TYRONE, I AM GLAD THAT CAROLYN AND ANGEL FINALLY WED. HIS CATATONIA FROM FACING HIS PAST CAUSES COMPLICATIONS THAT THANKS TO HIS SWEET SISTER HE IS NOW COMPLETE. HIS DEMON GONE. NOW JOHNNIE IS TAKING OVER ANGEL'S TASK OF AVENGING THE HURT. TYRONE, IS THERE A CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF STORIES?

Comment by STANLEY MORTON on 10/12/07
TYRONE, I MUST ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN THE "GROUP" ITS VERY OWN VERSION OF DIANA HUNTER IN JOHNNIE. THE FACT THAT HE IS STEP BROTHER TO CAROLYN, WIFE OF ANGEL GIVES HIM A LEGACY TO UPHOLD. I KNOW THAT DIANA STAYED IN WOMAN FORM BECAUSE OF THE SISTERHOODS POSSIBLE ATTACKS ON HER FRIENDS. I HOPE THAT JOHNNIE DOES NOT HAVE THAT SAME BURDEN THRUST UPON HIM. THE WAY THAT THE GROUP'S WAR AGAINST TRANS-TALENT ENDS IN ANGEL'S FALL REVEALS THE FACE TO BE THAT OF HIS BITCH MOTHER. NOW THAT HIS FATHER IS DEAD, HOW WILL ANGEL FIGHT HIS INNER DEMON?

Comment by STANLEY MORTON on 10/11/07
TYRONE,I LOVE THE WAY ANGEL BEFRIENDS HIS FORMER ENEMY. SHE HATED HIM, NOW SHE IS AN ALLY, BUT WHAT OTHER ALLIES DOES HE NEED? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT JO ELLEN AND M.I.B.D.? THE WAY THE OTHER GROUP MEMBERS ARE SETTING UP AB ENTERPRISES IS NEAT, AND LOOKS LIKE ANGEL NOW HAS AN HEIR TO HIS LEGACY IN JOHNNIE. ME, I HOPE THAT ANGEL AND CAROLYN START A FAMILY

Comment by STANLEY MORTON on 10/11/07
WELL, I WAS RIGHT. ANGEL BECOMES DEATH ANGEL TO SEEK REVENGE ON THE ENEMY. JOHNNIE'S RECOVERY IS NICE TO SEE. MAKES ME FEEL GOOD KNOWING THAT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WORKS A MIRACLE OR TWO. TYRONE, GREAT SAGA. I HOPE YOU FIND THE TIME TO TELL ANGEL'S BEGINNING AND HOW HE MET FRANK AND SAMANTHA.

WELL TYRONE, IN PART 3 MARIA'S SON IS TARGETED BY HER ENEMIES USING A LOCAL HOODLUM. TO RESCUE HIM AND SET TRANS TALENT UP, MARIA MUST CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM WHILE THE LEADS TO AUSTRALIA ARE TRACKED DOWN. HER SON IS DISGUISED AS A BLACK FRENCH CANADIAN GIRL THAT HEADS TO THE CARTERS TO BECOME AN ALL TOGETHER DIFFERENT GIRL FOR HER TEMPORARY STAY. STEVE DUMBAR AND HIS FRIEND HEAD OFF TO RESCUE THE POOR GIRL THAT WAS KIDNAPPED. NOW SHE AND THE SHE-MALE JILL WILL BE LADY JEANS GUESTS FOR AWHILE. NOW, DO THEY RETURN JILL TO A NORMAL BOY, HELP HIM TRANSIT INTO A GIRL OR HELP HIM TO COPE WITH BEING WHAT HE IS? YOU MUST ADMIT THAT JILL'S JOURNEY IF NOT HANDLED HERE, WILL MAKE FOR ANOTHER ANGEL-VERSE STORY

