My PTSD has decided to pay me a visit.

As a result, I'm very shaky.

hugs appreciated.

As it's been awhile, thought I'd babble on the current progress drafting Hope's Light. It's going fairly well so far, the draft is somewhere between a third and a half written. Still tons more to do, but it's certainly building that snowball of momentum down the mountainside which becomes the omg avalanche by the end.

Since Google search and results was part of a recent blog I thought this was interesting.

I recently discovered asstr.org was gone. Apparently its been gone a while, but its not somewhere I went often. It did have an archive of stories called Old Joe's Collection. This had a TG section of stories from when I started reading them on Usenet. Usenet was the internet's message boards before the web was invented.

An article in the Guardian - powerful stuff

I'm afraid that I'm away all day on Saturday attending a national dormouse conference. I'll be leaving home with a friend at Sparrow fart and returning home late so I won't have time to write Bike, sorry and all that.

I am feeling a bit downhearted and discouraged because of the extremely lackluster sales of Transitioning Home and Hands of the Morri.

Ask yourself -- if I tried to call up Big Closet on my computer and it was unavailable and appeared to be gone forever, what would I do?

If your answer is something along the lines of – that wouldn’t be a problem for me I would simply spend more time reading on _____ or writing stories for _____ -- then you are probably more of a taker than a giver in regard to this site – and that is understandable.

For me . . . the existence of BC is a huge part of my life. I give to BC to maintain that part of me.

I've been thinking of taking the plunge and attempting to publish on Amazon Kindle. I've read some books there and a few of them have been from BCTS authors, though some of the others could have been but were done in the stealth mode. I'm not planning to out anyone.
They are my three oldest stories, and I think that all three are large enough to interest Amazon. I'm not terribly worried about my editing work because I recently read a very long book there that passed but still needed a lot of editorial work, though the story was quite engaging.

I had a doctor's appointment to day at the Sunset Kaiser Clinic. It was simply a yearly wellness check. After seeing the doctor I needed to use the restroom. I've been going to the doctor totally en femme for about six or seven years now and I've been to the restroom there several times. As I refuse to use the men's room while not masquerading an average male, I've always used the women's room.

Today was the first time I encountered this sign outside the restroom.

Wheeee-eeee! Pop!

I took a peek at my unfinished stories, and all I can say is "yuck"

none of them are any good right now, and I just don't seem to have the ability to fix them

so I think I might be done producing stories for the foreseeable future.

Sorry everybody.

Dreams lately are perhaps impossible to separate from wakefulness. This morning I dreamed about writing a short story that would undoubtedly draw fire from some, or many, or even most. It would make use of every thing I can remember of all disciplines religious, scientific, mystical, and things without names. I don't know if it would include TG content because I haven't written it yet, still trying to recover from the dream, perhaps nightmare. I don't know if I can publish something here and not allow comments? I won't ask if anyone wants to read this one.

Well, I am finally recovering from the flu, and so is my mom.

maybe now I can get back to writing . . .

Amanda needs a lot done before her first date!

I've written a short story that has several scenes involving U.S. Army personnel, set during the war in Afghanistan, mostly at Bagram. I've done as much research as I can, but I'm reluctant to post it without a pre-read by someone who was in that conflict. If anyone would be willing to help, please shoot me a private message.

Warmest regards,

Emma

I am working on the first of two large chapters for “All I Need is a Miracle” and I noticed that only “Ty/Tai” has a picture in all of my postings, so the next chapter will probably use this picture.

From top left, clockwise:
Riley, Tai, Tony, Chris, Matt

Pvt. Lucie's entire unit disappeared, finding themselves in the world of Me-Tah -- because it's not Utah.

There are no girls in the Lost Patrol but there is Pvt. Lucie, maybe the next best thing?

Chapter 4 is up on Patreon!

So, I'm trying something different. A couple things, I guess. I'm writing a Halloween story, and I haven't done one of those before. It's not done, but I've posted the first part today. I plan to post a chapter a day until the 31st, so the clock is now ticking. I have to figure out how it ends, write it, edit it, and get it posted, between now and Halloween. I haven't done that to myself before either. My problem, I think, is that I don't have enough stress in my life!

I hope you enjoy the story.

Well some at any rate!

I have recently spent more time as Leeanna in public. I never got a hostile or second glace, apart from some guy checking out my legs when the wind lifted my dress above the knee.

I learned most people will pass you by as they are not interested. I spent a few days on the Essex coast with a very kind gentleman who has been encouraging me to spend more time as my other self. Over the weekend I spent longer as Leeanna than I have ever before.

I must apologize to Erin and BC and all of the wonderful authors that have not only gifted us with their stories, but have allowed their stories to be published on Amazon and others and have donated all of their proceeds back to BC.

I am a daily reader on BC and try my best to post positive comments on the stories I read. I think most would agree, we have excellent writers on BC and their stories are very entertaining. Some of them elicit literally dozens of comments and are quite interactive.

However...

with a soupcon of fret thrown in!

