It's been a while since I posted anything here, mainly because I haven't been inspired to write fetish stories. I have like four of them that I've started, so if I got productive I could probably finish up at least one pretty quickly. We'll see.

Anyway, I've been thinking about the fetish fiction I've been reading. It seems to me that fetish stories naturally tend to exist in a world where the particular fetish at hand always represents a "moral" positive, a proper outcome for things in some way. In a TF story, the transformation is always the right thing to happen to the victim. Where people who aren't into the fetish would clearly see, say, reducing a living, breathing woman into an inflatable sex toy, as an immoral act, the typical doll TF story paints it as... inevitable. Not necessarily justified per se, but appropriate.

This is partly because these stories tend take place in a bubble of sorts. They're written basically as a masturbation aid, so the real goal is to titillate and eventually reach a climax, whatever that might be for the particular fetish. (A sexual climax, a completed transformation, etc.) Once that's done, the story just ends, and it's time to move on to another story. I don't consider this a bad thing per se--I've enjoyed more such stories than I care to admit--but it does leave tremendous untapped potential for exploring things more deeply. That's where my interest is as a writer.

With doll TF stories, a character becoming a doll is usually the end of the story. More often than not the transformation is permanent, and whoever caused it, whatever their motivation, they get off scott free for some reason or other. I want to explore what might make someone want to become a doll of their own volition, and what might happen to them afterward. And, once in a while, I'd like to see someone face consequences for dolling another human being.

Lots to think about.
