How long should a transformation last?

[creativesam]

In you ideal transformation fantasy, how long should the transformation
last? This includes the duration of the transformation itself and the time after the transformation is completed.

[Blitz12]

the TF should be slow,yet the afterwards duration of the TF depends on the reason why they Tf'ed

[WereDragon]

It definitely depends. Like, there's a difference between a free will TF (it's the persons choice) or a punishment (punisher's choice). So it definitely depends.

[TimidTabby]

Yeah, it does depends.
You see, in my TF fantasy, I would like to either change very slowing during the day to get use to some of the new features and appearences before I fully change or I may just want it slow, like say "10 to 20 mins." It would also depend how weird/painful/pleasurable/etc the TF is. Mood also is a factor for me. If I just wanted to get away from my daily life for a while I would want to stay TF, say...into a cat (who didn't see that coming?), and wander about for a few hours. However, may just want to stay a cat for a whole day or more if I just don't want to talk or see anybody "normally" for a while.
Like I say, it depends,

[WereDragon]

Exactly, that's pretty much it.

[KyubiVash]

I would prefer it be a free will type thing...
