Hello again, everyone! I hope you all are doing well. I know it's been a while since I made a journal post here, and even more so since I uploaded something. Sorry about that as life has, once again, proven to be rocky ever since we moved to another country. It turns out that it's quite literally impossible to please my dad as he'll get upset with one thing before he gets upset with something else when you dealt with the problem. It's a never-ending cycle, and me and my mum have been facing that on a nearly every day basis.

Anyway, enough of that. I will be okay as I just wanted to share a fun fact about myself and how I write some stories. The story commission that I've been writing for the Horrortober Story YCH is about 50% of the way there! And my goodness it's a huge one at that as it's almost 20 thousand words long! Yes! TWENTY! THOUSAND! WORDS! I will get back to writing it today because I really, really want to finish it.

When I write some stories, I always go through the process of understanding which characters are going to be involved and what they're going to be transformed into. This will serve the start and end points, which then allows me to fill in the middle with some other things like where the story's going to take place, what will cause them to get transformed and why they're being transformed. This way, I can then mold the story into shape where everything has a purpose and reason behind it. I just like doing it this way as it makes everything clear and easy for me to understand while being able to develop a story behind the transformation trigger and process.

For me, stories are a love letter to some of my childhood memories, fun and memorable moments, and some iconic cliches and one-liners that originates from old video games and movies and experiences that I once had as a kid. The reason why I take so long (and often procrastinate) is because I want to write a proper story that just oozes with love, care and passion, not by cheaply fabricating it by uploading 20+ stories a day. Not to mention that I don't often get a lot of commissions, trades or requests. So, I treat all of them with a lot of passion and care as if it's my last time writing them. And with that being said, I just want to give them something great and memorable because it always makes me happy whenever I see them enjoy reading through the stories that I've written for them.

You might be thinking: "But Gamertron! A transformation story should be about the transformation process and trigger!" And yeah, I get that as we all have our own kinks and fetishes, which is totally fine as we all like what we like. But like I said before, I want to write each transformation story with some love and passion as the ideas are often based around my childhood memories and experiences, and what I grew up watching and playing. I'll name an example: One of my stories is called Jelly Bubble Bath, and that story is based around a commercial that I remember seeing on TV when I was little while the setting is also what I remembered and experienced. On the story, the Buizel dreamed of having a foamy bubble bath before seeing his disappointed plain bath that has little to no bubbles. He goes out to a shopping mall where he finds a product stand that has a little TV that's showcasing how the product works before buying it and heading off. Of course, that ended up in a disaster as he ended up getting trapped inside a slimy bubble bath. That story is based on:
- My experience of having a soapy and bubbly bubble bath that gradually became more plain as the soapy bubbles dissolve
- My memories of seeing some product stands that contained some fun animations and live-action of kids and people dressed up in costumes and using the product.
- My memory of watching a jelly bubble bath commercial on TV

As you can see, this story is in the form of a window of my childhood that I remembered and experienced as a kid. And I want to pass that feeling off to you or someone else that's getting a story from me. So, whether if you're getting a story from me or just here reading them, just know that each and every single one of them is fueled and based around my memories while it serves as a tribute to the iconic and memorable media of movies, TV shows, commercials or video games that I, or we, grew up with. Either way, I hope you can experience the same feeling that I experienced when I was young.
