General Discussion / Re: Switch stories

Last post by twistedsmile - Today at 07:54:45 PM

Thanks for the responses! I appreciate the insight.

To give some more colour from my perspective as writer:

I wrote the chapter where Sophie and Mark switch because it was a story I wanted to write. And at that point, I didn't even consider that readers might not be into it.

The threesome chapter that Caras Pet called out - I knew that it was going to be controversial. And unlike the switch chapter, it wasn't one I 'enjoyed' writing. But doing it felt necessary for the larger narrative (for reasons I will explain when I do the commentary). My hope was that anyone who had stuck with the series up to chapter 13 would be invested enough to go along with it (or at least tolerate it). But I can't begrudge anyone that was completely put off by it.

When I wrote my second series, Brett & Darren, I was well aware that probably most fans of Sophie & Mark wouldn't be interested in an M/m series. I did wonder if there might be people who liked my writing enough to give it a try anyway (but that's just ego).

As for why I asked this question, and without spoiling anything, the non- Sophie & Mark story I'm currently writing is working towards a particular climax, and for that to make sense (to me at least) the characters had to switch. But I had this sudden thought of - if M/f fans don't read F/m (and vice versa) then is anyone actually going to stick around for that climax?

To be clear, the story is what it is, and I don't plan on changing it. Even if that does mean that no-one reads it

Damn. the envy, pushing Vicky almost to the end.That jealousy. The 3rd part was great. A solid long read.

Good to read more from the Sally's side at the end. Would love to read more from her perspective. And sometimes those alternate endings are fun too. Like  in "Garbage collection delay" story."

But I'm curious how other readers approach such stories?

As a writer, in How Ethan met Claire, the general setup is M/f. In the to-be-published vignette Claire turns the Tables, it switches to F/m. I tried to write this in a way to make it appealing to people normally read M/f, and hope I succeeded.

"Ethan and Claire" are my goto consensual fun bondage OCs, and the bondage is usually playful, so I hope that worked out even for M/f reader preferences.

The Hobbit is about to hit its official release, and the timing has MTG communities buzzing with fresh deck ideas, card evaluations, and plenty of speculation about what will actually see play. For anyone brewing around the new set, mtg proxy testing can help separate exciting theorycrafting from cards that genuinely perform at the table. Printingproxies fits naturally into that conversation as players experiment before committing to expensive singles. If you are following the release hype and want to test a few builds with your group, this is a timely thread to check out before the new meta starts settling.

Sorcery has been getting noticeably louder in the US community lately, especially after Gen Con brought a strong turnout and plenty of tournament energy.

Gen Con pushed Riftbound back into the spotlight, and the August State of the Game has players watching competitive changes even more closely. With Vendetta now released and 2027 sets already creating hype, there is plenty for deck builders to experiment with. Printingproxies can give Riftbound players a useful way to test different lists, tech choices, and matchup plans before spending heavily on cards. If your local group is brewing around the latest reveals, this is worth checking out now, especially while everyone is still figuring out which ideas could actually survive the evolving competitive scene at upcoming local tournaments.

I am also a switch (hence the name).  Most of my stories reflect my slight preference for M/f with no switching, but my longest work, Leather or Knot, is constantly changing from M/f to F/m and other variations.  When I wrote it, I never really thought about it, and nobody ever complained... but I have no way to know who declined to read it because they didn't like the story codes.
