Orlando

I just finished watching Sally Potter's masterful retelling of Virginia Woolf's novel, Orlando. For those of you that don't know it, the plot concerns a man (Tilda Swinton), who is commanded by Queen Elizabeth I, played delightfully here by Quentin Crisp, to stay forever young, which he/she proceeds to do. I say he/she because halfway through the 400 year timeline of the plot, he wakes up female. She looks in the mirror and states "Same person, just a different sex". You can see why I thought that it might appeal to the habitues of this site.

Story search Witches, transformation, telekenetic powers, Las Vegas..

So there is this old story that I believe was never finished that I am out searching for. What I remember is this guy who secretly has telekinetic powers transformed accidently by this pretty young woman. He is Physically flawless and a few times held captive because the family (witches) does not know what to do with her. I know she escapes, to Vegas, I know she has the ability to float high in the air but if she looses concentration falls.
As much as my feeble mind can remember. Gary

Looking for a distraction - LOTR

Trying to distract myself last night, my mind stopped on the clothing designs for Galadriel and Arwen's costumes that Paula described in her excellent story - Fashion Star. Now, I haven't seen the movies so I don't have a clue what was designed for them but I have read the novels and I just couldn't picture the need for crinolines with the sort of outfits Tolkien described. So like anybody these days, I turned to Google for the answer.

Where oh where is Renae at...

I've just finished re-reading Renae's superb partial stories, 'After the Ashes' and 'First Among Fools' and thought I'd try to see if she's on BC these days. They are wonderful stories and I'm REALLY REALLY hoping that she will find the wherewithal to finish them one day!

If you have not read them I highly recommend them to you. I have to warn you that they ARE unfinished at present however and will probably leave you with withdrawal symptoms afterwards. lol

Kudos & Random Solos

Don't know if they're connected, but I've noticed that the Kudos counts for stories are way down the RH column now, where they used be at the top above the author's story list. Whether this has anything to do with the unremovable Random Solos on the front page I don't know. I did notice one "Random Solo" that popped up on the home page for me earlier was Part 2 of a story, I don't remember which story it was, sorry. So I can't say if the story was classified wrong or if it might be a bug in the feature.

Annoyed with my family

So I went to my mums for dinner tonight, it being Mother's Day and all. It was myself, mum, her boyfriend, my sister, her boyfriend and my 2yo nephew. We were sitting around the lounge room drinking coffee, and somehow they got onto the topic of teaching Hunter (my nephew) the difference between a boy and a girl, based on general appearance. All this time, I'm sitting there thinking "he's 2, he doesn't give a damn, and that's the way it should be" (I'm an equalist). But then the funniest thing happened, my sister has started going around, asking him what each person is, a boy or a girl.

Help finding a story

I need help finding an old story. As I remember: there is a mother with a son and daughter. They are rich with a large corporate company. The son is the best mind and talent to take over but the mother of males. Consequently she has the son transformed into a woman. His problem is that she didn't trust enough to ask. There is a young woman that was rescued by the mother and is working and living in the household. The son and woman eventually marry I think in Minn. There are a couple attacks on the home/mansion using ATV's to approach.

TG Photographs

Hello, I saw this item on the Daily Mail website. I have a copy of Mariette Pathy Allen’s book ‘Transformations’ from years ago. The article is a positive one and the best rated comments are also positive.

Here’s the link:

Search

Things are probably not stabilized, but I was wondering if "Search" functionality would be coming back? One of the first things that attracted me to Big Closet was that it was searchable, unlike some other story sites. Now, I can live without it, but it would be nice.

A trailer on Youtube

I happened upon this trailer on Youtube that reminded me of something I could find here. It was titled "Werewoman Teaser" It is almost as if one of our authors created the plot, a man turns into a woman for the week that his female room mates have their period. The women have lived together long enough that they all are synchronized. The trailer was well made and created as a fund raiser for the video. See what you think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY8mdxzHp2A

Whately having problems?

Can someone explain why, when going to Crystal Hall's main page you are directed to a page claiming that this is an adult site and you are then given a number of links to various iterations of Big Closet? This is deeply odd, Whately Academy's own site appears to have died.

Anonymous Plans Internet Blackout

"This video below with Hillary Clinton, encourages an internet ‘unplug’ tomorrow, Monday, April 22, 2013, in protest of CISPA. I’ll be turning off my laptop, in great anticipation, and will be curious to see, not only if the blackout occurs, but to see what I may or may not accomplish during a day without the internet."

Video and the entire blog can be found here:
