Contributions from our readers keep BigCloset operating. But we're very short for August, three days left and only 65% of our contribution target received. It's very tight.

If you can help, it will be appreciated. And please, be safe.

Cash contributions from our members keep BigCloset operating. But we're very short for July, two days left and barely 60% of our contribution target received. It's always tight.

If you can help, it will be appreciated. And please, be safe.

Cash contributions from our members, including our Patreon, is how we keep BigCloset operating. We get Patreon mostly on the 2nd or 3rd of the month. We're down to about $600 in our bank account, so we're basically broke.

If you can help, it will be appreciated. And please, be safe.

Hi there, Big Closet family.
I've finally managed to get the emotional help I need to kick the abusive asshole out of my life (I was doing the usual abused person thing of circling back to their abuser, hoping they will be better...). But as my housing was with him, I'm needing to find a place again. I'm sick and tired of depending on other people for my housing stability, so I am looking for a place for just me.

I am not an Author only a reader who enjoys reading the work of those talented people who post on BC. Every time I go to BC's web site I notice the Hatbox status bar and wonder how few times it has obtained its monthly goal. BC's admin has posted requests asking for us to contribute to help meet the finical obligations that are necessary in running this site. I notice on the left side of the main page there are several options available to us readers to contribute to BC. I have used the "One-TIme GIft" a few times in the past but I am not a fan of PAYPAL so I looked into becoming a PATRON.

Yesterday when beginning a new project, we introduced an error that caused intermittent errors over-night. We managed to track down the issue before noon, but decided to then do regular Drupal module updates. Un-beknownst to us, these updates introduced several new issues and errors that caused even worse outages that were not very apparent to us.

Those of you who log-in to the site might have noticed SEARCH not working. Those who were not logged in, did not notice.

It took quite a while to figure out when/where this action did/did not work (as the logs are not helpful when trying to discern logins and whatnot when the system is as distributed as ours). Once I figured that fact, I tracked down the bad code, and fixed it.

Don't ask more, it was extremely tedious, and my brain hurts.

We need money today to prevent an overdraft. Two bills that were not supposed to hit our accounts until after the first hit today and we are overdrafted, we need about $1900 to prevent hundreds of dollars of overdraft fees.

Please, if you can help, today would be the day to do it.

You can use the links in the right side column or make a One Time Gift here:

Thanks,
Erin, Piper, Cat, Jamie, and all the BigCloset crew.

Erinn has posted chapters 7-14 of Life of Avery tonight. All but the latest chapter have been moved off the front page. You can find all the new and old chapters under the title page:

I'm thankful for all the people who come to the site and to all who write and post and to all who help me keep this place going.

God bless us every one.

HUgs,
Erin

For the last two, almost three, weeks, BigCloset email has been intermittent. Sometimes not sending emails for people signing up or changing passwords or sending blank messages. It took us a while to even notice it but for the past week or so we have been working on this problem.

We think we've got it solved so if you tried to sign-up or change your password in the last couple of weeks and never got the email to complete the process, or got a blank one, please try again.

Latest chapter of The Mermaid's Treasure available at Patreon/BigCloset

I marveled that I had been able to get through the rather narrow door between the two cabins with a butt like that. I turned around and looked at it over my shoulder, pulling my hair out of the way because it was long enough to obscure the view.

This is different. :)

We're getting ready to launch a new and somewhat improved Hatbox as a repository of premium stories donated to us. For that, we'd like to have some new stories. I'm working on a couple myself. If you're interested in contributing stories to be read first as Hatbox Premiums, you can contact me or Cat Lochley via PM. Stories made available to Hatbox subscribers can later be published to BigCloset (for free) or DopplerPress (to earn royalties).

Hugs,
Erin and Cat

These guys: http://forum.silicone-breast.com/viewforum.php?f=11 seem to be publishing stories from BCTS without permission. Everything here is automatically copyrighted in the name of the author so these guys are violating federal law. At least two authors have complained to me and I have sent a takedown request via the site's Contact Us link.

I am sure that several other authors are having stories posted without their permission. Have a look and send them a takedown notice.

Hugs,
Erin

Hey everyone! I know quite a lot of users here are quite technical, and many have their own websites, so I thought it was important to post this here.

Because Sephrena is an important part of the community here, people should know that there is a situation involving her that may turn more serious or may be soon resolved. We're not comfortable sharing details at the moment but will try to keep everyone appropriately informed.

Hugs to all,
And especially Sephrena,

Time for a small story challenge before people get serious about the Christmas contest. The theme is Everyday Costumes and it's up to you what exactly that means. We've had a few entries, check them out by clicking on the tag in the header above.

Some suggestions:

A superhero's costume is altered by an evil tailor.
A crossdresser's wish comes true in an unexpected way.
Two people dress as each other for Halloween.
A character in a long running soap opera comes to life.
A special Halloween costume shop is run by an old guy in a bathrobe.

Some years ago I was running a tabletop RPG in which my players were exploring an underground ocean. They had their own ship and were attacked by another ship. The crew of the pirate ship seemed to be made up of human-sized spiders carrying cutlasses and firing muskets. Except some of them seemed to come out of nowhere and attack with nunchuks, sais and shurikens. And some of them seemed to be undead and unkillable.

During the course of the battle one of the players said, "Wait, wait! Stop! We're fighting Zombie, Ninja, Pirate Spiders?"

Rule One: Keep it friendly.

Rule Two: Give the benefit of the doubt.

Rule Three: Remember, it isn't about you.

How to complain...

Hugs to all,
Erin
