None of us need to assume this story is real, either. We can all go on with our lives without fighting over a fake story.

Not sure if this answers your question, but there are 3 kinds of upgrades.

-The Fantasy upgrade unlocks premium stories, pics, and videos.

-You can also subscribe to a specific content creator to get access to only their premium content, usually at a much cheaper rate than the full Fantasy Upgrade.

-The Social upgrade gives unlimited messaging, chats, etc...

So if you only bought the Social upgrade, it wouldn't give the story access. Or if you bought an individual author upgrade, that only unlocks that author's material (at a price set by the author).

Do you think either of those situations might be what's going on?

Sorry it’s been so long without an event, but maybe that means some folks have some ideas stored up.

A really open-ended one this time:

Write about a character trying an unusual food (or trying something for the first time).

The food can be real or fictitious, and what happens afterwards is entirely up to the author.

As always, under 5,000 words is a nice target, but write whatever feels good.

If you're going to participate, please post in the thread and link to the story so people can read it and give feedback. Please keep critiques constructive, but please do critique! You all write amazing stuff and it's important to be recognized.

If you feel stuck and want to brainstorm, feel free to use the thread to chat.

The rules of the event are the same as always:

1) In addition to being about weight gain or body positivity, stay on the monthly theme, which should be easy because the topics will be very wide and open to interpretation.
2) Try to stick to something under 5,000 words, but if the muse overtakes you, that's great, too!
3) Post in the thread! Let us know if you're playing, have questions, want to chat, and when you have a story to share. Post a link!
4) Just like with all the stories on this site, zero characterizations of minors are allowed. Hate and bigotry have no place in this event.
5) Feedback by authors and readers is very welcome, but keep it constructive. All different skill levels of writers are encouraged to participate, so I ask everyone to be helpful and encouraging. If you've never given (or received) constructive criticism for creative writing before, here's a short essay that could be helpful: marykole.com/constructive-criticism

Happy writing!

I’m going to move this to the tech support forum
