I've finished writing what I'm calling a "Prologue of My Continuation of My Summer in Pantyhose." It's a chapter by chapter summary of the 24 chapters posted by Jeremy Chandler. The intended purpose is to allow those who've read the original to refresh their memories as to what gone on up to this point.

If you haven't read the original, this probably isn't for you. Binge read "My Summer in Pantyhose" instead.

When it's over, it's over...right?

I spent some time with AI, and found that it really has a problem doing the little things. Jake has two different colored eyes, and it took me forever to get that done how I wanted. I went through, quite literally, hundreds and hundreds of images before I found my Jake. https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/104259/mister-sister-...

I've been having a bit of writers block for a good while now. Ideas seem to come and go without really take root. A friend of mine suggest that I reboot one of my character and see were the reboot takes me. At first I thought that was a crazy idea. But then I decided to go ahead and give it a good. So as of writing this I'm working on rebooting a character that showed a lot of promise but just seemed to run out of steam. So hopefully before the year is out you guys and gals would treated to a rebooted Persphone Sharbrough.

I'm looking for someone who's read "My Summer in Pantyhose," by Jeremy Chandler. I've picked up that story and written a fan-fiction completion. I've taken Jamie through the summer and ended the tale in September when Jamie's a freshman in high school.

Middlesex won the Pulitzer for fiction in 2003 and is one of those books that stayed with me long after I finished. I won't go into details so as not to spoil but I will say I think many here would enjoy it. It's one of those books that has scenes that pops into my mind often and one event in particular - the Burning of Smyrna.

Parting is such sweet sorrow...yet a party can be great fun! What a difference just one letter makes...

Anyway, I remembered that I'd promised to indicate when the different 'parts' of the new book Hope's Light had been posted, for those readers who prefer the previous posting method of many chapters at once which allowed binging the story in larger bursts. As such, yep, Part One is indeed completely posted! It completes with Chapter Four: Enemies.

I only just go back on the weekend so I hope that the story I have just posted gets into the contest - does it close tomorrow?

I know that the stories are supposed to be horror tales, but "Planter's Moon" is really only a horror to the lead character.

Please post any thoughts under the story.

My entry in the Halloween story contest is up!

https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/104039/i-am-worried-a...

Today one of the “Random Solo” recommendations was Touch Starved by Bailey Summers (her main story content page is here). We would all do well read this powerful, raw and painful story. Despite the “Adult Oriented” rating this story is absolutely NOT erotica, graphic sex or porn, but just pure emotional pain and desperation, that fortunately ends in a glimmer of hope.

Should be ready sometime this week.

The Dagger strikes!

Many members here say they are compelled to Cross dress. How many surgeries does it take. If you live as the "other" gender long enough, does one ever get accustomed to it?

Hey everyone, the paperback version of Twice removed is now live and available on Amazon. Order your copies here: Twice Removed paperback version.

there has not been an official announcement of the winners of the caption contest. I know I didnt win, but maybe there should be a shout out to the ones who did?

It was a relief to finish Charlotte Had A Boyfriend. It was a lot more work than it may seem. For many weeks, writing it was my full-time job. Seriously. I've never worked this hard on a story before. Something changed in my approach. I'm not going to quantify or explain it, except to say that my writing method or strategy or technique has gotten more defined. Easier in many ways, but it takes longer.

Well folks, the editing and proofreading of Hope's Light is going great, thanks to our very own Kimmie going (again!) above and beyond while her Inbox gets filled with updates! One proofreading pass has completed, and we're doing (well, Kimmie is doing!) the second round!!

My apologies on how long this took folks! Not to say too much, but there's been some Personal Stuff in my life that's gotten in the way of us getting this taken care of this past week.

That said, without further ado, the poll for the winner of the September AACD Caption Story Contest is now live over on the Patreon page. Anyone should be able to vote, so we hope people take the time to let us know what their favorite stories were!

I looked up from the computer when my roomie came in and closed the door behind him.
