A New Life .. in the Rear View Mirror

Does the fact that the transformation seems random make it more or less terrifying?

That question is something I was pondering right before I wrote up this blog posting. I can remember back when I started at Rachel's Haven almost 20 years ago (?!?) many people seemed to like non-consensual transformations, as opposed to stories where they welcomed it. I guess it is more acceptable if you had to go along with it, or maybe if it was a punishment .. then it wasn't as bad?

Since I was making trade captions, I tended to go along with whatever preferences the recipient wanted. And there was an allure to writing captions that were controlling another person, and contained twists that hopefully many people didn't see coming. I mean, everyone loves villains, if they are crafted properly.

And in their preferences, usually there was a spot where you could list those who were facilitating the transformation into a woman .. and it was wives and girlfriends, mothers and aunties, bosses or secretaries, teachers or students, etc .. that were usually at the top of the list. There was a familiarity to 90 percent of the "adversaries" that the recipient of the caption was giving, and many times they even included a name for you to use. That narrows it down even more as to the known agent of change.

Plus there are scenarios listed for the reasons why they were transformed. I mean, I listed those too .. but for me, I was trying to help trading partners by giving some ideas to help them craft something I'd like.

However, there were a few people that wanted it random. Didn't even necessarily need to know the whole WHY or WHO did it, but the actual story, and what happened during and after it. 

Those were the ones that got me, because If you woke up one day and you had tits on your chest, with larger more sensitive nipples .. You'd definitely try to figure out what happened. Did you go on a cruise where you ate a whole bunch of chickens that had been given hormones to get plumper and fatter quickly? Is there something wrong with your hormone levels where they are dropping precipitously? 

It's human nature to what to know whatever you can about your surroundings. But if you don't know why, it's scarier, to me at least. I can't imagine shrugging your shoulders and saying, "It must be God's will" if you've just grown a pair of 36 DD's on your formerly manly chest. 

Anyway, what says you the reader about random changes, versus punishment style transforms, CNC (consensual / non-consensual) and freely accepted preferences in gender / power / lifestyle switches? I think it'd make an interesting discussion for others to comment upon down below.
