I seldom wake up rembering my dreams, but this morning I woke up from an argument with a red headed, asshole boss in an office setting. After a few minutes I realized the redhead was an adult version of the photo I used for Lucy in The Elliptical Path. Good thing I'm not planning a sequel, I will hate to see my character turn into an asshole.

That's right, folks!

Do you wanna see what happened with my original contest story idea? The one that ballooned out to over 12k words and I didn't have the heart to chop down? Well, do I have good news for you!

I just finished typing up and publishing the seventh chapter in my new series titled The Most Extreme Punishment-which, if you haven't already started reading, I suggest you check out. ;) But I was surprised to see that this chapter has over 2200 words. Which is longer than any of the other chapters I've written thus far. It's kind of funny, since the first few chapters had progressively fewer words, but now I've got the longest chapter yet. Wow!

Can anyone recommend a sci-fi story, or stories, on BCTS? I'm thinking of and have just written the first few paragraphs of something I feel has something to it, and I'm looking for the vibe of sci-fi stories on here.

Hey everyone,

It's been a journey of over thirteen years with BCTS, a journey filled with laughter, tears, and moments that left me utterly captivated. When I first stumbled upon this place, I was here for the erotica, but soon, I found myself falling deeply in love with the community and the stories it held.

I've been a bit of a lurker, gobbling up stories from many authors, sometimes sneaking in a DM or two. Watching the comings and goings of some fantastic writers, I've been the silent spectator in the corner, hand metaphorically (and sometimes literally) in my pants.

I thought I might have another entry for the the New Year's contest in me, but the story has petered out after about 400 words.

Ah, well, I should go back to some of my unfinished ideas . . .

I was just looking over "Melanie Brown's, Captive". For me, the story just yearns for another chapter or perhaps a post script or something. Here "Scotti" is at least at the end of the second year and declared an Art Major in chapter 1. Then in chapter 3 Scotti is sitting in the bathroom putting makeup on. For me, it is not surprising that after 3 years of brain washing, she would embrace being a woman. I assume that she was subjected to medically harsh doses of Estrogen, plus forced SRS.

I was thinking this morning (definitely cause for concern) and was wondering if I had anything in my arsenal that could maybe be converted to a contest entry.

Originally, I was thinking about my unposted things, but then, on review of the rules, I didn't see any prohibition on previously posted works. Turning my attention to those works, I discovered that I do in fact have a wonderful story for the contest!

Today was a great day for writing, woot! So I thought I'd ramble about it while still grinning happily.

First let me restate that this is in no way an endorsement of any of the stories submitted for the 2024 New Year’s Contest. That ain’t my job.

Hey there.

I posted a second story for the contest. I hope some of you like it.

Once again, I couldn't figure out how to mark my story as "Solo" so admin, please change that for me.

Thanks!

Randi's bike is busted! What can she do about it besides pout cutely? What she needs is a knight in greasy overalls.

During the night, I slept for a while semi-seated on the couch (a "skill" I inherited from my father).

I had a bit of an idea for my next story, but only that.

But after trying to fall back asleep again in the same position, I didn't quite get there. What did happen, though, was the ending part of the story decided that was the perfect time to announce itself in my brain.

I had to turn the lamp back down, grab a pen and paper and write it down -- the plot points, a few lines of dialogue -- so I'd have it down and not forget it.

Jo, Emma, and I love to write. We love to have our stories read and appreciated.

A primary goal of the current contest is to spur more people to read more stories. With that in mind, I've prepared remarks about fifteen stories entered in this contest. Eventually, I will post remarks about every story entered. Emma will be posting similar lists.

Please give these stories a chance.

Well, we had a bit of a lull yesterday. Can’t have that!

The contest has drawn over sixty wonderful stories, and we’ve had new authors as well as stories from some of BC’s most beloved. But some of you haven’t jumped in yet. :(

Canadians are the Texans of cold weather - everything is worse, harder, colder than anywhere else!

A friend of mine, using the pen name of Marissa Lynn, has decided to join the ranks of authors on Big Closet.

Her first piece is up, so check it out, and make sure to leave a comment!

the forecast for this bit of the world is a bit 'Northern'!

I got a new story up.

Its not a resolution story, but I hope people like it anyway.

is finally finished!

or more excuses for a late post!

Looking back over the years, I see a shameful number of stories that I've read and not commented on early on. For this I apologize and I will try to do better in the future.

Mini-Bio for
Jo Dora Webster, pen name of Ariel Montine Strickland

I'm an auburn haired, blue eyed, southern belle hailing from the great city of Denver, CO USA. While I feel like a forty something that may be me trying to will time to stand still. In all truth, I'm glad that it doesn't since I kept my millennium resolution to transition as a transwoman on my original rebirthday July 6, 2000.

I can trace my heritage to lowland Scotland and Ireland but I'm an American. I enjoy passing my time reading the latest romance, comedy or mystery from http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf (BCTS) and getting outside for a weekend camping with my SCA friends emulating a lady of the nobility in a world where chivalry is alive and well. I also enjoy my time as a Starfleet International member where I hold the fictional rank of Captain.

I've been around BCTS for more than seventeen years. What I think of as my first real story was 'What Would Jesus Do?' that I published under the name 'Jesus and the Transwoman' on a Christian website which was just getting started then and has since disappeared called Faithvine. However, I also twenty-eight years ago put one story, 'Beauty and the Vial' out on Usenet and it made its way to BCTS unknowingly since I wrote it under another pen name. At present, I've completed nine novels all initially under my pen name, Jo Dora Webster. I also have three short stories written under the pen name Jo Dora Webster.
