help me find a story

A while ago I read a story - I THINK it was in the MORFS universe, but I'm not sure, where a boy in a group that I think called themselves something like 'the invisibles' or something transforms into a super tall beautiful bombshell. She ends up joining the football team as well, I enjoyed it but I can't find it again, anyone able to help?

Current Events

Editors warn book writers not to include current events in works of fiction in progress, because by the time the work is finished the events will likely no longer be current. I am therefore not including anything about pandemics in the Masks story I'm working on. However, I planned months ago to have events in the story which lead to demonstrations against politician and police actions and inaction and those will still be there. There will also be at least one riot. However, all these will be due to events in the story.

Doomed to be a Fan-Fiction author?

I've been re-reading my stuff, and realized some of my best work takes place in someone else's sandbox. My Mercy story, my Phoenix story, both (In my humble opinion) really good stories with genuine feels in them.

Now, I'm not sure what this means for me going forward. Can I take something from those stories, and put them into a unique setting, or am I doomed to only be able to do good work inside someone else's universe ?

Please Help Me!

John Stockton was an excellent basketball player.

He was NOT a prolific scorer.

By NBA standards he was far too small and did not get a tremendous number of rebounds.

What he did, better than any other person who played professional basketball, was hand out assists.

An “assist” is a pass that leads directly to that player scoring a basket.

Stockton made nearly 16,000 assists during his career, which is almost 4,000 more than the next best player’s assist total.

I need you to give me an assist. Please!

Iconia Continuum

Last week, about this time, I posted a web link for a story that my son and I wrote back in 2014, called The Birth of Iconia. Today, I posted the link for part 2, The Rise of Iconia.
Next week, I plan on posting the link for part 3, The Fall of Iconia. When we posted Birth, it came out much better than Rise, and especially Fall. My son took off to work in the canneries in Alaska, and I ended up discussing things over the phone with him. Not the way to finish a story or 2.

Woman in the Corner Office

Som readers have mentioned how they thought the story was close to ending. In a way they are correct. Though I didn't say it at the time Part 24 is the end of Book 1. Yes there will be a Book 2. There is a lot more story to tell.

On July 10th I will start posting Book 2. At the same time Book 1 will be removed for publication on Amazon. It will not be available on KU.

need someone to help with an idea

okey day so!

I play a lot of SMITE, for those who don't know it's a game where the gods - and more recently, fictional/legendary figures from history and fiction - fight it out. This has inspired me to make a story. The idea is that the ancient gods and demons were shattered in a great war eons ago, but fragments of their souls and power have flitted amongst the populace, dormant.

The Hell of Solitude.

I didn't know it, didn't realize, was unaware that perhaps the majority of my stories include the protagonist being romanced by a strong, commanding man who is handsome, strong, and regal beyond all reasonability. In the reality of my own life, I am often frightened of men I encounter to the point of paralysis. Once in a while, a man will be gentle and shepherd like with me, and a flip occurs. I am left completely stricken with the need to be obedient and held affectionately, not allowed to flee in terror. Those encounters are in my dreams and upon awakening, bereft sadness floods over me.

The Power of the Pen

I lived in Bismarck, ND for ten years. Generally, all of my thirties.

One of the local attractions was the blockhouses at Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park. https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g49882-d...

I liked these reproductions so much that I built a one-third replica in my backyard as a playhouse for my boys who were six and ten at the time. The Civilian Conservation Corp built these repros in 1934.

Wayward Update

Sadly there probably will be no Wayward update this week. What with the sweltering heat and crap, I've fallen a bit behind. I've only been able to write in the morning when its cooler. Its a pain in the ass when you don't have an AC :(. So hopefully I can get a few more chapters written up again before posting Ch.4. I'll update as I make progress, probably on Discord :)

Posting Help

Is there a list of color codes that can be used on this site? I have need to use two different colors but when I try using the html codes for color they won't change and I noticed that an abbreviated version is used here. I can't find anything to help me figure that out. Also what font is the default for stories as I am thinking of using it instead of what I do when I write.
Thanks

I've Got Your Number

Those of us who have been with Big Closet for over two decades have seen a lot of change. (I know my profile says I’ve only been here fifteen years, but that is because I left for a year when a reader said she was going to commit suicide because one of my stories made her feel so badly abut her life. She said the loving family I depicted in one of my stories was in stark contrast to hers.)

Of Shoes and ships and sealing wax

Okay. . .there was a huge vote for LGBT rights in the Supreme Court today. Much to the surprise of some, including me, the conservative packed court voted 6-3 to acknowledge gay rights.

I’m doing my happy dance.

There’s a blog about this that has drawn some comments. I would consider most of the people who have commented to be nice people I’ve enjoyed speaking with for years. Yet. . ..

I’ve left little doubt where I stand on most issues. I’m a liberal.

Yet. . .if Erin sees fit to take down that other blog, I’m not going to be upset.

PayPal Problems.

Hello out there,

It's me again, and do I have a story for you.

So two weeks ago I got my stimulus check and was really excited to finally have the cash to be able to get my book edited.

I remembered that PayPal had a check cashing service that puts the money directly into your account. I'm excited so I log into the app click the cash check option, take pictures of my check, and select the free same-day option. <----(this comes in to play later)

About 20 minutes later the transaction comes back as declined.

I've given myself a project

Well I've given myself a project.

I was making another story in my "Superiors" universe (Which I used to call the "E-Girl universe") and went looking at "The Saga of E-girl for some details, and realized that I'd changed a few things in the universe other than the name. Added to that is the fact that "The saga of E-girl" was the very first story I made here, and I'd like to think I'm a slightly better author now, and I think what I need to do is totally revamp it.

Wish me luck ...

Rainbow Space Magic

So, next weekend I'm taking part in a free online Queer Literature convention called Rainbow Space Magic . It is a lot of Queer authors and varying styles of writing but it looks fun. There are author readings and panel discussions which should be nice. If you want to show up and listen to stories and people talk about writing, follow the link. I'm going to be reading 300 Rains and pushing it. Enjoy

Question for those following my story

As I can't sleep I thought I would get started on the next chapter. But something came to mind so I am going to let you decide. Since Susan has been given this gift of eloquence on speaking French and Gaelic Would you rather see:

A: If she is speaking in either use italics to represent that?

or

B: The actual language with translation?

Sam and Del -2- "I'm in Trouble Now" on Patreon

"Is that short for Samantha?" the policewoman asked while writing on her tablet.

I stared at her. "No, it's short for Samson." I might have put the teensiest bit of snark in my voice.

Sam and Del 2 is up on Patreon now for Patron members, it will be available for everyone on Monday.

Too long ... too short ... just right?

So I was wondering if perhaps I make my tales too long. I've always heard the axiom that a story should be only as long as it needs to be, but I find myself incapable of weaving chapters of less than 4,000 words. Sometimes I'll be done with a chapter of my story and realize that I've managed to throw almost 9,000 words at it. Then I go through and cut what I think is unnecessary. However, it still ends up being a lengthy piece.

I want to keep people entertained with vivid imagery and description, but I don't the audience to get bored with all the prose.
