Re: Things that you really dont like to see in a transformation.
Echoing a lot of what's been said already, poofs and excessive gore. A willed or understood transformation also just isn't my thing, I'm in it for that sense of alienation and confusion (honestly, the whole "what's happening to me?" shtick is what I live for). I'm also not a fan of designs and art that don't seem to understand the basic anatomy of the subjects involved, I really don't get how skin rips are even supposed to work.
Mental changes are another thing, personally, I like the subjects to be cognizant of their own changes and to realize something's amiss. There are certain exceptions to this rule-- I'm particularly a fan of this board's very own LycanDope, whose stories usually feature characters who are busy enough doing other things that they can't really respond to how their changing effectively, but they certainly know that something is off.