Comment by STANLEY MORTON on 10/09/07
WELL, TYRONE, IN CHAPTER 2THE EVIL CREATORS OF TRANS TALENT SIMPLY SEE THEMSELVES AS BUSINESS MEN AND WOMEN. WONDER HOW THEY WOULD LIKE IT IF THEIR CHILDREN WERE USED. MARIA DUPREE, OWNER OF A BIONIC SKIN REFUSES TO DO BUSINESS WITH TRANS TALENT. SHE IS A LIVING BARBIE DOLL WHO LOVES HER SON. HER SECURITY GUARDS LARRY AND SEAN GET INTO ACTION WHEN THEY SEE THAT THEIR BOSS IS THREATENED AND MADAME J. THE MISTRESS THAT ANGEL STOPPED IS BACK CREATING JOHNNIE TO JILL. THE STAR IS THE HEIR TO A FORTUNE THAT NOE LOOKS LIKE A GIRL AND IS ADDICTED TO DRUGS. ONLY QUESTION IS WHERE IS ANGEL WHILE THIS IS GOING ON? THAT IS ONLY DRAWBACK HERE. OTHER THAN THAT, GREAT READING. PLEASE ON BIG CLOSET, EDIT THE STORY LIKE YOU HAVE HERE.

Comment by STANLEY MORTON on 10/09/07
WOW! IN PART 1 WE SEE ANGEL RECAP HIS MISSIONS BEFORE OTHER "GROUP" MEMBERS. WE ALSO MEET HIS LADY LOVE WHOM HE PROPOSES TOO. HER LOVE IS PROVEN WHEN SHE RACES TO ANGEL'S SIDE AFTER HIS LAST MISSION WHERE HE ALMOST DIES FROM A GRENADE ATTACK. WE ALSO MEET JOHNNIE, A VICTIM OF TRANSTALENT AND THE EVIL BITCH THAT ANGEL STOPPED EARLIER. WE ALSO MEET THE LADY AND HER SECURITY GUARD AGAIN AS WELL A A CAMEO BY ACCIDENTAL MOM CAROL. I HOPE CAROL SHOWS UP MORE OFTEN. WELL, WONDER WHAT THE NEXT CHAPTER HAS IN STORE FOR US. GREAT SAGA TYRONE. READS LIKE A M.I.B.D. STORY.

Just wondeful so sad the hit at the wedding his/her dad being killed. This is a great story all of them

Comment by Elizabeth Rees on 08/14/04
A well-written, enjoyable story, with the multiple viewpoints making it much more like a 'real' story. Even the addition of all those characters from earlier stories felt natural, not forced.

Comment by Slothrop on 08/13/04
Pulling this together, with all the characters and threads was worth it just to read your comment. To know that someone has actually read all those diverse stories means I have connected in some small way. Bringing them all together in this one was a tremendous amount of fun, and now I know it wasn’t just for me.

Yes, the add on stories by JulieO, Bluto, Valentina Smith and Gwen Lavyril (and with any luck, soon Jezzi Belle Stewart and her Vaingirls) will be arriving, JulieO’s has already been posted up on Big Closet, and it is likely they could appear either there or on Storysite first.

So, Ally Burns and Beth, Laura and Harold, Diana Hunter and the Men In Black Dresses and a wild new character from Gwen all meet Angel and play in his world. It should be a treat for those who like those series.

And yes, I enjoyed the Seasons stories, which made them worthy of a little fun. While I don’t agree with Aunt Jane’s methods (I think it would be better if she just told the kids what was coming and played it straight, but that’s just me. I never had a problem with the concept of challenging the behavior pattern by changing the boys reality a bit, just tell them that’s the rule, take it or go. The slaps and deceit were unnecessary for me) I thought they were extremely well written, and the characters well developed. And, despite her manipulative ways, she did mean well.

I hope you can forgive me making an ‘alternate universe’ gentle parody of the “Seasons” game, it was too much fun, plus I always wanted one of those boys to get the better of her, just once.

Ah, the “TG fiction authors”. My, I must say there is a logic to the ones you have picked, but I can neither confirm or deny you choices, not wanting vile things to happen to me. Suffice it to say Diabla Malley does decode. You might check Big Closet for authors. And Johnnie and those characters have at least an outline of a story done.

Angel has peace, but peace never lasts.

