Hmmm...Anthro or Full? That IS a tough one...

You've pretty much already summed up the good points, but here's an idea that might sway you. Who said that the Anthro version couldn't also be the size of an apartment...
Just a thought...

If you really can't decide, then you could always do both..
Actually, there's a thought for you. you could write one story where the transformee goes Full and one where he goes Anthro. And you could start them both that same way, showing the difference between the two...
Just a thought that literary popped into my head just a second ago.

Anyway, I'll leave you to it now. Good luck with it, whatever you decide to do.

Anthro for the win.

With most of the TF community being full TF fans, be different.

It's been so long since I could say,
"I've needed anything stronger".
We can't be wrong if we have ties that bind us.
If I rely and I know the strength,
In those who taught me of the power of the ties that bind.

Mmm, y'know, I really don't know. You seem to like TFs a lot, but then, you've written a few of those already... so maybe go with the anthro? I'd like to see what you'd do with that!

*Votes for anthro* Like you said, there're much more possibilities with an anthro-tf.

I'd also have to toss my vote for anthro. Not for any particular reason other then physics. Namely, that pesky little conservation of mass law.

Unless you were going to spread the transformation over the course of a year or so, you just couldn't realistically expect such a transformation to be possible.

Unless the target of said transformation were to be say, a midget lugia... or would transform completely, then grow to size naturally in the aftermath. Even then though I don't think your transformee would ever be capable of coming close to reaching the size of a natural one.

Unless you were to blame a wizard or something like that.

That said, I've enjoyed reading all the bits of story you've posted... So I guess you can circumvent my vote entirely and just do what you want to.

Ooh.. A shapeshifting lugia Hybrid... and because of it's intense pyschic power, you can bypass a bunch of the pain and things that go with form shifting.

Whichever one you do, i look forward to reading it.

Personally, I like the longer ones, *cough* Anthro *cough*, but you write good TF's either way.
I look forward to seeing the finished product!

You should go with full.
