The Same Inside is an early, hilarious, and hugely influential popslash genderswitch story of Chris Kirkpatrick spending months as a woman. (First line is, "Somehow, in the night, Chris had turned into a girl." The only other reason given is '"I called my mom, you know, and she just said it. happens. sometimes."')
The story influenced other popslash stories in the way the backstage aspects of their life were seen, and influenced other genderswitch stories in popslash, and later in Stargate Atlantis.
Reactions and Reviews
And to start it off, Helenish's The Same Inside. In which Chris Kirkpatrick wakes up one day a woman. One of the boys turning into a woman is a fairly common AU scenario. Due South may want to be the fandom of magical realism, but I think that PopSlash owns the title. Odd and magical things happen to them, and are dealt with. After all, is waking up a woman any stranger than the discovery that one's choreographer is the Devil, or that your face is on the cover of a magazine, or that you are a shorthand for the decline of western civilization? Not so much....
This one, in which Chris Kirkpatrick turns into a girl, happens to be my personal favorite of them all. It's sweet, it's funny, and it's got some terrific dialogue.[1]
