Thank You
I wasn't one of those who explicitly twisted your arm, but I definitely thought it to myself. I hoped for a continuation. You've done it. I gladly welcome it even with your "conditions." Thank you for bringing us more of Erica. She deserves to live whether it be as herself or as a part of Erik.
Thank you
Thanks for the start of the
Thanks for the start of the new Sequel, though I'm sorry if you feel pressured. I for one loved your Camp story, and have been looking forward to the sequel, but I hope it does not become a burden for you.
I am glad to see the friends stood up to the football jocks, that is a great start for Eric or Erica.
I do hope that Eric will settle down and give Dr. Barts a chance, Eric could use the help of a competent therapist. Not only because of Erica, but because of everything else that he has been dealing with.
Hugs,

Thank you
Your sequel or follow-up story is off to a good start. I am surprised & happy that you started it so soon. It makes me think you have some idea of the direction you would like to take the story. I am sure that we will all enjoy whatever twists & turns you offer us
Interesting beginning...
I look forward to discovering how things work out.
So far, the girls are standing by their friend... I hope they can continue to, once they face the building peer pressure. *sighs*
Thanks,
Annette
I think it would help if ...
... his camp friends would urge him to give Dr. Barts a chance.
Thanks for continuing.

BE a lady!
Good Point!
Particularly Tricia as she should know how important a good psychologist can be from her sister.
Eric/Erika needs to get some of his surpressed issues out and he/she needs help at school. What he has suffered there is beyond child abuse and neglect and frankly the school should be held responsible for not taking appropriate action.
It is this kind of abuse which leads to the kind of actions that occurred at the school that shared a name with the camp cabin.

The Psychologist
Is Dr. Brats qulified to help Gender Dysphoric patients, or did Eric's mom pick her figuring she would cure Eric from being Erica and the psych is a homophob? Not enough known yet to confirm or deny these charges. It seemed that eric was in there a very short time, and Eric didn't say a thing. I wonder if the mom told the psych everything and wants her to help her son be just that, her son ONLY.
Tricia should tell Eric the doctor that was used for her Brother/Sister. This obviously would be a better choice.
Thank you so much for doing a sequel. Erica was such a great character, I certinly hope Erica will become a real person at school. I hope the parents will become supportive, instead of combative. So far mom isn't helping, by curbing Eric(a)'s chance of having any outings. I do hope the columbine girls can come up with something to allow Erica a true chance at survival.
Great start on your sequal, looking forward to your next chapter.

Sam
Enjoyed camp and I'm sure I'll enjoy the sequel
I understand that sometimes the end is the end and that's all there is to say but I'm sure happy that you decided to continue the story. I was always of the opinion that Samantha would go back to the jocks and ignore "the plague". This beginning looks good. Maybe she isn't as shallow as I'd expected. Hope Tricia and Eric do a little cuddling in the theater. Not like their companions don't know whats going on.
Should Eric or Erica go to school? I'm not sure. Wish it could be whoever feels like it on a particular day but that's too much to ask for. Probably need to discuss a little Erica time with the doctor.
Anyway, Thanks for the sequel. I'm sure it will be one of the highlights of hte site.
I did not twist your arm, AA
and P.S. the combination to remove and disarm the thermonuclear BVD's we slipped on you in your sleep is four turns counter clockwise to 34, three turns clockwise to 2, one turn counter clockwise to 17 and clockwise until it clicks. If you get a blinking red light, you did something wrong, sorry. And who's to say radiation is all bad for you, look at the HULKTM.
Um, you haven’t moved anywhere near or upwind from Wauwatosa since then, have you?
I wonder for your picture could you crop together Death or an angel of death or a skeletal *plague angel* and a generic princess? Sort of Cinderella at the ball meets the third sprit of Christmas from the Charles Dickens Christmas classic.

