I love writing. Been writing a lot of fanfiction and now SSBHM feeder centric stories. My writing has improved considerably with the practice. I love to draw and used to be pretty good, but lack of practice for 5 years has really taken a toll on what I can produce.

Otherwise, I play video games and adore horror! I have a horror and sci-fi podcast that I typically do every Tuesday, though had to skip this past one because of things going on in my life and my co-host’s.

I’m in the planning stages of a Lovecraftian based horror screenplay. I have a fanfic that can easily be changed to having original characters and I may release that as a short horror story or submit to a contest.

I also have an original story I’ve been fleshing out for decades and am finally satisfied with the story and want to create a story bible then a pilot script. The pipe dream is to have it be an adult animated series. My Big Bad in it is a powerful SSBHM. 😝 But no one has to know about how that’s tied to my kink 👀

An artist I adore loved the story and characters so much that she drew me art for it. I can always post the character design of the fat villain as well as his Lovecraftian body horror form

What are some examples of stories with a character gaining weight that don't come off as fatphobic? In the writing world (and in every other world, for that matter), it's very rare when a story portrays someone gaining weight and it isn't a joke or a punishment, like being heavier is the worst thing somebody can be.

I'm writing a story where a witch character (well, witch adjacent), casts a spell on a mean girl to gain weight, eating things she would never eat before, in larger and larger quantities, until she gains more and more weight as a result. Now, by that premise alone, you could tell that fatphobia is baked into it from the start, but I believe there's a way to do it without it being so, but I'm just not sure how to do it.

For more context, the witch character herself is fat, a college student who gets bullied by the aforementioned mean girl (yes it happens in college too, not just high school), who stumbles upon witchcraft one day while doing research for a term paper, and (half) jokingly casts a spell on the mean girl to fatten her up. Oh, and the mean girl is the other " protagonist" of the story, so it's from both perspectives. They both learn some harsh lessons throughout the story, but come out of it wiser than before. At least, that's the idea.

What do you think? Can weight gain without fatphobia be done in a story, and done well? Can it work in a story like this? Let me know your thoughts, I'd love to hear some feedback on it.

I am an esports enjoyer, and I love history. I have been doing my own personal research and I'm contemplating writing my own article on a topic I really think needs covered!

I like to write fiction, and maybe some day can move that away from just being a hobby into something else, but for the time being it's much more on the hobby side of the ledger. Right now I'm working on a story for the new Fantasy Feeder anthology that comes out later this year, which I'm excited about (1st draft is almost done!). That's a historical story, so there was a bit of research that went into it. It's still a short story, so I won't say a *lot* of research, but I like things to be accurate.

I also have a new episodic story I posted a few chapters of here in the past few weeks that I'm pretty proud of, sort of a thriller/horror story, and a couple more feedist-type stories up my sleeve that I will probably share soon. And then I have some non-kink writing that I do, too.

AgaMcBees:
you should try your luck and try and get something published! I'd love to see some of your non-kink related writing. Always looking for a good read.

What's something good that happened to you today?
Getting off work early is my highlight.

Enas:
This is a simingly simple question but i have difficulty with answering it in a similarly simple manner. I dont think that good things are just an absence of bad things (ie. Getting off work early is not a good thing, but rather its a not-bad thing. Which is great and opens up the space for good things to happen but i dont think we should categorise it as a good thing itself). And i want to make that distinction between things that are not bad and things that are actually good! For example a hug is a good thing! A calm moment, in the sense of a moment that doesnt have rush, anxiety, horror etc, is not a good thing itself its only a not bad thing. People might look at it that way but thats only when they compare things. So its not very objective.
