The Origins of TF

[Fredthemarine]

There was an actual forum very generically called the 'transformation forum' or something very similar back then. I assume it closed down after a few years as since the mid 2000's the Process forum has been the main forum I check for TF info, alongside metamorphose.org.
Back in 2000 when I first found that transformation was a celebrated shared interest, the main sites I focused on were Werekatt, Shadowlordinc, Chica's website and the Anime Transformation Archive. I really miss the days of artists having their own webpages rather than everything being uploaded to a handful of large sites.

The first transformation work I ever found online in 1999 was actually a Pokemon fanfic called 'Poke Syndrome' where Misty is turned into a Pikachu. I was just a kid but I would sit there and stare at the sentence about Misty's body being enveloped in light as she shrinks to the ground in the grandest awe.
