hehe, nice fic! i liked the idea of everyone changing gender, but im still getting sick of the thought of baralai having sex with a FEMALE gippal >< and though it all got a little confusing i like the plot! and i lkie the idea of nooj being the one to figure out what is happening and somehow even PLOTTING^^ but i dislike leia having died T.T she was somehow really cool^^ well, anyway, nice!^^

At first I honestly didn't really know what to think. I did enjoy reading it and had fun as well. :)

Aww, Ry-Ry, why did it have to end? And why did you make that happen to Leia? >< Poor girl. Ah well, this story was worth it.

I remember printing out the first 16 chapters because I couldn't stay on the computer and I still wanted to read them. xD I love this story.

Fantastic. Though the thought of this being the end brings tears to my eyes. Fantastic job, it's been a pleasure following this story.

Most satisfying. And we have been damned patient with you. It was worth it, I must confess,

How on the FarPlane is poor dear Nooj going to adjust to being the mentor of a little girl who acts like he was her father from the start? Do you plan to explore that?

Really, Ry, this has been a long curious journey. Thank you for providing the vehicle. ;)

Yes, indeed. This is a most surprising development and ingenious to a fare-thee-well. Most excellently conceived. You have taken all the characteristics of all the heroes and put them to superb use. Wonderful, exciting and suspenseful. I found myself gripping the edge of my desk. *applause*

Grand story-telling. The business with the braiding the fringe is an inspiration. It conveys so much about Leia's attitude and reaction to learning so much so quickly. Well done, indeed.

Also, I am impressed by the easy control you are exercising over the shifting genders. You are making an excellent point that the only thing which really matters is love and trust. How I wish some of the bigots in our own world could finally realize that the trifling anatomical differences are as nothing in the enormous variety of love. ;)

Ah, the plot is uncoiling. And so elegantly. Ry, this is really good. You seem to have gotten a far firmer grip on the story during your sabbatical (as it were). The relationship between B and G is both emotional and logical and their slowly combining memories is a splendid ploy. Well done indeed!

BTW: you curse quite eloquently as well.

Wow. That was confusing. xD But not. Once the worlds were sorted out I kinda-sorta-got-it-not-really-but-shh.

^^ I like that you can write so much. I get stuck on writing what I want to say and then I avoid stuff. x.X Bleh.

You devil! You've turned the kaliedoscope again! How in the name of Ixion are you keeping up with all these twists? And how are you keeping the boys intact to their own characters in spite of the gender confusion? Lovely, Ry. Now don't make me wait so long for the next installment. Heh!

You have also done an excellent job on Lulu and Wakka. Not that I am in the least surprised. You have always had a knack for conversation. You are venturing into fascinating paths.

Nice cliff-hanger.

One caveat. You gave Nooj a restored body. Why is he still myopic? I always assumed his sight was damaged at the same time he lost his limbs. Do you have a different scheme?

This chapter flows very smoothly and well. Thank you for assuring me you did indeed finish the entire story. I also appreciate the speed with which you are posting. Now, don't slow down or stop. I am eager for the reunion of this family. ;)

First a nit: "“With she and Baralai casting the spell together..." You should use "her".

This is excellent. The use of Nooj is just right. He would be the one to explain and convince. It was always his forte. And didn't I say Leia seemed like one of his blood-line? Heh! The imagery is exact and exciting to my inner eye. Now you have me all het up again.

I like the direction this is taking. The pieces are fitting together well.

One thing which I am sure you realize - your reader's mind has to keep switching gears to keep the genders in line. Yuna and Gippal? Maybe this way but surely not the other. LOL

Are you perfectly certain Baralai is the father of this child? She sounds so much like Nooj I would assume he had a hand in her rearing.

Now you have me all curious again and I just bet you will take another sabbatical, you villainess (villainette? villainatrix?)

I am curious about another thing. Was this your original intention - when you started the story? There have been so many twists, I must wonder.

BTW: I was born with a shock of cotton-white hair. Do you suppose? ... Nah!

What a turn! Totally unexpected. You have made Nooj a sort of Hermes - the Messenger between worlds. Now I am very glad I did not read this chapter until I had the next one to hand. It would have been too frustrating to wait for you to get around to satisfying my curiosity.

A couple of minor nits: one's physical vision does not become 'bleak' although it does become 'blurred'. And you have some repetitions too clse together in spots. (just doing what you do to me!) ;)

I sometimes feel that the art of writing lies in setting up seemingly unsolvable conundrums for one or more characters. You have established a real poser here and I am eager to see how it plays itself out.

Your handling of feminine emotions in the quintessentially masculing Gippal is quite adroit. I believe in this hybrid you have created. ;)
