Big Closet

BigCloset TopShelf (informally Big Closet) is an online communal database of transgendered fiction originally founded by Erin Halfelven in June, 2001. Since its inception, the site has undergone three separate iterations, Big Closet Original (present-day archive of older material), Big Closet Classic (established in 2004) and BigCloset TopShelf (central community hub). As of 2021, BCTS houses in excess of 36,000 original stories including short fiction, novellas, serials and complete novels. In 2007, a publishing division, DopplerPress, was formed to distribute Kindle ebooks via Amazon.com.
