The list of stories below are linked to the stories themselves. Click on the story title to view the file. The icons on the right will give you an idea of the primary type of transformation dealt with in the story. Note that some stories have more than one different type of transformation or deal with several different transformations. In such cases, the icon represents the most-often used transformation or the transformation most central to the plot of the story. In some stories, of course, this system doesn't always work... so in those cases, I have used the "other" icon.
If any information (such as author name, title, or editorial errors within the stories) is incorrect, please contact me as soon as possible so I can rectify them. Thank you!
This Fiction Page's Question:
Q: When I write a story, what is the most important thing for me to remember about writing a statue transformation?
A: There's probably as many answers for this as there are people interested in statue stories. Some people will tell you be creative with your description, or do something that hasn't been done before. Others might say a certain pose is a must, or that dialogue is key. I'll tell you what I tell most people: No matter how, where, or when your transformation happens, don't compromise the story to fit a transformation into it. It's point A-number-one of writing: Tell a story using the words you need to-- to get from the beginning to the end-- and not a single one more. The story itself should always take precedence
over the statue scene. That's my ten cents' worth. Thanks for
playing.