Camp Kumoni Continuation
I am glad to see that you are starting a continuation to the story.
Eric doesn’t know what to do. There is no need for the author to know at this point. Is he truly transgendered, and if so how much? Could simply having friends transform his life as a male, with limited cross dressing? The readers may have expectations, but don’t let that drive the story development.
Admittedly for too many stories, the entire plot is not known by the author at the first chapter. Often they wander, so I quickly stop reading the later chapters. You created a basic setting at Camp Kumoni. The characters are in place. Take your time and let the plot develop. Don’t get trapped into posting simply because your readers are impatient.
Having said that, please hurry up and post the next chapter.
DJ
Doctor 'Who'?
DeeJay, that's an important point if I've ever heard one. Like the others, I appreciate AA continuing this story, but for it to be fun an adventure of self-discovery and conflict will be basic ingredients. As for reader expectations, I agree, let the story write itself. Self-discovery comes from conflict, but let's hope there is not too many trials that they overwhelm Eric/Erica. It would be a shame if he/she had to face something like Summer's plight. I wonder if Samantha would recognize it when she failed to catch it before. Oh, I better stop. I'm not the author here. And, good luck to its author as I'm sure the story will continued to be interesting.

Problem with Camp Kumoni
My biggest problem with Camp Kumoni was that it ended.
Thanks for continuing.
Continuing
When I read the last chapter of this story it was kind of a let down,I was looking for more. Thankyou for continuing this story. You have written this story very well and at the end of each chapter I know that I'm really looking forward to the next. This takes alot of your time to write and I feel lucky to read each chapter when you have them completed.
Yay!
Thanks! This story has brightened my day a lot.

Chills
A little too well written. The scene with the creepy macho guys from Eric's high school was truly chill-inducing.
Welcome Back, Erika
I missed Erika. It's nice to see her impending arrival. I'm assuming she'll be arriving soon anyway. So many options to ponder, so little time. :)
I like how Eric is holding on to all of his accessories. That should help with the options. I wonder if Dr. Barts can help too. We shall see.
It's a shame Eric can't be accepted, but Eric's loss is Erika's gain. I'll take whatever I can get in fantasy land. :)
Thanks and please keep up the good work. *sigh*

Great Start
Anistasia,
Great start to a new story. I loved your Camp Kumoni story and I for one am glad to see you continue with the characters. You did a very good job of creating them, and it is great to see them in a new set of adventures. Excellent!
Wendy Marie
Whether or not...
A finite length or not is not really an issue...
If its not a finite length you won't need to worry about a sequel...
And if it is a finite length we'll just twist your arms some more to get another sequel...
Yes your only option is to kill them all off now. :(
Great to see any sort of continuation.

What a cruel suggestion...
JC - please don't let the author see that suggestion!
But then, A. Conan Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes - only to have to resurect him. So, perhaps your solution isn't good enough.

Twisted the arm
A.A. I did twist your ARM and reads to a good start, and I'm sure you'll do a really good job if this start is anything like you have shown with Camp. Love It! Richard
Richard
Thanks
Glad to see the story cotinues :) Hope we'll have Erika back soon. And, really, I think Eric/Erika should be ;ore open to Dr Barts as she can help with Eric's parents. I was just a bit disappointed that the appointment went that fast. I like when I can say everything during an appointment w/o running out of time.
I was thinking that perhaps Erika could be introduced at school, it should be interesting to tell that story. But I don't think I have to worry as this is bound to happen at some point if Eric still likes being Erika.
I'm eager to read the next chapter :)
The sory's great, continue. And thank you so much.

Timed it just right :)
I had been avoiding starting Camp Kumoni for a long time--not because it didn't look interesting, but because it looked to be addictive, and the last thing I needed in my life was something sucking away more of my time. Well, when the holidays rolled around this year, it provided the perfect way to unwind after a long and stressful day with family; I finally got caught up New Year's Eve. And lo and behold, almost before I've had a chance to bemoan the fact that the series has ended, you've started the sequel.
Thank you! Both for Camp Kumoni, one of my favorite stories here, and for giving in to the begging and pleading for a sequel before I even had to add my voice to the din.
Solid Start...
So Dad IS that far out of the loop...not sure what it says about the marriage if Mom hasn't confronted him with even the information that there's a crisis brewing. I realize she'd like the whole thing to just go away -- or at least to turn it over to the shrink and let HER worry about it -- but there's the "plague" part of the equation looming too, as Mom learned from Samantha and Victoria at camp. I have trouble believing she's willing to accept the status quo there, and I don't know what she can do about it without involving Dad, beyond inconsequential things like picking Eric up at the movies.
This first chapter could of course lead in any number of directions, especially since we don't know whether the title princess is Erika, Samantha or Tricia. (Or none of the above, I suppose.) Living a double life at school itself (and doing so without Eric's parents knowing, and probably with Dr Barts in the dark as well) would be tough to accomplish believably, though A.A. is welcome to prove me wrong on that. And of course Eric is still uncertain how optimal a solution that would be, since he hasn't figured out whether Erika is a real inner reflection or just a coping mechanism for Eric's plague status. Going to school as Erika probably won't change that unless Erika starts getting attracted to boys.

