The sharp-eyed amongst you may already have noticed some logo changes for the Eve & Unaccounted Gains series as each is now displaying Book 1. The Series page has been suitably modified with a new uber organisational page created, There is also now an Eve 2 page awaiting content, as a teaser.

What this means is that both Eve & Gains will be finishing soon in their Book 1 guise. One or both may take a break whilst I work on republishing Tammy, starting with the Hallowe'en special.

Excuse me for not joining in with the paeans of praise.

Since the 'upgrade' I have been unable to post comments. Nor can I post blogs.

It all works on the computer at work, but not here on my laptop - where it all worked fine last week.

This is for me a retrograde step.

I cannot believe that I am the only one with this configuration of hard-, soft- and vapour-ware.

I've just noticed the return of the Kudos/Thumbs Up numbers to the 'My Stories' page much more quickly than I thought would be possible. Thank you once more for all your efforts to ease our transition to a new BC World (I did of course immediately check my own numbers and also looked to see if the overall total showed in 'My Account' [not yet]).

In case others don't realise it is also once more possible to split your uploads into Teaser and Main Body by the insertion of <"!--break--"> omitting quotation marks.

Just a quick announcement about our two newest Kindle eBooks by some GREAT authors from our community! Hypatia and Rebekkah deMere.

While BC was undergoing it's upgrade, I published Hypatia's " The Lady Lies Sleeping "

" Many things that walk upon the earth are older than we can guess, at the beginning was The Firstborn, he who danced as the world was created…he will dance at the end of the world too…and that might just be a little closer than he would like. "

Welcome back with a new look . I was starting to get BCTS withdrawals . I love the new look. THANK YOU and the staff for the hard work you have done over the last week getting this up and running. HUGS & KISSES Richie2

Carla Bay, Namely (Roo) Turns Sixty nine today.
It really has been Carla's Journey in real life the last couple of years, I have been to busy to write any more chapters of Carla's Journey but will start writing again soon.
Hugs to all my friends on Big Closet :)

indeed, lots of thanks for looking after the servers etc.

I feel horrible, not physically horrible but just bad for disappearing and not being able to post anything for so long.Granted, circumstances were beyond my control but I want to try to make it up to my readers. To that end I worked hard the past week on getting Going Green ready to post and the new chapter of Twice Removed.I'm currently working on the next chapter of that too as well as Alex in Wonderland, Syryn's Song, and Winters Child.

Since the update I have been able to post neither Blogs nor Comments

Kaitie Leone asked that I post that she is in the hospital with an infection in her leg. The hospital is most likely blocking her access to the website. She would like to wish everyone the best with the new setup of BigClose Topshelf. She calls her foot a Hobbit Foot since it looks like the size of a hobbitt's foot due to all the swelling (see picture below). She hopes to back to writing and working within a couple of days. It will take that long to get her white cell count down so that she can come home. I will post info from her as I hear it to let people know how she is doing.

Everything should be working fine now, but we had an issue with our Secondary/Slave MySQL server. I'm currently working on figuring out exactly what the issue was, but things should be back working in the mean time.

Hope I'm not overstepping any bounds here, but I just thought I'd pop in and mention this since it might be of a lot of interest to folks here. I recently got the privelege to beta test a piece of online novel writing software known as Novlr. It allows you to rearrange and organize chapters as seperate documents in a manner similar to Scrivener, but has a much simpler interface. Currently, it's not very feature rich, but new features have been promised.

I know that everyone gets those odd emails, Increase your 'body part' and Buy cheap 'drug' here type ads. But the other day I got one with a very strange subject: Email Exclusive! Buy 1 Get 1 Free, Woman Within! Now I thought that slavery was illegal, but here it is a sale to buy one woman, get one free!

(For those that don't know Woman Within! is a clothing store.)

hmmm?

Sorry I have been away so long folks, but things went from bad to worse since my last blog.

I've been away from a computer for a few days and when I logged in this morning, I found a very different looking BCTS.

When I read a blog, the list at the left of the page does not turn color to alert me that I've already read that message.

Listed fiction no longer includes the name of the author, a prime criterion for whether I read a story with my very limited time.

I notice that the ads are absent. This cant be good for revenue.

This seems to be a large print version of BCTS. Even with my poor vision, not yet necessary for me, even on a laptop.

Amazon is pushing a new series called "Transparent".

