Spoilers likely

Hello everyone,

I have been looking for this story for a couple of days now.

I'm sad. The Navajo Nation now appears to be the center of the Covid19 pandemic in the United States. And they don't have the medical facilities to handle it. They need help.

It took me nearly 9 months, but I wrote a book (well over 100k words). I know there are many, many authors on here who have already accomplished this, and probably did so at higher quality, but I am pretty pleased with myself right now. I wasn’t sure I could do it when I started, but I’m happy to find that I was able to finish.

There were many people who reached out to me with encouragement or explained why my story might not be for everyone (X-Men fan fiction with lots of explicit sex, violence, and a rape scene - I can see where it's a niche market).

I don't remember the author nor the title or this story.

This is what I remember though:

The protagonist is a transgender student who went to another student's house. The boy tried to sexually assault the girl. She stabbed the boy with a letter opener.

The dad of the son who got stabbed wanted her charged with murder even though it was self defense.

A new chapter of Tommy - The Trials and Tribulations of a Girl? is up for your reading enjoyment,

My writing process is a little weird. I get into these moods of depression, anxiety, and a craving for soft pretzels that will never be appeased, and the only way out is to write. Allison's Pledge was the first time I shared my frantic writing with anyone, then came Woodcrest which was a failure because honestly, I was just trying to ride the wake of Allison's Pledge. Guess the popularity was kind of a rush but in the end, most people didn't like it. So here we are in another depressive funk, a binge drinking episode, and The Interview at the center of it.

Where happened to Tuckerspawn Forum? Is it archived anywhere?

I tried to use the wayback machine to get access to some of the content but I was having trouble finding the actual content despite it indicating that it did archive it. Any suggestions to access the following areas:
Future Tuck forum
Fanfic (particularly one - “after graduation”)

Thanks in advance,
A

So last night I dreamed I was on a spaceship. It was designed a little like a sub, in that every so often there was a doorway with a door that could seal off an area if a breach occurred. I was looking for something, which has been a common theme of a lot of my dreams, by the difference in this dream was that it was clear I didn't belong, as I was always trying to keep out of the sight of the crew and passengers.

Well, since recently I've dreamed of being a movie star and a superhero, I guess I can add spy to my list of dream jobs ...

The last of my grandparents, my grandmother from my father’s side, died today.

I have noticed that often BCTS loads, the contents shows up for a fraction of a second before being wiped out to a blank page.

When I look into the page with my browsers "Inspect Element" the page is indeed nearly empty. But I KNOW I saw content flash by for that small fraction of time.

Could there be some JavaScript on the homepage that under some conditions, wipes out most of the page again?

I seldom do this, but I must, in this case give a rousing, heartfelt, recommendation to anyone who hasn't read this incredible epic!.

I just finished reading it at Sapphire's Place after three almost sleepless nights of reading, almost afraid to sleep, fearing I'd forget where I left off the night before.

Thank you Maggie for this and all your other works, so skillfully written and well told.

Greeting and Salutations everyone
I am posting an update on when the new chapter of You Are a Meany will be up. It will be this weekend. I sent it to be edited and it looks like the editing is finished. I want to say thank you to my editor for such a great and quick turnaround. Even if it takes a couple of more days it will still be quick and great turn around.

The blurb asks if Ayumi can do it again, create a J-Pop sensation with a brand new band.

Well, Melanie Brown certainly can!

Moxie, the sequel to Texas Belles is on Kindle, the story of the beautiful bass player who used to be a boy. It'll take all of her grit, determination, skills and Moxie to make a success of her new band of misfits, malcontents and rejects.

Look I'm sorry, but a girl has to eat!

So its partly because I got distracted this evening and partly because I couldn't get onto BC and now I'm too pooped to do it!

Rest assured I will instead post a new Gaby chapter tomorrow

...between paragraphs, that is.

Reading on-screen is different than reading on a page but any large block of text can be difficult to read if the eye cannot find an anchor point to return to when it reaches the end of a line.

Since HTML removes the indents at the beginning of paragraphs, the online standard has become to put a blank line between paragraphs. Or at least, a blank line every few lines (a la Maddy Bell) if the lines are short.

Science and Dan O'Neil both explain that Tuesday afternoon is the most productive time of the week. No one wants to work on Friday or Monday or any morning at all for that matter. And Thursday afternoon is taken up making plans for Friday; you can't get things done on Wednesday because that's Hump Day, for gosh sakes.

That leaves only Tuesday afternoon, you're awake and rested from the weekend, Friday is far enough away you can pretend you have plenty of time to make plans and you need room on your desk to eat your Hoagie so you might as well do some work.

Hello out there,

So I just released a new chapter of Rairy Contrary. I'm still not used to the formating here. So, for now, everything I post is going to look as is.

I've been having a really hard time writing mostly because of the pandemic. I've been really worried about my parent's wellbeing, have had to cancel Electrolysis appointments, and doing therapy on my phone is really weird.

