An invisible update? Oh yes. I managed to sneak quite a few things past the update stream on the main page. Of course, there is a reason for it.

A few months back - when I had been mostly active on Fictionmania - was bold enough to publish some author notes and background information to my stories. I wanted to bring this to BigCloset. Posting it as blog content would probably mean that if someone looked for it later it would be hard to find. Posting it as fiction would have appeared in the update stream. I'd imagine that could have annoyed some people.

A month back I made a mistake and notice that organizational pages don't show up in the update stream. Perfect for my purposes. Only those who look on my TBC author page will find the content. How do people know it is there? Well, I wanted to write a blog post about that ... ;P

So why do I publish this? I mean I am a starting out author who barely anyone knows. Do I have fans? I don't think so. The reason is that I hope that others - more established writers - do the same. And if you want something you should be willing to do the first step. (By the way, Tigger is currently posting a string of blog posts highlighting his writing past. Very interesting. Give it a read.)

What to expect? I have one essay up on why I write and how my writing style and method changed in the past two years. Besides that, you can find fun facts and background information to nearly every story I posted. "Natural Affection" even has a chapter by chapter commentary from me. Explaining what each chapter was supposed to accomplish and how.

For the very brave there is also something very frightening: unfinished stories. Two stories that I had invested a lot of time into, but couldn't hold my interest. I decided to cut my losses. However, since the stories aren't small and have some meat on their rips it would be a shame to just let them go to waste. I've put them up for those willing to explore a little. Just be warned: they will likely remain unfinished!

As always I'll finish my blog post with another round of story ideas. As before here a small disclaimer:
I do not claim copyright for any these story ideas as long as they are included in my blog posts and can be viewed publically!

30. Sleeping beauty redux:
The NYPD uses often a consultant. One day he is called to a place of a double homicide. A forty-something man and a woman in her early twenties are dead. The consultant quickly deducts that the woman is in fact not dead. A drug simulates it. Shortly after the consultant notices a woman in the spectators that argues with a policeman to be let through. Turns out she is the owner of an agency where young people rent out their body while under a drug that makes them appear dead. She also confirms a theory the consultant had. The woman was originally a man. One client was into men who undergo transitioning into women. After the young woman wakes up more questions arise.

31. Djinn-pocolapse:
In a world where 10 Million Djinn exist it’s awfully easy to summon one by accident. Worse. Most are of the devious kind.

32. Race For Satisfaction:
In a fantasy world with many races, one man doesn’t feel like he belongs to his own race. There is a powerful artifact from the gods that help people like him. It gives them a new race based on what they are looking for. The man switched three times before and now at the forth he transforms back to his original race. However as a woman. He realizes that the previous changes all highlighted things the woman of his own race had.

33. The Attic:
A young man is happy to be chosen as a butler for a wealthy sorceress. He is happy because now he can support his younger sisters. But arriving at the mansion is not how he imagined it would be. There are plenty of other butlers and maids. And they all have a hidden agenda. The butlers hope to charm their way into the sorceress' heart. With a marriage to her, a man would be set up for life. The maids however all compete to become the next sorceress apprentice. However, they all have one fear in common: the attic. The attic is not just a collection of dust and cobwebs. In it are plenty of old curiosities and cursed objects. Rumors about how haunted it is are well founded. If you enter it there is a good chance that you ain’t coming out again. One day the sorceress needs something from the attic. All butlers and maids hesitate. Finally our protagonist volunteers. Entering the attic he fights the allure of various objects and finds what the sorceress needed. He had to admit he didn’t found the attic that bad. Over time he needs a refuge against the harassment of the other butlers. So he starts to go into the attic just to get a quiet place. Over time he resists temptations and objects but slowly turns into a girl. (Spoiler: the attic is a testing ground for finding an apprentice)

34. World Dance 2:
A guy gets some special psychedelic shrooms from a friend. Later the day he tries them. Suddenly he passes out. Waking up he finds he traveled to the past. To the second world war. But not the one he knew of. This one is different. Fought over and with are matters of fashion and dancing. As both have magical abilities to them. Of course, females are the dominant gender. What do men know about fashion and dancing anyways?
(This might be a delicate subject and could lead to protest about the use of the particular historic area.)
