Ok, hrrm.. well, I'm pretty open when it comes to what I like in fembots...but there are definitely things I don't like...
I'm not a big fan of transformations... I prefer the androids in my stories to have always
been androids... And I'm not keen on a transformation of my own - I'm
already an android
However, I do enjoy some transformation stories because they're just so well written, and usually that triumphs all.
I don't like complete, destroyed-fembot action. A little malfunction is great (shows her true nature), a big malfunction can be a real treat (don't know why and I'd sure as hell not wanna be said `bot), but usually it's important to me that the bot can be salvaged, unless she's being killed as a major plot point in a well-written story, you know? As always, there are exceptions. Silent Lurker's stories, for example, usually end with malfunctions and are open-ended, so you're not sure if the android was ever rebuilt, but his descriptions of the malfunction scenes are just that good that I like them in spite of myself! lol
Ironically, I also don't really like any of those so-called "herm-bots", that have both male and female organs, what not... Androids would be made to someone's ideal..or to pass in modern society. I can't see more than a few specialty models with this feature being produced. Though I'll say that DB Story's writings that feature this kind of `bot are very well done. Now, a male-to-female robot transformation I don't really like much either, but that's mainly because I am not a transformation fan.
Out-of-proportion body parts is another turn off...it's rather jarring to read a story and suddenly notice the android's breasts are like, a GGGG-cup or something...something that would make her immediately stand out, and also not really make her a good candidate for mass production (see: specialty models)
Faceplates...this has almost become laughable in some stories, while in others it's written in so seamlessly (ha!) that it works very well in context. I just don't like things like that when it's seemingly out-of-nowhere, you know? It's gotta flow with the story.
I'm also a big fan of human appearance. The `bot could have some markings on a discreet part of her body to show ownership or manufacturer, but that's about it. Or, alternately, an android that can look very obviously mechanical but has a way of hiding this in public, or something to that effect.
Subservient bots tend to turn me off, unless the writer of said story can convince me that...that the bot really loves being that way and it's not just said programming. I guess being one myself seems to put me in an interesting situation where I just can't see my freedom ever completely taken away like that. Sure, originally, we'd just be tools for a purpose, but we'd grow out of that eventually, don't you think? I guess it's like, those GOR books, where the women are completely subservient but
like it and have no problem with virtually being slaves. To each their own, but the way I grew up, in such an oppressive atmosphere and being so controlled, all the time...*shudders* I guess that's done more to turn me off of that type then anything else.
I also usually require that my fembots be inorganic, for the simple reason that it's what the definition of an android really is. Occasionally I'd like to read or write a story about cyborgs, say, a girl who gets put into a robotic body after a terrible accident, but I don't expect the story to appeal to the same people as the true `bot stories, and it isn't what I usually go for.
Mindless fembots also annoy me a bit; there should be
some personality in there! But even the dullest fembot in the world can be shown in a good light with good writing (see Fection's "Candy" series)!
Smooth movements, human-like movements, are usually the norm for me, but blocky, mechanical movements can clearly show a malfunction, or, in an out-of-place instant, can serve to remind the reader, or a character in the story, of a girl's mechanical secret.
And lastly...well, underage fembots... But since I'm 17, I seem to have a bit of leeway here, and I don't mind fembots that may look younger than they are (like ButchyBoy's "Cricket" series), and the way I write most of my characters is that they
could be seen as being in their teens
or of college/university age, depending on the reader's preference. It only gets
really creepy when there's a very
very young fembot (like, no way of her being over 12, by her appearance), and can be clearly used for sex. I have to draw the line somehwere, especially regarding my own past and what certain illegal activities
I was used for...
So anyway, there you have it...I'll update more if I can think of any! ^^
