In your opinion...

Hello there!

I'm working on a thread right now that involves something new for me: a drug. The drug in question is used to induce some minor physical transformations as well as plunge the character in a state of confusion, making it harder and harder for her to understand what she really wants (and therefore, making her much more likely to abide by suggestions made to her).

Before I work more on it, I was wondering if you think it has its place on Chyoo? The way I see it, it is almost the same as a character getting drunk and doing all sorts of things he/she wouldn't do when sober, and it is even closer to all the mind-control stuff. But I am worried the fact this behavior is induced by an unknown "drug" might bring it "over the edge", compared to threads where alcohol or esoteric powers are involved.

But of course, I may be wrong. So... your opinion... ?

I think it's a valid mind-control story. There's no essential difference between using magic words or drugs.

As long as the story doesn't involve violence or underage sex, I don't believe there will be a problem with it. Not everyone will like the topic, but what else is new?
 
Thanks for your answer. It's something I don't recall seeing on Chyoo, so I was wondering if it was a known "don't do what Donny don't does".

Not everyone will like the topic, but what else is new?

And that's fine with me. To each its own. :D

Heck, I'm not even sure if I "like" that thread I'm working on. I tackle a few things I've never written about in it. It's definitely in the "experiment" domain. And that's fine as well. ;)

I think it would work fine as a Mind Control Story. There is not such thing as mind control so all forms are made up any way. I don't see how a drug would be any different. I don't see it being over the edge at all.
 
There have been a couple of other stories using drugs in such a way. The female of path of Niceguy's Lost Identity story featured pills causing transformations to certain parts of the character's 'anatomy'. And I think Cutie put something in about MC using chemicals in her second story Mind Control University.
 
To the question at hand, this screams mind control, so I say go for it. And yes, there is mention of a chemical branch in MCU. It's actually intended to be an MC aid, but it's also possible be used on ot's own. I really do hope to see this done, Bunga. If you want any help, drop me an e-mail or hang a note.
