Breasts!
Poor boy, how ghastly!
Maybe, for balance, sis has a peepee or balls?
That Reveal
It was a last minute add-on but it works to set the tone for later parts of the story.
Interesting Revelation
Jay's going to be hoodwinked sooner or later to come out. I don't feel sorry for Jay, I feel sorry for his sister.
Portia
J.C. and Jess
Something is definitely happening. I feel a bit sorry for his sister too.
spectacular!
Story reminds me of Sarah Carrera, which is saying a lot. Great potential: there are so many interesting characters. Just take it slow and develop them as well as you are doing. Some of the dialogue is about the best I've read (the end of chapter 2, for example). I just wish you could post a chapter a day!
Dialogue
I'm glad you're liking everything so far. Dialogue is something I pride myself on. I really try my hardest to make it work. I especially love some of the lines I wrote in Just Roll With It and Just Keep Rolling. The dialogue there between Christy and Kate---in my opinion---is some of the best I've ever written.
That and the backstory for Tara
Is really nice. All too often authors skimp on it and then I lose interest.
Tara
I actually have a friend named Tara. I took her name and the fact that she's from the south. The rest of her, I just sorta made up on the fly. Its funny because when I created her for that paragraph mention in the first chapter she was just going to be a casual friend of his---one he went to music lessons with. There was another character named Clara who was going to fill the best friend role. Then Clara got dumped, Tara got fleshed out more and there we have it :)
Enjoy your work...
You write interesting stories and I've enjoyed a few of them. The only thing that really puts me off, and it's really just a question of personal taste, is that the TG character always seems to end up a straight girl. I'm trying not to go into a rant here, but I'll just say that I'm usually hugely disappointed with this because it seems like all the stories worth reading these days--those that are interesting, have a plot, and are well written--always seem to end up that way and the more often I encounter it the more disappointed I get. ^_^; I prefer the character to end up a lesbian, or at the very least bi and I wish there were more stories like this one where it goes down that way.
Okay, that said, I do have a legitimate critique. You say you pride yourself on your dialogue, and it's not bad at all, however, my suggestion is that you learn proper punctuation. It will make your dialogue flow much better and it will be easier to read. Here's an example...
"He went to the store," she said.
"He went to the store!" she shouted.
"He went to the store?" she asked.
"He went to the store," she replied, "to get a gallon of milk."
Also, of course, there's only one speaker per paragraph of dialogue and it's helpful if that speaker is named as such so there's no confusion about who's speaking.
I'm not trying to be all grammar nazi on you, but proper punctuation and formatting can go a long way toward maximizing someone's reading experience and their enjoyment of your story. This is somewhere you can improve a lot.
Thanks for sharing. =D
Foreign bodies ?
They are my girls, my buddies.
Gwen
His breasts
It was something I was like "wait, I sorta just did that" but I've got a plan so I think people will like it lol.
Begs the question
How is he hiding them in gym?
Gynocomastia is not rare so I am really looking forward to the explanation.
BTW, Aren't we the clever clogs for choosing "J.C." as his initials. It sounds so much like "Jaycee."
Hmmmmmm ?
The Name
Huh...I hadn't notice... ;) :P
As for how he's hiding them, well he doesn't take gym :)
Huh?
Didn't he have a gym bag in the last chapter?
Hmmm
I'll have to take a look.
Bet Tara's Crew thinks...
JC is a girl. And is Tara planing on getting him to sing with her and the band tomorrow night as well?
Still think Jess gets the Short end of the stick, so would be nice if they become friends again.
Sophie
Tara's crew
Well Chuck clearly does lol.
I'll let the others handle
I'll let the others handle the minutia of what you are giving us especially the cliffhanger-like breasts thing so I'll add my $.02: there's something going on between Tara and Jordan that neither seems to want to acknowledge but it is pretty thick. They are more than friends. Tara appears to get it, but Jordan doesn't. They love each other. Jordan loves her more than Jess(sorry, but that's the impression he gives off about Jess) but less than boyfriend/girlfriend. Tara though seems to have a crush on him that borders on unrequited love...
I'm told STFU more times in a day than most people get told in a lifetime
Tara and Jordan
Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's in love with him.
Better and Better
I follow your stories faithfully. The characters are fantastic, lets face it your stories are awesome. Now if we could only get you to write more often, Every story you have written is a gem, but the time in between is so boring waiting for you to produce a new story or chapter.

Writing
I have these great long stretches where I write like crazy then poof nothing...sometimes for months. It sucks. I do have a lot of good ideas written down in my little notebook though.
