Dear Wendy J
I have really enjoyed your story Midnight Downloads. The abuse issues were well handled especially Sam's fears. The journey of self discovery for Sam and Tina seemed true to life. I just wish that there was some way to read the continuation of your marvellous story. It would be terrific if you could e-mail me a link to the next chapters.

Sincerely
Jo

I'm on my soapbox now... The feminist movement should have been called the anti-feminist movement. Putting men in the kitchen and putting them in drag is called feminizing them; so the gender defined is still intact. All you are trying to do in this gendre is transfer the responsibility of its application in the human race to males. Women it seems want to have it both ways... they want to point out that they have the kids and yet they want to seek fulfilment in a way other than the role with which they admit they have. What has been happening because of that is there is more competition for every other job than mother and the job of mother is not getting done.

Comment by thisisme on 07/05/13
You started to lose discipline in part 4 and the beginning of part 5 was really wishy washy (sorry). Here is the thing about part 4... there was no indication that the confusion about his gender was comming. Why all of a sudden did the paramedics mis-read his gender? The story lost me at that point. It does not fit with the part where his mom was talking to linda (who obviously could not see any femininity in him).  

Comment by thisisme on 07/04/13
This comment is not about the story which I might have read in the past but it doesn't jog my memory. I will read it after this comment but since this story is somewhat about gender roles I have a comment about the usefulness of gender roles in society and the consequences of their breakdown upon society.
    The gender roles in society DID NOT (DID NOT) evolve due to the male ego. The gender roles were necessitated by a womans connection to the nurturing of the child. Anyone who does not recognize this is blind as a damn bat! Cave dwellers did not have similac and plastic bottles. Nature (and God), LADIES, saddled you with the homemaker responsibility unless you want to argue that a hunt is a viable place for a toddler or infant! STOP CRYING ABOUT IT! It is an incontrovertible FACT!

He was feminized by his mother.
She is evil and doesn't deserve to be a mother.
Very bad story.

Comment by Silvia. on 05/12/13

I really love this story I keep reading it and it gets better every time it is so brilliant i wish there was more than the 30 parts

First, I wish to comment on your "disclaimer" at the beginning.  Namely, that the "very religious" should not read this story.  I have been one of those who put everyone in the "same boat" as far as the TG, etc. are concerned.  However, I am tryng to understand all people based on their individual circumstances and try to help them according to their individual needs, whether it be TG, etc or adultry, or stealing or any other condition that is considered to be "wrong or sin."  I am a minister, and while I cannot condone what the scriptures condemn, I will not address those "moral or immoral" issues.  I only want to comment on the story line, the flow of events, and the overall writing ability of the author.  I have reached the conclusion, after reading all the chapters, that Wendy most certainly is very talented in writing a good story.  I found that the way the weaving of the "organization", friends, abuse, loving care, forgiveness (by Sam), desire for the family to be reunited was very well done.  I found myself, laughing, crying, and yes sometimes angry.  Overall on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it an overall 8.  If I may be permitted without offending Wendy.  I would earnestly like to see her write a good sentimental story for us readers without all the "profanity".  I feel we should be able to express ourselves without this.  However, I do not wish to be judgmental, this is only a suggestion.  Please consider it, for I truly believe you have the ability to be a great published author and I feel thinking of all your readers religious or not would truly benefit from your talents.  Thank you for allowing me to give my comments and opinions.  Looking forward to your next story for us ALL.

Comment by Scott on 12/12/08
I like the story, it deals with social issues on many levels, and while parts of the story might be hard to believe, who is to say "The Organization" cannot exist is some form.  Less than 10% of abuse is reported and responded to, what happens in the other 90% of the time?  

I wish that Wendy-J would finish it, but can also understand her reasons in not wanting to.  

Please email me, I would love to correspond and understand more of what went into this story.


Comment by Yoron on 06/04/08
Ah well.
It's funny but overly vindictive.
The right thing here is involving the police.
Then the Judge could deem Sams father into counseling as well as prison time.

If you need to hurt someone that bad, do it cleanly.
Not by brainwashing.
Otherwise it will warp your mind too.

I might finish your story later.
For now I'm afraid I lost 'the mood'.    


