Changing streams....
General | Posted 11 years agoI just wanted to write real quick to thank everyone for their love and support. Recently, being trans, I have experimented with names. I believe that I have found my first name--Jordana. I've pretty much abandoned my first fursona, Fiona Doyle, due to some rumors about my family being drug up and making me hate her.
So, as soon as I am able, I will be making a new account and transferring everything there. Okay? Okay. Good.

To other writers (a call for help)
General | Posted 11 years agoI love transformation.
I especially love gender and species transformations. I'm transgender myself, though I haven't transitioned. The idea of becoming a female, even if it is furry, greatly appeals to me. I will never deny that no matter what. Can you blame me?
But I've noticed something about my own writing, which you can see in the Changing Stripes series. I am very good, in my not so humble opinion, at writing the post-transformation business. THat is to say, I can write the character adjusting. I can write how they feel afterward and how they adjust.
What I can not write is the actual transormation. I get started then freeze. Do I write from the head down, starting with hair? Do I start with the feet and work up? Do I work at the hips and then make it chaotic and go from wherever my mind leads me?
Or do I start with the mental change and go from there?
An example of how I started might show you why I freeze:
Where do I go from there is the problem. Do I mention hair getting into his eyes? Do I mention the pain of his chest becoming breasts? Or that his height had increased.
What I am asking for from my fellow writers is if they have any suggestions on how to write a good, engaging transformation scene? Where do you start? How do you plan it? Are you ever pleased with your final result?
I thank you for even reading this, and I hope that if you had these questions that they get answered too!

His glasses fell off as he was jolted backwards. That didn't matter anymore Jason noticed. He was able to see clearly for the first time without them. Even this night, with only the headlights of the cars providing some light, he found his eyesight to be perfect. He could see the thieves getting away but could do nothing as pain washed over him.
