I've been trying to tackle various jobs around the website and, truth to tell, I just don't have the concentration to be effective. Things may slide for a few days.

Hugs,
Erin

Help!

I've been reading for years but this is the first time I've signed up and now when I went to post the first part of the story, I messed up. But, in signing up I managed to screw up where I don't have any way to access posting or editing a story. I need help from someone behind the curtain.

Thank you,

HL

Well, others come here and unload their problems, sometimes at length. So excuse me for doing so, I'll try and keep it short.

Medieval type time period.

Heir to the throne protects the kingdom by use of magic, and His actions become a feat legend as he disapeared.

The act changes his gender.

I seem to remember something covering the MCs eyes, I don't think she was blind I think she had no eyes or eye lids just a layer of skin where the eyes should be, so the cover was to alleviate the distress to others.

I have come to realize that titles are much more important than I had thought.

Not sure the cartoonist had transgender in mind, but it fits.

There will not be another chapter of The House until Monday at the earliest. I have just started on a story arc that will run from three to five chapters in length, and I want to write all the chapters before I publish them, possibly as double chapters. I want to be able to go back and amend earlier chapters if the arc takes me in unexpected directions.

The quote is of course, courtesy Monty Python, and fortunately, I'm luckier than the fellow in the sketch. See, I dodged a bullet in terms of my liver. CT scan showed the same level of fatty tissue as before, so for now, its exercise, diet, and keep an eye on things. Also good news, despite the pain I have been feeling in my hip the last while, no signs of further arthritic damage, so my doctor said its most likely a pulled muscle or strained tendon, and again, losing weight would be the best thing I can do for it.

As a man who loves to wear dresses and skirts. I would love to be able to wear dresses and skirts when at home. My family has accepted the night gowns (that my wife suggested that I try) I have been wearing for the past couple years. But now I want more and don't know how to accomplish this feat. I don't want to be a woman just like to wear the clothes. I wish it were socially acceptable to the public.

Yes indeed, Gaby Ontario has soared all the way to number one in the youth sport category on Kindle thanks to you lot! No mean feat in a popular category dominated by horse and soccer stories. For a cycling story to break this grip is very positive and will hopefully engender a few more non TG readers!

So a great big thank you to you all and remember that if you bought through BC the site gets a kickback which goes towards continuing this great asset.

Once again, thank you

I will be publishing Star on Kindle and in order to have it in the Kindle unlimited category, I need to remove it from this site. I thought it would be nice to give advanced warning before I remove it and figured this would be the easiest way to do that. In two days (lunch time Wednesday Oz time) I intend to remove the word content. The only way I know how to do that is to edit each chapter and delete the words. If there is another, better method it would be great to know what it is.

Happy reading.

So, one year ago today, I married my best friend. It hasn't been an easy road for us, but we always make it over any hurdle that comes our way.

Kirstyn (Piper),

Thank you for

1) Accepting me for who I am.

2) Always making sure I get cuddles before falling asleep.

3) Mustard Hearts on sandwiches.

4) Catching me when I fall (literally).

5) Picking me up when I fall (literally).

6) Being an amazing parent to our son.

7) Dealing with me when I'm in pain.

8) Listening to me ramble about things I've rambled about before.

We'll start with the new book, The full fat version of Book 23, Ontario is now published! 300 plus pages of typical Gaby adventure and angst, excitement all the way to the last paragraph!

I apologize for the late posting this week, I had some personal issues in the real world and it's just been a very strange week for me.

Having faced down her own demons Amy must now face down Sapphira's, but will she have the strength or will Chemosh triumph over them both?

Well Amazon surpassed themselves this time!

So in case you got impatient checking I can advise that the book has, finally made its Kindle appearance a mere 3 days after being submitted. Just search Gaby Ontario and it'll bring up all 4 parts. Do so through a BC link and you'll be adding to this site's coffers too.

