I'll get around to your message ASAP, but just a quick word about that: I'm so happy you had a great time, it's great to see you back and I've been thinking about you, too ;D
Read chapter 1 of your friend's novel. Very interesting. Our local paper here is doing a series of articles on transgender persons (not to mention my one co-worker who has the office next to mine who's been transitioning MTF for about a year now), so it's been something that's been on my mind for a bit, just gender identity in general and thoughts about marginalized persons. Your friend does a really good job of describing the protagonist's confusion at being woken up back at square 1, and I like how it's something like turning "genderswap" on its ear: the person is actually in some ways familiar with the feeling, as they started out genderswapped to begin with. The throwaway names, the strange setting, it's all eerie and unnerving, but in a good way. And it's also not everything that this person is, either. I really like the way the character was introduced

Hey-glad you checked it out and enjoyed the story! I linked my friend to this entry so she can benefit from your insight =)
I also thought the ending POV change was probably a transition, and that the jarring effect might be intended… That was my interpretation of it anyway.
Edit: my friend answered the points you'd made in a message to me, sorry I'm only getting to you about that now, hahaha. The last paragraph part was indeed a transition, into the next chapter's POV (there are two POV characters). The character was also bashing on the door, not bashing someone.
If you want to keep following the story, you can subscribe to get email updates to the author's Wordpress btw :) She's posted a new chapter now, I might keep on pimping for the first few chapters but idk. I'll see if I think about it, lol.
That summary looks so freaking awesome! I do wanna read it. I'ma make some time. . . I miss reading for pleasure! It's all study, study, study! D: A wee bit of fanfic, but study more!