Thanks,
This a verry prommising start, if you want a clue for for some plots, i have a few already in my mind.

Yay!
It's great to have the sequel! Camp Kumoni was wonderful, and I for one hope you'll keep this one going for quite a while :)
Don't worry about where it is going - the Characters you have created will lead you down their own paths. And you have already given yourself enough to work with from this first episode - Eric/Erika's building of trust with Dr Bart, the integration of Eric into the gorup of friends from camp, and how they are going to cope with Eric's reputation once back at school. Just let it flow.
Keep them coming!
Thank You...

I did not make a comment when i read all of Camp Kumoni.
But i wanted to say thank you for doing a sequel.

A possible plague solution
Samantha can tell all her cheerleader (and other) buddies, in glowing terms, how Eric risked himself to save her from a rapist. That should bring his stock up among the popular girls, and most everyone else who hears the story.
What girl is going to date someone who harasses the hero who saved Sam from a rapist?
- also -
Mom seems a bit reluctant to let Eric hang out with his new friends. After seeing what a sad loner he used to be, she should be absolutely ecstatic that he has new friends.

So Glad
I am so glad that you continued with this story. I hope it doesn't become one that will end up being unfinished. I wish I had something similiar like this happen to me. You have your way with words your chapters are a bit short at times in my opinion but that doesn't take away from your abilities to write, unlike many others that do. I noticed a few suggestion that seem like wonderful ideas for the story, I also think that when Eric met Dr. Bart that he should have been sitting in a manner that he was in the waiting room that his mother hated. I also think that we should have heard just a little bit on what is going on in Eric's mother head if he has to see the shrink.
We Don't Know, Actually,,,
...how Eric's posture and mannerisms stacked up while talking to Dr Barts. It wouldn't surprise me at all, considering that he was talking about the friends he made during the summer, if he had taken on a more feminine sitting position and speech pattern while discussing them. And (as we saw in the waiting room) Eric probably wouldn't have noticed it himself. Dr Barts most likely would have spotted it, since she would have been looking for that kind of thing after talking to Eric's mother, but the doctor wouldn't know Eric well enough to be certain and wouldn't make a "gotcha" comment at a first meeting with an unwilling patient in any case.
Eric
Lots of hurdles ahead
... to say the least. To go full-time as Erika will be a difficult task but it hinges on Erika whether she can convince the good doctor that she is interested in transitioning. Problem is, we do not know if she is TS bound. I cannot see how she will get much support to go full-time without the need to transition. If Erika is TS bound ( at minimal live full time - surgery optional ) then she really will want to prevent male puberty from progressing even further - voice changing - beard - so she can buy time to make a real choice.
I confess that I have only finished the first twenty-one parts of the original series and started it only after reading this episode accidentally. I am not usually a fan of crossdressing-only stories so I had ignored this series until now when I read this chapter. But now I I am as hooked as the rest of the commentators. The cast of characters are diverse, non-trivial and creatively used and shows sisterhood at its best. At its worst, women can be back-stabbing and socially power hungry - queen bee syndrome - and petty and nasty too but I am glad so far ( up to chapter twenty-one ) that has not been the case.
Finally, I, as much as anyone else am curious if Eric is slipping into feminine mannerisms ( beyond the aforementioned feminine way of sitting. ) It is very hard to change back when you have finally found your place. I am sure I will gain more insight as to how Erika has come to this place in her life and what her choice will be.
I am thankful for the author for continuing the series also.

Camp Kumoni is one of the
Camp Kumoni is one of the big catalysts for my getting back into writing. Eric reminds me so much of myself when I was his age, and it was only by the grace of a small group of mostly female friends that I got through the rough patches.
I never got to be Zoe at school, even though a number of oppurtunities presented themselves, buuuut I won't get into that. It's nice to see the Lavender Ladies continuing to support their friend even after the return; I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!
Rubber arm
I am a good eight years to late to twist your rubber arm. Thank you for writing this sequel anyways.
Acceptance
I thought her mom was more accepting, I still hope she can go to school as Erika.
hugs :)