Here in the U S we have a democratically elected republican form of government with a constitution enabling us to generally have free and fair elections. The most important way for anyone to have any voice in government is to VOTE! The only way to vote is to BE REGISTERED! If you are not registered get registered. Make sure you follow the qualifications in your state. Also ask your neighbors if they are registered, get them registered and urge them to vote. The country you save may be your own.

Apparently tablets are not ment to be sat on any one know how to replace a digitizer on a galexy tab 3

I apologize for how this story has been received. Marina wrote this story about a man who is forced by the government to go undercover and his wife jumps on the bandwagon.

Managed it - news, pictures, new chapter all over at Maddybell.com

Yes this is instant replay of anthers well worded post but it bears repeating for those who may not have seen it the first time.

I've got a serious question for people, and it concerns unpubbing stories. Namely, what people think about the idea of me doing so for certain titles.

This month is a particularly heavy one for bills. We have over $1000 in bills for hosting due before the end of the month, this is because several annual payment contracts are expiring. Others will expire next month and in November.

Donations are our major way to fund BCTS, not to slight our advertisers who help us out enormously but advertising is less than 25% of our revenue. We've only received about 1/3 of the amount we need for the month, so far.

I am starting write my first story. Its call hidden valley. Hope to have it up soon

My wife cat was attack today by a pit bull. Came into the yard grab of him and kill him . If I had a gun I would of put it down where he stood.

Looking over the past few months of blog entries, I've noticed that some of mine get far more reads than some others, and they're not always the ones I think are going to attract attention.

With that in mind, I put a question to all of you. What do you like to see in a blog entry, and what do you not?

I'm hoping someone who is computer savvy can help me on this:

Hi Everyone!

This may come off as a bit of a strange request, so a bit of information up front.

.... some help for advanced planning on others who, like me, do rather a lot of cooking. And as the modern times catch up with us.

So for all you 'cookies' out there:

There I was, thinking that if a story could make a political point I'd be okay replying to it - albeit with a rather hefty dollop of sarcasm.

Synopsis- Chad Ellis bought some magic to become a better Ice hockey player but instead is turned into a female figure skater training for the Olympics.

So I have this massive epic to bring to an end, with plotlines and stories disappearing in all directions. I'll be flying to the US again at the end of October...

So, what do I do? Write another story, of course. This one is set on Anmar, but somewhere nearby.

Alright, this never seems to work out well for me, but I'm gonna try this again....

I'm looking for something to read.

Hello BCTS! I was thinking earlier, hey lets all come together as a community and write a game! (J)RPG style!

Just got back from the gender doc. He wanted to reassure me that he hadn't given up hope for me to have SRS, as he was writing to clinics in California and Arizona.

Well, I got moved to an Apartment building down by the river, here in Portland. So, there is a Transgender woman on the 4th floor with me, but I have not done more than catch sight of her as she walked around the corner.

The original site I picked this news up off is really off the wall when it comes to TLG things. Part of the "hate them" crowd. You can figure the comments were skewed. Lots of likes dislikes about this story at the school and on the net. Net search of the story turned up a little less hate mongering at the following site.

'I couldn't stop smiling': Transgender girl crowned homecoming princess by fellow students

Fascinating the ladies would put so much time and effort into a thirteen hundred dollar prize. Have no idea what those gowns and accessories cost in Thailand? Here in US easily twenty to fifty times the value of the prize for winning.

The fact they made that transition is the best prize of all for those who have their hearts and their minds finally in agreement for the first time in their lives.

Blot removed all of his stories from FM, deleted his deviantart account, hasn't posted to metamorphose.org since 2013, and basically vanished.

Anyone know what happened to him?

I have come to a point in life where I have read everything that has attracted my attention. I marathon'd (let it be known, I coined this word) Somewhere Else Entirely early this morning.

I am shocked, stunned, blown away, pick your adverb(s). This story is almost completely free hand as I call it. I didn't sit down do and out line in general, set a time line, lay out all the players and so on. the notes I made for it would fit on a 3X5 index card with room left over. That is not the way I normally write. I generally lay out he whole story start to finish outline style and than start the actual writing process. I normally do a ton of research before I start too.

I was reading a favorite webcomic of mine The Princess by Christine Smith but for some reason now it's being labeled a virus site. Can anyone explain why it thinks the site is unsafe? Did something happen?
