Oh boy, I love talking about my writing process, thanks for asking.

Most my stories (unsurprisingly) stem from my own fantasies, what I find most enjoyable. Usually just scenes will crop into my head, and I'll give it a lot of thought and see if it can expand.

TBH, most can't. The most they can be is short stories, if not just basically one scene.

But some of the ideas I have I find have legs. They get more delicious the more plot I add, as far as I'm concerned. I find the ones that do offer me an idea to explore through the story. Dream Dungeon is honestly about what people may be afraid kink is vs how great it can be when it's done with someone who cares. Too Big To Handle is about what people tell you you should want vs being unafraid enough to go after what it is you actually do want. The Contract is about... I'll let that story grow a little more before I spoiler it smiley

Once I know what it's about, once I know it has legs, an outline kinda just forms in my head? I know the ending of any longer piece I make (except a few of the earlier ones... wonder why I didn't finish them. Though I do know DD's ending, I just had Life come up which kept me from completing it... yet). I know the major "tent poles" if you will, the major moments that drive the story. I don't always know the smaller moments and I feel like I discover a lot along the way. Sometimes I have to change tent pole moments when I've realize my story no longer built to them or my characters no longer did (i.e. Did you know Ari in TBTH was supposed to have a brother that passed away? Of course not, it later proved to not be important to the story).

So I guess I'd say it's a mixture of the two. There is an "outline" in my head, but I allow the story to also grow organically. I have moments in writing where I have to pause and really think, which leads to me deleting things, because I realize while what I'm writing works for the *scene* it doesn't support the overall story I'm trying to tell. My last chapter of The Contract was like that, I wrote it one way... but realized I had written fine good scene but not one that fit my story. So I had to edit a lot of it until it came to a place I felt like was going to actually build to what I want it to be, to where the story needs to get to.

But usually, the organic stuff is what makes writing fun sometimes. In a way, even though I know the ending, I don't always know how we're exactly going to get there. It can be stressful when you wished you set up something earlier or wish you didn't make a promise in chapter 1 that you no longer, like... want to fulfill. But I think TV shows have the same pain, it's just part of writing for something that you have to publish part of before you've actually written the whole thing.

Hope that helps somewhat smiley Or maybe it was just cathartic for me to write smiley

For me, the scenario always come first - I'll get some idea of oh, hey, this would be pretty cool to write about - it'll probably be a fleeting glimmer of arousal from something entirely unrelated that I'll make a note of and develop into something writable later. I have a couple on my phone right now.

I do a lot of writing elsewhere and for me the scenario/situation/core concept always comes first. I know writers who focus on characters, and writers who will write a whole thing just to set up a funny line they thought of, and there's no wrong approach - just different ways of enjoying it.

One thing I don't want, personally, is long plots with highly-developed characters, and I see so many of those that honestly it's gotten to the point where if I see a story where the main character is even named, I just skip it. If I wanted to read an actual story with character development and the like, I'd look elsewhere - the chance of a writer being really good at both actual story stuff and feederism stuff is super slim. (But maybe that's why I've not yet been able to get into rp.)

I write in the first and second person so neither me nor the reader get bogged down in unnecessary stuff like character details. It's always about what happens and what situation the characters end up in - it's just about the feederism stuff. That way I don't really end up with a plot, but more of an explanation for how this crazy situation I've come up with can develop from the reader's assumed starting point.

Usually it’s a basic premise first.
With some stories it’s just a fantasy about a particular person. Sometimes it’s based off a real relationship but I take it to a dark place that it couldn’t go in real life.

My favourite stories are ones that take an idea for how a fattening could happen and take it through to its logical conclusion.

girlcrisis:
Thanks for the reply. To be honest I'd never stumbled across any of your writing before so I'm having a nice time working my way through your stories.

I do feel like this website's very limited criteria for "quality" is very skewed towards very long stories posted in multiple parts while shorter stories (which tend to be the pure feedist smut/erotica) sink very quickly.

Funnily enough that's one of the reasons I've since moved my writing to tumblr (which is why I don't have a lot of writing on my profile). It's nice to post on FF and know that for a few hours your story is on top of the world, but it doesn't last long. Posting on tumblr can feel like yelling into a void sometimes, but so long as someone's reblogging, your work is always relevant. I find it a lot more validating.

If you were interested in seeing more of my stuff, I'm yourfattestcow (yourfattestcow.tumblr.com), but my blog is marked explicit even though there's no pictures on it so you might have an easier time looking through the 'by yours truly' tag on tumbex (tumbex.com/yourfattestcow.tumblr/posts)

I do feel like a bit of character development can heighten things if the story has a shame/humiliation theme (which tbh is very much My Thing)

I guess there's a use case for it. It's definitely a skill to be able to write a long-form, relatively mundane plot, but still make it both interesting and hot. You make a good point about the parts of this kink that are rooted in character requiring character development to work well - that's not something I'd considered. More power to you, if you're blessed with that skill. I guess I have some reading to do.