Comment by Yoron on 06/04/08
Reading chapter 12. I don't necessarily agree on Sam wanting to protect her abusive father.
Also I would like to point out that most children that been abused if given a chance won't be abusive in their turn.

What you seem to forget is those kids that's not as flagrantly abused as Sam was but who are living in a environment only affirming ignorance and brutality.
Those are the kids that is more likely to becomes abusers, not kids like Sam.
If you've been in hell you don't want to bring your kids there.

Cheers
Yoron.


Comment by Yoron on 06/04/08
I'm going to start on chapter 7 next :)

I like your story although I'm not pleased with the liberal high handed way the doctor throws around those female hormones.
That would be deemed a very strange behavior in a real life situation.
Other than that it still holds my interest.

If a guy is into cross dressing by himself, or is believing himself to be trans gendered I think that very little encouragement is necessary for 'it' to show itself.
So this thing about 'forced' feminisation just don't sit right with me.

I'm no expert on this but my guess is that most of us want to be reasonably decent as human beings.
And that this has nothing to do with any gender or sexual direction.
But I can see how 'predators' might get off on the 'unprotectiveness' of those so estranged.

So hopefully this novel will steer clear from that kind of abuse
Because such behavior falls more under sadomasochism than cross dressing and TG if you see my drift.

Cheers
Yoron.


Comment by Russell on 12/06/06
I am still looking forward for the story to be continued as i like it very much

Comment by Wendy-J on 10/02/04
Thank you, Everyone.

The contest story is probably Scholarship.  It even has a Sam in it.

It's nice to know that my editors' and my efforts are not in vain.

Wendy

Comment by Sam on 10/02/04
I really like this type of story - even although it is long and I can't read a lot at present (I've got ME).
There is a another story about a contest at a high school  on the site that is similar to this one, so I'm having a hard time rememmbering which character arein which.

Brilliant story keep up the good work

Comment by Elizabeth on 09/06/04
This story is truly a gift - an awesome effort of care and talent.  Thank you, so much - Wendy.  Just wonderful!!!  

Comment by stacy on 08/01/04
I have read this story 5 or 6 times. It gets better each time I read it. The forced fem stuff is typical of the genre. That doesn't mean it is phony, or bad, or doesn't work in real life, or in the life of the book. The technique is correct, the application may be wrong, but again, the genre. The brutality issue should inflame everyone. I have been a street cop for more than 30 years. I have seen the battered ruined shells of women, and kids. I have known a man that felt he had made majot improvements in his child rearing, simply beacuse he used an extension cord to whip his children rather than the original coat hanger. The wires were larger and less likely to do nerve damage. I cry every time I read it, because it could be anyone here in real life. And it not only happens daily, but many times a day. I don't particularly care what causes it, or why the person, man or woman, is that way, or other cause. The act itself ignites somethihg, and I would truly love to show the person what it is all about, but that is not my job. Drastic measures need to be taken against people like this, the author is using one that works in the genre, without involving the courts and causing the headlines that could have happened, and ruined a bunch of lives. Forced fem is not my particular favorite topic, I seldom read them. It does nothing for me. But I recognize it exists, as well as slavery, even in today's world. And keep in mind, it is just a story.

Comment by Susan on 03/31/04
Hello Wendy,
 You have written a great story. The first chapter was a little boring but, once I got into it I was quite pleased! I hope you have
more coming. I am waiting to see how thing go for Tina and Sam.
 Huggs Susan

Comment by Francine on 03/28/04
Hi Wendy  :)
Well I hadn't intended to read this story, It didn't grab my attention at first. But I am glad I took a second look. It's a wonderful story.
Thank you
Hugs, Fran

Comment by Wendy-J on 03/23/04
Dear Turned Off,
I really do feel sorry for you.  The things you find so objectionable here are no more violent than what you find on broadcast TV.  With the limits you place on yourself, it seems that you have a very hard row to hoe in life.  I really do pity you in that.  

What you are objecting to is beyond me.  I fear you have some issues that really need to be taken out and looked at.  The scenes in these instalments are nothing more than the same type of conflict you might find in a romance novel of 10 or more years ago.  Not today, as todays romance novels are near x-rated.

I wish you peace and happiness in your quest for the perfect novel, book and story as well as life.  A story without conflict is boring to me.  I'm sorry you feel that conflict of any sort is objectionable.

