Comment by Angie on 06/10/15
What a fun story! Nice job, Valentina. Oh, and in answer to you, Briar, there were 14 jurors because it is standard practice to have 12 jurors and 2 alternates in case one of the jurors cannot complete the case. Comment by Ricky on 01/05/13 Pina Coladas and Palm Trees {Destination Wedding Photographer  Well Misty, your day has come and gone. We had been talking about it and your list of 'likes' and 'dislikes' (lol) for what seems like feovrer, but your day came so. Comment by Silvia. on 12/17/12 Valentina this is a fiction story, but if you have a heart like Paul, you are a lovely human being! Lovely and sweet story. Comment by Molly on 04/21/08 I'd go farther than Jill MI and say that the plausibility of the story was rough and shaky at first -- that, or the main character is a total bonehead! When I read the synopsis, I thought, "Let me guess; the boyfriend thinks he will hang out in the juror's lounge for a few days and then just go home, but finds himself selected for a difficult case that drags on for weeks. I wasn't too far off. Comment by STANLEY MORTON on 10/20/07 I HOPE YOU HAVE A LIFE MATE LIKE THE CROSS DRESSER DOES Comment by johncorc on 08/04/06 Just a note to blend my agreement with all those more eloquent than I. Seems a shame that comments are sparse for so nice a view of life, Comment by Briar on 04/18/05 I really enjoyed reading this story. It was well written, with nice people in it, good characterisation, particularly of the three lawyers! Refreshingly free of pseudo-erotica too. The acceptance of Cindy by Allison (the real one) was very warming. The way the girls reacted with each other, and the way the men behaved towards the girls, and vis versa, was just how they are in real life. Nice twist at the end too. You stopped at the right point. Comment by Sandy on 04/18/03 I thought the Charicter was great, but I thought the Story was waaaaat tooo long. And I thought Cindy and Jack could have gotten together for a Romantic Evening. Comment by Carla on 02/13/03 As a resident of Southeastern Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and a frequent visitor to Doylestown I felt that I was not only reading the story but witnessing the events as they took place. The story was very well written, and they all lived happily ever after. Comment by Rachelle on 02/10/03 At last, a CD story that reflects the way it really is for many of us who do this! As someone who has lived and worked as a woman at various times, I can attest that this comes closer to that experience than any other story I have yet come across. Sure, the fantasies are fun and I wouldn't want to be without them. But it's nice to see a fictional tale a bit more grounded in reality (my reality, anyway), especially when it is so believably and engagingly written. Comment by Karen Anne Summerfield on 02/08/03 It is refreshing to find a very well written story here during the recent drought. Very well done and a fine story on top of that. Comment by jillmi on 02/08/03 What a treat. A CD story about real people doing real things in a beleivable setting. Comment by Jezzi Belle Stewart on 02/08/03 WHAT A GREAT STORY! Major congratulations! The courtroom jury experience and the CD experience blended so very well as to make this more than just a TG fiction story. It also is one of the most realistic stories I've read. Most CD's don't take hormones; they are not size 8's; they don't have breast implants; and they don't pass the first time they dress. Neither did your hero(ine). Maybe most of us will never have this experience, but this story let us know it is possible for a lot more of us than we maybe thought. I think a point was made also about what a large part attitude plays in passing. Paul surfaced from time to time in those panic attacks, but for the most part it WAS Cindy living those four 9-5 days, and Paul was tucked in the back of her mind enjoying the ride. I haven't spent multiple days out enfemme, but I have occasionally shopped the whole day on State St. and Michigan Ave. Bob, 5'11 225lbs size 12 feet with Richard Nixon perpetual 5:00 shadow, knew that he in a dress could never do that, but he knew Jezzi could, and I did, and I passed ... when I wanted to; but that's a story for me to write. Thanks for a great and hope generating read Val! Comment by Starhawk on 02/08/03 First of all let me say this was a good story. I am not overly fond of lawyers to be certain. In fact I think all the trial lawyers should be put into a leaky submarine and. . . well you ge tthe picture. Having said that I liked this sotry because the dialogue was well written and thought out. The court room venue was different and interesting as a scenario. Comment by Paula Jutras on 02/08/03 a truely great story. I always loved stories dealing with Jury Duty and I loved how the main character was able to pass and the job that was got at the end. Just truely wonderful job done here. Comment by Cai on 02/08/03 A truly well written story, I started it and like a good novel could not put it down til I finished the whole. I found this story like your previous ones to be well-crafted, thoroughly researched and well-proofed. Comment by chrisl on 02/08/03 Valentina, Comment by Dorset on 02/08/03 I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed this story. There was one thing I noticed that was a little off, though. Cindy/Allie will never be able to buy shoes at Target. For reasons unknown, they don't carry women's shoes in sizes over 10. I speak from experience. |

The importance of reader feedback cannot be overstated. Authors rely on it to improve their future works, and it gives them the incentive to write more stories if they know that their hard work has been appreciated. I am not saying that comments must all be lauditory. Authors often appreciate honest, constructive criticism over simple remarks like 'Great story', although simple praise is appreciated also. There is no limit on how much you can enter in the 'comments' box. Sentences will automatically word wrap at the end of the line so please do not use your carriage return/enter key except at the end of your paragraphs. It is not necessary to use your real name here, and, email addresses are optional. Posting your email address will allow the author to thank you for taking the time to post your comments, and/or discuss critiques and address possible concerns. Be forewarned that abusive remarks and language will be removed, and the posters may be banned from this AND other areas of StorySite. |
