  You know I like your stories.  I try to comment on them, to indicate my personal pleasure in reading them; and I am certain you bring much pleasure to many otherpeople with your writings.  
   This essay is different from most of yours.  It is almost as if you wrote this one to satisfy someone else.  It even seems to take a turn in semantics in the middle of the work.
   It is a cute tale.  It has a happy(?) ending.  It was almost a good demonstration of power corrupts.  I somehow got the feeling, while reading this, that Sam was lessened, both as a man and as a person.  This seems to have been a difficult story for you to write.  I hope the next ones come easier to you.
  You continue to be one of my favorites.  Thank you for sharing this with us.

This was sort of a roller coaster ride, and I thought at first that Kiera would tell him he could be a man again and find to her dismay that she had created a permanent slave.  Then I thought he'd end up a CD.  Oh, well.

Better than the last one, as far as the writing goes.  The opening scene with Bob, however, isn't necissary, and distracts from the actual story.  Bob is never mentioned again, so what purpose does he serve being introduced?  You should summarize that section by saying something like "Sam had friends whose wives interests froced them out of the things the loved.  His friend Bob had been playing hockey since before he and his wife met, but she'd now decided it cut into their personal time" or something like that.  You don't need to walk us through everything that happened.

Something similar can be said of the scene at the end with Keira's friends.  That's a more complicated example, and simply summarizing the whole thing won't work.  The way it's written now is kind of awkward, though.

It almost felt to me like halfway through this story, you gave up.  When Keira tosses out half his wardrobe and dons the dominatrix outfit, everything you'd built up until then falls a little flat.  For some reason, you want all your male characters to be completely pliable, but you don't give a good enough reason as to why.  The fact that he's wearing womens' clothed works to an extent, but the suspension of belief is broken when he appears to have no will of his own, as if under hypnosis.

But overall, much better than the last story, I thought.

      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.
