Process Story Tropes

Then you're on the right track. Process literature (brawna.org, Overflowing Bra, etc) must also have its own "tropes". Patterns that reappear in stories.

So. What are the patterns you see a lot in certain process stories? Postem up and lets make a list! (I'll use PC as an abbreviation for "Process Character", akin to how "MC" is "Main character").

FMG:
-To become the most overpowered: PC goes through hoops and obstacles an progressively becomes more and more powerful/capable/skillful until absurd levels.

BE:
-Because I wanted Boobs: PC causes thier own boob growth by the use of the stories BE MacGuffin because they want to enhance thier own beauty/sex appeal.

SW:
-Freelance Prison: Guy keeps all the little women to himself.

Not sure what to call this, but definitely add something for 'Character being completely oblivious to what is happening until the very end'

Initial denial can be intensify the effect of a process change! OHYEAH!

General Processes: Be careful what you wish for, you'll get it granted in a VERY literal way.

MtF TG: The more masculine and/or misogynistic a man is, the hotter and more easily dominated he becomes when he's turned to a girl.

DTG: Giving a girl a cock of her own will make her just as much of a horny player as a man can be.

A frequent story plot: Exploring the multiple implications of the BE McGuffin.

[qzar9999]

This Fit Me Yesterday: The character hasn't noticed their changes, or is still in denial, but is at a loss to explain why their favorite outfit / the size they've worn for a decade doesn't fit anymore.

With Great Change Comes Great Nymphomania: The tendency of mid- or post-process characters to be irresistibly driven to use their changes to improve their sex life and/or to become a much more sexually active person than they used to be.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week!

Loose Sleeve of Doom: Frequently, one of the earliest signs of shrinking will be a too-long sleeve on a shirt. Once it makes an appearance, the wearer is in for a long ride down...

Machine-Gun Buttons: This happens when a body (or body part) gets bigger than the button-up clothes containing it. The pressure tries to separate the garment, resulting in the row of buttons popping off in rapid-fire.

Sexually-Transmitted Transformation: Exactly What it Says on the Tin. A character has Sexy Fun Time with the PC, whether or not they're aware of the changes taking place...only to discover that it's contagious and now they're changing too. Can be especially fun/insidious when it overlaps with With Great Change Comes Great Nymphomania, as the transformation basically becomes a self-propagating epidemic.
