Guess I'll jump on this bandwagon. You may have noticed that some of the questions also have yellow highlights; those indicate my answers specifically in the context of fetish content in cases where that answer would be different from my general tf tastes. I'm a 'try anything once' kind of person so a lot of these tend toward the middle haha

Awareness
Oblivious can be funny, but I think I generally prefer the person be aware. I take the high end of the aware side to mean more awareness of what exactly is happening, which can be fun. I like sensory overload in tfs; it makes sense given how much the body is going through and the fact that the end form may experience senses differently from a human.

Bodily Control
Assuming this would be how easily the person takes to their new form. Either extreme or any in between is fine. Ineptitude can flesh out the learning curve and sometimes frustration of the change, potentially leading to the triumph of finally figuring out one's new form. On the other end, taking to it like a fish in water (maybe even literally), finally becoming what you were meant to be, is very uplifting and freeing. It's not entirely unrealistic either, since a different brain comes with different instincts. It can also be fun to explore the in between, figuring out what's learned vs. instinctive.

Explicitness
This was a tough one to answer because I wouldn't say these two are really opposed? I think horny fluff is underrated lol. So I just went with everything but the very extremes, since too much fluff can be sacharine and overly heavy sexuality can, ironically, be a turn off.

Identity
I'm fine with personality changes and some loss of higher brain function but not usually complete identity overwrites. At that point I feel like it sort of defeats the purpose of tf? The only context in which I can imagine liking identity death is if it's played for psychological horror, i.e. slowly losing your memories and sense of self, acting in ways you know you wouldn't normally, and being powerless to stop it. So I guess I'll tolerate it specifically if it overlaps with the upper end of awareness mentioned earlier, but I don't really see that much.

Duration
I don't like 'poof' tfs at all, but I don't have much preference in duration as long as there's an actual process. A few minutes? A few years? Sure, why not.

Publicity
I generally prefer more private, I guess? Like, either alone or with only a few people to witness. Transformation as intimacy is very good. But it's not that important, public tfs are fine too. Although I'm not super into like. Mass tfs.

Sensation
I'm a bit of a masochist so uh. Why not both! lol. Too much of the 'AH OOF OW MY BONES' can get aggravating and no discomfort whatsoever can be a bit unrealistic but I enjoy a wide variety of experiences with this. Not included here, but tfs also just being neutral can be fun. Not necessarily no sensation, you can still feel it, but it's more like a natural bodily process like breathing.

Permanence
Not much to say here, honestly. I'll take whatever.

Initiation
I prefer random, unpredictable tfs. Just like most big shakeups in life.

Form
I'm cool with anthros and other vaguely humanoid forms but I'm not a big fan of human tfs (stuff like archetype tfs and turning into different people). I want to be a creechur damnit!

Animacy
I don't like object tfs tbh. I'm mainly into tf for therian reasons, and I don't happen to find them hot either. But I'll take some less organic forms like ghosts and machines. Roboticization specifically can be really fun.

Role
TF ME BAYBEE! I'll pretty much only be the tf'er as a dom/sub kind of thing.

Consent
I assume Unwilling is more like accidental or spontaneous while Forced would be someone else doing it? And obviously willing is for wanted transformations. For general tfs; yeah sure. All extremes and combinations have their own interesting points. In a sexual context specifically, maybe I'm a bad person lmao but willingness can kind of kill it for me. Even if the transformation is enjoyed, I like the idea of an integral part of yourself being ripped out and showed to you whether you're ready to see it or not. Sort of similar to why some trans people like force fem/masc, I guess.

Reaction
A moderate amount of horror and/or embarassment is understandable, and I think both can be interesting to explore in combination with joy. And obviously the joy and freedom of exploring new territory and coming closer to your true self is very appealing. As for kinky tfs I. uh. hm. I uh... REALLY like discomfort. Whether in a 'I hate this' kind of way or a 'I like this and don't want to admit it' kind of way. I probably colored in the horror part too much, since the embarassment part is what I mainly respond to, but a bit of fear can be hot. Honestly, reactions might be as big a part of erotic tf for me as the actual physical part.

Cause
Again, I don't have much to say because I just like everything! Technological I guess would be things like DNA modification or nanomachines, biological would be viral or mutation based, and supernatural is like werewolves and stuff. I see no difference; tf is tf.

Priority
Story, mostly, with art close behind. Honestly I don't mind some sensual elements even in works I don't personally find erotic. Adds some flavor, I guess. As for fetish stuff, as mentioned above I don't actually like stuff that's too heavily sexual. I prefer my porn with a plot, and good art doesn't hurt either. So it's pretty even for me.
