Since many of the wonderful stories here have gone to print, I can't put them in the category of 'stories on the BC page'. For the most part, I'd say you can't go wrong with reading any of the BC retro classics. There are a few that I always go back and read through.

1. Being Christina Chase - Admiral Krunch. This story is timeless.
2. Modern Bride - Czolgolz (Though Presto Chango is wonderful too)
3. The Might-Have-Been Girl - Bronwen Welsh (oh... just keep reading the rest of the trilogy...)
4. The Pawn - TGFictionStv - (The Black Ring series is good too)
5. The Scholarship - JulieO

The ones you mentioned are wonderful, but these I've read, reread and continue to enjoy...

...I've tried to do a Top Five or Ten list since 2012 or thereabouts. (There was discussion about a Best of BigCloset book about then, which never materialized.)

I'd still include Sarah Lynn Morgan's "Samantha" as my favorite in the medium length category, and Tiffany Shar's Dollar Runaways as my favorite long story. Karen J Taylor's "Happiness and a Warm Gun" was on my list; so was Valentina Michelle Smith's "Jury Duty". Angharad's Totally Insane is my favorite (basically) completed serial. I guess that makes five.

I've recommended Thliwent's Going There and Back Again, from a little later (2014), a couple of times here. It's a complete novella but since it was broken up into ten parts it can't come up in the Random Solos, and since it's the only thing ever posted under that byline, one can't get to it because they're reading something else by the author.

The Sleether/Draflow collaboration, She of the Jade Skirt (2013), was so gory that I haven't gone back to read it again except for the happy ending. But I'd definitely put it in my personal top ten.

A really off-the-wall choice, and one I probably shouldn't make: "Tortilla Flats Ghost Story" (2012), by Kaptin Nibbles, since he (aka Pablo Sands) doesn't seem to have left it or anything else posted after he changed screen names again. It's my impression that I was the only one here, the author included, who found the story exceptional.

... I'll throw my hat into the ring and then see what happens;
1. Wolfjess' Justice series,
2. efindumb's Winnisimet series,
3. Snowfall's Lyssa Kordoney series,
4. SaraU.K. series You have it all wrong series,
Last and not least I will give a tribute to an AMAZING writer who has inspired many writers, Bob Arnold and his Zapped series!
I know you asked for a single story, BUT, to pick one out of the many series of stories the many stories written by the talented authors that contribute their hard work to BC is very hard. Thus the series I mentioned. I hope I have not insulted ALL of the TALENTED writers that I did not mention. In my mind you are all WINNERS!

rather unique. These are in no particular order as I like these all roughly the same.

1. Tiffany Shar’s Standing up to Life series- Sadly we never got anything past the 3rd book with this one and it doesn’t look like we ever will as Tiffany has been nowhere to be seen for quite some time now.

2. Tanya Allan’s Emma- This one makes me cry happy tears every time I read it because of how the main character develops during the story.

3. Shauna’s Christmas Twins- For those that haven’t read this story you need to give this one a look. It’s a very unique story in how it develops and is actually quite satisfying to read.

4. Zoe Taylor’s Magic of the Kingdom series - This one is just a fun one to read. A janitor tries on a costume and ends up becoming the actual fairy in the park? How cool is that!

5. Jennifer Sue’s A Summer’s Odyssey series - To any of you who may not have seen this absolute gem because of how old the first book actually is. I suggest you look it up and give all the books a read. They are wonderful to read and are an absolutely amazing story.
