Based on a True Story?
One statement I make in my Welcome to College series is that it is based on a true story. I guess the big question that leaves people with is "what parts are true?"
I changed several things to protect my identity as well as the identity of the people who inspired the book. I changed names and I also changed actual events both to protect anonymity and for dramatic purposes.
I received a mixed review on Amazon today and I found it interesting that the review thought my protagonist didn't resist. I probably made him resist more than I actually did. Once the girls had so many incriminating pictures of me, I was terrified of getting exposed.
As I write this series, I am wondering how to approach some things. For instance, I eventually do start to enjoy the process, but I don't want to let the girls know it. I think the girls figured out I was enjoying it at least somewhat, but didn't want me to know that they knew.
So, in review, yes I had some amazing feminizing experiences in college and that is the basis for my work, but you won't read everything that happened and you some events may have been altered for dramatic purposes.

I'm not sure which review you are referring to, but in my view Kylie doesn't really put up much of a fight when he meets Amanda again in college. Surely the threat, even with photos, of exposure of what happened years earlier at a summer camp wouldn't debilitate him to such an extent that he tamely allows the girls to gain even worse material with which to blackmail him. I would have thought that given Amanda is such a hot babe, the opportunity to wrestle with her would have been leapt at. Even if he lost it could have been a lot of fun doing so, and he wouldn't have been any the worse off. But to back down so timidly, without a fight as it were, simply played into her hands. Allowing her more sadistic side free reign to do whatever she wanted to do to him.
Those are both interesting interpretations. Amanda isn't what I would call a hot babe. She was an attractive young woman. She may have stood out a bit more at camp, where she was one of the older girls, but wow attractive she wasn't blow you away hot.What Amanda did have was a very powerful personality. She was a leader and when she wanted to feminize a guy, either to make a point or because she thought it would be fun, she was capable of getting other people to see her point. The reason that Kyle backed down from wrestling Amanda was she intimidated him and he figured it'd be easier to explain the makeup as him being a good sport without being forced to do it after losing a wrestling match.
As I compress semesters in 6 or 7,000 words, I'll have to be careful to show the resistance. I tended to leave out some of the mundane arguments.
James, the review I was referring to was on Amazon. I considered your review positive and was very grateful to see it. I definitely agree that there are places where it could be improved.
Irritatingly we have our own Amazon on this side of the pond which makes some things very difficult. For example, there are some books that are only available one site but not the other; I've never managed to find out why. Although I have managed to circumvent this by opening another account on the US site with a fictitious US address, not sure if I'm breaking any laws. If you want, I'll happily copy my review over to Amazon.com.
I would appreciate it James. I know about the multiple Amazons. I have a friend who does horror. Her books sold like blockbusters in Amazon UK, but she couldn't give it away on Amazon US.
Kylie's Corner
This is just a place for my thoughts on feminization and writing.

While its important that the guy be resistant to being feminized, the degree of his struggle is less important than how believably controlling and willful the woman (or man, perhaps) demanding his feminization is. A male paralyzed by fear of exposure, afraid to do anything but comply, doesn't make the story less hot.
If the reader is presented with a dominant character who is clearly capable of stripping someone's masculinity from him, reducing him, intimidating him, and turning him into a feminized pet, that's where the hawt comes in.
I thought Amanda was not only entirely capable of this, but rather brutally efficient at it.
