Universes question

Didn't there used to be a universe of stories about a machine that changed peoples but was a free sample service? I think the machine was a Morphic Adaptive Unit?

I can't remember the last time I saw a story like that or what the universe was or if it had a home site?

Thanks :)

Google Search

Since Google search and results was part of a recent blog I thought this was interesting.

I recently discovered asstr.org was gone. Apparently its been gone a while, but its not somewhere I went often. It did have an archive of stories called Old Joe's Collection. This had a TG section of stories from when I started reading them on Usenet. Usenet was the internet's message boards before the web was invented.

Looking for a Classic TG story

I just re-read the first part of a story called "Vitamins" by Christine Norman. It was only the first part of a muli-part story, but the location Old Joe's Collection only had the first part.

The collection is a ton of stories from the early internet days of Usenet and BBS sites. These are the stories I found when I was looking for TG stories 30+ years ago.

Thanks for any help!

Looking for a story

I can't remember the name of it or the characters. I remember a couple lives across the way from an older woman who turns out to be a witch. She feeds the man herbal tea that over time mutates his soul so it resembles her body and no longer fits his own. Eventually he feels extremely broken down and she uses a kiss or mouth to mouth to swap their souls.

Familiar to anyone? I have been trying all sorts of search variations here and FM and striking out.

Thanks!!