I was able to harness these frustrated feelings and put them into this chapter.

I hope you all enjoy it,
Katherine

I wrote this earlier today in a PM to a friend:

Hi wonderful people! It's Jamie, you know, that behind the scenes part of the BCTS staff. I haven't been around much lately because I've been homeless. It's been a really rough journey for me since my car accident back in February, and things are finally figuring itself out slowly. This stupid virus has been making it really hard, especially because I am in NYC to get services now.

It's beyond my capabilities, but has anyone written or thought about writing a TG story using DUNE as a basis?

"Jessica, you were told to only bear daughters."

seems like a perfect set up for a TG story.

just a thought.

A.A

ps I'm excited for the new Dune movie.

Well I think you deserve one!

Dang, where did the evening go?

This past weekend was a good time for writing, and then I was able to spend some time doing som editing on it. So, I just published a new chapter of Tommy - The Trials and Tribulations of a Girl?

Enjoy,

Teddie

Since, I decided to resume work on Legacy of Earth, after The Fall of Kruhl, I started looking at the cover art and decided to revamp the images for the entire series (plus the universe).

You can view the full-size images (and their captions) on my website. I love doing this sort of stuff and I hope you all enjoy them :)

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a story where the protagonist meets death and I believe she wants to borrow/share his body for a period of time. Part of the plot is that, while sharing his body with death, they meet another person (named something like 'delusion' or something similar), after which he slowly changes and things around him start to decay faster.

That is all I really remember at this moment, sadly. If anyone knows which story this is from, I would greatly appreciate some help!

Thanks :)

"10 years, 12 months".

That's how long my account says I've been a member here.

I honestly dont know what I would have done if I hadn't found this place, but its unlikely I would have found the courage to transition without the support I got here.

Thank you all, for 11 wonderful years, and I'm hoping I get many more.

Has anyone else realized that this year, Cinco de Mayo falls on taco Tuesday during a pandemic named after a Mexican beer?

Anyone a little nervous?

I'm starting a story based on C.D. Rudd's webcomic, SailorSun.org, with his permission.

I'll be posting it on the BigCloset Patreon page for now, but it will be free to view, and will eventually be posted here on BC.

I found the following event and thought it might be of interest to writers and aspiring writers. There are also some additional virtual book events that will take place in May.

Hello out there,

I hope you're all keeping safe. I was looking for some opinions. I've been working with an English teacher and she has been going through my book "Adrian" and giving me suggestions. I feel that my book is looking a whole lot better. In this particular instance, I was hoping for an opinion from you all.

So I wrote this originally:

It was pretty reassuring that both the boys and the girl's rooms had stalls. At least if someone came in I was covered.

Well, it seems the power supply in my desktop decided to go kaput. And because I cheaped out and bought a refurbished one (a fact for which I am rather irritated with myself over), I can't send it in for a warranty replacement. Good news is, I have a perfectly functional laptop, which I've connected to both my monitors, mechanical keyboard and trackball (it's similar to a mouse), so I can still write while I wait for the new power supply. I don't foresee any problems getting the next part of The Fall of Kruhl up Saturday morning, but at this point I'm not making any guarantees.

While I’m at work, I’ve been thinking about the story I’m working on. I’ll come up with several good ideas, and when I get home I write them so I don’t forget. Only problem is it’s every-other chapter.

I am trying to post a blog and getting “Error 503 - backend fetch failed”.

Today I received two extortion e-mails that claimed to have proof of me visiting a pornographic site and demanded a $2000.00 bitcoin payment within 24-48 hrs, or the content and videos of me from my webcam would be shared with my contact list. They revealed an old password that was previously used as a login to a website to prove they had information from my computer and browser history. The whole letter was B*** S***.

A friend of mine received a few of the same demands over the last few days

This is a complete scam so if you receive something similar ignore it.

This has nothing to do with BCTS, stories, or writing but everyone needs to pay attention.
Intelligence has seemed to be lacking in anyone or anything having to do with government for as long as I can remember. A really long time. This is truly a short sighted, dumb, beyond comprehension "fix" that is being encouraged and helped along by my own government.
Progressive stupidity in action.

Here is a story challenge: A student (any age), upon returning to the classroom, is given the assignment to write about what they did while on social distancing.

So what does the student write?

As of 4:30PM, April 25th, in our own living room, Catherine Linda Michel and Tina Anne Marie Myers were married by a "traveling Preacher Man" who, after the brief ceremony, climbed back into his Pick up truck/buggy and hurried off to do more good works... I hope.

Looking for a Whateley story that happens just after ...

Cavalier and Skybolt pay The Don (Sebastiano Lorenz Valensuera y Ramirez) a visit and I believe that this was the cause of his downfall not just as the head of the Alpha's bit for top of the Academy

Can anybody remember the title of the story?

Just be careful what you drink.

My next piece, the "non-story" retelling of the backstory of one of my favorite book series, is just about ready. But I'd love someone to go over it, and see if I can improve it. Any takers?
