Anonymous asked: About that "recurring TF and bimboization" project you've been contemplating and which has been held up by the question of how to coherently reset everything...have you considered using that Fairy from Bimbo Reader? If she has the power to magically bimboize, she probably has the power to start over if what she did didn't satisfy her or whatever?

Yeah, that could definitely work, a trickster god protagonist. There are tons of similar examples in TF: the Spells R Us wizard, BSB’s Scarred Man, Morpheus’ Miss Chiff etc. I’d have to come up with some overarching plotline and motivation for them besides “causing chaos”, though. Otherwise, they’re just plot devices –sentient versions of Master PC. Loosely connected short stories are fun, but they’re not what I have in mind when I think “ongoing narrative”.

At the same time, though, these characters require a certain degree of mystique. Reveal too much and they become humanized. At that point, we start delving into the ethics and morality of their actions and all sorts of interesting but not particularly sexy aspects of TF.

Realistically, I think the closest I’ll get to a recurring TF project within the next few years is simply a comic with multiple chapters. I still have a lot to learn about making comics and smaller, more manageable stories are a better way for me to ramp up without being overwhelmed.

The biggest benefit is having conflict be between not your characters and some villain but rather between them and a force of nature.
