So, question to tag along to the last one, what if it’s inflation that isn’t controlled by the person being inflated. Something tied into your line of Living Latex stories, where someone gets inflated into a sort of power lifter body with that massive ball gut after a run in with a catsuit, more interesting to you, or about the same?

Well, I’m not quite sure that’s a good question, but let me try to explain why.

My point in my last point wasn’t really one about interest. It isn’t that I’m interested or not personally in inflation. Granted, if I was more personally interested in it, I’d write it more, but like I said, I write about plenty of fetishes/MacGuffins that don’t interest me. My point regarding inflation was more about efficency, or, “am I using the right MacGuffin for the story I want to tell, such that it can be told in the simplest and clearest manner possible, without overly complicating things?”

Efficiency is a hard thing to do well. There’s one story in particular I’ve seen popping up on sites, called “The Hide.” Now, it isn’t really a bad story–and the TF is interesting, involving people being turned into tattoos. But the MacGuffin the author uses is so dang complicated, I hated reading the story.

Here is the process by which someone turns into a tattoo in “The Hide”:

1. The person is placed in a large bag.

2. The bag is filled up with liquid which is acquired from the body of another person who now lives in a large tank. The liquid is breathable, and they are completely submerged.

3. The person who will have the tattoo on their body ejaculates into the bag where the person who will be the tattoo is submerged.

4. The introduction of the cum into the liquid causes a chemical reaction which makes the person’s body dissolve in the bag, and they dissolve through cumming their entire body out of their cock, essentially.

5. Now liquid, the person is used as ink and is then tattooed onto the cummer’s body, whereby they finally become a tattoo.

Complicated, right? As a writer, I look at that list and it exhausts me–I can think of many simpler MacGuffins which would have rendered a similar result, or at least a more streamlined process than this one, which is overly complex. It isn’t the best writing, and it kind of ruins what I think could have been a great piece, because the author has to redescribe this process for every single transformation in the series. Such a waste of words, at the end of the day.

Inflation, to me, is inefficient, in the same way this tattoo MacGuffin is inefficient. I can, usually, get the same result in less steps without losing the eroticism. However–like I said–if the reader or the author wants something that only inflation can provide than great! Inflation is the way to go by all means. However, these instances are rare in my fiction, my interest in inflation itself is relatively low, and so those two together create a lack of inflation play in my writing.
