Podcast followup
14 years ago
This is a followup post to this journal, but I'll try to summarize the details again here!
I like TF, and I like hearing other people talk about it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. So I want to do a series of round-table discussions so that various people from the TF community can get the word out about their point of view. I'm not expecting these to carry any authoritative weight, they're more for the fun of making them than for the end product!
These podcasts are finished:
Costumes and TF
The following topics have generated some interest! I'd like to get five guests per topic.
TF as a fetish: (full)
The mind and TF: (full)
Character TF: (three people, missing two)
TF Roleplay: (three people, missing two)
Inanimate TF: (two people, missing three)
Human/Animal TF: (one person, missing four)
TF art: (two people, missing three)
Gender and TF: (one person, missing four)
I'm still looking for volunteers for the following topics:
TF writing
The online TF community
If you have a suggestion for a topic I haven't listed, please, I'd love to hear it!
PLEASE PICK A TOPIC. Once one fills up, that's it! It's first come, first serve. The only qualifications necessary are an excess of passion and a variety of insights. Big names, small names, it doesn't matter. And guess what? I'll keep the participants secret from each other until it's time to record, so you'll have no idea who you're going to be talking to. :3
If any of you need help choosing, here are the topics again. I've added a few prompts this time, in case you're not sure what I mean by the titles:
- Transformation art (what makes a TF picture effective? what are the particular challenges of drawing a transformation? single images vs. sequences, pros and cons? best places to find and post tf drawings. your favorite pictures and why.)
- Transformation writing (where do you start a TF story? describing the aftermath. using words to make someone feel like they're in the story. best places to find and post tf stories. your favorite stories and why.)
- Gender and transformation (transgender transformation. feminism and transformation. the appeal of gender stereotypes and transgressing gender boundaries.)
- Inanimate transformation (dehumanization, machines, plants, immobility vs. mobility. transforming a human into something non-anthropomorphic.)
- Character transformation (identity fluidity, tf into recognizable/pop-culture characters, assuming the identity of a friend/enemy/stranger, wanting-to-be crushes)
- Human/animal transformation (mythology, shapeshifters, some animals are more popular as tf species than others and why. realistic animals vs. symbolic animals.)
- Transformation as a fetish (D/s relationships in TF, trigger moments, difficulty of having a TF fetish, keeping it out of the public eye vs. being open about it)
- The TF community on the web (can the community be mapped? how we support/argue against community. the role of social media sites. the tf community on youtube. tf community without the web, is it possible?)
- The mind and transformation (what could be happening in the mind of someone who's transforming? mental transformations. hypnosis. psychoactive drugs. simulating transformation IRL by fooling the brain.)
- Costumes and transformation (relationship between costumed performance and transformation fandom. building costumes with transformation interests in mind; materials and technical considerations. the assumption of an alter ego.)
- TF Roleplay (where do people roleplay? the importance of roleplay in the TF community. roleplay and writing/other artforms.)
Leave a comment (or note me) and please tell me which topic(s) you want to be involved in. If you have a clear preference for a particular topic, only list your favorite. This helps me decide where to slot you in.
I'm looking forward to doing this. :)

I also had another topic that might be interesting: TF as a business (In a world where TF magic is real, but rare, using it as a method of income. for example: Pleasure Island, magical costume shops, revenge-for-hire)
The Mind and TF for me please.
I've had some heavy experience in that area, will describe it to you that time. And for TFRP, if you need another person I'd like to help there too.
I better get onto my story writing.
Nyeh heh heh!
sign me up!
this sounds awesome
