Reality and fiction.
First the legal issue. The play by the Swedish playwright Lars Noren was played by university students at the Belgian university of Gent in 1981. It was and is under Belgian law completely legal, as it was in Sweden and as it was in Holland. You are legally a minor until you reach the age of 16 years there.
And it still is as a work of art. The example was ment to show that in fiction a convincing way of telling the story is important. Noren made his point in the dialogue between the two actors.

It is not about me or my partners sexual preferences in real life. There is the difference between doing something and writing about something. Writing about vanilla tends to be boring as writing about certain variants of BDSM can be.
The only thing i want is helping people to write better stories that others can enjoy.
Nothing more and nothing less.

Munchies:
I notice a lot of feedees and gainers on this site don't want to gain unless they have someone to gain for. I get why. Having someone to love and support you through your changes is lovely.

Unfortunately, changing your body to please someone else never ends well. It's nice to have someone who loves they way you look, but ultimately, you should only do it for your own happiness.

DMVGrower:
That is a good point. For me and maybe others it is more like, it is something I want, to gain that is. But I also want a relationship and this state of mind is not a common one. I mean I am sure it is more common than one thinks but feederism/gaining is certainly rare. So it is sort of like a bet hedge in a way, like sure I can start gaining and keep going and maybe never find someone because of the majority of people being disgusted with my size. Or I can keep the weight down and find someone who isn't into it and just sort of store the fetish in the back of my mind forever.

So that brings us to finding someone into it, now I already want to gain, and now I found someone who also wants me to gain? Jackpot!

I fully agree that most fetish stories are not well written and sometimes frankly boring.
But it is better than vanilla. That is for making babies.
Writing is like all other forms of art. It takes some talent and a lot of practice.
It is like music. You have to learn to play your instrument and understand the basics.
You can find the basics on the internet and a first year course in language and literature will do.
We can share tips and tricks. We can read each others short stories (novels take too much time to comment) and give feedback.
We can share scenario's and real life situations which you can use. Like Celia does when she tells us about Piggies binging.
One of the things that would make the story more interesting would be hearing Piggies perspective. The story told from her side.

Take spanking stories.
Most of them focus on the hitting and the effect. That makes them boring
There is very little or no information on the interaction between the persons involved.
My partner and I were once in Belgium for more than forty years.
Some student colleagues of us played a scene from the a Swedish play.
It went als follows.
Mother was drunk, and could not handle her 16 year old. Mother decided to spank her daughter.
The daughter didn’t bother, took the over the knee position. Daughter gets one or to slaps on her butt. Mother says: What a nice big butt you have. Let’s fatten you up a little and you well have lots of rich menn to choose from.

My partner and I both remember the scene after more than 40 years.

In short, what we could do is reading each others stories, share idea’s and scenario’s and so on.
We will see what’s helpful and what’s not.

Letters And Numbers:
Is there any appetite here for a thread to get into more in-depth constructive criticism of some of the stories here? I was reading the comments of a story today that had a critique and it seemed to me that this might be a more organized format for technical criticism like that.

Could also just take a book club format where we all read one short story a week or longer story a month?

Any interest?

Munchies:
This looks interesting in theory. The downside, however, is that most fetish stories aren't good.

I'm not talking about the kink aspect of it. I believe that you can write about any subject matter and make it good. I'm talking about the hordes of poorly written stories on FF, DA, Dimensions, etc.

Letters And Numbers:
So there are the hordes for sure, but there are also some really great writers as well (here, and on the other sites) who choose to *also* write erotica instead of *only* writing it. Some of those stories could be more fun to read critically. And there are also authors who honestly might want to improve, even if all they want to do is write a better sexy story?

Spike:
I am asexual.
I am in the feedism communities as i model and maybe one day someone will feed me so i wont starve I also have a triple belly and that is unique so i felt it would add to the feedism community.

So yes, there are other aces that are "into" feedism. It is just not sexual for me. If I were full for once it would be nice ROFL . Other than that I just have a hobby of taking pics with the lipedema body I was given .

I want to add in that if you are sexual to a kink, that is your kink, i would not classify that as asexual as you can still get horny and sexual... youre just focused on a kink. a fetish. Asexual is the lack of sexuality XD It's like how some people cant get it up unless its bdsm, etc. Its a kink.

Eatingbi:
Hi, I have a female friend who recently discovered she was a feedee/gainer and waiting to gain. She is currently 253 and wanting moreto Initially gain to 300 and possibly more later. The thing is she is diabetic type 2 with insulin/other meds, and trying to best avoid carbs to control her blood glucose better. She is having trouble gain and has been losing a little weight because of it; we are also kinda on a budget. Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions would be great. Thank you!

Missjanie:
That’s totally fair, I’ve been stuck at 260-265 for months now no resolve

Spike:
i survive on less than 20$ a month.
Mcdonalds used to have recipts where you can get a free burger, you can buy pasta roni and tings in bulk for under a dollar, i can get 40lbs of chicken from the farm for 40-60$ . etc.
There ARE ways and do not let anyone say there is not.
Not everyone makes money, some of us have disabilities and are poor.
