New month, new theme. I'm so grateful for all of the enthusiasm and participation last month, I really think it was a big success and we delivered some great writing! If you were working on a story and didn't quite finish it in time, just post it anyways! Don't throw it away just because the month is over.

That being said, the rules of the event are the same:

1) In addition to being about weight gain or body positivity, stay on the monthly theme, which should be easy because the topics will be very wide and open to interpretation.
2) Try to stick to something under 5,000 words, but if the muse overtakes you, that's great, too!
3) Post in the thread! Let us know if you're playing, have questions, want to chat, and when you have a story to share. Post a link!
4) Just like with all the stories on this site, zero characterizations of minors are allowed. Hate and bigotry have no place in this event.
5) Feedback by authors and readers is very welcome, but keep it constructive. All different skill levels of writers are encouraged to participate, so I ask everyone to be helpful and encouraging. If you've never given (or received) constructive criticism for creative writing before, here's a short essay that could be helpful: www.marykole.com/constructive-criticism



So with that out of the way, the THEME OF THIS MONTH IS:



➡️ Freedom ⬅️


A very open ended theme that could mean different things to different people. Use the thread if you have questions or you can always reach out to me direct.


Ok, start writing, and remember as these stories start to roll out, leave likes and comments if you enjoy them!

I’ll put one up tomorrow!

You win the buzzer beater award! Awesome story, I really enjoyed the mood. Horror and space is a good combo, and the idea of AI keeping people skinny and luddites/rebels/the bad guys? getting fat is super interesting.

A big thank you to everyone for participating, this was super fun and everyone had an amazing original story to contribute. If you were working on something but missed the end of the month, just post it when you’re finished! Bump this thread so we can check it out.

It’s officially April, do we want to do a new prompt for the month, or go back and constructively critique the submissions from March?

You go to My Stories under the hamburger menu, then find the story you want to publish, and hit the EDIT button under the story description. On the next page, in the upper right, should be a button that says PUBLISH.

If it’s in draft form you need to publish it in order to have it visible to everyone.

It’s possible that it violated site rules and was taken down.

Well, if you left it unfinished it would hardly be the only unfinished story out there. But you could unpublish it, which would take it out of the visible stories without deleting it and allow you to come back to it later if you wanted. Or, you could change the purpose behind the story and try to finish it in a different direction. Not every story needs to be smut, even when you’re talking about kink stories. If that’s your roadblock, try a different route.

Freeze them and defrost when you need them.

(Or invite people over for cookouts)

I can see one story of yours called Eddie The Fat that was published 2 years ago. Is that the one or is there another?

Yeah, it’s really incredible
