I LOVE'D THIS STORIES I WISHED IT WAS TRUE THAT MEN CAN EXPERENCE CHILD BIRTH

This story is too good not to finish.  Would you fans be willing to imagine and add or print in the comments how you would like to see the ending go?

Thank you for the compassionate way in which you wrote the story. I am one who sees the whole issue of topics discussed on the site to be of a traumatic nature and am glad this wasn't hid by piggishness nor a twisted perception of a sexual nature. It should still be of a loving nature and not regulated to stereotyping of deviant sexual behavior as expected by others. Hold true to love. Thank you.

Right, the operation was ok, and...................
I'll wait for the rest!!!!!!!

So do you think that the next installment will tell us (is there is one) that our rugby player is pregnet with his mothers child?

I enjoyed the story, and I wonder why four years have past and the author has not revisited this work in order to provide continuity or completion.

This tale was done (so far) in a loving and sensative manner.  The plot is interesting, and except for just one or two misspellings, the overall piece is well written.

I've come back to this "several" times during the last two years, and I still eagerly await the author's conclusion.

more finsh the the story

this is a work of art and should be awarded for it,s content i do hope that i do not have to wait long for the continued story ,keep up the good work .many thanks for the privilage to read this story.

I see you have a lot of admirers Karen Page.  Well, now you have one more to consder. So, please do finish this fantastically well written story ok?  I was so involved with it that when I reached the end of the last part I quite nearly went into shock! What? No more story?  

Like some of the others I was crying though most of it knowing that the poor boy was suffering from his own shock after losing his genetalia and his parents from the airport accident!  I really enojoy how you made him so very open minded and with intelligence as well as manners to boot!  

Keep writing Karen, I think you have a good start here and a good future as well as an author!

when is part 6 & 7 coming out

What happens Next?

PLEASE FINISH THE STORY

Karen, please, please finish your story about Charlotte, it is well written and very interesting. Excellent talent. Hugs to you, J-Lynn

Karen Page, you are cruel and heartless!  I mean that as a complement though.  I just finished reading ths story, A Different Plane of Existence, from start to end (had to look Somewhere Else to get the later chapters though).  Do you realise that you have made me run out of paper hankies, my nose and eyes are sore, I haven't been able to do a thing all day, and I am now suffering from severe dehydration?

I have never cried at a story so much in all my long life before already.  How could you?  Like I said, cruel and heartless.

And even a happy ending. Arghhhhh!   Sinister psychological manipulation, that's what I call it.

Sorry but I feel your slacking off this is a great story and we all want to see you continue with it.  Please Please hurry and get the next part finished and sent to Cyrstal.

 Verrrrry  good   ..... great story line and content ,,,,,

 peace  Rone

Love the story and hope you will continue it soon.Can't wait to see what happens next.

I love the story and wish that you would continue. I think you have kept us waiting long enough to find out what happens the next day.

I love it, more chapters please!
Great work!

a different and interesting type story than I normally read

Hi Karen
I simply loved your story so far. You have the makings of a talented writter. I've read all 4 chapters twice now. I cant wait to see what happens next so keep up the excellent writting.

Sincerely,
John

I notice you mention spelling nut must point out there some grammar that still might need to be looked at.  But so far a great story.  I truly enjoyed it and would love to see it continue.  Please Keep it up.

I loved it, well thought out plot. but you seem to switch from third person to first during the story, and for no appearent reason.
Well, it was inconsequential to the story. it was confusing to me.
I just love this story.

Hi Karen  :)

Love your story.

Hugs, Fran

Be careful with your first-person/third-person narration switches.  It's not right the way you've done it in part 4, too confusing.  You suddenly drop paragraphs of first-person thoughts by Simon in the middle of an otherwise third-person narration.  

Gripping! It isn't what I normally think of reading on Crystal's site, but it kept me scrolling up the story to the end of the chapter.

You did nearly lose me, when you had Jason (or someone else) ask young Simon, when did you go into puberty? and the lad knew the answer. Maybe conditions are different on the two sides of the Atlantic.

It is a fascinating story so far.  I look forward to future parts.  It is a good perspective for those of us who wish something like this would happen- to see a viewpoint of someone who thinks its the worst thing in the world.

Brill loved it. Its a sad story but well told.Blimey dont those yanks nit pick over stuff . Ok with my writing  well its straight out of the back alley of English.I think Grammar is my mum or dads mum,but yours is good as far as I can see.Anyhow spot on girl go for I THINK ITS GREAT. I await the coming of the next story part . To any of the wally s out there who may read this ( SOME TRANNYS ARE DUMB  TOO)not turning of Mobiles ect on planes .People, when  the cabin crew  tell you to do something on a plane its for a reason. I fly but I know there is not much keeping them things up there ,so dont make it worse by not turning mobiles ect off when told. You my dear must be in the Resuce game sounds like it you seem to know your stuff. You must get the next story part out soon I am hooked. More Please

Hi All,

Thank you for your comments.  Comments I find are very important to the authors as it helps us refine our skills.

First of I am English, so people across the Atlantic might find that words are spelt correctly for once!

The other point somebody made is about this being a boy injured and needing him to be a female.  Well as part 2 and 3 are published you will notice that he is indeed a male stuck in a female body and therefore reacts like a F2M transsexual.  Just because he no longer has a penis doesn’t make him female.  It’s what is in the mind and spirit that counts!

Hugs

This is a fine start to a very fine first story.  Good use of detail to paint an atmospheric background.  Looking forward to more chapters!

Could I be forgiven for posting a minor gripe here about this plot device in tg fiction?  I know it's become one of the "standards" already, the boy-injured-so-badly-he-HAS-to-become-a-girl plot, but it bothers me because it's just not true.  The reality is that we are who we are, inside.  Someone who identifies as a boy or as a girl is not necessarily going to want to switch camps simply due to a medical mishap.  As a matter of fact, there are LOADS of people who identify strongly with a sex that doesn't accurately match their genitalia.  Why, there're even a few who are said to hang out here.  FTMs suffer a great deal to be the men they feel inside, and a new wave are doing so without primary SRS, both due to the expense and the generally poor results.  Would a damaged male-identifying genetic male be any less successful at enjoying his remaining maleness than they are?  It's just a question.  I don't have an answer.
I do understand that this plot device is just a guilt-free way of indulging a fantasy.  "There wasn't any other option."  It would be better, I think, if the protagonist at least was ambivalent to start with.  At least then, the character would have a guilt-free trip to the other side, and not just us, the readers.

Good start! Storyline is well done. Characters are a little thin yet but this is only the start. Spelling and grammar checking might remove some minor distractions. I am eagerly looking forward to your next posting.

What brilliant writing.  I live in the area and yes Gatwick is served by East Surrey Hospital and all the other rescue and medical details sound plausible; I'm certainly not qualified to dispute anything.
Excellent opening and I'm really looking forward further installments.

 Karen,

 You have a fantastic beginning here.
 There could be a bit more character developement, but as tyhey say, that is but ONE person's opinion.  The details of the rescue lead me to believe you are involved in this sort of work and know what you are speaking of.
 Well done for certain.
