Hey there!

This story contains three chapters, four NSFW scenes, each changing based on your selected body parts and actions, and three endings. It's a short sweet magical lust ride of 30k words.


Why I Wrote This Story:

I wrote this short story because I'm just tired of all the boring things that happen in fantasy NSFW fanfic. There's so much more sexual activity that magic allows than is written about.

So I want to work on a much longer project whose whole plot will be in the hundreds of thousands of words, but that's just an awful idea without a complete understanding of the tools you're working with, so I made this quick prototype story in two weeks.

Now just because it's a prototype doesn't mean that it isn't a fully contained story. It has a beginning, middle, and multiple ends, and I wrote it using a style that:

  • Is person focused.
  • And lets your brain fill in the details.

This lets me easily swap out the body parts that the main character has, which means that you can play as a male, female, or anything in-between or outside of. It also aims to engage your imagination to the max in order to fill in vague details, so that you can understand the story the way you want.

That was the goal. The reality is probably less than ideal.


For You Developers Out There, Here's a Little Bonus Information:

I made this prototype to test the Twine, Tweego, and SugarCube workflow.   All the template code is available on my GitHub so other IF writers can check out the code and see things they'd like. Some novel features include:

  • The ability to easily disable content.
  • How pronoun changes are set.
  • Event handlers of all types.
  • Tooltips.
  • A server-side setup using Google's Firebase.
  • Et cetera.

The template documentation is still being written, so hang in there!

  • For the first half, the tool-tip for "sylphs" doesn't work.
  •  Throughout, your name keeps alternating between your chosen name, "Leah" and "pc_name".
  • Ralph sometimes refers to Sarah as "Ralph" and "he".
  • And on the one hand, the same paragraphs repeat back-to-back with only small differences in text, like they were from two different drafts (e.g. contemplating transformation)
  • While on the other hand, paragraphs seem to get skipped leading to non-sequiturs (e.g. Ralph's hands are suddenly revealed to have been tied behind his back at some unknown prior point).

Oh, and if you disable nsfw content (yeah, I know, I know), and then use Ralph as the test subject, there is no way of progressing the story after the "steak cooking" line.

Ah, this is correct. I've fixed it internally... for whenever the next update is.

Thanks for the error checking, I appreciate it.

The sylphs issue is an author skill issue. I was learning literally everything to be learned with this first story, and simply didn't make the best decisions. That resulted in this technical issue.  This will, unfortunately, not be fixed without a rewrite of the tooltip system, which I have no plans to do for this story.

Story crafting an IF was also a first for me, which led to the errors with the non-sequiturs and same-ish paragraphs. These will likely not be fixed in the foreseeable future. If you check out my other two stories, you will likely, and unfortunately, see some of the same traits.

I've gone ahead and fixed the second and third issues in my internal build, which also has other minor fixes and spelling corrections.

Should I ever rewrite the story (and I may, as this one is my first), I'll address all these issues.

Typo: "Of course, I could also check your hair or your skin, but the most consistent amount of keratin in humans is in the [humans (should be nails)].

Ahh, how embarrassing! I go through the story so many times and still some things slip through...

Thanks, I fixed it and will reupload the fix in a few minutes. Updated. I hope you're enjoying the story!
