Green (Stoplight Stepfordization)
🕑 Added 2023-08-16 12:00:01 +0000 UTCSo... I ended up doing something a little different this time? Not particularly experimental, but different. This is going to be the first of 3 stories which are all oneshots, but connected to each other. Each of these "Stoplight Stepfordization" stories is going to be something you can read on its own, but they share a setting and a general theme.
This story, Green, is about a reporter named Faith. But unlike previous intrepid reporters I've written, who have all borrowed from Lois Lane in that they're tough as nails, go-getting, investigative women who are only stepfordized because they're caught off guard... Faith is not that. She's a bit of a wide-eyed, fresh out of college, naïve reporter wannabe. She's just too trusting to be a Lois Lane type, and as a result, is easily duped by the staff of our latest brainwashing facility, which touts itself as a "wellness center" for women.
The next two stories, Yellow and Red, are going to also take place at Happy Hills Wellness Center, but will focus on other characters, each of whom responds differently to attempts to Stepfordize them. Where Faith is a prime target for brainwashing, our next two protagonists will be very different types.

Thanks! I don't currently have plans for a sequel or spinoff to Office Work, but I'm not opposed to it! I'll definitely consider doing more with that character

Thank you!

That was awesome! I too am looking forward to the rest of this series. Hopefully parts two and three will show how Faith develops as we focus on the other future wives at the wellness clinic

Looking forward to this trio of stories :3 As a side note, do you think you'll ever revisit Patience from your office story? I'd like to see a story about a military vet who became the perfect Stepford secretary!
