Side Dishes 4-13 (Patreon)

We've been seeing a lot of discussion in the comments about one particular element of the winning poll, and I think it's worth discussing, especially after the person who submitted the winning idea suggested the possibility of holding a poll on the decision...

In the winning suggestion, Blue disguises herself as Lisette to trick Nina and Cassandra into trusting her, and in the process tells them that she is immune to the Queen's mind control/pregnancy, and that her own cum can be used to take over the aliens (just like Pink told Kat).

There is debate on a couple parts of that... for one, why would she disguise herself specifically as Lisette? And if she was disguised as Lisette, why would she reveal such sensitive information to Cassandra and Nina? There have been suggestions that she should disguise herself as one of the other characters, or even as a new, original character.

Personally, I'm of the mind that Lisette makes the most sense as someone for her to disguise herself as. It's someone who Blue knows well enough to impersonate (remember: Blue was the one to taste Lisette's cum in Side Dishes 3, where we learned that Lisette's cum can drive the aliens wild). It's also someone who is kept in isolation, so what has happened to her and when is the least likely to be monitored, so it can potentially be a fun surprise for the kind of reader who doesn't read author's comments (keep in mind that this Patreon has over 100 patrons, but only around 30 people consistently vote in polls, and even less actively comment).

I do agree, though, that it's weird for her to offer up so much information so readily. I think that it would make sense for Cassandra to not trust her, so she offers information to convince them of her value and gain their trust. Or at least hold their curiosity long enough for Green and Red to arrive and assist her. Atlernatively, we could also have Blue simply lie at this point, and make promises that are definitely not true (like that she cums acid that can kill the aliens, or something else ridiculous). It would make it less of a surprise for when she reveals herself, but it might also work as a hint for perceptive readers that not is all as it seems.

Also... within the context of the story, does anyone even know that the aliens can shapeshift? The Queen only did that once, and the only person who witnessed it was Bianca, who was promptly brainwashed. I don't know if they ever bothered with it again after arriving on the space station... it would give more credence to her disguise if they didn't even know she could shapeshift to begin with.

Anyway, I just wanted to open things up for discussion on this issue, since it kind of dominated the last pages comment section. If enough people have a grievance about this particular part of the idea I'll probably open up a poll and see if there's a different character she should disguise herself as. But so far I will say that I like the idea of her disguising herself as Lisette... I suppose I'm more used to coming at these things from the persepective of a writer. It's kind of different with something like Side Dishes where you know that everyone reading the story could easily see all your ideas, so it feels kind of pointless to try and "trick" your audience, but I still like to write things as though the reader is getting it fresh.
