This was a heart warming story. I enjoy stories where the participant is willing and Leslie is certainly willing and with a perspective not taken by most teens. This is for his dad, a boy becomes the daughter so his father will not return to a past life. the ultimate sacrifice with the greatest reward. In the end each member of the family got their just reward. Mom has a daughter, Dad has a position and Leslie moves into a lifestyle she really desires.
Thank you for taking you time to write it was enjoyable.

I did NOT get the impression that leslie was a passive 4 year old.  I got the impression that leslie was a VERY smart young girl - a girl inside all along - who saw and grabbed an opportunity to finally be "all that she could be" in the female corporate army.  I think she played them all, including Mom and Dad, like a concert violinist.  I think Mary, smart CEO that she is, saw this and appreciated the value of such talent in the corporate world. While the author did not spell these things out, I think she did something better, she crafted the story so that the entire ambiance let the reader know. Congratulations, Janis.

Greetings, Janis.

I finally had the opportunity to peruse one of your works. I chose the most recent written to get a perspective of where you are now as a writer.

I enjoyed the sweet story of Leslie finding his femininity and aiding his father, regardless of past issues. The descriptions of the clothing, salon, and feminine training were done well. A superb story that is sure to bring a smale to many a reader's face.

Accept the praise, consider the suggestions, and feel confidant you have made many readers happy.

Above all, stay true to your vision and your desires. Write the way you want. By writing, we can fulfil those dreams which are caught up inside us.

I am honored that you chosen to share you dreams with us.

As allways one of the best "sweet" Authors out here, Janis has found her voice and chosen genre,I see others try to gently and artfully thrash  her with the grace and tact that she transforms others in her stories,Though I fear it is not Janis at all that you are civily attacking, but the entire genre of TG fiction with wich I'm becoming increasingly disenchanted with. When I heard the word "unoriginal" I had to laugh, what do you expect? As things stand the stories on this site mostly fall into set allmost formwritten genres and sub-genres, And to expect something on the vangaurd from a "sweet" story is like asking a chicken to give milk, Janis provides wellwritten and honey-sweet visions of what most of you come here for, And I stand my my original statement that she is fact the best of the "sweet" authors. Janis's work may not be your idea of art but it stands on it's own and allthough some would say lacking in "originality" is a constant mark of quality. Storysite does house some avant-guarde works but if that is what you crave I would suggest that you read the keywords involved a bit more carefully.Stay true to yourself Janis and write what you feel...... Greatest Respect and Love,Mina

Another nice story! I think your stories epitomise what TVs are about--most of us are males that like the softness and feel of femininity, and do not wish to be changed. I, for one, would hope you continue to write just as you have.
 If I may make a small suggestion: some males do fight, on the mistaken opinion that dressing robs them of some of their masculinity. Next time, a little more indesicisiveness on the male's part. The pros and cons.

A nice sweet story of a son willing to help his father. I have the feeling of having read this before but some stories follow a similuar plot line. one or two changes would have made the story better but Janis has a fine story.

Overall, I thought that this is a cute story and fairly well written.  Maybe I'm being picky but there were a few things that bothered me a little.  OK...it's fantasy and all, but why didn't Leslie's father just hire a real girl to pose as his daughter?  An explanation why he didn't would have added to the plausibility of the story.  Also, since the story was narrated by Leslie's mother, I thought that there were too many incidental details about what went on after Leslie and her father left for the dinner party. Also...satin hair bonnet and four garter belts???  I couldn't suppress a giggle when I read about those.  Anyway...I enjoyed reading the story...thanks...  

I adored it as I do all your stories, I find it refreshing to see Leslie want and accept being a Daughter, this makes a well used story line different and delightful. The story flow is very good and left this reader wanting more. I really appreciate your work of bringing sweet stories for my/our enjoyment. Look forward to reading more of your works. I know there are many readers in this site who would like to think they would fight the prospect of being made into a sweet young lady but in their hearts they would be just like Leslie, because I would hide Leslie and willingly take his place. Thank you again for the treat of your Mind and work. Love Cordelia

re: Leslies dinner party.

I have to admit it was a fun and "lighthearted" read.  I do have a couple of "constructive" criticisims though.  First of all, The story, while fresh, is very "unoriginal" it resembles, point for point, that of over half the other stories on this site--only with different character names.  If it were the only such story, it would count as quite a good one though.  You are a good writer.
    The other problem I see though, is that Leslie seems to have very little character.  He seems, when he shows any reactions at all, to be a very passive, oddly co-operative 4 year old.  He needs more character development.
  I also see him as TOO co-operative.  He just seems not only too eager to please, but also seems to have no problems with dressing as a girl---He should at least put up a front of mild protest, even though he accepts the challange  (But then again I Am biased in this respect--I don't think that the "victim" should be willing.)
