A note to the general audience: this is an oddball, and I'm not entirely sure it belongs in Sci-Fi and Fantasy (though it would probably fit even worse in any other category.) Don't worry, though, as unlike my last story this contains no masochism--it's closer to the "transformation" end of things. A note to those like Mack: I tried to research your lore, b...

Only seen her once in the horizon. She rarely bothers anyone these days. But can I get my money now?" Zalen nodded, handing the guide the rest of his paymen...
When my girlfriend of two years mentioned she liked to watch female impersonators perform, I seized the opportunity to confess my lifelong addiction to cross-dressing. The expected reaction of disbelief was no surprise but her reply of, "Well, let me see you dressed," was although welcomed, a bit of a setback. I'd not planned the truth to be revealed at suc...
