Read these stories a while ago, actually! I enjoyed the writing style and the pacing. Bcain always does a good job bringing a fun and compelling narrative voice to concepts we didn't know we wanted to read, until they wrote it and we're like, "Yeah, that is some big-brained thinking".
I attended a writing workshop once in which we were introduced to the idea of "high concept" as a genre and I think a lot of this author's work falls there...feedist edition.
Personally I enjoyed the poetic justice of it all. Phenomenal job!

It's Just Bloating by Generic725 is complete and great if you like a slow-burn weight gain. There are a few stuffing/binge scenes but overall I think the gain is pretty realistically distributed over the course of the plot, which of itself is riveting.
Another great on is The Sacred Ritual by gain234, which veers into XWG territory by the end but the progression is so natural that by that point it feels right.

I'd love to see more speculative fiction starring feedees and gainers. Also, more dominant feedees and fat characters!

Thanks for the reads and comments so far, y'all! I agree, it's definitely not my tightest piece...but it's the only one where no one dies. (Usually I only kill my villains but I still figured something like B&B would be too unsettling for general feedist audiences in a setting like this.)
Initially I was a little worried about preserving Aaron's autonomy; I hope Alyssa's regular check-ins and communication with his family establish that she does respect him. I wanted them to be a couple doing the best they can despite...well, everything.

I think a lot of the problem with the stories like this that are already out there is that they're framed through the lens of "wouldn't it be sexy if..." and then proceed to forget that imposing an arbitrary appearance standard, gendered or otherwise, is inherently oppressive.
What might be refreshing is to read a story that explores the sentiment of "I get why holding everyone of a certain gender to a weight based expectation is sketchy even if I, the reader/protagonist, find the results attractive," or, better yet, "Even though I belong to the group that's supposed to be thin/the feeder, I'd rather be fat/the feedee".

I'm down to contribute if this happens! Might I suggest creating a Discord server for organization purposes and bouncing of ideas?

Me, zapping myself in the past to 10 years ago: yeah you know that cute feedee boy who keeps messaging you? He's the one. Marry him right now and save yourself a lot of trouble.

There are many ways to describe a gaining character's body/body parts even if you don't know what their exact measurements would be.
For example: you could get into the size and position of her body parts with relation to one another. Obviously, the gain won't affect her skeleton, but perhaps after gaining 400+ pounds, unless she's very tall, her upper arms have begun to roll over her elbows in the back and her wrists crease where they meet her hands?
Think also about what she can and can no longer wear at her new size. The number 1 complaint I hear about plus size clothing is that many lines don't account that fat bodies are simply shaped differently than thin ones, and end up just scaling up the patterns of straight size clothing rather than factor in the fact that fat women have curves and bulges in places where thin ones are more or less straight up and down. Perhaps she notices she has difficulty finding tops and jackets with sleeves that don't cut into her arms and needs to shop around more than she used to before picking out her next top? She'll probably also have to get her rings and wrist jewelry custom sized.
You might also make mention of what she can and can no longer do at her new weight. Can she still reach her back to scratch an itch, or reach every part of herself with her hands in the shower? Or does she employ the use of a back scratcher/loofah on a stick, or perhaps her partner assists her?
Are her fingers still small enough to type on her phone, or has she had to switch to the use of a stylus pen?
And that's just the physical details. It would be exciting to read a story with such a dramatic gain and the character's (hopefully embracing) exploration of her new body and the life changes that come of it.
Of course, you can always pick up a measuring tape if you want to use it to simulate her exact dimensions in 3D space.
I hope some of this has been helpful! Happy writing!