Most of my stories start out as a fantasy/daydream. I usually start writing with a basic plot in mind from that fantasy/daydream. I usually name the characters as I write. I do find it important to me and my potential readers that the story gets write to the point. I introduce my characters and a weigh I go with the story.

Been a while since I've written much, especially on FF, but I'm trying to get back into it. I tend to start with the scenario and work from there. Though, in some cases--Out of the Moonlight, for instance--I'll have some sort of weird structure or narrative trick that I'm trying explore, with varying levels of success...

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, tbh the forum software just pissed me off when I was trying to quote you so I guess I took my time giving it another go. Here's hoping this turns out better.

girlcrisis:
Thanks for the very thoughtful reply, LitMistress. Would you ever post any one shots or is there a reason why you prefer to post longer stories with a plot and some form of overarching meaning? Just curious because I enjoy reading a lot of one shots and stories that don't go beyond well written smut but find that sort of thing difficult to write myself. Most of my stories either start with a scenario or a weight gain story trope that I'd like to put my own twist on but find it impossible to proceed without a sense of who the characters are as for me this informs the power dynamic between the main characters and where the main conflict/tension of the plot comes from.

I guess it's just human nature to admire/envy people who have skills that you lack but over time I've stopped feeling deprived of being a more prolific pure smut peddler and just leaned into being more character focused. I've definitely found it's been a benefit of getting back into writing after a long hiatus that it's not that difficult to pick up stories where they were left off because it's fairly easy to slip back into characters and in a way they "tell me" what's going to happen next.


I probably won't post any one shots because they aren't the kind of content I'm interested in reading nor that I'm good at writing! I tend to not even start reading anything that's shorter than 10 chapters, though I prefer longer.

I'm a big fan of romance novels going back to when I was a tween; I loved YA romance before I even read about sex. I pull a lot from that love when I write, and I find the sex scenes more fulfilling when they were built up to with a good story and are between two people who have a meaningful relationship.

Additionally, my favorite part of the kink is hedonism. I don't actually like humiliation, which I fear is obvious when I write but I try to add it in because I know people like it. Sometimes I do it well, sometimes it comes off more drama then, like, sexy I guess. But anyway, hedonism plays in VERY well with romance. It just falls right in with finding someone who really loves you for who you are, who encourages you to indulge in what makes you happy no matter what others think. I enjoy writing characters who know what their love interest wants before the love interest does... it's a fun dynamic.

This isn't to say I don't think there is merit to shorter pieces, I just think that my "brand" (if you will) is basically romance novels with characters interested in feederism. I mean, I feel like you could even argue my stuff is almost not smut at times. That doesn't bother me at all, I'd prefer to write romance. If people like shorts, I think there are many wonderful writers that are fantastically talented at writing them. And if they like longer, more thought out works, I hope they try mine.

girlcrisis:
Ah yeah, Dream Dungeon was a great story. Hopefully you'll find the time and mental/life space to finish it. Just wondering what's the most unexpected way one of your stories has changed during the writing process?


Actually, the one that changed the most was Dream Dungeon. It WAS supposed to be a shorter piece. Originally, I saw it as about 4 chapters where Jess falls prey to The Mistress and once The Mistress is done with her, she moves on to the next victim. But then the idea for the rest of the story struck me after the second chapter and I got really excited to write it. It went from just a fall into hedonism to a more dynamic story that, for me, was way more compelling.

I think that explains why I don't write shorts, also. I get too carried away with story when I try!

I pick one moment or scene I wanna see, then justify a story around it.

Sometimes? Writing's elusive and fun and strange.

I almost always start with a scenario. I get some idea that really tickles me and I have to bring it to life.

If it's a longer story, I'll map out the plot, really loosely. It's usually a keyword or a single scene I want to happen. As I write, I'll get ideas and I'll add quick notes to the outline.

I rarely plan characters. I prefer to let them introduce themselves to me and surprise me.

I only posted one story here, which is almost complete, but I have several ideas and I'm working on a second one now. Everyone has a unique way of doing it, I plan ahead, I already know the chapters I'm making and what I want to say in each of them then I just write them. I use the Novelist app, it helps a lot in organising the process.

Edit: I should add, altough I obviously write about what I enjoy, I try to think about what others might enjoy and try to also add it, that way it can be enjoyed by more people. I also find that keeping things somewhat vague, in descriptions of scenes, people's appearance and such, helps because it leaves room for the reader to insert his imagination into the story
