Make a TF Foundation

[Mitera Nikkou]

Okay, here's the deal: we all have needs. The problem is that we can't fulfill them on demand, and we get frustrated with finding what we need at random. Then, too, there's the quality of the transformation that is lacking, usually because of the nature of the environment. And if it isn't that, then others aren't cooperating with you so you can enjoy your transformation, because they're there for themselves, too.

So, while you may not get what you want most of the time, you should be able to get what you want some of the time. The Make a TF Foundation is here to do just that. You post what you want, in this topic, and someone will sponsor it. The sponsor creates a topic for the sole purpose of making your transformation (and the circumstances surrounding it) a reality, and gets others to join in and help with the experience, if needed. Or, it could work the other way around, where you want to transform others and the sponsor helps to get volunteers who are willing to give you the experience that you're looking for. For such topics, no one should enter it unless they intend to help out.

If you desire to sponsor someone's TF, be sure to get in touch with them, so they can anticipate it. After all, it'd be a shame to start a topic for them and they aren't around to enjoy it. Also, only sponsor someone's TF when you are willing and able to do it to the best of your ability, because it's meant to be a special treat rather than a quick fix. Be sure to mention, in the topic, that it's sponsored by the Make a TF Foundation, and to what capacity someone could help if they are interested. Once your TF is fulfilled, be sure to edit your post in some way that indicates to potential sponsors, in the future, that your TF has already been fulfilled.

That should just about do it. Don't be too shy or ashamed to make a request.

Hmm... well, it does seem like an interesting idea. It'll help when someone has a TF idea they'd like to try out and would like volunteers, or vice versa.

It might also be something that'd allow an easier time to RP the TF through a thread... possibly.

Two things I'm worried about:

1. The Muffin Room becoming clogged with threads. More so that is.

2. People abusing it to get their TFix.

1. The Muffin Room becoming clogged with threads. More so that is.

It's unlikely to happen. The amount of effort required of the sponsor, and (if required) in finding people in the mood to help, would discourage the proliferation of such topics. Though I wouldn't mind if that were the case, since that'd mean that people are getting to enjoy what they want while at the same time displaying the good side of what people in a community can do for each other. Besides, who cares if a pruning comes sooner than later? You get a warning and have a chance to bump or save any topics of interest beforehand. In the end, it's supposed to be a special treat, and should be treated as such.

2. People abusing it to get their TFix.

This isn't likely to happen, either, since they're at the mercy of whoever's in the mood and/or has the time to commit to their TF. And it's a simple matter to check and see if anyone else should get a TF, if they've already had one or more than someone else. Basically, no one can demand a TF; it's all volunteer work.

To address these potentialities, I've added a new sentence to the opening post, which I've underlined.

[Blaze]

Both fair counter-arguments.

Maybe we could trial it for a while.

[Mitera Nikkou]

There is no "maybe." Besides, even if it doesn't work out, I know that at least I'll still be around to do this sort of thing. But then you poor people would be stuck with such a low-grade transformer. What a shame!

[Blaze]

Nikkou, you know my opinion of your TFs.

I'm sure we'll make do he that happens.

[Mitera Nikkou]

I knew your opinion well, all night long. It gave me brain crabs! >:O

Anyway, you know my opinion about my opinion, regardless of your opinion about my opinion concerning either my opinion by itself or my opinion about my opinion. You're welcome to have your opinion about my opinion, but, in my opinion, no opinion can live up to... my belief!

Oh, lordy, I better stop before I throw a slew of "belief" out there.

So, um, yeah. Someone make a TF! That's what this is all about, honestly!

Okay, I'm going to bite Nikkou's shameless advertisement and try the foundation myself. The first one is always the hardest, So here goes.

The scenario would be during a graduation ceremony. One of the graduate gets turned into a young ballerina, no older than ten. Everybody around is aware of the transformation, and everybody except the unfortunate graduate find it hilarious. His friends try to be supportive but can't help bursting out in laughing and mocking gently. Also, some girls tell the new little girl that she is very cute to tease her.

Now for the justification, scenario wise, it could be anything: a magical tradition that affect the valedictorian, or the worst graduating student. A scientific experiment used by an angry girlfirend or a scientific rival. A way for the teachers to punish a cheater. Or the result of alien tethering who needed to collect "embarrassment energy" to power-up their spaceship's engine. If some character is involved to initiate the change, I would like that character to be female.

[Albedo]

Starting to think I'll take big time advantage of this....

[the unbalanced one]

I must say that I approve greatly of this idea. Though to be honest I will have trouble thinking of the right kind of scenario I'd want and I'll do my best not to abuse this. And while I'm not likely to be able to handle a request all on my own I would be happy to assist others if possible or desired..so I'd be more of a volunteer extra lol.

[shinryou]

Wow, this wasn't here during my last visit, seems like a great idea. Also Nikkou, don't put yourself down, your TFs are probably among my favorites XD

[muffinstud]

I wholly approve of this.

[Shy Shay]

Hey, Rodney, I'll be able to do yours for you! If you are still interested, that is.

[Rodney]

Hey, Rodney, I'll be able to do yours for you! If you are still interested, that is.

Thank you for your very kind offer; I still am interested. Unfortunatly at the moment, I am a bit too busy to post on the forum, so starting a RP can't be done at the moment for me. Sorry about that.
