This is a really hot story. Here's an idea for you or anyone else: How about a nerdy kid who hangs around locker room at school & finds a jock, slips it on & transforms into a beefy, dumb as a bag of bricks football player?

I hope you write the second chapter someday.

Well well well, this gives me an idea. Great job as usual, I definitely think you should pursue stories of this nature more often.

The link between horror and eroticism seems to be a known phenomenon, it's just not thought about by many. The transformation and bonding aspects with a symbiont would seem to fulfill a desire for a soulmate and for the hyper masculine forms that (many of us, at least) we desire. To pull from a tumblr meme, it was suggested that queer relationships progress faster than straight ones because we're starved for queer contact. Add to that the cultural oppression that nonheteronormative people face, and it's easy to draw a line from that which is considered 'horrifying' (for the bigots) to the erotic. Then it's just a hop skip and a jump to finding the more objectively horrifying material erotic. (I'm a physicist, not a philosopher, so take all that with an appropriately-sized grain of salt.)

I agree with this whole creepy v. erotic discussion! This is an interesting conversation for the authors on this forum -- there are very few people who would understand that the way we do, especially those of us who capitalize on the creepy stuff, the alien invasions, the taking of slaves, etc. And honestly, it's not the first subject that comes up in any of my writing workshops.... I think it's our job, as writers -- as artists, if I may be so bold -- to push boundaries. We explore themes in fiction that could/should never exist in real life and we discover why human nature is what it is. POLLINATION is a horror story -- and if it had gone where I'd imagined it to go, it could be taken as a dire warning for the future. It just happens to be super-erotic. One of the things I like about rubbrsome's interpretation -- he's revealed his overall plans to me -- is he's looking at a MUCH BIGGER PICTURE. He's dropped a few hints about it in this chapter. It's gonna be a great ride -- scary AND erotic. I think the balance is beautiful.

He seems young and naive, to me. I got a sense he wasn't well socialized and just acts more childish than he really is. On top of that, he's riding high on his transformation and acting like an eager pup (some of his wolf brethren influencing the hive mind, perhaps). TL;DR I didn't find Junior's characterization creepy.

It's exactly where it should be. My personal preference would be to describe the shrinking and giants more, but these stories are amazing.

Hypnothrill Thanks for the clarification. Trust me, I always worry whether I've gone too far. I want readers to be creeped out and, yet at the same time, turned on. It's a very fine line to walk. So I wouldn't be surprised if I stumbled or lost my readers.