Wendy-J

Comment by Turned Off Reader on 03/23/04
I gave your work a second try, given your assurance. I skipped the parts you recommended. I now find the humiliation continues in chapters 26-27, with all characters seemingly happy at the prospect.
I am an alcoholic who struggles to stay sober. The treatment you describe is not recovery, it is something I cannot imagine a psychaiatrist participating in.
I cannot continue. I had thought this was part of the story was over, but an addict "earning" the right to basic self identity? Too horrible to contemplate.

Our tastes and values differ. If someone hurts you, punish them if you want, but to dress it up as 'recovery' is not to my taste.

This is a reaction to your story and your posts, it is honest and not intended to insult or demean. I know people will rush to your defense, not bothering to read what I am saying. I cannot help that. You responded honestly to me and so I do this in return. I cannot celebrate the "S&M" elements, as you called them in this otherwise fine story. I can only assume more are coming, or worse yet, the person will be "cured".

I hope your characters find what they seek.

Comment by A.F. on 03/21/04
Great Work! Please keep it coming, I've been reading the stuff on this site for along time now.. and this is easily among my favorite stories. :)

Comment by Jane Hudson on 03/20/04
Bloody good. Tina and Sam soo sweet together real love there.Go Go girl go more pleaseee.

Comment by Question on 03/19/04
Why in your notes in sec 21 do you only warn not to report "a mother spanking her child" ? I assume fathers get no such abilty to spank an errant child? Is that your message?

Comment by Taste of Own Medicine on 03/18/04
Drinking coffee right  now. Suggest you lay off the cough syrup.

Questions do not need answers, they are illuminating in themselves.
Ponder that. (It means you weren't supposed to answer, just tease me along- Marketing 101)

Give away what plot? You mean the tortured young adults find sexual identity despite the well and unwell intentions of the adult world? That plot? Okay, I won't give that away. I bet it ends wistfully. Or maybe unwistfully.

Just sharing some things that popped into my head. I thought I was in the comment section, not the lounge at Vegas. (rimshot)

Drugs plentifully available and I don't have to fight the dogs for them.

Comment by Wendy-J on 03/18/04
Do what?  Give away plot?  
What makes you think I'd be that stupid?  Are you on dope or dogfood?
Whether or not Linda gets a taste is none of your business till it's written and posted.

Give away the story...Wake up and smell the coffee.

Comment by Taste of her own medicine on 03/18/04
Does Linda ever get confronted with her insanity? Or at least a taste of her own medicine? How can she be gloriefied when she is so clinically sadisitic and destructive?

Comment by Wendy-J on 03/18/04
For those that do not like any kind of forced fem, skip most all of 13 & 14.  Pick it up at 15.  Then you can relax.  It doesn't happen again.

Thank you all for reading

Comment by Turned Off Reader on 03/18/04
I was under the impression your Sam character was under 18 and she/he was part of the humiliation process of her abusive father. If that is incorrect, I retract the children involvement comment.
I only meant to tell you that your story moved me, I was invested in the characters and then could not continue. My family knows the Nazi camps and I grew up with those images, which some scenes always invoke. I am sorry if sharing that disturbs you, I did not mean to imply anything about you, just how your story affected me.
It is difficult to find stories which do not celebrate torture or humiliation, the labels are frequently misleading.
I will try not to upset you again. Our tastes just differ.


Comment by arkytech on 03/17/04
I'm glad to see that you are actively back in circulation.  I have been waiting to see if you felt well enough to continue the storyline past part 25.  Don't let the little things get you down - you've overcome much more difficult hurdles than just 1 person disliking your story.  Remember - you have a following of readers.  Some (like myself) tend to be on the quiet side & not give enough positive feedback.  Others are much more vocal.

Keep up the good work and let the story of Ernie & Sam continue.

Comment by Child of Survivors on 03/17/04
Last post did a disservice to negative comment. Inclusion of children in parents humiliation was standard practice at the camps. Strike at your tormentors, do not become them

Comment by Angel O'Hare on 03/17/04
Wendy, each of us get comments just like you did with the so-called "turned-off reader" One thing they all have in commen is they are anonymous and speak from a place they deam as reality. There justification? None really, they like to add things like "Nazi Concentration Camp" which they have no idea at all about what that was like and what those people really suffered. If they did, they wouldn't use it!

