![]() It's not only really lazy, but feels very rushed and doesn't give me any idea what it feels like, or what the victim is thinking or reacting. Many stories (to my chargin) seem to go with the transformation as if ticking off a shopping list with descriptions such as “Then his hips widened and his boobs grew and then his penis became a vagina”. I want to feel like it's happening to me. Such transformations can add to the narrative, creating intrigue to what they are becoming and how the character will eventually deal with the end result.Īnother important element I like in such sequences is the sensual sensations that go with the transformation. I know transformations that can go for the majority of a story and not exactly be meant for arousal (Majorkerina's 'Animated world: drawn in' for example). I am not saying this is a set in stone rule. However, if arousing the reader is not your intention and you need to focus on other things, then the transformation doesn't have to be very long or just be a background element to what's going on. Personally I like them when they're drawn out as it keeps me wanting to see how much can be changed. If you want to arouse the reader, don't try to break from the 'action' so to speak. How long the transformation can depend on the story you want to write. I'm reading a tf/tg story, not a medical journal. If it's extremely short, how can I even enjoy it? However, I'm not asking to get really technical (like describing the constant shifting of every organ inside) to the point I'll find it hard to imagine or need a diagram to understand what is being said. My thought process generally is “The more that can be changed the better”, with the transformation being like foreplay to a sex session. How drastically they change will determine how your character will act in the story.Īs you may have noticed, I like to read male-to-female works with detailed transformation as it seems to be my 'turn on' for the lack of a nicer term. Contrast also adds an extra layer of tension to your narrative as a part of your character's identity has been taken away and replaced with something that doesn't fit. Also, if the subject also changes in personality (see my WereAsuka story), try to have fun as the character tries to adapt to their changing body and personality. You'll definitely have a bit more to work with in these situations and create emphasis for the drastic change. THEY HAVE THE SAME DUB ACTOR FOR FUCKS SAKE!īut what if we turned a weedy little boy (Shinji Ikari) into a voluptuous babe (Rangiku Matsumoto from Bleach)? Or a cute, small girl (Chiyo Sakura from Nozaki-kun) into a tall, handsome piece of beefcake (Makoto Tachibana from Free)? What's small becomes big, and what's big becomes small (or vanishes completely). Maybe fun for a body-swapping fanfic, but not really a big difference physically. ![]() I'm not suddenly going to turn Shinji Ikari from Evangelion into Mackey Stingray from Bubblegum Crisis 2040. This is probably obvious, but its the most important element of a transformation. Same goes if there's already been a transformation, and repeating it may feel like overkill.īut what if you do like transformations? Well. If the tone is mild or innocent and the transformation is going to be distract from the main plot, then I'll let it slide. The right time to use minimum detail or skip the transformation depends on context and tone. ![]() However, if you are interested in writing a transformation sequence (erotic or otherwise), here are some tips to try and help improve your skills in this department.ĭOES THIS MEAN I SHOULDN'T DO OFFSCREEN/'POOF' TRANSFORMATIONS?Įven though it's something I don't like in a tg or tf story, it would be unfair to say all 'poof' transformations are bad. I also am aware that not all stories of tf/tg nature need a transformation sequence in general. I am certain I must have gone against these rules at some point, and I don't think I'm really the best expert when it comes to these things. Some of these choices are really based on personal preferences so I can't really say you should treat these tips as the ten commandments or anything. This was something that came to mind so I decided to give my own advice to those who want to be the next Apsm.
