I'm getting close to finshing the first few parts from my latest story, but I'm not close to finishing the whole.

How do you folks feel about stories posted in instalments?  It could be a long wait for the rest, because I haven't even started writing past part 5 and I'm going on a two week vacation after the 14th.

I have a special directory of role reversal stories and never tire of writing them.  I can read sequences like the folloiwng again and again and never lose the ... enthusiasm.

"Hey, what happened to my muscles?"

"Your muscles?  Awww, honey, you're always losing things.  Let me help.  Why, HERE they are, dear.," she says happily, pointing proudly to her burgeoning biceps. "Looks like theyre' MINE now!"

Or.

"What is it, Superman?"

"I don't know.  I ... suddenly feel so ... weak."

"Funny, I was just going to say ... I've never felt better!" she replies, beginning to float into the air.

And of course the strories I've done with Nomdreserv:  Tennis, Give and Take and Matt 'n Emma.

Keep 'em coming.

I know why I like that scene.  It points out one of the differences between the way (at least the way I perceive the way) women view muscles and men. Can you imagine a man being embarrassed about having muscles too large?  Yet women do try to hide their muscles when they have them, or joke about them.  A scene like this brings home the fact that these are female muscles and reinforces what makes the scene arousing for a FMG lover.  It's not just a character with a woman's name.  It's a real girl!

If you had the power, usable only once, and not reversible, to make the closest woman to you (wife/girlfriend/mistress/sister) twice as muscular and strong as you are ... would you use it?

And if you used it, how would things change?

I understand that, although I don't have the same reaction.  Where she is a villainess/bitch, there's no reason for her to be grateful.  Former girlfriends often end up at villainess/bitches, so that's the same.  I think the girlfriends in my stories often are sympathetic or grateful, but , hey, what can they do?  Transfering superpowers around is much easier for the writer than for a character.

I suppose the reason many readers feel unsatisfied or uneasy with my unhappy endings is that they are identifying/empathizing with the male character and don't like the feeling of loss of power.  I can't fault you for that.

Here's a question.  Do you think Jilly Milly had a happy ending or an unhappy ending?

UnDunn I think was getting at it from the male perspective.  She may be cruel,  but he's so turned on by her and by the battle that he doesn't notice.  There is something erotic about "fighting a girl", isn't there, and of course in these stories it's not abuse, it's sexual and a desperate fight to survive her superior strength.  Maybe that makes it all right.

I would file that under the "eroticism of the battle."

As for attitude adjustment, I agree with Cowprobe that the situation has to be something recognizable. That's why I write my fantasies as realistically as I can (if that makes any sense)  Isn't it just like us men to ignore the woman changing before our eyes because we're focused on something else, usually how turned on she makes us, but sometimes just our daily life.  And yes, the dream sequence in "What I Want" is one of my favorite "loss of control" scenes from my stories.  It's a loss of control on 3 levels.  One, Rebecca is controlling his dream.  Two, suddenly in the dream he's become helpless against all the women of the world.  And three, she's arranged things so because of the dream he'll transfer to her his special power; she gains his power to control his growth and hers.  I loved writing that one!

Isn't this great?!  I'm so excited about this site.  Let's make it really busy!  

Being a writer who gluttonously absorbs all the comments and thoughts of his readers, using the ideas he likes and filing away the others, I am curious to know about your favorite parts of FMG stories, whether mine or anyone else's.  I have a few in mind but today it's loss of control.  

Whether it's magic, mad science or the otherwise unexplained moment when the formerly secure male looks at the dainty feminine thing beside him and realizes that she can or will shortly be able to break his bones without breaking a sweat, it's that shift in understanding never fails to thrill me.  In these scenes, it's the thought of her power, rather than the physical embodiment of muscle (which is of course, soon to follow), that thrills.

The scientist who has captured the power of the Hulk and has brought his hated ex-wife to witness his acquisition of ultimate power, only find that he's aimed the gizmo at her rather than himself.

The high school boy secure in his power to change the bodies of others, finding that some little vixen has seduced him into giving her more power than he's ever dreamed possible.  

Or the superhero, master of every encounter, realizing that his precious powers are inexplicably being transferred to a girl who is evil, or merely undeserving, but who, regardless, will never give them back.

Or perhaps what Popeye thought was spinach is merely kale.  And she's got the magic can in her hand, too far from his grasp, and oh so close to her waiting mouth.  

There's nothing he can do to stop her now.

Is this a turn on, or not?  And if so, what are your favs?
