Ok folks I'm off to a shaky start of the year. I do hope it gets better, I am praying for all of you may all your hopes, dreams, and wishes come true. Big hugs and cheers to my friends Wendy (OddPOV) and Katie for going forward on their journey. Much love from Jenn.

Has anyone heard from Sephrena lately. She suddenly disappeared from the site :(

Finding Jenny, the epic length conclusion of the God Bless the Child trilogy (unless I go all Douglas Adams on everyone which is highly probable) is now available at Amazon for the kindle http://www.amazon.com/Finding-Jenny-Bless-Child-ebook/dp/B00...

As always, I appreciate the support in sales, but also, if finances are tough, I can always use the page liked, the tags checked and nice, honest reviews. The book is still available on site (but it is so much easier on the kindle, I promise).

I hope you all have a healthy and happy new year!

Happy new year from the UK! ^_^

to everyone, may 2013 move everyone towards their life goals.

see you all next year!

I always love how things are assumed by people. Many think that because the news spins it one way that its true. Sadly this is not the case.

OK, so there is this one with a stunt guy that impersonates a girl and learns to fly with strap on wings. Suddenly it's gone. What happened?

Does anyone know anything about Manitoba Canada. Its going to come up for me very soon in a story and my efforts on the internet aren't doing so good for finding info for me.

Everyone is posting pictures, I'll give it a try. I am still in male mode, but this is week 3 of HRT for me. Changes from the current photo include new studs (time to train my ears don't you know) and I am mostly wearing womans jeans now, like anyone but me can tell the difference.

They finally decided to give us Christmas vacation at work, after telling us repeatedly it wasn't happening. Good enough, I needed the down time.

This is me and my boy around 2004, he is the only reason I am still here.

I can't recall the name of the story or the author, but it's about a young man who was in a motorcycle accident in the "present day" and slipped into a comma. His parents placed him into some kind of cryogenic storage thing and the doctors pulled the brain and transplanted it into the body of a young woman a couple thousand years after that accident. Any ideas on which story this is?

I have once again reluctantly gotten involved with Facebook, and have done so with much caution. If they start doing what they were doing before, I will disappear immediately. So, this morning, I signed on to see what is going on in this alternate reality, and notice that I have a half dozen friend requests from friends on BCTS.

I'm still not well, didn't get to the Hobbit last night and have spent most of today in bed. I assume this is a cold but one with teeth! I've got joint pain but no temperature.

The free give away has been a rousing success. I mean, I am floored. I have had over 600 people download God Bless the Child while it was being offered free on Kindle. I want to thank all of you for going along with me on this.

Here are some things I have learned.

1. The transgender community is really supportive of itself. I know I had people here download the story, but also people from various TG facebook pages really got behind me.

I have it in the can and ready to post, but I do not know how to HTML code my creation, and neither does my Editor. If there is a kind soul out there who does, and would be willing to help me it would be most appreciate.

Hey everyone! As you can see yes, I did miss the Christmas Contest deadline. However, that's a story in itself. When the idea first hit me of mixing The Santa Clause and truckers together, I thought of Wren. I knew she'd spent time on the road until health matters prevented it. Now bear in mind besides the usual exchange of comments I never really spoke to her, but you can sorta get to know someone here though the blogs and such.

This is typical of what seems to happen to me over the winter holiday period. I have an eeeeeeevil cold and I'm reduced to coughing, hacking and dripping everywhere. Needless to say, I can't write while I'm in this condition.

So I finally got the new chapter of Kit and Kin out, and it has taken some work to pull that off. Between a lot of work on the new story which is up to chapter 12 with 4 chapters posted already, this thing is really going wild. If you are looking for it, it is called Written In The Body and is on fanfiction.net and Archive of our own. It is seriously intense and is pretty long. Over 15k in 4 chapters is a pretty chunky story. This is going to be yet another novel written by me. Le sigh.

..... for me to give formal notice of thanks and immense gratitude to those who continued to contribute to all our pleasure even over the past few days.
Thank you so much.

everyone for reading Gabrielle Noel, since it was posted on the 25th

Starting Christmas and running until the 29th, God Bless the Child will be free on Amazon for the kindle. I still believe that this is one of the most powerful TG stories ever and would appreciate if you downloaded it, if for nothing else but to show your support and appreciation for my continuing to post stories on Big Closet. You don't need to own a kindle to buy the free book, there are free readers available for android and the PC.

