Anyone who dismisses you telling you to write easy fap material can gtfo as far as I'm concerned. Sure, does it do the job sometimes? Of course. But there is a way to tap into what is both pleasing and enriching.

When it comes to giving the character "something else to do," what you need is a conflict. If it's your first weight gain story, it doesn't have to be anything complicated. It can be a romantic partner, a promotion, or a prize. Give them something to want and then do everything you can to not let them have it.

The rest will fall into place along the journey.

Because it's not another person's job to make you happy and if a person is only able to satisfy you by actually changing their body to meet your standards, it's the body that matters more, not the person occupying it.

If a person's status as a gainer ultimately matters more than anything else, it's not a partner you want: it's an object.

Thank you for the clarification!

I absolutely love and cosign this whole thread.

I'm not sure exactly if this is against the rules or not, but is it okay to include a brief (like, one-line) call-to-action on either a free or premium story? I generally have a feeling the answer is no but it never hurts to ask!

I only have a few stories up; however, one I have wanted to write a longer version of and I am finally getting around to it (Cuffing Season). This and another story I am working on, I intend to package up and put on Amazon KDP and also my deviantart account.

However; obviously, we have the premium content feature here. In short, I'd like to have the stories available on all platforms.

If I added the subsequent parts of Cuffing Season, I would add them as premium in addition to the KDP book (which may be further expanded) and I am thinking of doing the same for the other story I am working on now. First chapter is free; the rest is premium FF content.

Is it against the rules if I were to include a CTA on these? Something simple like "If you would like to read more, additional chapters are available as premium content or also on these other platforms," Or should I just stick to mentioning my work is also available on amazon/da in my profile? I hope this makes sense.

I hate constantly promoting myself so this is about as much as I would put into it; I am far more interested in the social aspect of this place but wouldn't mind having a little bit of a boost for visibility.

Thanks!

I think I've commented on this one before; either way, I really like this scale. I'm a 4 but most clothes drape fairly well on me and so I just look thick most of the time but I also avoid certain cuts.

It'd be cool if something like this could be implemented instead of or in addition to our weights listed on our profiles!

In my experience, and from what I understand, that is pretty normal honestly. In most cases that's basically one pant size in the US. The effect gets harder on you when it's around 10% of whatever your current weight is. So if your normal weight is 250 lb, a fluctuation of 25 lb either way on a consistent basis is what's pretty hard on you. Of course 10 to 15 lb would be more impactful if you were smaller size.
