All Comments on 'What's in a Name? Ch. 01'

I immediately assumed someone was plagiarizing the original story, but when I checked to see your other stories, I could see the additional chapters of this tale, and the dates when they were posted. So, glad to see someone isn't ripping off a story I'd like the first time I'd read it, but I'm now confused. Why repost the story, and why not inform readers that it was a redux? And explain what (assuming there are) changes in the story justified a re-telling?

This has to be the most psychological story I've seen in I/T. I can understand the name switch. I changed over to my middle name in high school, but didn't change otherwise. Joan seems too eager to leave her former identity behind, and is moving too quickly. I had to laugh at "Beth isn't your daughter" though. She may feel like a new person, but that doesn't change blood. The father is sort of weak for falling for that rationalization. But despite saying this, I can see how adopting a new name could give you a new lease on life and where that could lead.

A good story idea, but a bit clinical and lacking in feeling. Rewrite to show some emotion, and this could be a winner.

I would have rated the story much higher if it wasn't a repeat or stolen from someone else because I have read it all before right down to the same names.

If it's a repeat so sorry, but if it's stolen from someone else you should be ashamed!

To the first commenter, the reason it seems familiar is because the story (with slight modifications) WAS posted before. I am the author of the original story, and this is a re-write of that story.

I'm not sure why the first post of this was removed. I changed it in response to a comment suggesting that I expand certain parts. When I submitted the edited version, it was rejected, and the original was removed. The original was short enough to fit on one page. I increased the interplay following the TV show and expanded the sex scene.

Good story, but just as a reminder, if the father had had a vasectomy, ejaculation would not be possible. The testicles create the sperm and upon removal, an orgasm will occur but no ejaculation will ensue.

One worry among men is that after a vasectomy they’re going to be shooting blanks. In fact, there’s no noticeable change in the amount of a man’s ejaculate, in what it looks like, what it smells like, what it tastes like. Less than 3 percent of the volume of ejaculate is made up of sperm.

Advice on realism isn't all that useful when it's based upon a myth.

I may be in the minority, but I really appreciate a longer build up with more teasing and tension before the main event. Still this was a good short read.

I like build up as well but this story was written to "matter of factly".. not hot at all, especially the drawn out safe sex shpeal. Killed the mood - seriously my least favorite story of all time.

Good read. Not too long but sexy
