Nice.
This was a nice chapter Bailey, I am not sure how Bailey is going to handle the 4 or 5 crushes on her. :) I wonder if Tiffany will be upset at Vince?.
How many can she juggle?
Tiffany is not upset at all. The subtle hint at the end is that Tiffany actually sent Vince to find Bailey. She wanted the two to hit it off, just as she had with Vince. Whether or not Vince and Bailey want to take it beyond that point, is to be determined, but for now he's just playing the part of the rescuer. Either way, Tiffany did give her blessing for Bailey to date boys in an earlier chapter.
As for the other crushes... :)
Thanks for reading. I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

Seasons of Bailey: Autumn - Part 6
Bailey sure has changed ever since his dad let him be the girl within.
May Your Light Forever Shine

With many more changes to come!
Thanks for reading stanman. :)

I'm still enjoying
this gentle tale of self discovery, and the self consciousness of youth. Thank you, Bailey for another enjoyable episode.

Does Vince know
that Bailey hasn't made a firm choice of gender identity? I ask this simply because the story is a little difficult to follow, due to the format of large chapters with a large timegap between their release. ...But format issues aside, it continues to be a great story. = )
Vince...
Vince is a rather new development in the story. He knows as much as Tiffany knows at this point, and that is that Bailey is confused on the issue at this point. He was just trying to be nice and keep her safe at the party.
On FM someone mentioned they needed a score card at this point. For myself I'm having to keep everything in spreadsheet format. This at least keeps myself sane. I do get confused at times though, so I can understand the confusion on the reader's end.
Would a rundown chapter be useful at this point? I could try to catch everything up to speed after the conclusion of Autumn's series. Or I can use the Winter series to refresh subplots, so it doesn't seem like a rehash? How would you prefer it be done? I'm completely open to suggestions.
I still apologize for the time gaps. By now I think you all know I write them as I go, so the longer they are the longer they take. Not to mention real life gets in the way sometimes. I'm trying to get a chapter out a month though, if I can. I'm just glad to see people sticking with it, despite the delays, and I hope you'll all stick around for more.
Thank you.

Stories are just like food.
Eat little and often. Big meals occasionally? Not good for you. =P I think the logical way to apply this to your story would be to simply cut each chapter roughly into four, and post weekly instead of monthly. ^_^
This is actually the second time I've given this opinion, so I'll give it a rest. It's your story, and I don't want to be a nag.
If you want to give us refreshers... Small flashbacks might work, but I would recommend putting in author's notes (that actually interrupt the story rather than simply show up at the end of the main body of the page) that prompt the reader to go back to a certain chapter.
=D
I don't consider it nagging...
I don't consider it nagging to give constructive criticism like this. I can understand yours as well as the plight of others trying to choke down long chapters in one sitting. I've got one more Autumn series coming (I'd like to wrap it up) and then I'll reevaluate everything for the Winter series.
There are a few issues I have as a writer which factor into why they're as long as they are. And I hope you don't think I'm singling you out for my responses, as it's not my intent. I'm just sticking to relevancy. I'll make a blog post in a little while about my own hangups, to garner more feedback.
I get what you're saying though. Others have said it as well. I'm not sure what you mean by author's notes, unless you're wanting me to drift into the story with my own voice? Will that not take you out of the story as you're reading? This is my first venture into writing this way (continuing story), so it's a learning experience for me. I'll go get started on the blog entry.

I don't mind
being singled out, as long as it's not for something I don't deserve. =)
meh
I will come out on the other side, I love your long chapters!! It helps me to stay in the stories, I will point out that I do not consider a book, a book unless it has 600 pages!! :) You keep everything moving along fine for me, this was an awesome chapter imho. I was hoping to see how Baileys drawing of Tawny turned out, but meh I can wait.
Agreed
your story's so interesting and well written. I'll keep reading it as long as you keep it coming :)
Thanks for the story thus far!
Bailey, you're the best.
Hey there Bailey:
I have to admit that I was a little reluctant to start reading this chapter, due to it's length. But after I started, time just melted away. I really can't believe that I just finished reading more than 23,000 words. And I thought I might have a problem remembering the details of your characters, but there was absolutely no problem in that department either. I put it all down to your incredible talent. You are such a fantastic author! Thanks so much for a wonderful evening.
Another great chapter
Well done. I really love this story - thank you.
Another great chapter..Hope
Another great chapter..Hope that Bailey finally comes forward to his doc, parents etc. That he want to become female..the writings upon the wall.

Foot still in the air
Bailey said something which caught my attention, and may be the crux of her problem.
When Bailey and Megan were finally able to have their talk, Megan related how her parents wanted to move in order to get her fixed and attend a new school. Megan said it wasn't what she wanted and put her foot down, defying her parents, something which wasn't supposed to be done.
Part of her being able to defy her parents was because something Bailey told her when they first met. Bailey needs to take her own advice, and put herself out there. Bailey needs to put herself out there. She needs to make it clear she will no longer be everyone TO everyone.
It's time she take the burden upon herself for her own decisions, and stop passing them to others.
That she still let's other make the decisions is evident in the costume Tiffany had her wear, and the time in the pool house.
That Tiffany had Vince dance with Bailey was helpful in that Bailey wouldn't have known how to have handled the creeps at the party. Plus, Bailey and Vince have more in common than not. Another plus is that Bailey now has another person she can open up to when needed.
Others have feelings too.
