Hello! I'm looking for stories, interactives, captions, actually
pretty much anything that involves a character with the ability to
control multiple bodies or having their consciousness occupying
multiple bodies simultaneously.
Here's an almost hidden snippet of a storyline written by
Enigma/Wassel that I managed to find in the writing.com interactive
"The Reality Stone"
http://www.Writing.Com/main/interact/item_id/1768380-The-Reality-Stone/map/1212
This doesn't have to be a direct example. I'm hoping to find this
kind of trope in other forms such as head swaps (e.g. "A few heads
are better than one"), body swaps, transformations, multiple
possessions (e.g. a clone occupying the original body a la "Body
Change", "Abuse of Power" or some storylines of "Acquiring Powers"
interactives. Great stories and authors in general imo.) I haven't
found a lot of captions or any other medium dealing with this.
Thanks!

Two things come to my mind:
The story "Halloshift Trio: Disguised For Halloween" by Deathlike
The comics "Nu-Life" Episodes 3 and 4 by Sturkwurk

"can i ask for the links to halloshiftrio and Me because google and

You really need to bone-up on your search abilities.
"Me" by Morpheus - took me about 60 seconds to find using FM search
(I figured it was an old story, so started with the last page OF
150 RESULTS first: https://www.fictionmania.tv/stories/readtextstory.html?storyID=3046477578520603
Deathlike has ONLY TWO STORIES on FM - it took me TEN SECONDS to
find the story: https://www.fictionmania.tv/stories/readtextstory.html?storyID=3337219050922626751
Are you trying to use Goolge to search FM - because that isn't
going to work. You have to use FM's search tools... Author List...
Super Search (Starting With). Play with the search tools, they are
your friend.

Continuing through those 150 search results for stories titled
"Me", I found two versions of a story with that name from Regina
Dennis:

and

@pittbee & Shard
I must've missed those ones, thanks guys!
@Abhothoh
You can search them by authors: "Deathlike" for "Halloshift" and
"Morpheus" for "Me".
@rugal
I should've mentioned that one. I think it's one of the best in
general. I must say I enjoyed your "The Touch" interactive, and
it's sad to see how short it's ended up being :(
(I can't leave out the "The Book of Masks" & "Skin Suits", of
course.)
Actually, it's sad in general to see some nice interactives or even
some storylines in major ones (that somehow manages to find it's
way to this trope) end up short-lived.
Is that because it's not popular or because some authors simply
give up trying to find interesting dynamics to explore with this? I
always thought it opened up a lot of possibilities for a
protagonist (or in some cases, even an antagonist a la a certain
and yet another short-lived storyline in the interactive "Body
Change." by MysteryGirl.)
@MrInternetMan
Nice to see some art about this for a change. Enjoyed those,
thanks!

@M2FB
Yeah, those are cool, but they are more "possession" than what I
was talking about, which is a character having some extent of a
control (if not direct) of two or more bodies. I don't know if it
ends up happenning in the future though. (Or was it a two-parter?)
Anyhow, thanks for mentioning!
@cj
Thanks, I'll be sure to check those out :)

@ leon
Don't know if this is up your alley or not, but if you liked my
Reality Stone chapters I've also got a mental clone story thread
going here as well (though its a work in progress and the subject
matters probably not for everyone):
https://www.writing.com/main/interact/item_id/1974478-The-Transplant/map/15531
Might be of interest.

abhothoh - you're welcome. Even I am still learning some of the
nuances of searching the vast guts of the interwebs. Most of the
time, you'll quickly find the results you're looking for. But there
are the occasions where you have to work for the little nugget that
leads to the motherlode. Experimentation is often the best way to
learn... asking for help when you need it.
Though, how you ask for help... your request might have been better
received by instead asking for help searching (rather than results
of said search - helps you learn better, keeps us from blowing
steam and pulling our hair out). Something like, "I'm having
problems searching on FM for the halloshiftrio and Me stories,
Google gives me no relevant results and I can't seem to figure out
how to work FM search., it gives me nearly 300 results for the Me
story. Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?"
Chances are you'll get a bunch of sarcastic answers and Rube
Goldberg-isq steps to try, but you're likely to find even some of
those to be a learning experience. And usually someone here will
have a moment or ten to shove or drag or guide you in a close
enough direction that will be helpful to your quest... and
hopefully your understanding of the archaic world of site-specific
searches.

If memory serves, in "Me" all the members of a family get hooked up
to a gadget that a mad-scientist (but sympathetic) sort of neighbor
has created. It's supposed to copy a few memories from a boy to
every other member of the family -- supposed to be like a teaching
machine. Instead it wipes out everyone else's memories and replaces
them with copies of his, so we have I think six people who all
remember being only the boy -- only one, the original, has his
body.
To me this isn't quite what the original poster wants but it's
interesting.