Its been a bit since I blogged, so I want assure everybody I am still alive.

further updates as the situation requires.

Coulda sworn it was my mums birthday, 31st of October, just the one night if i recall but you wouldn't think so by the shops and decorations that have been festooning the streets for the last fortnight!

If you’ve stuck with Toni With An i from Part 1 to Part 2 (I know, two long parts in quick succession, I only have a third chapter completed at the moment, so don’t worry) you’ll have noticed a change in how explicit it is. There’s definitely going to be moments where bodies are to the fore. Bodies and all the feelings around them simply are a part of who everyone is, trans or not. I wanted to let readers know, however, this isn’t a pure smut story, or even a mostly smut story, which I know would be atypical for this site; this community I’ve just joined as a new author.

"If It Was Your Husband" 15 and 16 is up. Much of the angst of the previous chapters has dissipated and our characters settle into a relationship approaching the status quo before all this happened.

Carrie seems to have gotten a little better at communicating with Alex. Though Carrie is still guiding him in how to progress, Alex has a little bit of forewarning about what she wants and there's some open discussion about the next step.

Things will progress at a pretty quick rate from here to the final posting. (Just two more.)

Okay so last night, I had two dreams that were very different.

In the first, I was back in high school, and got word of something happening at my school.

I walked to the school, and found that several student had been killed, and others injured, in what appeared to be a mass shooting.

I joined the shocked survivors in the cafeteria, feeling helpless and guilty for not having been there.

no, its not the best of weeks for sure.

so yesterday I helped my aunt get to a dentist appointment, then took her grocery shopping, then mom and I did our own grocery shopping, and ended up going to Costco for paper products before making our way home.

I'd celebrate getting so much done, but I also popped my hip and pulled a muscle in my groin, and after I got home I broke my computer chair, so my celebration is kind of muted.

ah, well.

Thank you to all those who left kudos for my last story. "A Space Oddity - Houston I have a problem".

That was the first time I had over 100 kudos for a story since "Taken by the Grey Folk" in March.

I kind of have a feel for what goes down well on some of the different sites I submit stories on nowadays. On Bigcloset, my highest-rated stories were the first part of Surgeon's Lodger, The Assult, with The Substitute Housewife Part 1, and Seven Years as a Wife being the top two.

Some of those had sex in the stories, but most did not.

A couple weeks ago I asked writers to identify which of their short stories they liked the best. But if I hadn’t limited the field, there is no doubt that An Aria for Cami is my personal favorite of all the stories I’ve written. It is being published by Doppler Press on Amazon for kindle as four books, and the first one, The Holly and the Ivy, has just been published. I hope that you will purchase, read and review it — all proceeds will go to BCTS to help support the site!

Recently a story was published with a rape scene.

The story was tagged “explicit content.” Beyond that, the story unfolded logically and gave plenty of notice to the reader that a rape would occur. Further, the story was written by an author who writes femdom stories and has published them here for two decades.

I wouldn’t have read the story if the controversy had not occurred and been chronicled in other blogs. I assume several other readers read the story for the same reason.

Amanda experiences boyfriend problems. Yikes!

I've been searching everywhere to try and find a story I read a long time ago, probably like 5 years ago at this point, and I've turned up nothing.

Maybe it’s just my perception, but it appears to me that recently there have been more stories on this site which seem to revolve around forced fem, rape, and other objectionable topics and actions.

I know what the animation meaning/style is, but not sure in terms of stories/written form..

Thanks!

sighs.

my brother told me since I cannot change my gametes, because I must take female hormones for the rest of my life, I cannot be a woman.

He believes I am suffering from a delusion, that I have wrong ideas about men and woman, and the doctors who supported me did so at the behest of Big Pharma.

so there it is.

Lets hope so!

Hello all. I just re-read Maggie finson's masterful work. For the old timers, you know what I mean. For the younger generations that may not know of the Caregivers stories, I urge you all to find and read them, and re-read them. If they are not all here on BC, they are all up on the whateley site in the library except for Straycats entry, which is still on storysite. Get it. Read it. Save it off. Who knows when it may vanish, and that's the only place to find it I know of. Owner/operator. Look for it. Finson wrote several, EE Nalley originated it and did several, along with Straycat's.

If an author puts something on Kindle, getting to it to read it is simple. Patreon on the other hand is very difficult for me and I usually just give up. Does Patreon Pay more? Is Amazon too difficult for Authors? For me if a story is offered on Patreon, it might as well have gone down a black hole.

As an author, I have more ideas than time to write. I often get inspired and write the first portion of a story only to get stuck because I wrote myself into a corner. Often it takes months or years to complete the story.

I now have about two dozen stories in various stages of completion.

This is where you all can step in. Read the story ideas below and tell me which story you want me to complete.

I’ve made a few edits (spelling, grammar, and removing one character from the last chapter) but have decided to release the short on Amazon.

Release Me-Kindle version

I would also like to ask if there is interest in the backstory to the Joel family.

Seems like its one of those weeks!

Pvt. Lucie has fallen into another world -- but there are no girls in the Lost Patrol.
