What do you like in a transformation story?

Jake T Catt · 01-15-2009

I'm working on the very beginning of a new story, and I was wondering what people want most in a tf story. A transformation scene, obviously. But what else?

Please be honest and help me out here. I'm trying to make something the most possible people enjoy, so your answers will directly affect this new story.

Actually not obviouslly.
A lot of traditional stories with a transformation in them(pre 1900)
were cousins and daughters of earlier non-transformation stories
because they had a plot and elements derived from the earlier
non-transformation tales
(eg Lambes transformation narrative "The laidley Worm o'
Spindleston Heughs(about 1768) borrowed lines from
the non transformation ballad The
Lambton Worm( lets say 1550)
and its possible Kempion (lets say 1550 again) borrowed stuff from the
hagiographies of St Margaret of Antioch and St Thaneu and her son
St Mungo(Kentigern)(maybe 1000)

So its not much of a leap to take the plot from a transformation narrative
such as (oh lets say) Morris's "Lady of the Land" poem(~1860) and turn it into
the non-transformative novel "Dragon's Keep" (2007) with its love cursed
young woman in a castle on a island.

oddly enough, even though I dont fap to this stuff, I like sexual content.

Is it weird to go to /d/ and not fap?

edit: also agreeing with Apsm

I suppose a TF scene thats sexually suggestive, as long as the story doesn't become OVER saturated with sex (ie the victim becomes a sex crazed whore), and ends on a happy romantic note.

No-Man · 01-15-2009

I like me some sex over saturation. This is a fetish forum and if I'm going to indulge in my fetish, I like sexual content. Now I do think there's a point when too much sex can actually detract from the sexiness of the piece. But I like sex. Sex is good. Plot is good too. I'd rather have both, but I can find pleasure in one or the other as well.

Snowglare · 01-15-2009

I mainly look for process and sex in TF stories, with process being far more important. Plot can be good, but I generally look elsewhere for plot-based stories. For TF, about all I'd want is a reversion or some sort of balance at the end; either the changes stop or they become controllable.

It'd be something if you created characters I could care about and engaged me in the ups and downs of their story while still providing sexy process. The problem there is, if bad things happen to those characters, I'll regard them as bad things, whereas in most TF stories I can let a fair bit slide if it's presented the right way. Mind control/mental TF gets a whole lot creepier when it happens to someone you like.

Cursebearer · 01-15-2009

I do not like sex in my TF stories at all, unless it is human on human. I especially find arousing transformations to be quite unappealing, and even worse are stories that turn the transformee into a complete nympho whore. But I believe in this case, I'm in the minority.

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a pervert, and I like sexual content in TF stories. I also like some sort of plot, though it doesn't necessarily have to be complex or original. Hell, I still like clich?d "woman gets bitten by a were(something), woman turns into a were(something)" plots.

Even if I don't agree on the sex part, I totally agree on the plot part. :P The old woman gets bitten thing never gets old for me.

Fred Londi · 01-16-2009

IMO, you can't go wrong with spectacle. I like TF stories that overwhelm the senses with their descriptions; it's fun to let yourself get carried away with all that imagery.

Making the sequence sexy goes a long way toward accomplishing this.

CK01 · 01-16-2009

Plot. At least a little build up to what is about to happen.