@Wassel
I semi-regularly check out your work, and I've looked up your other
chapters and even ones in other interactives after that one, only
to find the subject usually deviates towards a certain relationship
and it really might not be everyone's cup of tea. Please don't get
me wrong though, I think your writing is amazing, and skill-wise,
definitely a lot better than a whole lot of people who contribute
to those interactives, and I still enjoy a lot of your work. I just
wish you would thread out and explore other stuff though. What I
was originally looking for might not also be to everyone's taste,
but if you ever had another go, I'll be sure to check it out.
@abhothoh
I know that FM search can be a bit weird, I know I struggle with it
sometimes. (Personally, I think it's.. Nevermind.) I don't want to
deviate from the subject, but here's what I simply did:
For the "Halloshift" story:
- In the site, from the top menu, Search -> Super Search
- In the Story Title, input "halloshift" (without quotes, of
course)
And for the other story, "Me", which is a bit more difficult to
find (as cj pointed out that it's about 150 results), I actually
had to go through them to find it. It is quite easy to miss the one
written by Morpheus, which I think is the one Shard was talking
about. (The other ones by Regina Dennis are about body
modifications, I think.)
@guest [post #16
Thanks for the summary :) Yeah, you're right, but I think it's in
the ballpark the very least. I'm not very picky about this (and
can't be, tbh) since it's quite obvious that it's not a popular
subject. The story is still good though.
@cj
I don't mean to appear lazy not going through all of the Gulliver's
Planet stories (I'm sure they're great and I'll check them out
thoroughly at some point), it'd be great if you could nudge me to
the part where this trope plays out. It's ok if you don't wanna
bother though.

leon - You want the "Little Girl Blew" stories. Everything is
started to be setup, and initial discovery are in Part 1 of the
tale, so it would help to start there. However, part 2 is where
things start to get interesting and even more discoveries are made.
I highly suggest that you read that entire part.

@leon
I think the problem with The Touch (and The Shape of Things) is,
really, that nobody contributed. On one hand it kind of sucks as
there's no motivation to keep writing if you don't think anyone's
reading or in the case of an interactive contributing. I don't know
if it's intimidation or what but yeah. On the other hand, though,
I'd rather have no contributors than a bunch of poor quality ones.
Seuzz and imaj are probably the gold standard interactive writers
on that site imo and Seuzz now has actual getting paid writing gigs
going and the last time I talked with/emailed imaj he'd kind of
lost motivation IIRC which I can understand; I haven't contributed
anything in a long time as well due to lack of motivation stemming
from a variety of sources.

@cj
Thanks! That'll help :)
@rugal
I understand. Surely, by definition it requires others
"interacting" with the story and it's completely understandable to
feel that way when no one actually does. It might be intimidation,
but for me, I just have ideas and no skill to execute them. (At
least for now.) And I agree with having no contributions instead of
having flat, single-line chapters. Some writers that I keep seeing
do this all the time, and I wonder what it actually accomplishes in
terms of directing the story. Now, I simply don't bother once I see
their names in an interactive I look up.
I'm not surprised to know that Seuzz is getting paid, those works
are quite substantial. With all due respect, I have to admit that
sometimes they end up getting quite extensive for me and I struggle
to keep up with the story and characters. For me, it feels like
reading a lengthy novel with multiple storylines. It isn't like I'm
not appreciating the amount of planning it took (I read the blog
entries whenever I can), and I still think it's one of the best
large-scale interactives out there.
If you have any other works (which might be hosted on other sites
I'm not aware of), I'd love to take a look. (And not just about
this trope.)
To steer this back to the topic, here's a couple of things I've
found for those interested:
(Story)
A Real Double Person by AB Norway
http://www.tgstorytime.com/viewstory.php?sid=725
I think this one's a bit rare and mildly interesting. The
protagonist is living his/her life in two bodies in parallel, a
male and a female.
(Interactive storyline)
Two Ryans Are Better Than One by Blarg Blargington
http://www.Writing.Com/main/interact/item_id/1734439-The-Swaptacular-Remote/map/133122
Again, this short storyline might not fit my original description,
but it's similar to what I was looking for. It uses a more common
trope, "clones" of the characters consciousness occupying multiple
bodies.
(Side note: I'm not ruling "clones" out, since it's the closest
trope to this. I know there are loads more content about it, and I
should point out that I'm open to any suggestions.)
Those two examples are mainly tg. Just to avoid confusion, I should
also mention I'm not limiting my search to that. I'm looking for
all kinds dealing with this trope.
