I just wanted to let everyone know that I've just posted a new short story, Legends. If you've already read it since I posted it, I have just revised it (fixed the typos, hopefully all of them, and added some extra bits to the story). I want to add that the story is a mix of mystery, a puzzle of the past, and a hodgepodge mixture of science fiction, magic, mythology, gods and the continuation of a long-standing vendetta. Creating the main character's voice and how he tells his story was hard and--in the end--very satisfying.

I'm hoping for some completed book recommendations. I've read and enjoyed Daring Diane, Maddy Bell and Karin Bishop.

I don't like forced sissification or humiliation. I'd also prefer longer stories.
I've found a few authors on the site that I enjoy but usually the story is still ongoing...

Any recs are welcome. If there are already posts that ask similar questions, please link them in.

Some of you might know that Crazypagangurl (aka Tiffany) had been working with me on a pathfinder story. I intend that when it's finished, the story will be dedicated to her.

I hope that's okay ...

I’m looking for a story about a were wolf where the father was a blacksmith who made custom knives..... wish I could remember more. I think it’s set on the west cost of the US but I am not really sure. TIA.

Found wolfjess7, Her electronics decide to do an illegal and savage strike just before Thanksgiving.
She'll be back as soon as they agree to come back to work.

I'm really sorry to do a double post, but I just heard back from the Toronto PD, and Crazypagangurl, aka Tiffani passed away Nov. 15.

I'm ... gonna go cry now ...

Do anybody have any news about WolfJess, she didn't post anything since the last Racing Angels (2018/11/18) two weeks ago?

Peace and Love

I blog here again, because I hope someone can help us. Our friend who is know here under her nick crazypagangurl has gone missing. She suddenly didn't appear like she always did in our chat and when she missed the fridays D&D session, we started worring. That was 4 weeks ago. Since that time Dottie tried to call her numerous times, but only got to the answering machine.
We know her computer is online but that's about it. Unfortunately she doesn't live near anyone of us.

If anyone knows anything, please contact me or Dottie or Arwens Tears.

I finally completed the mermaid floor to the shower in my new apartment (Ground floor extension to my house.)

The tiles took 10 weeks to cut and lay.

It was strictly a labour of love for mine own delight but would be impossible to do on a commercial basis.

Today, I listened to an interview on radio of the new president of planned parenthood.

My ears perked up when she spoke of their efforts to service the trans community.

Has anyone had experience with this?

I've been doing a lot of thinking about how to develop a realistic female character. In the press, movies and TV, their all exaggerated so of little value to me. Besides, in real life, what woman runs around with her butt pushed out and her tits threatening to escape their confinement?

Church or the Mosque are rotten places to observe the natural woman, so I've sat in shopping centers to glean what I could.

After a 4 month hiatus, I decided to try writing and posting again. I've been frequenting the site every day almost as a reader and decided I should really get back on the horse. So first I'm going to try mining my back log to see what I can do. First, I posted a never posted chapter of Spectacular, the latest story I was working on. I never posted it before because its as far as I ever got with that story. Frankly, I NEED help trying to finish it.

Yeah, you read that right. I planned to post the remaining part of the story in five different installments, but, what the hell, I decided to suprise everyone and post it all in one fell swoop (totalling just under 10,000 words). So let's get this show on the road, shall we?

Did Indigo Knight act in time to save Ashira? Will Sapphira and Amy have their happy ending? What has become of poor Awe and Hailey? All these questions will be answered and more. Come on over to my site for the conclussion to this epic tale.

new little song parody up!

I went to a local pool today, and they have a "lazy river". It was really nice and kind of fun to let the current take me along, but there was always the security in knowing that if I wasnt happy with where I was going all I had to do was stand up. Gee, there might be something profound in that, dont you think?

Can't remember if bullying is involved due to this, but reading between the lines it is possible

Hi Everyone, Karen is still in hospital, having had a few problems which I'll leave to her if she wants to share with you (medical confidentiality you know). She's hoping to be out in three weeks and start posting again. She also sends her thanks to everyone who has sent their best wishes for her recovery.

Today was a good day.
Then i woke up to leftovers.

I just got out of bed this Thankgiving morning. We've had a busy week, and today will be no exception. It would be easy to complain about all the work and all the fuss, the traffic everything else that this season brings. But you know, I'm here in a warm house that I co-own with the bank; out front there's a reliable car, my refrigerator is full of food, so much so it was a chore to find room for the Thanksgiving turkey prior to roasting.

I've decided that when your 73 that recovery from major surgery takes a lot longer than when your in your 60's. And that the doctor was right, you will have good days and bad days. It looks like it's 2 steps forward and 1 step back (sometimes 2). Well, yesterday was a good day, so look for a new chapter of Tommy sometime this morning.

in honor of TDOR, here is a link to a story I wrote: https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/32200/tapestry-stars

wanted to give you guys an update. Now that my new computer is up and running, I am hoping to get back to writing as my spoons allow. unfortunately, as the two projects I have on the go are longer than my usual, including one I hope to make into my entry in the next contest, it will be a while before I have something to share with you all.

But I'll still be my usual comment-happy self, so no worries there ....

Don't know if the story was part of a Universe or a stand-alone

It was quite dark.

MC mutates, becomes catatonic, ends up in an institution

While in the institution is abused along with the other patients, used for drugs testing.

MC's begins to come out of the catatonic state, finds they have telepathy, telekenesis.

Hi all!

Thank you so much for all your support, comments and Kudos on Witch's Apprentice. I'm going to do another editing pass on it and make some corrections for future viewings but I'm also considering a slight spin-off of the series with a story focusing on Skuld and what happens next with her story from her point of view. Let me know if you'd like to see that.

