Now my mind doesn't always flow along these lines. You know me... I want unwilling... I want forced... I want hardcore. So that part of my mind kept pushing its way in, and kept trying to trip it up. And some of those darker ideas are still here, but I tried my best to keep this an awww style loving cap.
Now what I needed was a picture. I found a nice little site that has some beautiful photographs for computer wallpapers. Here are a couple I looked at before settling on the woman with the headset:
Thankfully I did find the one I used. I didn't do much to it besides cropping it down. The background was just straight black, so I wasn't even obscuring anything, and had plenty of room to cover it up. And with this image, the idea of hypnosis came up. I mean come on... doesn't she just look like she's being hypnotized? So now I just had to put it into story form.
The first draft went... well again, it went dark. Ron's sister caught him stealing panties, and forced him through hypnosis to become a girly sissy. Yea, it was nice and I got a little thrill out of it, but just as Steffi went darker than she normally does on "Puppet" for me (and if you haven't read that, then go over and read it NOW!), I wanted to go lighter than I normally do for her. Plus, these are creative wings that I rarely get to stretch out. Also after reading Steffi's "Manifesto" I wanted to touch upon that. How would her life be if this DID happen to her.
I did, however, keep the format of 'Tammy' talking to someone else. In my head I pictured it being a friend of Tammy's, but I left that up to you the reader. Mainly because it wasn't in the first draft, and I was already cutting pieces out, so I just didn't have room to put something in. But hey... if you read this and saw that mysterious voice as Ron's buddy, then so be it.
I didn't bring anything new design wise to this. But before I even had the story written, I had this laid out. My only problem was all that blank black space around her head. It came to me pretty quickly to use the same thing I did in "Win Win" as that cap seemed to be pretty popular. But instead of it being Tammy's voice talking to Mandy, it's the subliminal messages.
I don't know how the story will go over, as I'm not the best judge at warm hearted stories, but I like it.
I have to so agree with Steffi, it is a totally cool caption and hits so many of my buttons. Part of that cold be that I have been into Hypnosis since i was a teen and still love it.
