Fatthorishot:
Hey all. I’ve been working on several stories and I’d like to try to hustle them a bit. I’m wondering what folks tend to make as earning authors versus self publishing on Amazon or Patreon etc. any thoughts?
I do both. I haven’t published anything on KDP in a while but I still get a couple reads a day. The money from Kindle Unlimited takes a long time to add up. I’m planning on publishing some of my feedist works and going wide (lol) on SW, Amazon and paywalling it here. There are advantages to being the walled garden of Amazon, but a lot of drawbacks too. They can inactivate or ban your account and finding out why is very difficult.
The big advantage is that if you publish under KU, as a new/unknown author the risk for the reader of trying your stuff is minimal. They pay a monthly subscription and it’s easy to check out your stuff even if you’re an unknown quantity.
The subscriptions here on FF are bigger payouts individually, but fewer over the course of the month, in my very recent and limited experience.

Letters And Numbers:Welcome back to Story Club, and thanks to Stevita for our July story!
This month we have two complimentary stories to read, The Thief (male and female perspectives) by Bcain.
The tagline is: A thief chooses the wrong mark, with fattening consequences.
fantasyfeeder.com/stories/viewfantasyfeeder.com/stories/viewThank you, Bcain!
Munchies:Even though the stories are the same overall, I prefer the male one.
Some of it is because I like fat guys, but some of it is because I am sick and tired of the "skinny bitch becomes fat as payback" trope.
But that's just me.

Agreed and... is that a rose bride stirring that tea?

This is a great little one-shot I'd missed. I think it's kind of cute to have M/F versions of the story. The descriptions of their changing bodies is great! I'm so glad I read it.

Does anyone have stories where society is fat?
Munchies:
I have one called "Food Is Love". Could never figure out how to end it tho. I got COVID and lost all of my inspiration.

That one is great! Sorry that COVID did a number on you too.
I also love the Sims 4 thumbnail! 🤓

I have a horror based SSBHM story I’m working on. Goal is to make it a Lovecraftian screenplay.
Ooh, I can't wait to read that! I love fantasy, SF, and romance. I've seen a couple riffs on Regency romance that I thought were very cute. I'm toying with an SSBHM medieval fantasy and I'm a sucker for that setting.
I second (or third maybe?) more dominant feedees. More loving, supportive relationships (I'm a sap, what can I say). I like stories that have something more than just feedism -- tug on my heartstrings, please!

A wannabe feedee wakes up suddenly fat, with his girlfriend somehow in on his desires. A day of gluttony ensues.
I like the economy used in telling the story a lot. I feel like the emotional threads tied up by the end and the steamy moments were incredibly sweet and satisfying (the lipstick made me go AWWW out loud).

Oh sweet, thank you!

It looks like some of the information on this topic is a bit old, so I started a new thread. I'm finishing up a novella soon and plan on publishing it once it's ready. I'd love to find an artist who does SSBHM art and takes commissions for a tragically slim budget range. I know that limits my selection quite a bit, but I'd rather be upfront about it. I would not ever claim to "pay in exposure", that is just silly.
I've also got more of the Tiefling story ready once I finish this commission, and I'd like to find an artist for that too as I plan on publishing that upon completion as well.
Amateur fan art would also be welcome, haha, I am trying to draw my own characters with... limited success. The creativity is willing but the pen skills are weak.

I started publishing a weekly story before I had it all written -- woo ADHD impulsivity -- but once I have it done I'd like to PM folks!