Things are calming down with the move so I'm hoping that now I've got some stability I'll be able to work on things more.

Thank you again!

On October 18 Casey Brooke wrote and posted Svala which started me rereading her stories and her stories I have not read. I just wanted to give a shout out to so many great stories and if you are looking for hours of reading check them out.
Also for you new members check out some of the authors that no longer post stories by going to categories and then type of stories you like go to last page and work back to present
Have fun and enjoy so many good authors and stories

Hi Everyone,
If' you've been wondering about Karen Lockhart and her current novel 'Ginny's Story', I'm sorry to inform you that she is currently in hospital after a fall. I am in touch with her cousin and will post any news. There are no chapters of Ginny available to post at present. Some of you know that I do the proofing, so as soon as I get another chapter I will proof it as soon as possible. I'm as keen as everyone else to know what happens next.
Regards, Bronwen Welsh

Sometimes I Can't Hold It In Any More

I suppose I am what you can categorise as a frustrated transsexual. I am not a crossdresser although I dress in women's clothes as often as I can. I don't regard this as crossdressing. All I am doing is dressing in the clothes in which I should have been dressing all my life. Circumstances have prevented me from assuming my true sex throughout my life, so that I have had to masquerade as a man for more than sixty years.

So, got home last night, turned PC on and a minute later - nada!

Yep you got it, Mad's PC has issues, it won't boot. There was no indication of an issue previously, no warning, its never been connected to the internet so not a virus but it's effectively dead.

The only good news is that the only work I can't access is the half chapter of Gaby book 24 I wrote on Monday. I'm sure everything is there still, just need to get to it!

There may be a delay in getting stuff out but hopefully it's just a short blip.

okay so new computer mostly up and running but pidgeon is a problem as I do not remember how to reach the chat site help?

I wanted to thank the readers of Big Closet for taking the time to look over my first attempt at contributing a story here.

It’s obviously a work in progress and needs much more effort to make the grade. But, this fulfills my desire to give something back to this site. I’ve anonymously been coming here to read all of your stories for a while now and just wanted to give it a try myself.

I’ve got about twenty-thousand words written and will continue to post the chapters here, but I just wanted to thank you for your acceptance and patience.

Went to the vet tonight for my cat last trip.

A few week ago I spot a grow on her jaw, but as I was STUPID and busy, I wait before seeing the vet... Long story short, it was one of the aggressive cancer.
With her lost of will to live and the quality of life she could have hope after any treatment. I only got one human option.

Don't forget to love and cherish any moment you got with those bundles of Love.

Love and Hug tmf

I'm so sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings again, and I don't know his views on gender issues, but Stan Lee was a great influence on my life and my characters. It so sad to see another of my heroes pass away. I'm sure some of you, like me, lost yourself in comic books with their larger than life heroes that were a little more human than those that came before.
Just thought some of you might like to know the news. He was 95.

I sit here in my recliner on a peaceful Monday morning secure in my home surrounded by family as I ponder why it is I'm not at work.

I grew up in the Vietnam era. My one and only brush with the law happened when I was 17 and I was still on probation when I registered for the draft. As a result, I was classified 1Y. I was never called to serve, as a matter of fact, when I tried to enlist, first in the Navy and then the Army, they both decided to give me a pass for the same reason.

I have been reading up on Canada's contributions to world War one, and it's staggering. Almost 1 tenth of the population served, one third of those died were wounded or captured. And especially in the last 100 days they played a key role in winning the war. Rest easy soldiers you are not forgotten

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Another weekend, another teaser of some of the books you can find in the Doppler Press bundle being offered as a prize in the Reader Retention contest!

For those of you who may have missed it here are the rules. For everyone else, here's the next two books to be revealed from the curated list!

My Choice:

Sad as it is, not every husband, wife, father, mother, son or daughter comes back. And even if they do come back sometimes they left a piece of them behind. Tomorrow it's Armistice, and we remember those that payed the ultimate price. But I would ask everyone to also remember the families, forgotten by many, that lost a husband, a wife, a father, a mother, a son or a daughter.

Florent Pagny

I'm looking for two Science Fiction books that I read "about" 20 years ago. I can not remember if one of the characters was TG or anything.

In the story was a character who had a machine something like a spinning wheel in which they cut the spools of time and spliced it, thus altering time.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

A Lad sent to stay with his aunt by mother, I can't remember if there is a father, mother going away

Mother call every night, all seems fine until he notices itching in chest

he tries to get help from mom, mom believes aunt she is moms sister after all.

help finally comes from female friend, friend i think lives next door, the only one that aunt lets him accociate with

This relationship is aunts undoing as, the friend is M2F but aunt thinks her parents are as ill as she is

Mom finally arrives at the hospital and begs forgiveness

I went off on a Facebook rant that accused everyone that supported Trump of being complicit in his bigotry and were just as much as a bigot as he was.

Figured I would clue everyone into where I've been, at least with my writing and lack of posting.

I had a heart attack two weeks ago, or at least that what the doctor tells me. I think the ER wanted to keep me at least over night, but they decided to let me go after experiencing my unique scene of humor :)

While that could have been bad, it actually wasn't. The truly bad was finding out I am now blessed with diabetes as my A1C came back 245. Then they also found unusual liver enzymes.

This appeared in the comments for her story published last week I think it got pushed off the front page by new comments before many people saw it.

Sadly I must report that the Adventures of Alexa and Jenny have come to an end.
The Author and my good friend, Kris Traverse
Passed away unexpectedly last week. A heart attack. She will be missed greatly!
