switch842: (BN: Victor Chair)

That could be interesting....

Dear author. Your story sounded interesting. A new (to me) twist on the old gender-swap thing. I don't normally read gender-swap stuff, but this sounded sufficiently interesting enough for me to give it a chance. The header information all appeared to be grammatically correct and spelled properly. So, clicky I go.

However, I had to stop just into the second chapter when you had one character, who owns his own business, getting ready to go to a "chair holders" meeting. Ummm..... I don't quite think that's what you were going for.

How would a chair holders meeting work, anyway? Everyone shows up and "I've got my chair." "Here's mine." "Great. Meeting adjourned." I don't know...

*giggles and holds up her chair as well* I know they meant SHARE holders meeting but that is funny.

I know! This is why betas are good things. :-)

Yes they really are! I mean I don't always use one...but I don't think I've ever had THAT glaring a mistake either.

Me, too. Sometimes shorter drabble-y things, I'll just give a look over myself. But usually that's when you leave it for a day and then come back. Just to make sure you stop reading what you want it to say and actually see what it does say. LOL

*nods* Someone at least double checks to make sure I don't have horrendous mistakes...I've still found issues though...but most of the time I'm too lazy to pull them down and fix them. I should.

Yeah I rarely post anything right away...always give it a day or so...well except for short like drabbles.

LOL yeah seeing what they THINK vs what it does say...yeah I've had that issue.

I know! It's a rare variant of the musical chairs game, right? *giggle*

Yes! That's it! You hit it right on the head!! LOL

What was the twist?

Actual gender reassignment surgery. Started as female (wrong canon gender) and turned to male. I'm assuming. I never got that far. But judging from the first chapter that was what was going to happen.
