Your story "Under the Moons of Eden" is one story that has movie potential. To be that public the "moonstruck" phase might need eliminated however.

I further think that a couple of white guys who were womens athletic fans, be turned into black women athletes.  Just a thought.

I hope you do something with this story.  Its too good to just sit in a web story site.

This is simply one of the best TG stories I have ever read. It leaves me wanting to read it over and over again. The story is fantastic and touching, and possesses a depth that is uncommon in TG literature.

man i really liked the story i'm a writer do mostley sci-fi stuff and stories set in a gothic setting i'm doing a prequel to underworld a side story called underworld= abession i love that movie and universe.Anyway i really liked the story great storyline but i would have kept rupert male and focused in own his friendship with sabastion and do your possable relationship with him and rupe was kind of sad to see rupe go over to the female side.that left really no real solid charecter's left on the male side drew just did not cut it.But i really really loved the story i'v read several of your stories and their great infact it's inspired me to write a tg story and man i never in my wildest dreams would have belived that.Anyway write a sequel to moons but a suggestion to just spice up everything have a unknown alien race undiscoverd on eden laying dormant say like the bugs on starship troopers attack in mass wipeing out a whole battlian and a huge chunk of the remaining male soldiers.THAT would create a A+ storyline since everything whould be a new challenge and just the oppsite of the first great story you did.with a large portion of the transformees reverting back to their natural gender of male and almost needing to relearn to be a soldier along with the probleams they whould have in if they were married and had children as females.Theirs a lot you can really do with moons over eden it's a awsome story you should make it a universe=)i'd love to do a story in this setting.but i would have rupert revert back to male just have drew apart of the battlion that get's decimated and cut him out of the story.that way your storyline revoles around rupert's coming to terms with is death even after he has transformed back into a man he still carries the baggage of his death and his future as a woman that was so promising at the end of the first eden.but like all things dealing with loss.Hero's rise up and respond to adversity and show thier true worth and courage in the heat of battle with their leadership that seemed somewhat flawed in the first one in protecting the remaining females from the alien threat against the colony and establishing a future for eden that was thought possable before the alien threat took that away.interweave rupert's time has a woman into his second manhood that it makes him a better man in the long run give him a chance to find love as a man and to father children and add to eden the way he thought he was going to as a female.I really like the charecter of rupert in short bravo man moons over eden was fantastic a really great read.If you do a sequel to moons let rupert transform back into a male and build the story around him coming full circle with his life and useing his time as a woman to make him a better man and person. don't let me tell ya what to do just my take on a awsome story. from one writer to another  XANDER THOMAS

Most TG stories, I skip to the transformation part, read a little beyond to see how well, or how, a man deals with being a woman and wearing women's clothing. Most of the time, this is how I read a TG story.

But with this one, I started it out the same way. But it was so interesting that I went back to the very beginning and read what I skipped. The story kept surprising me along the way.

One problem arose, captivating me to no end, then when it ended, another problem arose.

This story also dealt with how 'realistically' men, or soldiers in this case, might react at having their genders being forcibly changed. The emotion and trauma that would most likely follow, even suicides are a cold reality. And this story dealt with that masterfully.

Most TG stories, it doesn't deal much in the emotional aspect or very many problems. So this story was a very welcome change. And I found myself reading all through the story and feeling a part of it.

Now that I have read the story, I want to be on the planet Eden. *laughs*

Great story. Thanks for the fantastic read. I've always been a fan of Sci-Fi. This one had that and TG. Good job. :)

I actually read "Under the Moons of Eden" several months ago. I loved it then as a wonderfully romantic, touching story first and a TG story a distant second.

Since then, I've read probably several hundred stories under the large umbrella format of TG and haven't seen anything that could beat the enjoyment of this or the Tiresias story to a somewhat lesser extent.

The word-play between the two main characters in "Moons" was classic and I reread it a few times to see how you did it. Your stories are real and honest and have inspired me to write a couple of long romances in a similar vein.

I like to make critical comments about stories. I could nitpick a little.

I could have wished for a little more early character development for the Major to establish his toughness as a commander that illustrated his bravery and grit under fire before finding out about it much later in the story.

The impression I had through much of the story was that he seemed to be more of a martinet than a hero as a man. When the tough-as-nails under fire aspect came out from a remark by Drew, it was too late for me to change the way I thought of her as I viewed her struggle to accept her new identity.

Nitpicky? Possibly.

Regardless, "Moons" is simply the story that all others must be compared to. The heck with TG, it is a great story.

I have been surfing this site for some time now, and this is the first time I am willing to write a comment. This story was so good I even mailed it to my girlfriend!

Take care + keep up the good work!

This is easily one of my favorite stories on the site, and the first with sci-fi stuff in it that I've liked at all. Keep up the good work.
