Hi Denise,

I really enjoyed your story, it was well laid for the arch that you intended.  The characters were flushed out enough to have the needed life for each of them. Although, I must say that I was a little surprised that the ending wasn't a little more expansive, it really felt to be down played and that there were some missed opportunities that could have been explored a little more.  I would really like to see a continuation of this stories' characters, say in a pick up of them after about 5 years passage.  It would be a great read I think, all of them at different places/stages in their lives, some with changes to themselves from their past experience and others moving in new directions.

otp5bg Simply  wanna comment  that you have a very  decent  site, I  love  the  style  it really  stands out.

71NGOB I really like and appreciate your post.Thanks Again. Great.

great story..would love a sequel

A very absorbing story depicting the feminine thought process.A story without any obscene sex. I liked it. However, the crossdressing is only for the bet. Does Ted enjoy it? How Tess feels about the whole exercise in feminity? Does compulsion out of ego turn into compulsive feminity?

another nice story .

I really enjoyed your story. So much so, that I read it through in one sitting.  

There were a couple of bumps in the road, items that felt a little out of place.  Items that distracted me for just a moment. The first was how Kate suddenly showed up inside Tess' house without having a key, and the second was the quick and universal discovery of Tess' real gender by the patrons and owner at the Women's Club. But, the sweet smoothness of the story line swept me past those bumps with very little effort. It probably helps that I love musicals, where reality is often sidestepped in favor of the general feelings that are being created.

I hoped that Kate and Tess would get married and live happily ever after.  Maybe Ted got that promotion, but it was to the visiting executive's office that had seen Tess while he was visiting at Elaine's office. I was sad that the story ended, but inside I was left with a warm sweetness from the way your character's relationships grew closer with the enjoyment of the wager.

Thank you for writing a simple, happy story.

cool site man

Um. So?! He never had much aspirations to dress in feminine clothes, he is just gullible and lets himself be dressed for a bet. For a day and a week.

At the end, after numerous occasions where people claim it´s nearly impossible to discern his 'true male origin' because he makes such a convincing female. Then he accompanies one of his 'friends' to a lesbian hangout where the patrons _immediately_ see through his 'disguise', because -of course- they have super powers, and these women take offense!! The blasphemy.. To wear a skirt. Oh, the nerve.

But hey! It's acceptable, because he isn't one of those wretched degenerate transvestites or cross-dressers, right?! You see, he's only a poor deluded male, who is duped and lured in a silly bet, no harm, no foul.

Oh young grasshopper, what did you learn? Well master, there's a difference in how men and women dress, and what they aim to accomplish with it. Thank you most honoured one, a veil has been lifted.
Really, fumbling fledgling?! Well now you know, aren't you happy? There is a difference, and you can use this knowledge to have a fulfilling life.

Gah.. I miss the pointe!

So I don't know?
This bet? what was it about?
A lure to get him together with someone, Kate?
A try for humiliation?

I mean Kate seems rather dominating even if with a very vauge intent.
Normally there are some kind of a plot to a story, but I seem to have missed it here.

I never got a feeling for what it was all about.
More than a guy getting 'taught' how to crossdress?

Cheers
Yoron.

Very well done.  Sequel please.

the story was great it is amazing how coperative that ted was even after only a minor disagreement I think a sequel would be a great idea
well done and well written

what a lovely story you must continue with this, a sequel would be great. it is such a nice change to read a story with a gentle theme. also atale with respect for other people. many thanks

I'd like to echo Rosemary's comment.  It is indeed refreashing to find a gentle author in the subject of feminization.  I experienced a worm feeling as I read along.  I hope you post a sequal soon.  It's hard to leave Ted/Tess where you did and not long to hear more about his feminine life.

Love, Laura

What a wonderful story! I loved the way Tess gradually came to accept herself and how the gentle, yet insistent, prodding on the part of her co-workers slowly wore her down. It's well-written, with great characterizations, some terrific dialog, excellent details about feminine challenges in the workplace and a real change in Tess' inner self as the tale progresses. I've read it three or four times already and will read it again many times, I'm sure.  Wonderful job!

I read this story earlier on Fictionmania or Nifty and enjoyed it then; I enjoyed it all over again now.  I want to see the further adventures of Tess.  keep up the good work.

How refreshing and lovely to have such a gentle Fem/Dom writer.

A great start. You took your time, which makes a story more interesting. Perhaps, for the perfectionist, the ending was a little inconclusive but.... I enjoyed it and missed an appointment becauseI wanted to know what happened next.

Thank you

luv

This is a VERY good story for a first posting.  I can only assume Denise is already an established writer elsewhere.  There are parts that may seem a bit far-fetched, but this IS a wish-fulfillment genre, after all.  Over all, the writing style is excellent: it has a comfortable tone to it without sacrificing technical form.

Where do I start?  I love workplace TG/CD, of course.  This story may require a certain suspension of disbelief, but not much.  I didn't see anything terribly cruel in the way Ted's friends turned him into Tess, and in fact, he seemed to rather enjoy making the change. It was femdom but very, gentle.

The narrative seized on the too-rarely invoked idea of crossdressing as "fun" and a way to learn the female side of things.  It was great to not see the too-often invoked XXX business that often seems the only way of ending these stories, with the guy forced into sex with a guy.  That's too easy an ending.  

While I admit it would be interesting to see "Tess" having to function in a secretarial position (through a layoff), subordinate to his co-workers (with a lot of goodnatured kidding), that's just my thing.  What we need to see is where Tess goes next.  Don't keep us waiting so long!

Hi Denise,

I liked the story. The theme is well thought out. IMHO it SEEMED a little too easy for the poor fellow in some ways (only one person - that I remember - voicing prejudices) and a little too nasty in others. (that REAL friends would treat a person that way - slowly but methodically feminizing their friend) It seemed to end on a positive note though, which was welcome. Thank you.
