Good thoughts. I largely agree with you. There are a lot of shades of grey within the game. For example, one of the primary differences between Evan and Damien is that while both may take advantage of a woman in certain circumstances only Damien would likely continue once consent or implied consent has been withdrawn.
Both Damien and Evan are opportunistic, pushy, horny, have relatively low self control, and are heavily influenced by Taylor's powers. But they aren't necessarily completely irredeemable.
Another example is Ryan. He is arguably far nicer than both Evan and Damien with more self control and honor yet he still decides to cheat on Julie once he realizes that Taylor is likely a far better match. His actions may be motivated by self interest yet they may lead to a far more happy situation for everyone involved in the long term.
There are stories that exist on sites like fictionmania and TFGS but finding mostly complete and well written work is harder than it should be given the volume. I did partially base certain stories on themes from the X-Change series (mainly xc alternative, since it actually has a decent story) and IF like The Weekend by Tufty. There are also a lot of good comics on tgcomics.com I was thinking I might make one there just to help advertise Transfigure. I wrote Transfigure because I wasn't satisfied with the offerings currently available. I read a lot of these stories and they'd often have good scenarios that went nowhere so I wanted to take the kernel and replant it so it could grow into what I viewed as its proper form.