For the more patient of you, i've got the full volume ready to launch tomorrow. Yup, the whole exciting kit and kaboodle all in one 300+ page volume. The tension runs all the way to the last paragraph with more going on in young Bonds life than ever!

I dont know how many of you guys know, but I am the admin of a facebook page dedicated to fans of this site (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1418685195068872/ ). I and some others often post content there related to or linked to stuff posted here, and it occurred to me that perhaps if some of you have social media accounts on sites such as Twitter or others and are willing to do so, you could give this place the occasional push on those sites.

No . . . this site should never change its mission. But Erin needs help and I thought that blog title would get you to open this.

A few days ago, I posted a blog that suggested people could support Big Closet by serving on committees to help the site.

Okay . . . so people either don’t like committees (which proves they’re sane) or they didn’t care for the ideas I presented. The response was lukewarm, maybe even COLD!

But . . . out of that blog came a PM from Melanie that got me thinking that maybe the better answer is to concentrate on one area.

It is safe to say that without Big Closet. "Dorothy" would not exist. In fact its debatable whether I would even be alive now had I not found this site. Which is why the constant struggles to keep the site financially afloat has me worried, and more than a little frustrated.

See, I am on disability, and once I take care of my rent, car, and food, I might have maybe 20 bucks a month left over, and that's on a good month. Not to mention my mom is covering for me in terms of giving money to my ex and my daughter and that's far from fair.

I'm dredging up the old stories but my memory won't cooperate. College student is moving into an apartment and meets two of his new neighbors, two girls. Various things happen and they end up a triad. Guy goes girl, which means as a would-be engineer she has to prove herself to her coworkers. Working for an engineering firm, she saves the day when new stress detectors of her own design detect that a city bridge is going to give way soon. The old design detectors weren't picking up the problem, but with the new detectors they have enough time to prevent any injuries and damage.

I'm looking for help in locating a story that featured "LC", a young Australian who'd taken on the persona of a reclusive actor. His/her experiences contributed to redefining / enhancing the actor's image. I'd love to re-read and update her adventures!

While Alex Jones got yanked off of Twitter and others places everyone seemed to cheer. What got overlooked was legitimate Leftist groups and journalists have either been delisted or purged from Facebook or Google News. Chris Hedges was taken down from the latter after he criticized them in an interview with a website.
I saw at least one more left leaning group delisted from Facebook.

I have just finished reading, Nick B's "Lost Girl - Girl Found" & three parts of "The Lost Girl - Girl Found Chronicles"

Is Nick still about?

Hi everybody! My name is Jamie, and I am one of the minions behind the scenes here. If you see Erin mention one of the crew being sick and in the hospital, chances are it is me.

I just got a feeding tube placed, and will be moving in to long term care in the next few days, so I am hoping that I can be more productive there.

I have a few ideas that might help me help the team, so I'm wondering if some of you might be able to assist.

Yes, I have just managed to scrape a bit of Interweb time after a nice trip to see the GC.

Most of you are probably bored by the regular advertisements for 'The Frozen Balance' on BCTS.
Sorry about that (but not much - you will see why below).

What you might not know is that I assigned all the proceeds from 'The Frozen Balance' to Doppler Press (aka Erin and team) and the sales that Doppler Press have generated in the first month have:

Just a quick note, if you read the story please consider leaving a comment. It really helps encourage me to keep writing.

Now that the exemplars have drawn into their own mental prisons, Amy is left to face the ghosts of her past alone. Can she overcome them without psychic abilities or will she succumb to her personal demons?

While it feels like I've had to apologize pretty often in this space, I feel like I owe something to the people who have faithfully read my stories, and apologize for the fact that it might be a while before I have anything for you all.

Serious lack of spoons lately, with a lot of things on my plate that I havent been handling as well as i would like. But dont give up on me yet, I'm gonna get through this - I hope ...

It's probably nothing, but I just want to inform in case the site's administrators aren't aware of it.

