One Year

---

Well I logged in this morning and noticed that I've been a member of BCTS a year now. I was a little surprised by this since that time seems to have flown by. There's something special about this place it's not just a place for posting stories it's a community and I'm really grateful to be a part of that. I'd like to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome this last year.

Well off I go... Work beckons...

Alien Invasion

---

I was hoping you, the good folks of BCTS, could help me out with a slight dilemma.

Insomnia

---

I may have mentioned it here in the past, but I suffer from frequent bouts of Insomnia.

Ragnarok Rising Letdown

---

As much as I hate to do this. I need to step back from Ragnarok Rising for a while. I do still plan on finishing the final story, but I've lost some of my enthusiasm for the story and I need to take a break so I can return to it with a fresh perspective.

But that doesn't mean I won't be writing. Far from it. In fact, I contacted EnemyofFun last night about writing in his Dark Realms Universe and he's agreed to let me write on a 'new' type of Unseen or 'monster'.

What's in an alias?

---

I'm curious what some of the usernames around here mean. I've seen a number of interesting aliases and wondered at the significance of them. A good portion of them I sure are just made up names which have no real meaning, but not all. So what is the significance of your username?

Why am I asking this? Well it's spurred by people's own curiosity over my own username. I've already been asked about it a number of times and I was asked again today.

So what exactly does my username mean?

Developing slang...

---

Well, I've developed a few slang words for the final chapter in my Ragnarok Rising trilogy and I've become a bit conflicted on one particular slang word.

First, let me explain. The protagonist for this story is eighteen and I figured that he and his friends would be much more prone to using slang words than other previous characters. So I developed some terms like splurged, thatched, maer, frizz, and Rekk.

Final Ragnarok Rising Story Update…

---

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything other than a Morpheus story.

Okay well, Morpheus isn't actually here on BigCloset, but some of his stories will be shortly. I've attained permission from Morpheus to post them here. I'll likely be starting with his Legacy series. I probably won't post them very quickly (once a week tops). If you have any stories of his you'd like to see posted here give me a ring and I might be persuaded to post it. Also, I tend to be a little forgetful so if you don't hear from me in a while it might be a good idea to give me a good poking.

Splitting up a story…

---

Okay, originally this was posted as part of another blog, but I didn't receive any responses concerning this matter. So, I'm re-posting it as it's own blog.

Word Processors…

---

I'm curious what word processors people use. In the past I've used various incarnations of MS Word and WordPerfect, but I've since gone open source and went to OpenOffice.org and now LibreOffice.

Okay, well the 'fix' for Transfigured is moving along fine. The parallel stories idea just didn't seem to pan out as my muse was very uncooperative when I attempted to take this route. So, what form will the rewrite take? Aryanna will be the narrator of the entire story. She will tell Flint and Derek's stories. Thus far I've rewritten about a third of the story, but what I have rewritten may see some rather drastic changes so I would be surprised if the rewrite will be finished anytime soon.

Well I'm looking for a bit of feedback on this idea concerning Transfigured and a possible rewrite.

Thought I'd post a quick update and tell everyone that the sequel to Incompatible is finished. As I mentioned before it's roughly half the length of incompatible at almost 12,000 words. Once the story is edited I will post it as soon as humanly possible.

For those that haven't read my previous blog entry, the title for this particular story will be 'Transfigured: Makings of a Spellbinder'.

Well I thought I'd post an update and tell you folks that I'm almost finished with the sequel to Incompatible. The main part of the story is finished I just need to tie up some lose ends and maybe add a few details. I hope to have it completed by the end of next week, but it just depends on my schedule and how much writing I get done. The Sequel will be roughly half the length of Incompatible, but is an important bridge between the first and last stories.

Well, I was nearly fifteen pages into the sequel to Incompatible when I realized, much to my chagrin, that I didn't like the direction in which the story was headed. I decided to rework things a bit and now I only have eight pages of story.
