Description: A queen sits on a throne holding a symbol of intuition and life after death.

Association: The Queen of Cups is associated with Water and the number 13.

Positive Meaning: An intuitive often psychic woman who may be highly artistic and imaginative. Also, the world of positive fiction and fantasy, such as in books, plays, films and pictures. She can also represent all kinds of emotional therapy, family therapy and marriage guidance.

Negative Meaning (reversed): Blocked emotions, changeable moods. This card can mean a changeable, over-emotional woman who can be very manipulative, an "emotional vampire" who drains everyone around her. She may also be a woman who is locked into an unhappy relationship or career and doesn't know how to get out.

Man I would love to be next but I already just had a turn. Also I'm not at home so I can't really get help from Jei over Aim.

As long as you're not abusive, you can go again a turn after the person after you. It's all for fun anyway. Just if you do it, wait at least 3-4 posts before you go again.

Well Jaimie has next anyway. I think she'll do a great job.

SHE already replied when I had replied to this. So if you want next, go for it. I'll be waiting a few more before I go again.

(Teasing Jamie, hehehehe)

Well, we can always make that pronoun apply to you, Chorus Kate. *chuckles*

(Referring to something Autumn mentioned, and of course I'm just teasing back)

Hmm, Coru do you want to be the one to do the transformation?

I'm not trying to put words in Coruscate's mouth, but I don't think it matters who does the actual transformation. I mean, he could easily write a story with a transformation in it if he so wanted, so I don't think it really makes a difference here.

Okay this is what I have so far if I do go next. Um what do you think. Oh and what would the shoulders go to from being broad?

Alex turn from the mirror and closed his eyes. This could not be real everything that had happen in this house was wrong. He opened his eyes and turned back to the mirror. This time it was him as he was in the reflection. He was once again holding the dress in front of himself and the reflection was the same.

He was about to breath a sigh of relief when the dress started to melt onto him. The suit he was wearing melted away as the dress replaces it. Now both he and his reflection where in a dress that was too small for them, but it didn’t rip.

No the dress didn’t rip and it didn’t feel at all tight. His eyes grew slightly bigger, his nose was smaller, and the face lost its ruggedness. His hair grew to the exact length the reflection had shown before. His shoulders once broad were now…… His hand that were holding the dress in front of him and now were crossed over his chest became smaller the fingers longer. His waist became thin, but his hips widen. The hair on his now naked legs retracted as the legs themselves became thinner and smoother in appearance. His now bare feet too shank becoming dainty and perfect for the new center of balance he knew was coming. Thy came his chest swelled into to perfect breast, and although he couldn’t he knew his best friend was gone too. He was a woman now but a bit older then the girl who had been reflected before.

Bottom illustration.

You can see that a woman's rib cage is smaller, therefore her shoulders are less wide than a man's shoulders and the hips are taller.

Hands.

Run on sentence.

His waist became thin, but his hips widen.


Widened.

The hair on his now naked legs retracted as the legs themselves became thinner and smoother in appearance. His now bare feet too shank becoming dainty and perfect for the new center of balance he knew was coming.

Your wording is a bit... odd. The level of detail is good, but there seems to be almost no order to it, I think that's what I'm seeing.

But I'm tired, so you probably need a second opinion.
