How do YOU think Contraindications should end?
14 years ago
General
So after what? Four years? the end to the long-running Contraindications saga is right around the corner.
I know exactly how it's ending, and have for some time. The ending isn't changing. But here's my question to you:
If you could see anything happen at the end, no matter how weird or out of character, what would it be? What would be the hottest ultimate fate for our poor, put-upon otter? Does he grow to absurd sizes? Does he become a monster and have a wolf supper? Does he shrink back down to nothin' again? Does he go to space? (Spaaaaaaace!) Let me know what boats your float!
Don't say anything you want to keep, though! There's likely going to be a print version of this coming out, and you may see your suggestion appear in an unexpected way!
EDIT: You guys, as I said below, I'm not asking about this from a literary standpoint. I'm talking balls-to-the-wall, full-blown, fetish freak flag flying.

Hmm, what would I want? Maybe our hero to revert and love his body as it is? =9
...That's practical me. Kinky-me says sexing himself up to house-size is just the beginnin'! The bigger he gets, the stronger his musk, the more males he starts attracting, and the more he gets worshipped and sexed up. It eventually wears off... when he's the size of a mountain. And every male within a hundred miles goes gay for him, like it or not. He settles down, enjoying his new life as a sex-god, never lookin' back. Awwww yeeeeeaaah. Unf.
...But yeah. The foreshadowing at the end of ch9, and then nothing for 4 chapters made me all antsy to figure out where you were going with the Saul subplot, so really, what I'm most excited about is the prospect of seeing a satisfying conclusion to that (and hopefully a BIG one, IYKWIM). After that, I do want to see how Matt and Stetson's relationship is reconciled with his new size, and I'd really really like to see Matt not-shrink. Beyond that, pretty much anything could happen and I'd <3 it.
But somehow I don't find that likely to happen, just based on my own speculation of where the story is going from here.
Damn tease!
I would end the story by having Matt going unconscious at some point in the theoretical rescue, and waking up several weeks later in a hospital <s>bed</s> pallet. His month slept away, a nurse summons a doctor who explains to him how the world has changed in his sleep. Terry, the raccoon store clerk, was the only person outside the hospital with the ingredient list after Matt ate his copy in the gym. Experimenting on his own, he was almost fired up until the point he actually succeeded and seduced his boss. Hilarity worthy of a side story ensues, eventually concluding with Terry being put under himself and currently kept under for another week somewhere in the hospital.
The parent firm of the hospital suddenly finds itself as the holders of a miracle combination of supplements with proven repeatable results. The Hippocratic Oath gets pushed to the wayside as the CEO tries to find the best way to make a profit for the firm stockholders (and himself) with this. This results in another escapade with existing cast (you didn't think Terry's story wouldn't get by without increasing the cast, did you) being divided into two camps: the protagonist underdogs and antagonist corporate dogs. It would of course result in a positive ending bringing us to the present.
Matt, as it turns out, is going to be getting along just fine as the primary patent holder of the biggest supplement since... oh I don't know, fish oil. There are other financial ducks that need to be put in a row now that he's awake and can give written consent, but before that takes place Stetson bursts into the room and the story has it's happy conclusion, any potential epilogs non-standing.
So yeah... that's how I would do it. Amazing how I never get anything done, isn't it? ;p
But, from a literary standpoint, I think from the way things are going, it might play out like thus:
Matt seems to feel put upon, suspicious and resentful of authority figures - ie, figuring everyone is out to get him. He's had unpleasant experiences with his boss, his doctor, a cop, and guys at the gym. It seems like a cool literary way to go with this is to go full circle - and despite not realizing or wanting to do it, he ends up somewhat tyrannical once he ends up in the position of authority. It probably wouldn't be a happy ending, but from the antagonistic relationship he seems to have with everyone except Stetson (and Will), I'm not sure this is really a happy ending type story.
It's the act of growing that is what I like, not the actual bigness, so *shrugs*.
having the stuff passed out his system much more quickly than expected, he finds his impulses more under control, but at least two orgasms a day is still needed, if he doesn't want to find himself bursting out of his pants in public the next day. he's able to become erect and cum at will, as many times as he wants. the doctor is able to genetically identify him as Matt for real, and discovers that he always had a genetic abnormality, which would've caused his growth at any time if he had just eaten enough fats (or something like that- i forget).
Matt decides to become a professional bodybuilder, working out not so much to get bigger, but to get off of working his muscles. Saul becomes his agent. he's bigger than anybody else in the biz, and becomes an overnight success making good money. finally happy, he feels less need to be aggressive to his enemies, seeing as he doesn't have to prove his manhood to anybody. he and Stetson make mind-blowing love regularly, and Matt decides to move on into doing porn to show off his talents with his cock, which are also wildly successful. Matt also decides to experiment with making love to chicks, finding his scent works just as well on them and his cock fits just as easily, but still keeps coming back to Stetson, who he loves. Matt also agrees to participate in genetic testing in order to study his condition.
Stetson eventually get married, a freakishly proportioned couple if there ever was one.
That's actually exactly what I want to see- it'd tickle pretty much all my fancies and fetishes, truthfully. i like the lovey-dovey stuff too.
I also want him to escape Saul's clutches and come back to Stetson. I'm afraid of what's in store between the two, and I wish for Matt to gain control of himself and his situations with others, to find a balance between his new growth and how everyone else is reacting to it. That he and others can control their urges to a tolerable rate, find a way to pay for the new food intake, and settle with Stetson or at least find personal closure.
To at least find ways to accommodate for the long run. But I'm loving the growth every time, so I honestly don't know what'll happen with him. AAAAH!
