9F6Bwg It as remarkable to pay a quick visit this web site and reading the views of all friends concerning this paragraph, while I am also eager of getting experience.

j3hSYt Loving the info on this site, you have done outstanding job on the articles.

tj9omH This page truly has all the info I needed concerning this subject and didn at know who to ask.

A great story that brought my emotions to surface, I feel the very ending was wrong, Erica and Jack should have at least survived to know their assailant died at his own hand for the mistake he had made.  This is one of the very few stories you have ever shown with a sad ending.  Yes, it is a reality that these things happen but I have come to expect closure and happiness as a mark of your writings.  Perhaps if I had read these stories in the order they were published I might better understand.

This story is very much like your story "ALL DRESSED UP" . Janet, no crtiiquing on retelling a story, you make each one stand alone.

Here, you have told of the pitfalls of having a dad unwilling to accept his son's feminity. Emily becomes a lady and blossoms into womanhood Poor Erica was lost because of hatred. Janet, I hate it when death occurs in your stories. If only Erica had lived.

  Very interesting and to the point ....  for those that don,t understand they should read this .....  sad end and or a good end ?
you decide ...

thank you xoxoxoxoxoxox  Rone  :)

A really nice emotional workout, and I'm glad I read it, but it's very sloppily written as it appears here, to the point of distraction: Mr Wilson becomes Mr Watson three-quarters of the way through the story; about half a dozen characters use "I" in sentences when they mean "he", "she" or even "they", and you keep using "I" instead of "me" when it's the object of a sentence or a preposition ("between him and I" should be "between him and me").

I know this is five years old and I suspect from the lack of comments that it was transferred here from another site, but it really deserves better treatment.

Eric

Your story, "Emily", made the tears come.  I can empathize with nearly everyone in the story (even Erica's farher).  The yearning to cross the gender barrier is little different than yearning to cross the religious barrier from ego to god (mystics do it).  Externally the public sees both as journeys into madness if the self is lost, but going part-way (and keeping hold of the self) is a trip into ecstacy.  You are an energetic writer and I like most of your stories even if they do seem to be assembled out of standard themes.  Real lives are more diverse, but have some terribly dull periods.  Thanks to both you and Crystal for your efforts.
