This link takes you to the oldest stories although some old stories may have had their publication dates refreshed to make them appear on the front page long after they slipped off it.

These are the oldest Stories I can find on this site, but
it will change as new Stories are added. The page number will increase. And the stories are from 2003.

MS Frankenstein
I published MS Frankenstein at Storysite in 2001, and I think I moved it over here in 2005. The site was well established then. I think that Sephrina or Catherine Linda Michele encouraged me to move it.

First stories
The first stories posted on BigCloset were by me, since it started out as a place for me to post my LGBT fiction. The first stories posted on TopShelf were years later.
Here's the old site: http://bigcloset.ateros.com/index.php.html when it was being run by Lainie Lee.
Among the very first stories I think I posted were Mercedes, ekiN and Lainie Lee's Spare Key. There were 14 stories when it first went up, five or six of them by me. I think two were by Bashful and we might have had one of Wanda's short-shorts. I had another site called atEROS for other erotica, and when I started BigCloset, I moved the GLBT stuff over.
I also did a site for Mat Twassel called Calendar in which Mat wrote a new piece of erotica everyday for a year. That site is gone but it was at calendar.ateros.com. Most days, one or the other of us did an illustration for that one.
Hugs,
Erin
