| Joanne's original version was good but the rewritten version is almost excellent. A very good developement of the plot line with good descriptions and depth of character. And the end can bring a tear or three. |

I agree with the others that the revised version is far superior. The only thing that might have been added--& it would have been difficult--is some indication of why the super-macho father was so defensive about masculinity. Clearly some hidden insecurity there. But I'll admit that I can't see any way of working it into the story smoothly...so it's probably just as well omitted. Fine story, good characterization, & Audra's reactions quite believable. . --Pervette |

Thanks for the notes! :o)

I hadn't planned this re-write and I did hesitate to try it, but I think I made the right decision. Everyone who has given me feedback seems to believe it's a better story for the effort and that feels quite nice. I don't expect poor Aardvark to read it again though, he's suffered enough. :) Anyways, this whole process has been a heck of a learning experience! I highly recommend it. |

| What? I read it. I wanted to see how it ended. Killer ending, Joanne. (Pun only partially intended.) You did a terrific job with it, Joanne. To all those out there: I'm flattered that she mentioned me, but Joanne took what I had to say (and others) and just ran with it. This rewrite is all Joanne. Regards Doug |

| I'm glad you did! :o) Don't underestimate the value of your help. Honestly. I consider myself very lucky to have had it. By the way, I've started my first Unity story. Only an itsy-bitsy way in, but I love writing in it already. I can't help it, I'm a computer geek at heart! Once I have something reasonably substantial, I'll send it off to you to have a look and make sure it fits the Unity model that you and Emma have put together. Don't feel that you have to proof (though that is always welcome), I just want to make sure I don't try to do something that is counter to what you both have in mind. If that's okay, of course. *hugs* Joanne |

Oh Joanne! This has to be one of the finest stories I have read. The re-write you have done shows so much how writers do listen to what others say. This story has matured so much and has earned a five star rating in my opinion. Huggles Angel |

| Dear Joanne, I just wanted you to know that I am crying as I write this. I havent read the previous versions and I dont really want to now. Please hurry with the next installment. The tears I am crying are helping me get in touch with my own HRT assisted transition which had recently seemed to stall. thanks for the kick in the butt to my emotions. hugz Jodi Lee Muhun |
