| | "Vanishing Transformation", by Mike Brotzman |
 | | There is definitely a transformation in there, it might be mentioned or have occurred in the past or have occurred to others, but it is not a focus of the story and it does not drive the story. |
 | | And, since the actual transformation is rapid and generally occurs whilst the victim is unconscious or incapacitated, it forces you to write about the consequences of the transformation, instead of just transporn. |
 | | Transformations aren't very real, of course, but when writing a transformation story it helps to make the transformation appear to be real, and the appearance of realism is exactly what 'verisimilitude' is. People don't just transform for no reason. |
