What's the ideal outcome?

[Daphne]

What's your ideal outcome at the end of the story? I'm going to be cruel and insist that you pick only one.

[jmundt29]

I'd probably pick option d.  It's complicated and it varies from story to story.  Ideal ending for a story or comic depends on the plot itself, the characters, their evolution, and the art.

My personal ideal ending for SJI is different from The Convent of St. Nicholas or Martian Harem or Faerie Tail or BR or Chrysalis or Audiophilia or Canadian Girlfriend or Cuckoo's Nest, or Roll Playing.

Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of the "fuckbot" option.  However, Chrysalis explores various forms of it very interestingly, and Free Trade Zone's ideas of Pleasure Collective are quite intriguing.

As for the other two options, it depends on the character.  I like the idea of Cherry as a sex-slave and servant of the Harem as a comeuppance for her extreme odiousness and have held forth on that subject several times.  But, I like the interconnected relationships of SJI and enjoy viewing many of them with the "girlfriend" label.

However, the vain priestess in Cuckoo's Nest is an ideal candidate for sex-slave reprogramming and it's been a running joke in the comic.

I put 'sex slave' but really the ideal outcome is probably somewhere between that and 'girlfriend'. Hypnosis-aided 24/7 submissive, I suppose?

I'll go the other direction: somewhere between sex slave and fuckbot for me, though tending towards the former.

Pretty close to this.  Normal, functioning woman, submissive, devoted, perhaps desperate to please, and easily put in heat.

Not going to be a popular opinion, I suspect, but I would actually like to see the girls get away some times. Or turn the tables. I feel guilty enough reading these stories as it is.

I say 'girlfriend' as it implies willingness.  I'm all for a sex-slave, but too often that means mindlessness.  I like the idea of someone being changed, knowing, and coming to like it.  So they are a girlfriend *while knowing* that they've been mind-controlled in some way.  (for reference, see "Hidden Knowledge").

I'm not sure how aware the girls in THK are, really... that series needs some love, it's been too long.

Charlotte in By the Book, though...

Charlotte's change was damn hot.
