Hi! I'm working on a sticky block and somehow found myself searching through my memory for a story I once read, but have lost somewhere... I think it's in my amygdala, but I could be lost even there...
The story was about a teenaged boy - trans, at it turns out (!) - hoodwinked into a girl's identity by his cousins, who finds herself a TV (sic) weather girl, and then a reporter, and finally a news anchor, all in one summer.
Does anyone remember this chestnut? Your help would be appreciated.
:-)

One of Crystal's stories, maybe.
It sounds like Crystal's 'How I Spent My Summer Vacation'.

Thanks!
That's the one, and y'know, I wouldn't have thought it was a 'summer vacation' kind title in a hundred years! I was kinda kicking around the character's name, and the city... or the station ID letters...
Memory is the first thing to go, y'know... that, or the knees. Or the filing system. Or maybe it was shock absorbers...
No, I'm pretty sure it was the, that.. that first thing I said.

Thanks for the memory, Deejah!

How I Spent My Summer Vacation
I'm going to have to re-read that one now :-)
Or it could be Paula Dillon's
Or it could be Paula Dillon's And That Is The Way It Happened, here on this site.
Thanks,
I'll look at that, Lesley

I like the mellow, parchment look there! I'm off to read and see why this one was picking at my hind brain!

That's the the one.....
It's a great story. I just wish Crystal would find the time to finish it. (hugs) Taarpa
