Now Michelle's childhood in "Changing Clothes" is MUCH more reminiscent of my childhood (well, middle school & high school experience) than in Chapter 2 of "Michael/Michelle". Of course, I was never caught by my sister, nor were there any close calls (it was my mom that caught me, & I wish it wasn't) but still. While I did dress, I didn't have the waking vision experience Michelle had, but I DID dream I was a cis girl many times as a child. I dreamed I was in class as a girl, playing with my sister as a girl, etc. Of course, reading Chapter 2 makes me curious about the possibility that they may not have been just dreams. Did you write "Changing Clothes" & Chapter 2 based on first hand experience, & how often are your stories, or at least parts of your stories, based on life events?

2022-08-14 19:00:06 +0000 UTCThanks. It is one of my favorites as well. It's actually a redux of a very, very early comic I made called Changing Clothes. The point of that comic was to do a TG animation, my first. This comic actually started out the same way, with the animation, which unfortunately does not run on .pdf since Flash has been retired.

2022-08-13 16:41:33 +0000 UTCI'm sorry for responding so late. I have been busy these last couple of days, but I still read Chapter 2 Thursday night, pretty late. The first chapter was fun & interesting seeing Michelle's first foray into womanhood, & all the joys of the salon & the mall, but this chapter was fascinating. I knew as soon as "Michael" made "his" way up to Missy's room, what would happen next, because I used to do the same thing. I even wore my younger sister's ballet fairy outfit too, & kind of came to the same conclusion. That it fit me pretty well, & (if I had the courage) I'd be a very cute girl. Of course, what happened next in Chapter 2, was different from how I experienced it. So Michelle may very well have always been a girl, but was somehow transformed into a boy at some point. It was interesting seeing the veil come down, & seeing how it affected her, going from a 13 year old boy, to a 9 year old girl, & the mental changes for 9 year old Michelle, etc. as well as how the veil snapped back into place. Since reading EG-R, Missy strikes me as kind of a bully. I don't like her much as a girl, or as an adult, & she kind of reminds me of the people who bullied me for being different from them, even before I came out. Aimee is awesome though. She clearly noticed that "Mike" was wearing Missy's clothes under her own, but didn't say anything. Such a great friend. I know Valerie is Michelle's true love, but I hope she gets to be best friends with Aimee. Chapter 2 also adds some weight to my theory about these spells altering the past as much as they alter the time period in which these stories take place, & that the little girl Devon & Erin ARE the Devon & Erin from EG-R & "Intro to Archaeology" & Annie's spell has been altering their past as well as their present. Of course, with Michelle it seems to be deeper than that. Like she grew up (& experienced an entire life) as a girl first, before reality was altered & she was transformed into a boy, which seems to be hinted at by what Valerie says when she heard the story of Michelle's experience when she was 13/9. Of course, I'll read on to find the answers to my questions, & whether my theories will be proven, but it's fun to think about, speculate & form theories. Can't wait to read the next chapter. This has been a great story so far.