Fiction is a world of its own with no rules besides grammer and spelling. Giggle, giggle.

I love this story and if people in the reading world are looking for perfection, then let them right it. No story is perfect unless it is perfection in the authors eyes. For a reader to find their perfect story is a once in a lifetime thing!

You go girl, write and write and write!

Comment by Turned off reader on 03/16/04
It was a great story until I got to the "feminisation for his own good" for therapy. It may be fiction, it may be fantasy but the torture and amateur psychobabble to justify reader's fantasy lost me- Including children in an adult humiliation is like reading about Nazi concentraion camp methods. They got their rocks off too, but it did not justify it.
Just my opinion, but your Tigger character is perfectly in touch with sadism with total self justification, but that would be consistent.
This was a great story, but you crossed the line. There are a lot of ways to handle abusive parents, and they all relate to getting to the roots of the abuse, not humiliation.

Comment by Jane Hudson on 03/14/04
Wow just keeps getting better and better Sam's dad a scumbag.When I lived in Tilbury as a kid lots of the kids I went to school with got a hideing from there dad's and a few mum's too got a hideing and gave them to the kids as well too. I hope they get Sam's dad real good that Linda seems the one to do it. Tina showed being feminine is not being weak she helped her Boy/girlfriend Sam a lot so far.Please keep up the good work and lot's more please!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by maurice on 03/14/04
great story, read the 1st part a few days back and loved it. Was only able to the other 4 sections last night, so i had to read them all in one sitting <g>. please carry on (both writing and posting), as this looks like it could go in interesting directions...

Comment by Wendy-J on 03/13/04
Contrived?  My dear, it's fiction.  It's all contrived.  Worse still, it's T-Fantasy.  There we have the worst of all contrivances.  Does that mean that there is no story?  No, as you said yourself.  It didn't hurt too much to read past the contrivance.  Thank you for doing so.

More to go?  Oh yes.  Plot twists abound, sub plots spring up, characters blow your mind.  It's all there...and here (she says pointing at her head.)

Thank you.

Comment by leah on 03/13/04
Yes, I mean, No, it didn't take long for me to get hooked either. All the first five parts in one sitting. Although a few things come across as somewhat inexplicably contrived, it isn't a serious hindrance to our enjoyment -- for all those reasons the other commenters have enumerated.

Just as I am confident that Tina will win the full year's wardrobe, I certainly hope we witness some developments with the computer skills of this young electronic wizard(ress).

It's pretty assured that Tina will somehow have to interact with her community, because -with the exception of Samantha- all the characters stem from her mother. I am pretty confident that Samantha is meant to remain a permanent presence in this story, so it will be interesting to see the effect Tina's future growth will have on the young woman --- and which direction will Samantha take -- Female-to-Male-transition or a new birth of an interest in being feminine herself or even something else?

Yep, you've given us plenty of variables to wonder about.

Comment by Julie LaRue on 03/13/04
WOW!  i thought i'd just read one part and couldn't quit untill i had read all you have written. And like some of the othe comments Tina is really lucky to have a girlfriend like Samantha, and a mother that loves her new daughter as much as she did her son.  the story line about the accident was well conceived except you didn't mention how the store lady knew who to call. But i hope to see more of this sweet story soon! it's refreshing to see something of a puzzeled young boy turn into a pretty girl.

Julie

ps if you e-maill back put in the title 'sissy stories' or it might get deleted w/o being read

Comment by Jane Hudson on 03/13/04
Great story just great love it.She Tina is very lucky to have Sam as his/her girlfriend just one of the nice storys that about.More please!!!!

Comment by Josiep on 03/12/04
Well, it took about 3 paragraphs to get completely hooked. Really well written, coherent, and interesting, with a cast of likable characters. More!

Comment by PamK on 03/12/04
PLEASE MORE MORE!!!!! I truly injoyed the first 5 chapters. It was a new twist that just kept me reading. I could not stop! I like the sweet stories most but this is very very good! I hope the wate for the next 5 chapters is'nt to long. Thank You for a wonderful and fresh style.PamK
