I didn't like the introduction of a sexual element in chapter 18, I don't think it was necessary and added little to the plot, however I like the use of the crib abd high chair. Heather seemes to be spending a lot of time with Summer's family.
Another two excellent chapters, I love the way poor Summer is becoming more of a baby, the vacation could be very long with much more humiliation to come
I think that there were quite a few long gaps in between chapters and the alternate version was to fill that void. I agree that the direction is different but interesting none the less. Personally I like the original version but there is a place for both, I also agree that it was / is a shame that Pink decided to leave this forum.
Thanks, I enjoyed this story, I agree it was a little short and it would have added more interest to have seen how Melanie's other school friends reacted. All that said it was well worth reading.
