Poll : What Comes Next? (Repost)
Added 2025-04-18 20:15:07 +0000 UTCEDIT: I forgot to make the poll mult choice
As I check the schedule, I see that our Character Creator will be ending at the same time as Open Trade. So we need some new stories to explore!
I would love your feedback. Check out the poll, vote for as many as you like.
There are some descriptions and details below.
Just a warning, I hope that the following are not real titles for the comics, I just need something to make the idea quick and identifiable.
PTA Mom
A dad feels uncomfortable at the PTA meeting because he finds the dads in his community just are not involved. The PTA President decides to help with a spell to make him one of the moms.
I posted one of these on the Explorer tier and was originally just going to post these there.
This one is currently Fully Scripted
Boss to Secretary
Owner of a company was changed into a woman. In an attempt to run his company without too many people finding out he poses as his own secretary. Things conspire to keep him female longer than intended.
Originally I intended this as a follow up to the PTA story, but it can be it's own story.
Magical Tech Support
A Forest story. Forest has to do some community service working for Magical Tech Support fixing spells gone wrong. Kind of an excuse to play with a variety of Transformations.
Dress to Thrill pt 2
I had another story to share about our Costume Shop Employee. It's not as long as the previous.
Hero Mantle
Not a TG/TF story. I was thinking of the passing down of a well established male centric mantle like James Bond or Batman to a woman, but not changing anything about the name or costume. He kind of dealing with people wondering who she is.
Open Trade History & Laws
I've thought a few times about making some comics to explain a bit of the history of the world and rule and regulations on the use of the technology.
Shifter
I wrote an indie comic a long while ago about a shapeshifter whose powers both go beyond and are more limited by the typical shapeshifter. It's not available anywhere, and I think there are a lot of things I could do better now than I could do then.
I was watching X-Men Evolution and I noticed everyone can share their powers by touch. Kitty can phase people. Kurt can teleport people.
What if Mystique could change other people by touching them? What if other people could change her?
Rock Band/Battle of the Bands
With the help of some magic, a guy fills in for a missing member of an all-girl rock band so they can win a battle of the bands.
I originally pitched this to be the previous comic. But Character Creator was more in my brain at that moment. Even did test art and character designs for it.
The Temp
Temp service where you temp as the actual person, so they don't lose their job or PTO.
WHAT IS NOT AN OPTION
Open Trade will return.
I was going to put it in the poll, but as soon as I typed a subtitle or description it was a spoiler. So I think we'll take a month or two off. But as of writing I have like 6 or 7 story ideas and like half way through the first script.
A Fern in the Forest is still going, but I'll keep it in it's current state.
There have been other ones I've mentioned in the past, like a Wedding Themed one and Robotics/Cyborg one. I haven't really figure out the story for those.
Comments
Yeah, I need to do some proper romance. :)

2025-04-19 02:17:18 +0000 UTCI'm definitely interested in seeing more of Forest/Fern. She was going to continue to matter what. Open Trade may have gotten a little long in the tooth. My goal is to keep things a little shorter and tighter so we can get more character and impact. As I'm learning the characters in new stories I think there are some fun people for you all to meet. And with the new Open Trade shorts, it is recentering the characters to get to know them more. As the poll runs and I brainstorm I'm figuring out who these people are and why they are unique and we are learning their stories.

2025-04-19 02:12:32 +0000 UTCWell I did have ideas for one shots, I don't know if you recall those eharmony commercials in the 2000s(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg0wD8gNtgQ) but something like that with a TGTF twist with various couples that embody different romance tropes from Friends to Lovers, Enemies to Lovers, Fake Dating, and various others along with different genders and sexualities. Another one I thought was more with an elderly protagonist where they undergo a magical transformation while working as one of the nurses in a nursing home. Another one shot or miniseries was more workplace romance but involves either teachers or lawyers but it involves a long lost love letter that either some students or colleagues find and the grump comes out as trans while the sunshine reciprocates those feelings which are also mutual. This one shot's also workplace but it involves a boss asking their personal assistant to enter a fake marriage similar to the film, The Proposal but the boss is the one that undergoes a transformation but the personal assistant is bi and crushes hard for both forms. Another one shot was finally a paranormal story but it involves a tgtf character that's a tough guy/werewolf but becomes an alpha woman with the help of a "beta male" who's her sorcerer friend that the werewolf takes as her "fated mate" to declare herself leader of her pack. Last one shot involves The Prisoner's Dilemma, but one prisoner is transformed into a defense attorney to protect the other prisoner.

2025-04-19 01:53:12 +0000 UTCI am far more interested in Forest's/Fern's story than I am anything else. I was more invested in seeing that world and character more than Open Trade.
