It depends on the chapter. I trust my muse to tell me when to wrap things up. Usually between 1500-3000 words.

Yeerks would be less of a forceful control and more of a full personality rewrite. The host might be aware, but they are not the one that people are interacting with. When I think of force manipulation, I am thinking of Kilgrave from Jessica Jones or How not to Summon a Demon Lord where the...

I don't entirely disagree with you, but I can see the utility of both methods of control for non-sexual purposes. When I am writing my Seed of Truth thread in the Homo Superior story, I try to make a point of making the value control to be deeper than just lust and sexual desire. Those play a...

I hear you. My intention with this thread is to get the temperature of the room and see which forms of power fantasy most stimulate the prurient interest in the typical CHYOA reader, trying to gauge what interests other people. The macro socio-economic effects of such magics are what most...

Suppose you are an adventurer/mage who has come across a sexy elf in the forest and since you come from a culture that encourages humans to use magic to bind non-humans, you proceed to successfully cast an enchantment and now are the proud owner of a newly enslaved elf. From the perspective of...

Try saying that three times fast :D. To quote my old writing professor, every story starts with a world, a character, and a quest. I have some ideas for a world that I want to explore through the eyes of a character, but I am not sure exactly what sort of character to make him. Part of me...

I am sure that enslaved elves would encourage their human masters to invest in more robust creatures and leave the elves to jobs that they excel at, like looking pretty and singing songs. It probably helps that the ageless elves would have an easy time taking advantage of human nostalgia.

I have an idea for an F/m scene, but I am not sure whose viewpoint I want to take, which perspective seems more interesting?

Half of all fantasy anime made in the last 10 years has some element of cute slave girls being compelled by magic to serve and obey the protagonist.

Exactly. Slave societies like Sparta, Rome, and Dixie had to devote huge amounts of resources for preventing slaves from running away or rebelling. Slavery died out in large part because the costs of maintaining security over a hostile population is more than the price point of competitive...

On the micro level, dealing with a case by case basis, breaking and taming monsters can make for good drama. But from macro level dealing with world building, a setting where slave rebellion is impossible and dutiful compliance to owners makes for an interesting societal structure.

Agreed. Circumstances are paramount. Elves can range drastically in their power relative of their human counterparts. IMHO the most important factors include, but are not limited to... Relative birth rates, the differences in magical prowess, the intelligence of the elven rulers, the nature of...