For the past few weeks (maybe a couple of months already) the site doesn't seem to ever stop loading. It's not that the site loads half or anything like that. The site already loaded completely, but my browser tells me that the site is still loading. You know that circle thing in chrome tab name and the dot thing that move left and right in firefox tab name.

Great article, very positive, well worth reading.

A new statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics tries to guide doctors and dispel myths about growing up with gender identity questions.

Helping Pediatricians Care for Transgender Children

Article text follows:

So Hurricane Callum has reached even GOC this weekend, not nice even with just the fringe, best wishes go to everyone suffering more acute symptoms than a stiff breeze and a few puddles.

Posted the first part of an eight part story; part of the continuing Cynthia Chronicles. Although the story does end happily for the main characters, there are some very dark overtones. Myrna Moskowitz has been part of the series since "Cynthia and the High School Years". Although not magic, she has deep connections to most of the characters in the series, as does her husband and lover, Avery. For years Myrna was a free spirit with little religious affiliation.

Sorry people! I know the delay has been problematic, but at last I'm ready to reveal the results of our Double Dip Story Contest!

Firstly I should apologise for another whiney post - I'm not in a good place in my head this week.

I guess it's largely my own fault, decisions i've made that have maybe not been the best choices. Every time I think i've got my head and life together another spanner falls into the works and i'm not even back to where I started. Effectively i'm bankrupt - no regular income and bills that need paying has become a repeating cycle of worry.

I wanted to talk a bit more about this idea floating around in my head, the one I mentioned yesterday in regards to swamp legends.

You guys may or may not be familiar with a character called Silver John, who was featured in a number of stories by Manly Wade Wellman. I found him in a collection of short stories called "Who fears the Devil". Silver John is a travelling musician, who goes around the southern United States, often encountering legendary monsters, and he carries a guitar with silver strings - which comes in handy occasionally.

I have the beginnings of an idea about a story connected to my M.Y.T.H. universe, but I am going to need help. Does anybody know about creatures of the Louisiana swamps? Specifically, I'm thinking any thinking monsters or were-creatures ? If you do, or know any resources related to that mythos, please let me know.

Just posted a little pre-Halloween treat for you all. hope you enjoy!

Sorcerer's Marks and Morpheus' "The Academy" which I am reading again thanks to Carpe Diem's blog entry 'Looking for a story'

While reading "The Academy" the MC is discovered to have a Sorcerer's Mark

This reminded me of a similar story of a magic academy, but this one was more of a Summer School\Camp, one of the MC's friends is a goth and her 'SYMBOL' (for want of a better term as I can't remember what the story called them) was a "Jack O Lantern"

Well, here I am, back in the land of my birth and a few of my forefathers. After a week of predominantly warm sunshine, no sooner had we landed did the rain start to fall, the temperature definitely 10c cooler than when we left Germany! If you go here there are a few pictures which give a flavour of the trip.

My weekend was crazy, and I don't think I got more than 2 contiguous hours of sleep in the last 3 days, so yeah; contest results will be up in a couple of days. Sorry peeps.

Melanie E.

A good friend sent me this link via Skype. I got such a good chuckle out of it I thought I would share it.

Alien Repellant up for auction

Make sure to read the write up below the pictures

I am in a weird place at the moment. Its kinda like this: (part of my brain): "Any moment now, my facade of happiness will crack, and I'll tumble into a depression ..... any moment now .... I'm braced, I'm ready, bring on the sad .... any time now ... (taps a foot ) ... yeah, it will sure will be awful .... when that big downer hits .... any time now ..."

and on and on like that ...

Hi everyone

Im looking for a magical story where in the end the Main character hides Excalibur in a lake on school Grounds

Thanks a lot

Carpe Diem

I think it may have been part of a recent contest!

Family of Mechanics\Engineers in rural US, youngest child of one branch of family becones introverted after beating from father and self imposed mute

Group of bullies (middleschool i think) drag the child into the restroom intending to give a beating. BIG MISTKE

Can't remember more
