"Serious" writers writing TF fiction.

Not gonna happen - at least not to the fetishistic extent that amateur writers (myself included) like to go. It's blunt and ugly to reduce a whole subgenre into something basically meant to "get your rocks off", but let's face it, that's what it's all about, more or less.

Have you read that Bukwoski short story, though? I swear, the way he works with the sex appeal behind the man shrinking and the witch making him into some kind of sex toy is actually quite similar to what can often be posted in these threads.

But essentially I'm curious about interesting takes in process themes from this kind of authors any of us may have stumbled upon.

I doubt the process would be covered. They would most likely focus on the effect of said transformation on the characters life. Most stories I've read in my fetishes (BE, GTS) of chose, and thought I wonder if these could be published. Usually involved no sex or verey little. I just recently finished reading this one and it seemed to me if the author tried a smaller publishing house it could be approved and sell some copies, maybe even outside the genere. http://mg-sg.pbworks.com/w/page/5824...nti%20By%20LBP . I think to be blunt it depends how much of it is for lack of a better term "smut" and how much focus on the "human condition" impacted by said changes. Also of course quality of the writing.
