That’s what I do.

And if you want to save a story do the same in reverse. Highlight the window, copy it, and paste it into a text editor or word processor, choose your name and save.

Well, you’re speaking for me too. You describe the world of a hidden desire and hidden fulfillment very well. Although to generalize more, this is also the nature of male sexual desire (I won’t speak for women here). We look at the female body. The clothes hide the body and reveal it. They draw our attention while keeping us out. We mentally undress the women we work with and the women we pass by. We (at least I) can’t help it. The muscularity is another layer. Is it there? What can we do to make it burst out? Can it happen in reality or just in our minds?

I wonder whether my own focus on transformation and power transfer is another side of the "reveal" as you call it.

I also wonder whether if our fetish were normal it would lose some of its excitement.

More where that came from.

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!

I think that what bothers me in the end is the whole emotional detachtment thing, where the "villainess/bitch/girlfriend" ends up getting powerful and not giving a shit about him anymore, even though sometimes the only reason she got powerful was because of him in the first place. I mean…it’s awfully exciting but leaves me very unsatisfied in the end.

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!
