Thanks. This is the screen I cannot find. Haha.

Hi. I cannot remember how to add a chapter to my stories! Please can somebody send me an idiot guide.

Thanks

Thanks - I have uploaded the first few chapters on DeviantArt. Feedback would be appreciated/

I have posted the first chapter of my story on DeviantArt as it breaks the guidelines here.

This is the opening chapter of a long story, following the protagonist for twelve years. She is 11 when the story starts, but I want to make it clear that there is nothing sexual about the story and there will not be until she is over 16 (Age of consent in UK) and has a strong relationship with her boyfriend. Even then, there will be no graphic descriptions. This story focuses on Emily growing up in the family she always saw as loving and protective, until it wasn't.

Thanks for the pointer.

Thanks for that perspective - I did not even think about it this way

Word count is currently 46,317. Dam! you're good!

Thanks for your response. I fully understand your point here and it is the reason I asked the question. I am torn because I guess that like a lot people here, I first discovered my fascination with feeding and fattening reading Hansel and Gretel as a child. And that is a story about kids who are going to be fattened and slaughtered, but it is not a sexual story. It is a very fine line. I recognise that a lot of he rewrites on here make them older teens and young adults though.

I am arguing both sides with myself here. Haha.

Yes - There are some stories I would love to reread, but I cannot find them again and the title search does not always bring them up (Or I have not remembered the name properly!)

Hey guys. I am shit! I have been away for a long time and I know that I have GOT to finish two of my older stories. I think they are from 6 years ago. I promise I will do this.

HOWEVER, the reason for this post is that I have just completed a draft of a new story. It was supposed to be about a realistic gaining over time, but it sort of grew (as we do! haha!) into pretty much a Novella. So before I post it, I would like some feedback. There is no rush as it needs tidying up.

Points I would like feedback on:

1. Size - The story is currently 87 pages long! Is this too much?

2. I know some people want to read weight gain stories for "gratification" but this story is not written in that way. There are some references to stuffing and overfeeding, but as the story has evolved, they have become background scenes as I explored the main character's arc. I don't really think I can honestly say that this is a weight gain story as much as a story of somebody who got fat. If that makes sense?

3. It follows the main protagonist for about 12 years, I am going to say again that this is not a "gratification" story as when it starts, she is 11 years old, but the real weight gain does not start until she is about 14 and the main story takes place between 16 - 18 with a couple of "epilogue" chapters aged 21 and 23. I don't want to cross any lines regarding minors here, and I repeat, there is nothing sexual or fetishised about her gain especially when she is younger. It is more about a few chapters setting the scene.
(I did read a story on Deviant Art where the protagonist was 10 and it was weird and not enjoyable! I have purposely avoided going into details in her younger years.)

4. I have actually sort of fallen in love with my own main character. Haha. Have other writers had this experience? I am not sure if it is a good or bad thing because on one side, I want to give her a story that she deserves, but on the other hand, I don't know if it weakens my writing as I want to "protect" her. (I hope that makes sense to other writers and I am not having some sort of breakdown!)

All responses are appreciated.

Thank you
