for Mothers Day!

Has anybody heard from Snowfall recently? I know she did some posting with Wolfjess, but I was hoping to see a story from her alone. She had said once she was working on a story of her own. I have not seen anything by her alone since Late Night Princess.

Sorry to those expecting an update to my fanfic but it seems a story idea came to mind for the abduction contest. Haida's Travels will resume next week at the latest on the same day. I can't give any more promise beyond that due to real life things going on right now. I only had enough time for either an entry for my fanfic and miss the contest deadline or get the story idea written down while it's still fresh.

Again, I apologize to those expecting the original update for Haida's Travels today.

Hey, everyone,

One of the best features of Big Closet is the ignore list.

Just started re-reading "16 Feet of Steel" by Bailey Summers. The Author is tough to read but an excellent storyteller.

I wonder what has happened to them?

or maybe i'm just being a lazy b#@%$!

Can Pete face a situation he didn't want to think about?

much of the country has woken to snow!

That's right folks, as of... well, a few hours ago, depending on your time zone, the "Abducted!" story contest is open for entries!

Any stories you write for the contest, please use the "2023-3 March - Abducted! Contest" tag under the "contests" header during posting.

As a reminder, the contest is accepting entries from now until midnight-ish PST on March 20th.

As I sit in this hotel room, I have come to the decision to try and work on something as there is very little I can do with my house at this time. The entire second floor needs to be gutted and rebuilt and that is a bit out of my area of expertise

Last year I wrote a story about a trans woman helping a man with a yearning to be a woman. He was married the whole 9 yards, but he had secretly always wanted to be a woman.

Part one on here did well. 152 kudos. Honestly, I do pigeonhole the sites I post on.

I'm a few thousand words into this story, which is about an adventure Aaron (Malak) LaBelle had in northern Germany in WWII. I know the plot; it's just a matter of filling things in.

I left a bunch of flyers for Masks 18 (the latest one out through Doppler) at the Frankfort AnimeCon yesterday. There may or may not be an increase in sales following this. We'll see. The con was literally just on the other side of the river from my home.

Someone using chatGPT got it to write a sissy maid story. It was posted on Fictionmania today. It is a little bland but that may be due to the tiny amount of direction it was given.

Here is a sample.

"Me" is the direction given to chapGPT

Me; Adrian decides to live as his wifes maid and asks her to take him to
buy a uniform. She thinks this is an excellent idea and is encouraging

People come to Big Closet for various reasons. Simply put -- some are readers and others are writers. . .some are both.

But beyond that distinction are the needs people seek to fulfill.

Entertainment – BC is a great place to be entertained. Readers can be amused by a dozen different TG genres. Writers can find readers and be entertained by their feedback. The BC library is vast. The quality of the writing is surprisingly good.

I think i'm losing it!

Just another of the "Missing Authors" type blog. After seeing the blog about Elsbeth a few days ago, it got me feeing wistful and missing a lot of the authors from the past. For instance, I had the chance to be in contact with Genni Smith via email, and even telephone once before the end. Holly I only emailed a couple of times for writing help, The others? Never got the chance to let them know directly how much their writing affected me. Arecee, Marina, Maggie (OMG Such a great and prolific author), Bob Arnold, Stanman even. Trying to think of others, CrazyPaganGurl?

well it was a hard ride today!

I decided to do a simple Copy/Paste to Word of each of my stories, and print them all. I'm not sure where I will go from there. I don't have a pressing reason for doing this, though I suspect that one or more of my Electronic Hard Drives is on the verge or has packed it in. In Big Closet Top Shelf, it 'looks' like I can copy, but I don't seem able to paste these files, or any of them to my Word. I don't know what it would cost to have it all bound, and I have no idea what page size I would use. I suspect that 9 x 5 3/4 would be nice eventually but for now I will likely just do 8 1/2 x 11.

I posted my Story "It Takes a Village" on Fictionmania recently and I received the following comments from a reader, Eva:

300+ Up on BCTS

I had thought to announce that last month was marked by my 300th story on Big Closet Top Shelf but it appears that I may have already passed that mark long ago. I will explain the confusion later.

I received a nice message from Dot before the year turned commending me on the variety of my stories, and that is what I am trying to achieve. This is despite the fact that I confine myself to stories that are real (no magic or fantastical sex change) and in the main involve a change where the subject is (at least at first) unwilling.

The way of Water. Pretty good in the theater, but no 3D. It was hard for me to recognize the evil Colonel. I will try to avoid the Theater in the future. The Internet should be fine. Apparently there are two or three more episodes.

I was wondering what to read this afternoon when one of my sons happened to show me a miniature figure he had just finished painting. He purchased a new game just after Christmas, and he has been painting the figurines that make up the playing pieces. He is very good; a skill which I am proud to say he inherited from me.

I spent many an hour working with him and one of his brothers painting Warhammer 40K figurines and vehicles, and showing him the modeling skills I developed through my childhood and later in engineering classes.
