Where is the End?

When I first started writing TG fiction I thought that there were maybe six stories in me, total.

I posted my first story “Zoran” on Fictionmania in 2017 - November 11 to be exact. It was a story about a teenager blackmailed into femininity and running with it, ultimately turning the tables on his abuser, and finding happiness as a woman. It was deeply satisfying just to relate it. I got three reviews: “Really cute and sweet, I liked it”; “Nice short story, Good job”; and “Well that was a surprise! Great job!...”. That added some additional satisfaction. It started there.

A couple of weeks later posted two stories that had also been floating around in my head: “Cobra’s Moll” (a man jailed for fraud seeks protection inside by becoming transvestite eye candy for a gangster) and “Pit Crew” (two young motor racing fans follow their dream by masquerading as pit girls).

I got ten reviews for “Cobra’s Moll” with thanks and encouragement. That was a huge boost. I suppose that led me to look beyond writing just the six original ideas. So “Promotional Advantage” (an army officer tests his theory that he will win promotion faster as a female soldier) and “Bald” (a man trials hormone driven treatment for baldness) were new ideas. More followed, and then some.

Now I think that I have exasperated people on that site with my prolificacy, but I really cannot seem to stop. It is for my sake, you see, not theirs.

Another two stories in my head at the start before “Zoran” was posted, stayed there for a while longer. One became “The Infiltrator” which is now available through Hatbox – please read it. This is a novelette which took some time to complete – a classic undercover-as-a-woman tale, but such a drastic disguise needs to be plausible, and I hope it is here. Erin's subtitle nailed it

The other story line has been released on FM as “New Social Order” which is really only a narrative of the story I want to tell about gender evolving among male castaways in an inhospitable environment. What I want to do is significantly rewrite this story before I post it here on Big Closet, or on Amazon if it is large enough.

Then there is my unfinished novel – we all have one. It is titled “Recovered Memory” and is a thriller/mystery about a man who wakes up as a married post-op transwoman. I just cannot find the time to get into it because of everything else that keeps coming.

On Big Closet I have now published 168 stories (up to “Her Roommate”). I like to think of them all as being different. That is certainly what I strive for. I try not to be caught up in the same formula or trope, and to vary the point of view, writing styles and tones to win again that review to my first story: “Well that was a surprise!”

Thanks for writing and posting, Maryanne!

I may not have read all 168 stories--or commented--but I am with you in spirit! Write on, girl! There is NO end in sight!

HUGS!

Daring to be different!

Well done.
Your stories are indeed very varied and many thanks for that.

I've tried to be different from many others in my plots. I generally don't do stories where the main character is a teenager (I steadfastly refuse to use the term 'teen'!) and I certainly don't do forced fem (where the story is all to do with the forcing). I have one on the go that deals with the aftermath of such an act. That has not stopped me from posting here for almost 10 years and in the last 4.5 years, once a week.
Like you, I thought that I might have just a few tales in me when I started but once you get going, you get ideas from somewhere.
When a writing tutor says "You have 10 minutes to create a totally new character", you really don't expect that just six weeks later you have written an 80,000+ word novel from that small beginning. Such is the power of our creative mind when let loose.

Please carry on writing and I'll carry on reading. Vive la Difference!

I love your stories you write them all in different ways that appeal to a wide audience.

Your 'muse' is working well you should be thankful for that, a few years ago I was writing quite prolifically
then my muse left for a holiday which has been quite extended as she's still AWOL.
While the muse is working and stories are popping out you go for it and I will read it I too have not read
all your stories nor commented on them but I always leave a Kudos.
