Stuart doesn't really know why he's going to college. He doesn't know why he's in the metamorphic-science program. In fact, he doesn't really know why he's doing *anything,* other than a vague sense of obligation and persistent existential angst. But when he and two of his classmates are caught in a freak lab accident, he suddenly has much bigger things to worry about instead. (Well, make that "in addition to.") With he and his lab partners stuck trying to cope with unfamiliar new bodies, deal with angry *and* curious faculty members, re-integrate into campus life, and come to terms with their own personal issues, it's anybody's guess where it will all end up for them...
The first standalone novel from the weirdo who ringled a number of long-running and highly eclectic interactive stories on Fiction Branches and elsewhere, it's a (hopefully more structured and focused) slice-of-life mad-science gender-bender dramedy full of introspection, emotional growth, and what another author in the community refers to as "gender feels" (plus some good old-fashioned mildly sexy hijinks and dirty jokes.) Don't miss it! Or miss it, whatever, it'll still be here. C'mon. You know you want to.
Updates Fridays, God willing.
I can only agree with everyone else. It's a top story with great depth. I don't really have the words to explain how good it is.

And a fool I was to ignore the beauty presented to me.
Kept seeing this in my search filters, didn't think much of it, I was wrong, full of introspection that younger me would have had to take time to think of, but introspection that the me now has all the answers for.
Cogito ergo sum. 5/5

I read this whole series in a few days and loved it. Far better writing than I have seen in other TF-themed stories. As a computer science guy myself, I especially enjoyed those side characters. Do not be scared off by the Mature tag, it is very mild.

A new favorite of mine. I like that it deals with the psychological terror of knowing free will doesn't really make that much sense and having a sense of having it, and the subtle compulsion to want a changed life and body but not being able to articulate it, and the idea that the mind is more software than hardware. Anyways read the alt ending it is way more deserved and satisfying than the original ending.

Absolutely wonderful story. It pains me on the inside how short it was, but it accomplished everything it intended to do and I cannot blame it for that.
Great characters, great story and overall wonderful writing
