I've only read the first chapter and I love it already!  I breifly read the comment before mine and I agree totally. You are a gifted writer and should be writing screenplays or movie scripts or something.

You are a very gifted writer. You should be writing screenplays for motion pictures.  Yours would be much better than the trash that is showing in the theaters nowadays.  Really...go for it.

The story was quite good and well developed.   it ended too quickly in chapter 7.

Comment by jillmi on 09/19/03
I would have preferred the story end after chapter six.

I just finished Part 7 of "Double Take" and am sorry to see the apparent conclusion of the series.  I am now hoping the main character "Sandy Lane" will reappear in a spin off series!

Wonderful ending.

I'd forgotten the shark tank in Arnold's parking lot.

Up until that episode (actually two episodes) they'd successfully passed the slightly built and soft spoken Fonzi off as a highly feared mega stud. He would have been the perfect actor for the typical CD story. A better Tootsie than Hoffman.

Happy Days ruined everyone's career. The stress caused the lead actor to lose his hair. The only ones that ever worked again were a short pudgy bit actor (Robin or William or something) who played an alien who said things like, "Nano-nano" and one of the girls (Penny Marshall) who could only get parts in movies when she was screwing the director. She later realized BEING the director was a better deal.

The offer is still open to edit your stories for more effective TG elements.

Part 5 of Double Take's endingleaves one to think you are seriosly considering ending it right there.  Please don't.

There is too much going to leave unresolved.  Sandy is still a suspect in buster's killing. Will he be caught, and if so, exonerated?  And the "new twist" on the TV series gives our "principa;s" room for a lot of new experiences.

Please keep it going.

I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every installment of the series "Double Take".  Character development has been excellent, and the future possibilities are endless.  I can only hope that the series will continue for some time!

Comment by Jill M I on 08/25/03
Another fun read.

Blond is masculine.

Blonde is feminine.

My dearest Amelia made me aware of that last winter.

Your stories miss so many obvious chances to take a TG bent. I'm beginning to believe that you really, really aren't TG. A non-TG writing for TGs about TGs. The blind leading the sighted.

On Part Four- fooling the police?  I dunno. Let's look at the record: the physical evidence includes a card, a contract, a brown wig, brown contacts, a negligee, and a Baretta. As was noted, plenty of sources for DNA evidence. Sandy Lane had ample motive for the killing, since he had been brutally attacked by Buster. Also, for reasons best known to him, he had flown  under his own name (?),and had returned from Honolulu just three hours after Buster's death(??). He also went out of his way to state very vehemently his feelings toward Buster, and Buster's death. Hello! With all due respect to the makeup lady, I'm not sure a fake nose would have been enough to save him. I know that the LAPD may not be the sharpest tools in the shed, but I think even they could have focused in on Sandy as a suspect. Good grief- Barney Fife could have come up with Sandy as a suspect! There's a little too much willing suspension of disbelief required here. Memo to Sandy: next time you kill someone, try not to leave so many obvious clues.

The only comment I have is that I would have liked to have seen a more developed section for the awards show Sandy and Toby attended.  Otherwise, some good development and a good twist to the story with the end of Buster C..

Great ending to part 3. I glad that sandy pop the slimball with no remorse, just got the job done and move on. Great balance between the massculinely and feminine of the Sandy character.

Comment by Andrea Foster on 08/03/03
Zow! In Episode 3, this great story has veered suddenly into the crime, revenge and redemption territory that this author has explored so successfully in previous stories. This change from the fairly light tone of the earlier episodes was well handled, and didn't jar, but it does leave me wondering how the author is going to bring this story to a climax.

Needless to say, I'm champing at the bit for Episode 4.

Comment by Julie Shaw on 08/03/03
Wonderful stories!  I have enjoyed all of your efforts, and just finished part 3 of the Surfer story -- WOW!  Your writing is so slick, it brings you right along the story without any unnecessary intrusions.  Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

Great read so far.  Solid character development and even better teaser scenes.

Keep up the good work Nom.

I like Norms middle of the road writing. A little sex, adventure, humor, what ever in the spare parts box at the time. So if you get burn out on the bunny humper or the Intense stories, come here for a rest.

Comment by Joanna on 07/29/03
The Continuing Saga, part one of 9?  I surely hope so.  creating a love/lust interest between the two stars is good.  I bet its  only a matter of time til our hero goes in for breast implants, and finds he can't balance on a board with his center thrown off!  Good Going, thank you.

Comment by Jan_Wytte on 07/28/03
Dear Nom De Plume:
Thanks for the teaser, for that is obviously what it is, a well written lead, in to a lot more adventure awaitng in the wings.  You have used a a random news item in some arcane magazine popular to a small niche group, and created an amusing, interesting and intriguing scenario. Another good story from the the keys of the Pen Name!

Comment by Happy Reader on 07/27/03
What an exciting story and original story.  Thank you for such a fine job of capturing our imiginations.  This is excellent writing and thinking!  Keep up the good work!

Comment by Nom de Plume on 07/27/03
Misti:  Thanks for the kind words.  In answer to your question, you will find a picture of the surfer who played the stunt double in Blue Crush, dressed in a bikini with his long blonde hair held by a scrunchie, in one of the back issues of Surfer magazine (can't tell you which issue). There is an amusing interview in which he describes what it was like being a chick for a while.  As you might have guessed, it gave me the idea for this story.  

Comment by Misti on 07/27/03
Dude! Loved the story- great setup- want to see where it goes. For all you skeptics out there- as the story points out, this does have a real-life basis. The producers of the movie Blue Crush (about a group of surfer chicks) were concerned about the authenticity of the surfing scenes and the abilities of the stars to carry it off. So... they hired a male surfer, crossdressed him, and had him (her?) be the stunt double. My interest was aroused when I heard of this. Oddly enough, when I checked the movie's Web site, there was no reference to it (wonder why not?) If anybody knows where I can access more info on this on the Net, please put a posting here - I'm sure Nom de Plume won't mind. I'd really like to see any photos of this, including (naturally for a Story Site fan) any before and after shots. Hey- maybe the surfer did look better as a chick.