I have 7 full chapters of this one currently written :)
"two foreign bodies"
Not two foreign bodies but his own set of twins!
Joanna
NICE LOL
I nearly laughed myself out of my chair lol.
Eh?
Eh? Oppai? (translation from Japanese- Huh? Boobs?)
quidquid sum ego, et omnia mea semper; Ego me.
alecia Snowfall
Boobs :)
Great cliff to hang from I think :D
...you along with most middle
...you along with most middle and high school boys! ;):P
I'm told STFU more times in a day than most people get told in a lifetime
LOL
I don't see any of those in J.C.'s future :P
Oh no, if anyone is hanging
Oh no, if anyone is hanging off them it's going to be Tara unless you have something even more shocking in store for us :D
Plus I couldn't resist the easy joke- you left it wide open for a smartass to run with it :p
I'm told STFU more times in a day than most people get told in a lifetime
Tara
Maybe, maybe not. Honestly I haven't figured it all out yet lol.
"just something I’m dealing with”
or not dealing with, in this case.
As in, he's got breasts !
The Breasts
Has to be one of my favorite cliffhangers I've ever written lol.
Knowing you
I bet you will milk them for all it's worth. Story-wise of course ;)
Milking It
I'll drag things out a bit but if people read the details, it won't be too hard to figure out :).
Hey!
What's wrong with a Ford Focus? A friend drives a Focus ST and it's great. 252 horsepower in a tiny frame that knows how to handle. I'd take it over a Mustang any day!
(The Focus in the story is proooobably not an ST, but still!)
Ford Focus
Nothing wrong with it actually. In fact, I found that car on the list of cars that teens these days drive. Its just not the car that either of my characters wanted lol.
Don;t you think JC should
Don;t you think JC should hook up with Tara's band just once. and bring it with his base?
Karen
Tara's Band
Maybe he will? :)
R-SO ZEE STORY NOW GETS INTERESTING "YES"
AAH yes maybe they are Intersexed "Yes" Now the story shifts into high gear? Love your stories! Thanks! LOVE YOU ALL! BYE! Tash.
They Are Something
There's something going on :)
Interesting revelation at the
Interesting revelation at the end of the chapter. I'm wondering how the press story is going to portray J.C. when it comes out, as the reporters believed him to be a girl. Maybe if he sings with Tara, both their lives will become even more intertwined than it is now.
The Press
I forgot about that for a bit actually. Then I remembered it when I was thinking in the shower the other day lol. Now I can do some fun things :)
It's a twin thing
Can't wait for next chapt. Kinda like the old
movies, you think you know what's going to
happen, but, the suspense has you holding your breath... Write faster, dangit!
Writing Faster
I have a lot of this written of this story actually. I'm currently writing Ch.8 :)
That was unexpected
Jordan seems to have his head screwed on straighter than his sister. At least he isn't bad mouthing everyone with a talent he doesn't have.
It sounds as though Chuck believes Jordan is she and not he. How soon before that bubble pops?
Going to the new teen nightclub has to be an opportunity for Tara to embarrass Jordan into singing. Unless she is snubbed before getting the chance.
Jordan has beasts, and Jess is flat chested. Hmmm...is that their only physical difference? Get the feeling they each have the others' hormones.
Others have feelings too.
Chuck
Its interesting there because Jordan of course did nothing to mislead poor Chuck. The man sees a girl and Jordan doesn't seem to try and correct him. There's another scene with the two of them alone I recently wrote, you'll see what I mean there.
Well
I honestly have to say, I didn't see that end coming. What reasons jc has for keeping that a secret I'm not sure, but this is certainly going to be a huge plot point in the upcoming chapters and I'm pretty excited to see how you deal with it :)
-Tas
Secrets
Honestly people keep secrets because they keep secrets. Sometimes there is no reason for doing so.
But secrets were made to be broken...
and I feel that we are going to be a roller coaster transition with JC being fought over :) I vote to push her to sing while playing :)
hehehe!
Sephrena
Nice Pic!
That's a really cool pic :D
"My breasts."
I'm usually fairly oblivious but for once I was half expecting this. Considering the shape of Jacy's body and the quality of her skin, not to mention the part about low testosterone, it's kind of expected.
I am so loving this story. Thank you.
So much for that.
I was going to pretty much make this comment. I guess I beat myself to it.
I love reading and re-reading EnemyOfFun's stories.
hmmm
Did Chuck think our boy was a girl?
Tara never said.
{Oh - having mentioned The Ventures in a previous comment: "Tara's Theme" from Gone with the Wind. Sort of.}
