I'm more of a masking writer than a figuring writer, but the way I'd prefer to phrase it is as a disguise fiction writer. Locking masks feature embarrassingly often in my works and the appeal has to do with a heightened level of encasement, further immersion into character, bondage, and submissive bdsm elements. I can probably talk about this forever, but there's a commonality I've found in people who like the disguise/identity change element.

There's something quite restricting about being just you for the rest of your life. Sure, there may be things that only you can do, you may like yourself overall, and who you are etc. But in a world where we have so much fiction, especially interactive fiction, games etc, where we are invited into other people's lives, other worlds, the restriction of just living your whole life as just you with all its limitations is chafing.

Escape is the common thread, sometimes just from the mundane- but what sets disguise fiction apart from your generic american road movie is a perception that we ourselves, who we are, is the primary obstacle, looks, personality, philosophy even- not just the usual authority figure/small town tropes.

Being someone else, completely, is not a thrill that we can really indulge in without a mask of some kind, and to lock it on is heightening that thrill with the threat, real or simulated, of not being able to go back. Its playing with a possibility most if not all of us aren't comfortable with expressing normally, since its admitting a desire to bring about the end of yourself, even temporarily, to be someone else.

does anyone have any more? I'm also into any other kind of locked or glued on masks, rubber or silicone, that suffocate the identity of the person inside and trap them inside.
