An Enchanted Summer

Lanie Saunders wants nothing more than to go to The Eras Tour, the person who is supposed to accompany her, her big brother, who is home from grad school for the summer, doesn't want to go. Alex is worried someone from high school will recognize him, and to him, there's nothing more embarrassing than being seen at a Taylor Swift concert. But Lanie has an idea: what if she casts a spell that will disguise Alex? Alex thinks the idea is silly, because magic isn't real, but he's about to get an up close and personal lesson at just how real it is -- and how magical a night at a Taylor Swift concert can be.

AUTHOR'S NOTES:

When I posted my first long TG story on here, I did not think it would be eight years before I posted another one. But here I finally am, with a story I started writing about a year ago, then tinkered with a lot over the past year. Unlike my last big story, this one focuses a lot more on the person who triggers the transformation, rather than the person who gets transformed. It also involves identity death for the person who gets transformed, so if that's not your thing, feel free to skip this one. And for those who've read "My Shallow Regret," you'll notice this story uses names that are very close to that one -- there's no connection between the characters, I just like using the names.

Also, shoutout to anyone who can use the small clues I tucked into the story to figure out where the main characters live.

The Perfect Dress, Part 2

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry for my lengthy absence, but in addition to battling my depression, I've been dealing with a crippling case of writer's block, not just in the TG field, but in my professional life as well. But the other day I decided to re-read some of my old pieces, and I was struck with the sudden need to give "The Perfect Dress" a new ending. Hopefully this leads to a new beginning for my creative juices.

A young man who never expected to wake up again finds himself in the hospital with a new outlook on the rest of his life.

My Shallow Regret

Andrew Carlysle is 25 years old, still living at home with his soon-to-be divorced mother and younger sister, both of whom treat him as nothing but a disappointment -- and it'd be hard for him to disagree. After watching the latest big Hollywood reboot, he starts to think about what his life would look like rebooted, only to discover the answer is like nothing he could have ever imagined. After becoming Alana, he just wants to get back to the life he's supposed to be living -- but which life is that?
