This is the primary reason why your version vastly dissapointed me. RpM's
version threw together a bunch of popular characters with no apparent
overall plan for humor; you have basically turned the concept into a
one-joke pony.



   Really, now? That seems to be a rather limitted view. This sort of
situation has
a huge number of possible permutations. There's only one joke all you could
conceive from this? Oh my.

Your story simply does not have the variety or comedy potential of RpM's
work, simply because you have fixed it so all the characters are either
cross-dressers or perverts. All the jokes have already been told. There is
nothing original, in my mind, to make me want to read more of the series.



   No variety. Well, well, well. Shall we fall into stereotypes so
quickly?
These characters do NOT neatly fall into cross-dresser/pervert categories.
Admittedly, some of them do handily fit the niche, but you're being awfully
quick to judge.
   Just because, let's face it a lot of jokes have been worn thin with
regards
to... I believe the politically correct term is 'gender illusionists' does
NOT
automatically mean that the well has been exhausted. After all, it's more
interesting to twist in new and unusual ways a well worn path. I've done
my fair share of beating out new ground already.
   All the jokes... hrhm... that'll be the day.

So I won't.


Then don't.

Sorry.


It's okay.
