I have just read your story and am so overcome by a variety of emotions that I can't even begin to find the words.  I would deeply like to thank YOU for finding the words for this awesome tale.

You are a talented guide and your words have taken me on an incredibly realistic and powerful journey.  From the first few lines, I felt like all this was really unfolding before me.  By the end of the first page I was so pulled in that I couldn't help but believe this magical switch had really happened.  

The dialogue was so realistic and conveyed all the right emotions through out.  What I am trying to say here is this reads more like a factual account given by Jay/Beth as she writes her diary than it does a fantasy tale.  Your characters behaved, spoke, and felt exactly the way I believe these things could and possibly would unfold.

You illicited such an emotional response from me with this story and from the characters within.  I could feel Tim still having such deep felt sympathy for Jay.  He really did hurt for him, he loved him as his best friend and now he was torn and trying to sort it all out same as Jay/Beth was.  He was trying to be there for a best friend who had no one left and who was trying desperately to hold on to some small bit of himself and yet Tim was also the caring big brother who knew that Jay was now his little sister and he had to help her help herself into accepting this new role and the way their relationship just had to change.  The feelings that came later just pushed himself beyond what most anyone could deal with, let alone a 17 year old.

As for the mother, well...I have to say I felt some real anger toward her. I thought she was being very cruel to tease Jay/Beth as had initially done, but I will say this, at least in the end, she did come round and actually show some true compassion not just for the image of her daughter but for Jay as well.   Perhaps there is hope for her.

With Jay/Beth.  I felt it all!!!  The anger, the frustration, the overwhelming fear and near hopelessness of being taken away from my life and my body and being trapped in a prison were no one can hear my screams, and knowing with each passing day I am losing a bit more of myself to this insanity.  It was like dying a second time, only this time it was the heart and the soul and the mind and there was no one there to even mourn it.  My heart so ached for him as he walked back to his old highschool. I had tears welling in my eyes as she/he watched her big brother drive off and leave her standing at the curb, no longer welcome as buddy anymore. I felt so sorry for Jay/Beth getting a double whammy sort of losing Tim twice you might say. I was in tears several times at his pain and pleas for help.

Yet I had joy as well, some of the little things that well...that over time didnt really feel all so bad.  The things he now she discovered were kinda nice when you got used to them.  At times it was almost a little girls journey of growing up the same as if she'd been beth all her life.  I felt her happiness, I felt her warm blushes and her giggles.  I saw her, me in the mirror as she dressed for the game.  I felt her stomach nearly giving up on her as she paced in the dark all dolled up and waiting for Tim.

I want to thank you so much for taking me on this journey, this virtual reality tour that has left me still savoring the last memories of the trip.  It has been the best Sunday morning I have spent since i dont know when.

Thanks for the ride,   Maggie the Kitten

Veeerry Interesting!  I was wrong.  From the original stories and the way you wrote this, My guess from early on was that "Tim" had used the repaired controller (chap. 4) again, fine tuning it this time for femme without as much angst, and it backfired on him personally.  My new idea, from your ending, is that Mrs. Taylor used the controller and set the whole thing up as a way to get her normal (at least normal acting) 9 year old daughter back, and it backfired on her.
