Perhaps unsurprisingly, I always wanted to make my own recurring story elements ala SRU or the Medallion of Zulo. I came up with a few, but I really always liked one idea in particular where some sort of scientist invented a machine that basically turned you into the potential female you would have been if the universe was slightly different.
I suppose there were a couple reasons I liked this one. First, I liked the idea of the machine being a prototype that could have strange results such as only turning part of you into your 'alter-woman', or may leave part or all of you permanently transformed. It may have had effects that only changed something non-physical about you; like your job or clothing. Partial transformations have always enthralled me in TG fiction.
I also liked the idea of the mind of the "alter-woman" taking over your body from time to time. As mentioned, I like hypnosis and such and this was a similar idea; that you would simply awaken (perhaps still slightly transformed) and find this alternate personality had been doing things while you were 'asleep'. Ideally, after a while the alter-you would have control for longer and longer periods, and one day you might just wake up to find that she found a way to make the whole transformation permanent...
Anyway, this cap is kind of working with that idea, which is why it is a bit dense and wordy. But I hope the concept is still interesting to some
