Okay, so I totes don't want to come off as mean (although I can't help but be asinine) there is something I'd like to address.  

More and more people keep writing donkey tf stories (GOOD!!!! :)) But I also receive notes often asking me to critique stories by the very people writing them. Since I give them all the same advice, I'd like to now quickly say in one shot what I think makes a good donkey tf story.  And while I only offer my opinions, it's only for the selfish reason that it makes more people write them, which makes me happy! Yeahhh!! Happy little ass!   :)

Rule # 1: get to the point!  No one – NO ONE – reads a tf tale for the back-story.  That's great that Candice is an bitch and deserves her donkey tf, but we don't need her whole life story.  A few paragraphs is fine, but if you are going to write more than three, keep them short and sweet!  We came here for the tf – NOT every detail of Candice's life.  Also, if you write a multi-part story, just know that no one is reading Parts 1 and 2.  Honestly, we don't give a shit. We are just waiting for you to write Part 3 when you finally get to the goods!  

Rule#2: Probably the most important rule in the book.  Namely, the donkey tf itself.  Think of this as the opposite rule of Rule #1!  The more drawn out the donkey tf the better!  Try to think about what it would feel like to grow donkey ears, a tail, turn into a jack/jennyass.  Meditate on it.  Write it.  Also, consider the situation the transformee is in.  Consider her emotions like fear, paralyzing humility in the face of becoming an ass, desperation, uncertainty.  Make that bitch pay!    

Rule #3: Keep the characters to a minimum, or you are likely to run into a Rule# 1 problem.  Or, even if there is not a lot of back-story but still a lot of characters, there are other things that can happen.  Example - There's an AMAZING story by a tf writer (I won't say who), but s/he adds so many donkey tf victims that even *I* lost track!  Did Shelley have donkey ears and a tail or just a tail?  What about Linda … waitaminute!  A moment ago Linda was a donkey, but now she's just starting to grow a tail!  What I'm getting at here is that I think even the author (<3 him to death) lost track of the tfs!  Look, it was still an awesome story and it still revved my engines like I needed it to, but yeah, keep the characters to a minimum.  Secondary characters (like other people on Pleasure Island or wherever) can be whatever number you want (like, "hundreds of donkeys now filled the streets that once was crowded with loud party-goers" or something).  

On the opinion side of things (and here I'm showing the masochist in me!) I also like when someone who knows about/is causing the donkey tf to mock the donkey tf victim.  I know. I'm weird. What can I say?  I'm just a little ass that needs to be put in her place sometimes ;)

So how about you all? What do you like in a donkey tf?  Are these valid points?  What would you add or take out?

What I love about a tf story is: There are a maximum of five lines explaining what triggered the tf and why and starting in the sixth line we get to the tf, I don't need no hitch-hatch of 27 lines of just some backstory or that the changes started on line 3 but continue at line 17! (I'm mainly referring to"her first time" a story on FA, but this applies to all stories
