Think about what you believe characterizes a Bru story. Now forget that. This story is not anything like that. For one thing it’s > 22 000 words long.

I will post it within the next few days when I have looked at the feed-back that Jill (Angela Rasch) very kindly has given me.

Otherwise it’s really Sephrena that you have to thank (blame?) for me finally completing this story.

I needed to get out of the view from the hospital.

A big thanks to everyone who entered the contest: we got some fantastic stories submitted, and we appreciate every one of you.

Some time over the next couple of days we will be posting a poll on the BCTS Patreon for voting on people's favorite caption story. That poll will run until the end of the month, and we will announce the winners in early October (2024)!

I didn't post an episode of Bike last night, so who posted episode 41?

The AACD Caption Story Contest officially ends Saturday! We've already gotten some great entries but we'd love to see even more!

The picture didn't load when I added the story. I added it in now.
Thanks

I don't read a lot of fiction these days. Neither do I always think things through. The Masks series was originally written in response to the first Incredibles movie. They were intended for the entertainment of myself and other members of the Transformation Stories Archives. If I had realized it would become a commercial product I'd have called it something besides Masks, which is too generic.

Likewise, I didn't realize there was already a series titled "Angel" on BCTS or I would have lumped together my "Angel of..." stories under another title.

Does anyone know how to get a hold of Jeremy Chandler. I see he posted here in February this year. I have an email address for him, but just now I sent an email to it and it bounced before I could even look at my next email.

I talked with him a couple of years ago about the possibility of contributing a chapter or two to "My Summer in Pantyhose" when he was having trouble moving on with the story, but at that time, I couldn't wrap my head around the storyline well enough to do so.

Here is my latest!
All thanks are due to Joyce and the team at Doppler Press, not the least for Joyce's contribution to the story from the collection that I posted today as a teaser - https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/103687/speak-now

For the last three months, Taylor Swift has been playing in my car. I just don't get tired of her. I mainly play 1989 and Tortured Poets.

Two of my favorite songs are Karma and Bad Blood. Both are about karma.

I believe quite strongly in karma. Back when I still owned and operated businesses and felt like I needed a dose of good karma, I would make a donation to BC.

The number of times good things occurred shortly after a donation was amazing.

I have come to realize that being the first person to enter a contest has a drawback - after a bit, the story gets lost in the shuffle of all the new ones put out.

so unless you deliberately seek it out, you wont see it, and it probably wont get any more comments or kudos.

ah, well.

I am just letting people know that I have lodged my entry and I think it is the first one.
Being not content with my last adventure doing the silk road by road and rail east to west, I am off again soon and my not be back until late October, so I am getting in now, although Christmas still seems a long way off!

I dunno, but it seems most of those i have left are essentially digital.

What with all the recent talk about writer's block, I have posted a story about a helpful publisher sending around the solution.

Perhaps Doppler needs to consider recruiting this kind of helper?

I’m wearing a bikini, for God’s sake. A bikini! Can you imagine?

many of you may know of my love for statistics, being a maths graduate and all. Earlier today I ran the statistics for my stories again (a fairly time-consuming process but usually done in well under half an hour). What's interesting is comparing them to the last time I did the stats, which was May 13 2023.

In that time (17 months and 13 days) I've only posted 12 additional chapters (amusingly, I have sixteen in my backlog right now*) increasing from 258 to 270. However, on my existing chapters:

of a pauper writer!

I've just posted a (very) short piece on Patreon for those that follow me there. It's my first bit of fiction writing for months, its the intro to what could be a longer, stand alone tale.

Broke. We have $80 in business accounts and bills due with about $1000 due personally (mobile home registration).

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks to everyone who has sent money. We really depend on you, more than you know. :)
