TF; Nerdy analysis
Wrote out a quick TF Story structure analysis for reference when planning out / pacing random ideas:
- **Trigger**: The moment the transformation for the character begins. Can be as opaque to the character/audience or as transparent as the story calls for
- **TF**:
- **First changes**: Usually small changes that the character most likely does not notice at first. Might have to be pointed out by onlookers. If the subject is an experienced shapeshifter, they're keenly aware of these changes, and can usually anticipate them.
- **10-75%**: The bulk of the TF is in this part. If the subject hasn't already become aware of their changes, now is when that usually happens. Usually has the subject coping with the changes, aware or not. Can also have the subject looking for some sort of 'cure'.
- **Last Push**: The final set of changes. In erotica, this usually culminates in sexual release as well. The subject also accepts the changes inevitability, at least on an intellectual level, if not an emotional level.
- **Aftermath**: The final scene(s) of a TF Vignette, with the subject either already finding a comfortable routine around their new circumstances, or exploring that space. Can also involve post-tf sexual encounters
