A big favorite that I have seen on other sites is alien impregnation/insemination/genetic experimentation. That might fit into Pelusa's request... the aliens have landed looking for perfect female specimens (i.e. superheroines) to be the surrogate 'mothers' of their race. Is this something that you all might be interested in? If so, how could we do it without resorting to the tired tentacle or fluid-filled scenes that are standard for this genre? Basically, how can we 'class it up' a bit and keep the focus on the alien abduction, enslavement, and experimentation as opposed to just the hardcore squick?

I really don't think we need any impregnation stuff in the story. The goblin-sized aliens aren't looking to mate, they wanna get home. These women are just the thing they need. Their parasites don't affect men. They just want their ship put back together, and enough crew to man the ship for the way home. They don't understand 'human' clothing, so no robes or slippers on the girls.

If you're looking to avoid squick, you ought to focus on the aliens' technology rather than their... um.... appendages. The penetrating tentacles can easily be mechanical rather than biological, and the emphasis on examination tables, plexiglass tubes, etc., can mitigate the slimy, squishy stuff a lot. I think finster's latest in the "requests" file gets it right. There's a lot of ray beams, teleportation, and yes, an insertion, but the "alienness" of the scenario is focused on the techno, not the bio.

BTW, great job on the Alien Abduction story Fin!
