Animal tfs
From: guest (Amo1) , 109 months, post #1
I have a question for the forum about whay people perfer in animal transformations. Do most people like anthro or full transformations. Personally i like full tfs because it is the furthest from the reality that we know and when we make fantasys about transformations why not go all the way. What do you guys think.

From: guest (joeberan) , 109 months, post #2
I'm a full TF guy myself. It feels more wild, exciting, and different to me, where as anthro is really just a deformed person. To each their own though.

As animal is not my primary TF type, I find myself interested in both full TF, anthro, hybrid, and even just traits (such as "enhanced" senses)... probably in that order too.

I prefer any kind of transformation, as long as it's a living thing transforms into another living being, and not an object transformation.

"... as long as it's a living thing transforms into another living being..."

Human to tree? Horse to carrot? Or are you looking for animate creature too?

From: O2MO , 109 months, post #6
Animate creature, forgot plants were under the category of living beings. :p

Sorry if I offended any plants out there XD

Full transformations are by far of greater interest to me.

I already know what it means to be human and have a fair idea of what it likely means to be the opposite gender. After all, we are designed to be able to read peoples emotions and raised in the rules of social interactions and we can see in our own relationships how the opposite sex perceives the world. If we put our minds to it we can actually KNOW what it means to be another person. This is called empathy and we all have this capacity even if we don't exercise it as often as we should.

Anthro on the other hand, while definitely being interesting, is pure fantasy so there is nothing to observe to get an idea of what that might be like. I can see this sort of transformation being attractive to those who wish to have no real world bounds to what such an experience would be like. This is sort of a "creative transformation" where you are free to be and behave any way you please while retaining a certain amount of humanity as a base. The transformation isn't completely alien. That in itself is a pretty attractive thing to a lot of people.

But a full transformation is something we can get a sense of what that might be like. Real world animals can be observed and interacted with for clues on how they see the world. I find such a full transformation quite tantalizing... the world as you know it would completely change. This is by far my favorite sort of transformation. I can remember as a child looking into the eye of a horse and literally KNOWING there was a mind at work behind it. But it was an alien mind, I couldn't possibly know how that creature was experiencing the world. It was pretty much from that time on that transformations were a favorite pastime for me. The very idea of becoming another creature, even if for just a short while, would be a world altering experience.

tl'dr: I prefer full transformations :)

I'd like any TF (even into mythical creatures, like centaurs, or centaurides!), but I'd like to retain my memories, my self. Don't think the brain of a goldfish could do that...

From: Lady Sekhmet , 109 months, post #9
>>I'd like to retain my memories, my self

Couldn't agree more. I've read quite a few transformation stories that involved the person forgetting who they where. To me this is pointless - you've essentially killed the original person and created a new one. If you genetically engineer an apple to be indistinguishable from an orange, then you no longer have an apple.

The fun part of any transformation is the change in perspective - that it's YOU seeing things from a new form.

From: guest (zap) , 109 months, post #10
Lady Sekhmet. do you have any particular stories you find to be favorites? it looks like our opinion on animal TFs match pretty well, but some TF stores can be pretty hit or miss

From: guest (SirgeTheStar) , 109 months, post #11
I loooooooooove animal TFs! I prefer both anthro and full equally, but in most situations I think edge towards full TFs more. I like the idea of turning into an animal of some sort, being fearful of the world around yet still possessing your human mind. It's a fun idea to toy around with! :) I've written a ton of animal TF and animal body-swap stories and I feel I've only scratched the surface of the amount of species that I could use. I seriously need to do a walrus, seal, hippo, emu, alligator, or baboon TF. :)

From: guest (dogman) , 108 months, post #12
Full animal TF's for sure! BTW, SirgeTheStar... Love your stories; especially Mind-Trade. I'd love a sequel.

From: guest (Amo1) , 108 months, post #13
What are some good stories with animal tfs out there. I have found a few and i go to cyoc sometimes as well. I would also like to get into both writing new stories and making animations some including gender.

From: guest (SirgeTheStar) , 108 months, post #14
@Dogman

Thanks! I'm glad you like Mind-Trade. I'm notorious for being slow or completely forgetting to make sequels, but I guess I could give another Mind-Trade a shot.

From: guest (dogman) , 108 months, post #15
@SirgeTheStar
Awesome... I look forward to it! :)

From: Lady Sekhmet , 108 months, post #16
It's stuff like this that makes me wonder if anyone would care at all if anthro's walked among us. So funny how folks just look and keep on going like "oh, just another half man half donkey on the sidewalk".

From: guest (Ash) , 108 months, post #17
What was the story I think it was on Fiction mania where a collage student was messing around with mind swapping and swapped women with squirrels? I remember there was one part where he swaps a woman with a dog and its describe how the dog's mind in the woman's body didn't react when he touched the woman's body?

From: guest (veteran21) , 108 months, post #18
The above story sounds pretty good! Hopefully somewhere knows where to find it.

From: guest , 108 months, post #19
Yeah. If anyone has heard of that squirrel story that would be cool
