TheEditor stories

[frice2000]

On saying that the expectations that some people have of these stories is borderline fucking ridiculous. Do people actually expect huge amounts of character development, original stories, plot twists etc. in these stories.

Have these people forgotten that these stories are written about transformation of some degree?

Yes, I expect character development, plot, and original stories and plot twists. If all you want is a transformation scene fine maybe they pass but I want more. I don't want to read a actually pretty long story only for their to be no development and just have a transformation scene. If the transformation scene was extremely vivid and wonderfully written I would forgive the other material to an extent and likely my review would've looked like, "Wonderful transformation scene but characterization really needed work." But in this I just didn't feel that was the case.

If this was posted by the actual writer looking for a review and on what they want to improve I would also have been more generous actually pointing out specific areas that needed improvement. If you look at my posting history regarding prolonged stories you'll see that I can be quite verbose. However, this was another poster going, 'oh look these are really good stories and the author won't post or read your comments', so my comment was more directed to Lost then the writer. These aren't particularly good stories. There are FAR better TF scenes and stories with actual characters rather then cardboard cut outs on this site. Ahmain's stories that are posted on this site come to mind as far and away better then this and those are mostly sex driven so that isn't my problem either as the transformation in those is excellent, and the characters while often a bit shallow are nonetheless likable or you feel a connection to them. These just are not that good and since I can't point out to the author where they aren't that good that's my response. Forgive me for wanting more then just sex and horribly shallow characters in what would translate to around 45 pages in book form. I guess my standards are just too high.
