 I am very impressed with the self control and discression of your story charcters to use oral sex for expressing their emotional needs and save complete intimacy for later when the time and comittment is right, this may be alarming but demonstrates quite a level of responsability to parenthood before it is appropriate.  It takes a lot of courage to explain this to your parents but it also shows responsability for the possible consequences of doing otherwise.

 Another great story Samantha!  It shows how a loving parent wants to form their childs life to fit their own expectations but clearly shows there is a point where the parents must back down and realize that their child is unique and must live in their own comfort zone if they are to blossom into adults.  Part of growing pains are being true to yourself, often overlooked, scorned or minimised, these little wounds will fester into terrible scars later in life.  
 If parents in real life could be more understanding and acceptable like the ones cultured in your story I feel there would be much less drug abuse and less violence in our society than there is now.  Children have core values of who and what they are or should be, this is something that can't be dictated or changed, it must be nurtured to allow the best overall development of your child as they reach adulthood.
 One thing that seems out of character is the fainting spells that people have, the only fainting spell I ever encountered was by having my corset laced much too tight for me and it happened when I tried to over exert myself.  Actually, I didn't faint it was more of a light headed feeling that prompted me to stop and catch my breath.

You are a very skilled writer Samantha, please bring us more, if you like you could even use my life experience for fresh ideas.

Thank you,
Mariah

I thought this story was very good.  I definitely don't agree to what one of the last people commented on.  This story said alot about accepting others the way they are.  I commend this author on the story, hope for more of the same.

Im a 62 yr old hetero and have no axe to grind but the last post says they dont like the story and its full of smut,,i hope they stay away from literotica..this site and especially this author has many very light hearted stories and many dont have any sex or at least very little,,,expecting every story to be a treatise on sexuality but then again every book published isnt a Pulitzer winner either..So give the poor author a break and just enjoy the fantasy and let go of yourself and a have little fun once in a while.

AGAINST ALL THE APPROVAL COMMENTS THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS STORY, I AM 100% DIFFERENT.  THIS WAS NOT AN INTERESTING STORY BUT ONE FULL OF SEX, SEX, SEX AND DOES NOTHING TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND WAY AN INDIVIDUAL IS TG, TV, OR HOMO.  I AM A MINISTER TRYING TO BUILD AN UNDERSTANDING WHY TG, ETC ARE THE WAY THEY ARE.  THIS IS NOTHING BUT A STORY THAT COULD BE SUMMED UP WITH THE WORD "SMUT."  IT STARTED OFF FAIRLY WELL WITH BRO AND SIS BEING CONFUSED.  THEN IT WENT DOWNHILL FROM THERE.  THE WRITING ABILITY IS NOT IN QUESTION.  THE CONTENT IS CERTAINLY INFERIOR TO OTHERS THAT I HAVE READ.  THIS WAS DIFFENTLY NOT ON THE HIGH ROAD BUT ON THE LOW ROAD OF LIFE.  YOU CAN CERTAINLY DO BETTER WITH YOUR TALENT.  I WOULD LIKE TO SAY AGAIN, I AM NOT TRYING TO BE JUDGMENTAL BUT I DO NOT GET ANY UNDERSTANDING FROM YOUR STORY.  PLEASE INPROVE TO A HIGHER "MORAL" LEVEL.  HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND THEY WHY OF YOUR LIFESTYLE IN ORDER FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND AND COUNSEL PROPERLY THOSE THAT MAY COME TO ME FOR HELP.  WITH ALL SINCERITY, I AM NOT PREJUDGING BUT I DO WANT TO UNDERSTAND AND HELP.  I HAVE LEARNED THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY ONE MAY GO FROM BOY TO GIRL.  ACCIDENTS, BIRTH DEFECTS, ABUSE WHILE A CHILD, AND MANY OTHER REASONS.  I LIKE THE STORIES THAT BRING OUT THESE REASONS INSTEAD OF JUST WRITING SMUT TYPE STORIES.

Sweet, gentle, full of love and compassion. I loved it: you must be a very special person with insight, humour and a great grasp of the narrative; I'm looking forward to more : thankyou.

Just fabulous Samantha.  Loved having real in depth problems with lots of angst.  Solutions abounded, so that was good.  I was impressed that you have four characters with definition. Very nicely done with 154K.   Of course I liked Emily the best, as she is the heroine that is only right. Everyone does seem to cry and faint a bit much.  I think you should use that much less.  I know the crises are significant, but I do think fainting is much more unusual. The different relationships were much more believable than the fainting. There are lots of other ways to show shock. More complexity of reaction would allow us readers to empathize more fully with each individual that was upset, happy, confused or just emotional.

   Thank you for a very lovely tale.   Kristi

   I though you did a very remarkable job
on this piece.  Your perception and take
on situations really gave me pause to think.
   A especially liked the humourous way
you interpreted certain situations.  Of
course I'm sort of particial to "sweet and
sentimental".
  Please continue your efforts as I look
forward to encountering another of your
stories some time soon, I hope.
               Thank you.
                        r.a.s.

Very nicely written story.  Details and descriptions given give the reader ample information to imagine the storyline and "live" the lives of the charcters.  Especially like the references to ballet and the idea of corset training.  Grounded in enough reality to make the story that much more interesting.
