Asking for Tips and Tricks I Haven't Learned While Writing
8 years ago
General
Yes, I know I just wrote a journal today, but while attempting to write my new character (you know, the one that's gonna be strange) I was hit with all the restrictions Transformania Time! has. Not with its code, but with its storytelling.
In TT, there are two viewpoints: second person and third person limited, or "Human player" and "Computer player". Both points of view have their strengths and weaknesses. The human player can delve deeper into the character's mind, not only giving more detail to mental changes, but often changing the voice as well, see Janice Mercer and her Southern accent. Computer players are visible to the narrator (the other contestant) and therefore can show more physical changes, while being able to have more dialogue, see Stella Sutherford III. Computer characters can't have the detail of mental changes, and human characters can't have the detail of physical changes.
But you know what doesn't have these restrictions? Pretty much every other form of literature.
That said, I'm not sure I want to dip my feet into writing plain prose, for two reasons. One, it will require a lot more detail on the environment. What drew me to TT is how blunt the changes are. You might get a paragraph at the beginning describing the character, but then you're right smack dab in the teef, the part you're looking for. Other stories won't be able to do that. I'll need to create more characters, more settings, actual conflict. And suddenly the teefs are hidden away.
The other reason is a bit selfish, but I'm not sure if I want to spend that much effort in writing these transformative fictions. I write other, non-lewd things in my spare time, and publish them on several blogs. As much as I love writing these characters, I'll always put more effort into writing SFW stuff. If I write TF prose, that will have to change, and I'm not sure I like that.
As always, I leave this journal with a question. Should I start writing TF prose other than TT characters? Know that if I do, I won't stop writing characters. You'll just get more stories. But should I do it?

I'm always up for stories. I read as much as I like to see stuff. So if you want to write prose as well, i'm ready to give it a try :p