It is with deep sadness and regret that I have to inform the Big Closet community that we lost another one of our members. I have just been informed that Wren Phoenix has passed away. I know she had been sick for quite some time with heart problems, but was eager to get back into the swing of things.

You will be missed, my friend.

For my fellow addicts, here's today's.

Good afternoon (at least in my time zone) and Happy Holidays.

I probably just did the bravest thing I've done in years, just by clicking on the "submit story" button. There were times in the writing of this I was literally trembling in fear. One's first story is probably the hardest, as no one knows you, or what to expect. And you, the author, have no way of knowing what the reaction is going to be.

Merry Christmas to you all and to your families, and biggest hugs from your sister in spirit :)
Mistletoe Kisses,
Diana

Merry Christmas to my BCTS family.

Merry Christmas to everyone,

I hope you find the season peaceful and uplifting.

So yesterday I get the best Christmas gift ever! As I write this he's napping in the bedroom after I fed him a huge holiday dinner.

Bonjour á  tous, je voulai simplement vous souhaite un Joyeux Noá«l.

Hello every body, I just want to wish you Merry Christmas.

I spent some time yesterday adding more pics and updating the Christmas Market pages over on my site, MaddyBell.com

Merry Christmas,Happy Solest & a Happy New Year Too All My Little & Big Sister's & Brother's On Big Closet.I'm trying my best to not have a brake down right now so I thought I write this Blog & say what I have said

Well it is that time of year again. I hope that everyone is going to have a great time this Christmas, my sympathies to those that won't

I have revised my short story Winter Journey (Click here), so if you have already read it, give it another shot. This is getting to be one of my favorites and I have enjoyed writing it and I hope you enjoy it.

This is part of a facebook note my wife just wrote to Air France:

Um,

if you are a Titans fan DON'T watch the TV.

The current score with aprox 4+ miinutes to go is 55 to ZERO. And Green Bay has the 55.

GB han't had that many points since 1983.

I was sent this link... It appealed to my warped sense of humour.. It is in English, but the Scottish variety. (Sub titles available)

can't recall much, other then it's a boy, who wants to be a girl but as the story progresses, it is found out that he had been born intersexed and at 1 or 2 the family decided he should be a boy. and his sister knew of him as a girl and the father leaves, but comes back in the end

Well, last night, we had our Christmas dinner, and it was wonderful. There was a moment, when my daughter was on one side of me, my mom on the other, my brother and sister behind, and the dog in front, and I realized just how blessed I am, that here I was, literally surrounded by love, even in the midst of my transition which gives my family fits.

Once upon a time, I created a character named Fluke and described her as "the luckiest woman alive" but I think that title really belongs to me instead.

Daniel is the artist on the webcomics I work on, Quillian and Sam Valentine. He's also a sculptor of some skill. He did these beautiful little figurines of the characters Alistair and Zook from the strip I write and draw myself, Alistair2Zook. Click on the image to go to the (partial) online archive of the strip.

Simply put, because it is bogus. It's exactly like criticizing a story for having a sex change in it. "Fresh Start" stories appeal to some people but not to all, so it is appropriate to decide that if a story has an theme or element that you do not enjoy, then you weren't the target audience for the story.

We have an enormous body of talent with all of the author's here at BCTS. A few days ago, I discovered further proof of this talent when I found this wonderful story by Rebecca Anderson: http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/title-page/4718/wild-horses-re...

I do not normally make blog posts, preferring to give kudos and the occasional comment; but after reading Wild Horses, I cannot remain silent.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas for everyone who wants it! This is just a friendly note letting everyone know I'm still more or less active, but like so many having a bit of trouble. Personal issues along with yet another computer going belly up on me has sapped my creative energies. Fortunately I managed to save most of my work, I think/hope!, but the odds of me finishing either one of the two Christmas Contest stories I'm working on are getting rather long.

I will try, but no promises.

Serious business this. Twenty years of Wiggledom.

One of these days, I'm going to get used to being seen as a woman. But, today, it still gave me a little thrill when I got referred to by a complete stranger as "she" even though I was in a pretty shapeless coat, pants, and hadn't shaved.

This is odd and I don't know why I'm the only one who has realized that its happened.
