Chapter 1: Introduction
Though his short and slight build and androgynous features gave him a boyish look that was often thought effeminate, Paul had never thought of himself as any thing but male. But after reading the Femboy Challenge ad that popped up in his feed, he had to admit the million dollar grand prize was tempting.
The money would solve a lot of his current problems, and perhaps this was an opportunity to gain something besides being bullied and harassed for his looks.
Clicking on the link, he went to the website to see just what it entailed.
As he read, his first thought was this was too good to be true. Not just the Grand Prize, but the monthly stipend and gift card for purchases related to the challenge, would definitely help his financial situation. It was the last two rules though, that gave him pause.
The first was only wearing female clothing. The second, and far more troubling requirement, was using the provided HRT drugs.
As he was about to click out of the site, one of those annoying "Are you sure you want to leave?" popups came onscreen with the message reminding any contestants that once the contest was over, they could go back to being themselves.
Paul hesitated, pondering the implications of entering the contest. His looks would probably give him an advantage, but he had spent his life trying to minimize them, not enhance them.
Unsure, but lured by the prize, he decided that the smart thing would be to do some research. One of the first links that Google showed him was for Howard Pharmaceuticals that minimized any concerns about long term effects from HRT. After a few more similar articles, he decided maybe taking the hormones wasn't that big of a deal.
Thinking how the monthly stipend would solve his lack of employment and dwindling savings, he returned to the site and filled out the form.
Once completed and sent, he received an email saying his 'starter' package would arrive in a day or two.
