Hi Yvette, This was quite the story, and talk about coming out of the closet! It's a well deserved win and I'm so happy for you. It's so very well written. I was captivated all way through the story. Ulla:)))

Comment from MamaBebop
Yvette,
Bravo! That was just the best short story I've read in a long time. I was completely drawn in at the part when you mentioned the one man's stubble rubbing up against "mine". I was like...huh? But I remember the prompt and thought-this is going to be good and I was wrong, it was awesome. The descriptions of what Stacey had to do in her brother's body were hilarious, and I wouldn't like to experience anything like that! This was superb writing.
Your friend and forever fan,
Beth

Comment from Dutchie
Wow, this is quite a story and very unexpected. Coming out of the box is very difficult for some and especially to tell it your twin sister. I had a brother in law who told it to me, he was afraid to tell his parents...
When he told it, they said, o we always have thought you are gay... LOL
A long and very well written story and very pleasant to read. Fia

Families are always quite the revelation... some times good, some times maybe not so much, yeah?! ;) :) So glad you enjoyed this one, Fia -- when I read the contest prompt, you just know this 'fantasy girl' couldn't resist entering! ;) LOL! ;) Take care! ;) Yvette
Comment from susand3022
Okay... here I am thinking... well I was completely certain that we had a split personality going on here! I guess they're just so close that she was literally 'in his head'! Ick!!! There are times when I'd like to peek into my son's head, but I wouldn't want to be brought into it like that!!!
I didn't get notified of this story... I'm going to have to go to your portfolio and see what else I've missed! Sometimes this site makes me crazy! I've got a huge list of people I like to read, but only a few ever come up. :(

LOL! Yeah, this was a 'blind' contest so that's why you didn't get a notice... ;) :) It was a 'you wake up as someone else'... :) You KNOW this nutty blonde couldn't resist that one!! ;) Take care, LLOTN! ;) Yvette
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
It was quite a story....I had to read it carefully from scene to scene. Kept me in suspense; wondering if the brothers were in love or a friend of the brothers? Finally got my answer in the end.

Comment from RShipp
Wow... Did you decide to pick a out-of-the-box situation in which to body-switch!
I enjoyed your characters!
Best of luck in the Someone Else writing prompt contest.

Comment from ciliverde
This is quite a story, I loved it. People always say twins are very, very close, and you showed that very well here. I was totally drawn in, right up to the point of meeting the parents for dinner and the big reveal. Well done!

Thank you, THANK YOU, Carol, for this awesome review and those lovely stars! I'm so glad you enjoyed poor Stacy's harrowing adventure as well as her love for her brother... Your time is so very much appreciated, my friend!!
Comment from Cindy Warren
That certainly would have freaked me out! What a way to find out your twin brother is gay. He's lucky to have her to stand by him, no matter what. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was just about the best short story I've read for a long while. If I had
6 left, it would be yours. It could easily have happened because I've heard some incredible stories of twins knowing without being told, things that are going on in the second twins life. The descriptions of what the girl had to do in the boys body was hilarious, and no, I wouldn't like to experience anything like that!! This is superb writing, and I'm sure you don't need it, but I'm wishing you the very best of luck in this contest! Well done! Sandra xxx

Hooray!! So glad you enjoyed, my friend! This was one of those ideas that just 'popped' into my head when I read the prompt and, I don't know how you are with your 'bright ideas' like that, but this one wouldn't go away 'til I put it in writing!! ;) LOL! I am so very glad you enjoyed and I take your wish for a six with honor and count it as a win for me!! ;) Thank you! :)
Comment from Aaqib Naeem
This was a really good story and I liked the bond between sister and brother here. Good on her part to be there for her brother no matter what. And also, that must be a really awkward position for the sister to be in her brother's body like that haha!
