Awesome! You found something new and funny and HOT in the well-worn genderfuck genre!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! Where Rodney's involved, nothing is going to go the usual way.

[amberlynne.livejournal.com]

I adore that Rodney pretty much looks at the whole thing like an experiment and John is the one that's a total freak. Also? Holy crap that was hot. Nnnnnngh. For serious.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! I like writing a screwed-up John; he's so much fun to unscrew, ideally while naked.

[percysowner.livejournal.com]

This is a wonderful genderswap. It's very hot whichever sex Rodney is. I can certainly see him being just this matter offact about the whole thing. I did love your quote in the story notes. Thanks for sharing.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! Rodney would be baffled by the suggestion that he ought to be freaked out: "I like women's bodies! Why wouldn't I want to have one for my own for a while?"

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Genderswap isn't my favorite thing, but this - this was beautiful. I think Rodney would have freaked more if it had not be voluntary and temporary, but, well, it was. And he is *such* a sensualist.

On the other hand - once again, we have John Sheppard, QueenKing of Repression.

Like a straight man would be fantasizing about the woman he's having sex with having manparts....Silly guy.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it!

Yes, if Rodney had been made a woman against his will, or without an easy way of turning back, I think we would have seen epic rage. And then eventually the utter extinction of pantyhose, but that's another story.

And it's fun to mess with John's mind, because he really has no clue what's in there.

[horridporrid.livejournal.com]

Love, love, love! Seriously, you hit just about every button I have in the best way possible. :D Rodney's matter-of-fact-ness about his new (and best ever!) boobs; poor John trying so damn hard to be the gentleman he feels he has to be with a lady; Rodney being anything but a lady (oh, I loved that he was, at heart, a guy with boobs (boobs!) *g*). And of course the way John just came undone when finally, finally, the lady left the room completely and he got pure, unadulterated Rodney. Perfect!

(Oh and that hot-dog metaphor? Love!)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! I do wonder how long Rodney would have to be in that body before he actually became a woman and not a guy with boobs; surely sooner or later they'd stop being his favorite toy, just because he has to get some work done.

Glad you liked the hot dog thing, too -- it's not sexy but it's accurate. (I haven't written het this explicit before, and I found the language very ... unwelcoming. There are words for things, but they're not clean of the stain of ugly usage.)

Oh my fucking god... That was hot. Going into my deli.cio.us for sure.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it!

[giglet.livejournal.com]

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this! But it's a whole whole lot!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so glad. It was a lot of fun to play with.

[jackie-brown.livejournal.com]

Guh. I like Rodney being the in-charge one and man, was he in charge here. So bossy and sexy. No wonder John was putty :)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it. Rodney just bowls over everybody's objections and hesitations. It would be hard to be too neurotic with him involved.

[helenish.livejournal.com]

ooh, like everyone else, I liked this a lot. Also, it was ho-double-t-hot.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! Rodney's body is a wonderland, for sure, as is John's screwed-up little brain.

[almostnever.livejournal.com]

You made me love Rodney so much with this story, and made me want to smack John upside the head, but by the end, I loved him too. Just wonderful stuff!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! John can't help it; he's got the closet door shut so tight, even he doesn't remember what-all's in there.

[briar_pipe]

Oh, boys. Er.

My cheeks hurt from grinning so much.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad!

[panisdead.livejournal.com]

Your sense of humor absolutely slays me--this whole thing is so funny and clever. What a breath of fresh air, man.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun with it. You can count on Rodney not to react in the usual way.

I haven't read any really awful genderfuck stories (mostly because I only read things either written or recced by people I trust), but one of the great pleasures of this was not writing that scene where the guy grabs his crotch and sings an aubade to his dear departed dick.

[ladyvyola.livejournal.com]

John, you freak.

Thank heavens you have Rodney to charge without regard to modesty or mores right through to what feels good!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he pretty much needs Rodney to talk a straight line through the maze of his brain, trampling shrubbery left and right.

That was really good!

[zorrorojo.livejournal.com]

I don't usually read Rodney as woman stories after a few bad experiences, but I took a chance and wasn't disappointed - that totally rocked. Great story.

