Yeah I'm the singlet who liked the story. Thanks Mal... XP
I really actually enjoyed reading this. I really did. Now maybe this is because I'm not multiple, and I wasn't able to be offended by the word 'alters' or not, I don't know. I do think that 'Plurally Inclined' is a much better title, though, and reflects back onto Heather and her screename, and how she met Tyler and so on and so forth.
Generally, I thought it portrayed multiple as being a Good Thing (tm). It may not seem this way to the guys who actually know about it, but to me (the lay person, as Malak put it), Heather's friends seemed to be one of the best parts of her life of her life, and I was left feeling 'nooooo don't do it!' when the doctor wanted to her to ignore them, and put her on drugs. I didn't think it portrayed it as a sickness. I was left feeling that the doctor was wrong.
The ending was a bit too 'happy' though. If it were my story, I'd have got them together, but maybe not married. But having BJ as the flower girl was cute.
BJ though. Um? o.O
I dunno. If you'd called the story 'queers' or 'weird spacko Otherkins' or something that relates to me more personally, maybe I would have been offended. Who knows? Do a find change for alter, and I reckon you're sorted!