Thank you again for the wonderful comment, as well as reading all those stories. It’s good to know even the early stuff (and I really need to fix the really bad first draft syntax in the Random Victories series) is remembered, apparently somewhat fondly.

Tyrone (if I may be so personal),

I just wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed reading this, and all of your Angel stories.  I enjoy most of the Seasons house oeuvre too, so I have found the direction of your work fascinating.  I'm so glad Angel has finally found someone to love and some peace.

I have read your Miss M stories, and Lady Jean's story, and the Filler connection, so I particularly enjoyed the interweaving of these lives.  I noticed your comments about the five stories to come, and I just can't wait!  Are JulieO's Beth and family going to kick some tail near DC?  I can guess where Bluto's 'heroine' will be going.  And Angel interacting with the Men In Black Dresses.  Ooh, I'm making up my own plotlines just sitting here!

On another note, I have also enjoyed your, umm, interest in Jane Thompson and her literary clan.  I keep looking for references in every Angel story.  I also enjoyed the TG fem-dom writers employed by TransTalent.  'Pooh-Thing' must be 'Tigger', while 'Nickie Seabird' has to be 'Vickie Tern'.  But who is Diabla Malley supposed to be?  Have I missed someone obvious?  I do so hate to overlook any clue in anything.  (This makes me hell to watch mysteries with, but my SO manages somehow. :-)

Thanks for giving us all of your (and Miss M's) realities,
Diane

Comment by Pippa K. on 08/12/04
Not the easiest read on this site, this story is quite epic in scope.  There's lots of good stuff in it, in the way the characters interact and overcome their torments and demons.  There's a delicate balance necessary between the narrative flow of the story and the internal hand-wringing, which is admittedly difficult.  While always interesting, it seems to have faded too far in one direction and to be missing some of the tension, joy and fluidity of the earlier Angel stories.  This doesn't mean I didn't like it, only that I had to push myself past several resistance points to get there, and found it taking almost as much out of me as I got from it.  The infinitely available resources for the good guys is very Hollywood, so I don't suppose we should be critical of that, and the sci-fi techie details are necessary to the story, even if they sometimes took too much explaining.  My only suggestion, as unworthy as I am to make it, would be to hint more at the underlying darknesses and pains and to detail
their historical detail a tiny bit less.  It might make for a snappier read.  It's often better to let viewers bring their own horror to the fright flicks than to try to dictate it.  Overall, though, a great, ambitious barn-burner of a yarn!  Thanks.

Comment by Cathy_t_ on 08/11/04
I have refrained from commenting on this epic, only because I would have been repeating myself after each engrossing chapter.  I can restrain myself no longer.

Ty, this is indeed a masterpiece(or should that be mistresspiece?)worthy of the best in our shared genre.  I vividly remember you giving me a small glimpse at the beginnings of this and my reaction at the time.

I can now state, with a completely clear conscience that I was mistaken and THAT proves that one should NEVER judge a book by it's cover.(neat segue quote, huh?)

You wove a delicate and engaging tapestry, including your characters from many other tales, and did so in the style of mastery I have come to expect from any story with your name on it, as author.

I'm just afraid that you have set the bar so high, for yourself, that you will not be able to clear it, but I am hopeful that you will not only clear that bar, but surpass it with each tale that comes from your talented mind.

It seems so inadequate to simply say thank you for all your hard work, but it's the best I can come up with, considering the lump in my throat and the blurred vision, caused by the tears you forced from me, in the process of reading this story, so Thank you Ty.  Very much.

A red eyed, but happy Cathy_t_ said that.(damn!  Now I gotta go fix my mascara!  Grrrrr!)

Comment by Dave Ingram on 08/10/04
I really enjoyed this.
It was strange to find this story on this web-site.
The authors comments at the end of the last chapter are highly relevant.
I now understand why I do not like so much of the fiction posted
here, dealing as it does with forced transition.
I get the feeling that for some female authors the act of forcing
a male to become feminine is some kind of weird revenge for
real or imaginary wrongdoing by a male.

Many thanks for re-dressing the balance.
