Considering all the above, what are the types of stories where the Trust Machines universe excels at?

people having innocent, safe and reversible fun with transformations

couples trying out fun things in the bedroom

revenge stories where people get trapped in undesirable shapes by enemies for a certain amount of time

people trying out being in other shapes, like animals

clothing transformation maniacs

"strange" transformations

permanent transformations (well, anything above three years... you can be stuck as something inanimate for up to three years)

mind loss and identity death

detailed transformation sequences (since changes happen instantaneous)





And what types of stories are Trust Machines bad for?

That's it! Now while there exists a sizable almanac about theuniverse, namely's Writer's Guide , I won't be a stickler for detail here. Of course the entries should be canon, but I don't wanna discourage anyone from entering this contest because they might feel impressed by the rules. Writing a basic Trust Machines story is, in my humble opinion,, and even can be done by only studying a few, short examples (which I will link down below).I definitely won't disqualify any well-meant attempts at writing a Trust Machines story simply because there are some minor deviations to the rules!The prizes will be as following:That being said, I'm pretty sure there will be one question on many minds:What the hell areTrust Machines is a story universe devised bya few years ago. In my opinion it's an awesomely fun, easy to write in universe if you enjoy telling stories about quick, reversible, but sometimes crazy transformations.The setup is as simple as it's ingenious. To use's words: Imagine a transformation booth - but with a twist: All over the world, mysterious booths are popping up near heavily frequented areas, such as shopping malls. These booths are quickly calledfor the rotating symbol on their walls.A Venn Machine is capable of transforming people - you put in a dime, set a timeframe (8/16/24 hours, 1/2/3 months, 1/2/3 years) and then enter the booth. And here comes the catch: Youuse a Venn Machine alone. And youuse it to transform yourself. You have to use it with a second person - and you can only transform the other person. Of course the other person can transformas well. And here's where the wordevolved from. You have tothe other person you get into the booth. After all, he/she has the power to change your body in any imaginable way. Imagine entering the booth and requesting the one on the other side to turn you into a cute anthro-fox - but what he/she does is turning you into a pig-girl!Transforming people is done by using a voice/touch based panel through which you can see the person sharing the booth with you. You say a word, the, displays a selection of bubbles which show the other person in a transformed shape, and you can touch the bubble which pleases your idea most - opening up more bubbles based on this. The actual transformation is then done by pressing a button.That might sound complicated, and in addition these are not all rules about the actual process of using a Venn Machine.if you don't wanna dive into details here, you can simply write around the process - by not depicting what happens inside the Venn Machine. Or by just not mentioning the actual mechanics while being inside. Here are a few examples of what Trust Machines stories could look like: Trust Machines Writers' Guide : The afore-mentioned Writer's Guide. Don't let yourself be deterred by its size and magnitude - a properstory can be written without needing more than a fraction of its rules! Trust Machines - William and Stella : The story which started it all. Features a transgender and inanimate transformation Trust Machines - Big Red : The second story in the universe. Features an inanimate transformation and a glimpse of the more crazy possibilities. Trust Machines - Party Time : An example for a story where the author has written around the actual usage process of the. Featuring anthro transformations. Trust Machines - Leashing : An example for a story which features a full animal transformation. Trust Machines - Mean Girls : An example for a story featuring the "trust" concept of these stories - and what happens if you can't trust the person on the other side. Trust Machines - Duel An example for a story featuring another interesting implication of using. People who are changed by awillbe able to turn back, either by entering the booth again, or when the duration of their change is up. That means that if, for example, you are turned into a mouse and get eaten by a cat, youturn back eventually - and by implication come back to life as well.Now, what kind of transformations canbe used for? Well, that's the beauty of it - almost everything!
