What are your favorite type of Machine Story themes?
What are your Favorite Stories?
-
Garbage trucks, packaging machines, folding machines, washing machines.....
-
I enjoy the robot master stories and the automated sex machines malfunctioning and pushing the individuals well past their comfort zones.
-
My favorite machine stories involve the what-could-possibly-go-wrong scenario or accidental entrapment. Here are a few of my recommendations.
Pleasurematic 2000 by Gromet
Automated sex machine malfunctions and pushes individual well past their comfort zone.

Folded and Boxed by Melodie
The danger of wearing heels in the production area.

The Carrot and the Stick by Daffy Duck
A simple plan gets complicated by a special trash pick-up.

Riding the Clam by Jo
Always follow the technical manual.

The Factory by Tr_vellor
Duplicity meets Get Smart.

Only two of these excellent machine stories can be found in the machine section. I recommend visitors explore the entire Plaza, you never know what you’ll find.

I'm a sucker for machines that can wrap or encase things, especially things "this" high. In addition to the Machine series and Smart Duct Tape, there is:
APPI (http://www.grometsplaza.net/world/machine/storiesad/appi.html)- Girl stumbles upon a company's wrapper.
Tactile (http://www.grometsplaza.net/world/machine/storiessz/tactile.html)- Girl programs robot arms to do mummification. It goes beyond the call.
Catherine Gets Cleaned (http://www.grometsplaza.net/world/machine/storiesad/catherine_getscleaned.html)- When a waxing machine thinks a girl is furniture...
Outside of that fetish, machine stories I also enjoy are made by Julien Soriel and Melodie; these machines don't let large obstructions impede their production line, and they can easily work around the problem. The fact that these "obstructions" are bound tightly may factor a bit into my bias...

I love stories where people end up on the production line and get processed and packaged by factory machinery
anything with conveyors whisking people away, shunting them into chutes or getting sucked away by tubes. Really anything where the person is helpless as the machines treat them just like any other product on the line.
people getting wrapped up tight or stuck in trash/candy/latex is great too
and also I like the really cartoony stuff over realistic

For Polyedit2000, I recommend reading "Automated Trashbagging".
For Blarg, I recommend reading "Stuck in his job".
Both can be found in the Trashcan section.
I hope you both enjoy.

I like all kinds of machine stories, both the kind where the machine acts on it's own while someone gets in it's way, and the kind where a person with nefarious intentions uses a machine to carry out some plan. Any kind of automated livestock processing plant stories get my interest, as well as milking plant stories where some poor soul gets converted into a producing human cow.
I would add Beast5 stories to the others already mentioned, Milk one of my all time favorites machine stories, but there are a great many others as well.

Excellent stories Jackie. There are so many good machine stories on the Plaza it’s hard to mention just a few and do justice to the body of work that has been created here.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to revive this topic, if i may. My favorite theme involves washing machines, and although there are many great examples on this site, the following stories rank as the best in my opinion. I applaud the authors for their efforts.
Jane Gets Laundered, by Julien Sorel, a story of an automated laundry system run amok, the helpless heroine is haplessly washed, dried and folded.
http://www.grometsplaza.net/world/machine/storiesek/janegetslaundered.html (http://www.grometsplaza.net/world/machine/storiesek/janegetslaundered.html)
Gai Shift Hotel California, by Rohana, beautifully descriptive writing, four episodes from the comprehensive Gai Shift saga, lots of sudsy ladies dumped unceremoniously into a mechanical washing system you will never forget.
(It may helpful to read ahead about this wicked steam punk universe Rohana has created http://www.boundstories.net/storiesek/gai_shift.html (http://www.boundstories.net/storiesek/gai_shift.html) )

Hi Laurie,
Welcome to the forum, I’m happy to hear you’re a machine enthusiast. There’s a group of us here who are happy to talk machine stories. I think you picked two of the best, I would also add Washed by Mélodie to your list
http://www.grometsplaza.net/world/machine/storiessz/washed.html
Feel free to bring up any topic you would like to discuss, maybe you will have a fancy to write your own story, we would all like to read it.
