Mel, I thought
I was going to succumb from old age before you posted another part of this.
Not up to your usual quality? True, so as a penance post three more parts by tea time!
Only joking. It's okay although it did take a turn I wasn't expecting. Does wearing a dress make the wearer more cack-handed? Apparently, though I'm not sure it happened to me - I did, however, cease climbing ladders when so dressed.

It's not the dress
While not what you would call "clumsy," Becky is also not the most artistically-minded person in the world either. On top of that, a lot of the boys DO have at least a little sexism showing through occasionally, and it was assumed by all she would be good at the artistic or detailed work simply because she's for all intents and purposes a girl. When she doesn't live up to those expectations, it throws them off more than it would if they saw her as a guy.
That's how I'm interpreting it, anyhow :D

Well that is really true
Being in a sense, a hybrid, our artistic, or right brain, abilities will vary. I know after over 24 years on hormones though my right brain skills have improved quite a bit. My sense of color and style is very solid and I think I can interior decorate now with some skill too. I do not have painting skills and the like but I suspect I can be pretty good at embroidery. On the flip side, my left brain obsessiveness seems to have decreased a bit but not enough to prevent me from being a good engineer.
Point is, things can change if Becky goes down that path and like you said she is not totally incompetent just not girly girl competent. Beck started out from a place of being 'neutral', so yeah, it makes sense.

She seems to stay in the middle of any action. Wonder if she is related to Marcie Donner?

double post >_<

Yay!
Honestly, it was just great to see this back. :-) And you managed to add a surprising, if sinister, dimension to the character of Mr Swift. I thought he was angry just at the princess programme but what he did to Stew was just beyond the pale. And now I worry far more for Becky if she is determined to bring him down.

Jemima's right great stuff, an already great story
Just got some serious meat into the story. Looking forward to more.

Good way to expand perspective on Becky's world
Interesting that Andrew considers himself 'straight' despite his relationship with Becky. It is likely most of the school considers Becky a girl and only sees a straight couple so in a way she is further insulated from problems faced by the other Princesses.
Sadly the reality is that most gay folks don't care or understand the trans community. We can only really fight for ourselves.

Melanie, I am so very
Melanie, I am so very grateful to have another chapter of Princess for Hire. This is one of my favorite series. I would so love to have been in a situation like Becky's. I do think Beck/Becky has a lot of soul searching to do to discover what is best for him/her.
I need to catch up here
Hi, Melanie - I always liked your writing... I'm going to have to go start with the beginning on this one.
Nice to see you around!