Re: That was really good!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! I haven't seen any of the awful genderfuck stories everybody's always talking about, so I've been lucky.

[dodificus.livejournal.com]

"That's not what turns me on," Sheppard said, and he pulled himself up until his head was on the pillow beside Rodney's and carefully wrapped his big hand around Rodney's cock. "I think -- this turns me on."

Well, it definitely turned *me* on:)

Sheppard as sexually retarded is never not funny in my book, I loved this.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! John is really wound too tight to be very good in bed without someone forcibly unwinding him.

[bironic.livejournal.com]

What ladycat777 said. Love this - Rodney's voice, and Sheppard's repression, and the sheer hotness that was each of their encounters, even the awkward ones, and the way you describe the girl parts and girl sensations (full bladder! hot dog!), and, yes. Finding a new fic from you is like being handed a big cookie.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! I'd never written het this explicit before, and I found the language very difficult -- we have words for girl parts, but they've been used for other purposes and they're kind of poisoned.

[smallbeer.livejournal.com]

(:sigh: I commented in the noticeboard community by mistake. But I really mean it! so I'm going to say it twice.)

this is a wonderful story; I remain completely in awe of your ability to write sex that is embedded in the narrative, in the characters--to write a sexual *relationship*, in essence, that is more than the sum of its scenes. Oh, and hot. And funny! *g*

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

That's all right! I'm happy to read it twice!

[reedfem.livejournal.com]

You're trying to kill us all with your incredible spontaneous-combustion-causing story!

"Impregnate me and you die" - I believe this is when I started laughing while hunching closer and closer over the laptop...

Fabulous!

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! If Rodney had to stay female for very long, you can bet we'd have 100% reliable birth control within about a week.

[sulien77.livejournal.com]

Loved this and I think you've got our guys dead to rights. Sorry I'm not so much with the coherency here, my mind kinda blew a circuit or ten. *is utterly wrecked and will be in bunk now*

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! I had a good time imagining John just breaking after a while.

[rinsbane.livejournal.com]

Wonderful. I grinned so hard at so many places in this because their attitudes are perfect - John being the gentleman who really doesn't want to be one, Rodney all experimental. Totally enjoyable.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! Under most circumstances I think Rodney's giant ego would be a pain in the ass, but if you're going to deal with John Sheppard, you have to have confidence.

[whetherwoman.livejournal.com]

"But I fear that no one would suffer such a disruption simply for the sake of information." Ahahahaha. Oh yeah.

I loved this take on Rodney, who could really care less what gender people see him as, and John, who's a little bit okay mostly completely gay. It's like Rodney honestly couldn't understand why anybody might like one kind of body more than another, but it's so crucial to John.

Also hot. Very, very hot. John finally actually having sex and not just pretending to--oh yeah. Oh boy.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! I suspect John hasn't had very much good sex in his life; he doesn't trust anybody enough. And it's our job to fix that, right?

[mecurtin.livejournal.com]

how weird must it be to have a whole fifty percent of the human race that you couldn't be attracted to?

My feeling exactly, Rodney.

What a great example of using sex scenes to show character development. Especially for John: the way sex with a woman is by-the-book, but the more he thinks of it as being with a man the more into it he becomes.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you liked it! It may be easier for someone to get through to John if they can get him naked first; this takes his defense mechanisms down. A little bit.

[semielliptical]

Oh, I just adore the way Rodney is so pleased with himself and his breasts and the rest of his physical femaleness! And John, when he said "I didn't ask," Sheppard said flatly, "and nobody told me." I wondered if he had wanted Rodney to ask *him* about himself, or wished Rodney had told him that he liked men, earlier, because of course John wouldn't ask.

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked it! I think John probably won't ever open up to anybody who doesn't just batter down the walls; he's longing to be asked, yes, but if you asked him, he wouldn't tell you unless you made him. Who better than Rodney?

<3 <3 <3

The are both the strangest, ever :)

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

They totally are.

[krysalys.livejournal.com]

Oh freakin' holy hannah.
*s'plodey*

I'm so glad you liked it! I'm way too fond of bossy Rodney and likes-being-bossed John.
