Process: Realism vs. Imaginary

[Crash Ichimonji]

Yeah, Law of Conservation of Mass/Matter/Energy always puts a wrench into things. That's why slow process (like a span of weeks or months or even years) of building up biomass is more plausible than suddenly shooting to 100ft tall or going from being a petite 20-something girl and suddenly turning into a T-Rex...but it's not as fappable to some who like it more 'sudden' by comparison. I personally like diary-format stuff where each day a new but minor change occurs. More realistic, but some could argue it's too drawn-out.

I'm just wondering if making people TF in my story within hours from a highly radioactive alien substance is more to their liking instead of a slower process derived from something like nano-machines, protein baths, gene-therapy, etc. Each of the two basic formats would determine the overall plot.
