Changing for Gym: Fitting In

Submitted by on

Migrated from BigCloset Classic...
A new story in Xoop's Changing Room Universe: High school is about learning who you are and how you fit in...
Fitting In


This is light little story inspired by Xoop's 'Changing for Gym' at Big Closet. It could be considered a sequel of sorts, but is actually more of a stand alone story set in the same place. I do make use of Xoop's setting, and a few of his characters (School officials, Jessica Woodruff(in a supporting kind of role) and of course, Hill Street High School.

I have also, quite shamelessly, taken Xoop's intro verbatim just to maintain continuity, with apologies to the original author. But I just couldn't come up with anything better. The rest of the story is completely my own and I'll take whatever blame or kudos come my way for it. Now, on to the story....

I just want all my readers to know that I do appreciate all the comments. Some of those are as entertaining to me as the story seems to be to all of you.

So don't worry, there is more coming and Dahlia's intemperant mouth won't stop. She can't help the smart assed comments, it's just in her and she can't fight it all that well.

Thanks to all of you following this story.

“How can you drink this crap?” I asked Stu after choking down the first swallow of the beer he had brought with him. “Blotz is nasty stuff!”

“Hey, it's cheap, and after the first one you don't notice.” My friend answered almost defensively. Besides they're running this cool contest and if you win you're guaranteed a contract to star in their commercials.”

A Glossary for A Walk in the Dark

I do these all the time, given the number of characters and places I tend to put in my stories, just so I can keep track. It occurred to me that it might be helpful if I published this one so others could check back here to see who someone is or what a place is.

I'll be updating this as the story goes on, by the way.

Hopefully, it will be helpful.

Delays, delays, new OS, doctors, and all that.

Hi all. More of A Walk in the Dark has been kind of slowed down for several reasons. I recently bought a new computer, with a new OS (for me) so am playing with that to figure out how to get it to do what I want when I want instead of what it thinks I should do. I spent a month doing that with XP, by the way. But I'll get there. I actually like Windows 7, which is one up on when I first got XP.

Just wondering here.

There is fine story by Danielle J titled Duty,Honor, Country, Family that isn't getting any comments. I can tell from the votes that people are reading it. I know it's complex and difficult to comment on, but is it that hard to just leave an "I like it." for Danielle on this one?

The story is well worth the time to read.

Merry Christmas to all of you, and please accept my well wishes for any other holiday you prefer.

I was raised to honor Christmas, and I still do it, though I do know there are other holidays and beliefs that are important at this time of year.

May all of you, have the best holiday possible and maybe some will get a miracle. You don't know how much I wish everyone could have one. But please, be well, share the holiday with someone, and let all the other problems go for at least a day.

All my best to all of you.

My love.

A Walk in the Dark
Chapter 11

Author’s Note:Dahlia has learned a few things about her new self. Now it’s time for coming to terms with some of those. And no, she is still not a happy camper.

Something else about A Walk in the Dark.

You know, this story started out as an exercise in just seeing what if? I thought it would be fun to give the evil side of things it's turn instead of doing all that nicey, nicey good guy stuff.

It turns out that I have two good, decent people (Sam and Dylan/Dahlia) stuck with being creatures who are inherently evil in spite of their own personal inclinations. And everyone who sees them in this new world are going to just assume that they are evil because of what they are.

On this story... I started it weeks ago and got stalled for awhile. Thanks to Lillith's help I got past that and now the chapters just seem to tell me what is happening. I know it's kind of tedious just now, by the way, but Dylan/Dahlia has to get used to being what she is. These first chapters are about her learning that.

I promise that once that is done things are really going to be fun.
