Got a short one. Just a romantic scene over the holidays with a newlywed couple getting snowed in. Nothing too fancy, nothing too spicy. Hope you enjoy it.

The year's not over yet! It would be great to see a few more if anyone has a story to tell. All are welcome!

How do i edit or delete a forum post?

BigBellyBurgerBoy1:
I just need to figure out how to delete or edit a post I put in a forum.


At the bottom right hand side of the post, look for 3 icons. The pencil is edit, the camera adds photos, the trash can is delete. See if that works.

Is it appropriate to save beverage videos under food?

Max Stout:
Thank you for the reply, and I will be happy to do my best to better explain.
Both my "drink under the 'Food' category" and "food under the 'Food' category" posts were gone within minutes of having been originally posted there.
You can think of the posts as "before/during" (the upper two) and "after" (the lower pic).
*Boom* my posts were promptly gone, with what had been the following posts having moved back up to the top of the 'Food' category search results queue.


Yeah, that’s really weird. There are several recent “food” tagged pics that don’t show up in the list when you filter for them, it’s not just yours. The pics are there and you can see them if you don’t use the filters, but it definitely seems odd. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I’ll try to get more information on what’s going on.

Is it appropriate to save beverage videos under food?

Beverage pics/videos can go under the food tag. Can you explain what I’m looking at in the picture you linked? I don’t know if I get it.

Depression and antidepressants

Nofbar:
Now and then I see posts here about which antidepressants cause the most weight gain. That's great, but it ignores the primary purpose of antidepressants. Could I get a conversation going about combating depression? I don't want to be depressed. If an antidepressant causes me to gain a lot of weight, that's great, but I'd like to hear from people about what meds actually helped beat back depression.


Talk to your doctor. 1) even the people on the site who have a lot of knowledge about medicine don’t have access to your chart. 2) it’s just a very individual, trial and error thing. Even if you get advice, you need to see how meds work with your individual brain chemistry, which isn’t going to be like anyone else’s.

I’d also say that most modern antidepressants cause very negligible weight gain, if any.

Disabling comments on photos + ability to edit captions

LoraDayton:
I don't want comments on my photos or videos. Ever. From anyone. I would like the option to disable these entirely.

Plus the ability to edit the caption would be very helpful. Some are just outdated, and I don't want to re-upload the photo.


Just speaking as a user, I like both of those ideas a lot.

Venting on weight loss

JayDee303:
I intentionally made some dietary changes that led to some unintentional weight loss. I was happy with myself bigger but needed to do it for health reasons which have been successfully mitigated.

I have been bothered by well-intentioned people commenting on my weight loss. The biggest annoyances have been people that vastly overestimate how much weight I lost and people asking probing questions about my diet and exercise habits. Some of if has made me want to fatten myself up out of spite, but instead I have decided to focus on the positives and stay the course.

The positives:

1. My wife has been mostly indifferent to my weight loss and is frustrated by my dietary restrictions. It is comforting as she is the only person outside of myself that I care how they feel about my body and loves me the same when I am smaller and bigger. My diet is mine alone and I don't ask her to go along with me, and if anything, there have been more snacks for her laying around since I am not helping her eat them, of which I am enjoying the results.

2. I have taken opportunities to explicitly state that I liked myself bigger and the weight loss was just a side effect to shut down some of the more anti-fat unsolicited comments.

3. There have been a few people that been able praise my stewardship of my health while lamenting the loss of my former frame and enjoyment of food. I am thankful for their understanding of my choices and separation of the two issues.

4. While I have no intention of purposefully regaining all of the weight I lost, I do have plans to continue to modify my diet and some slight weight gain is expected - both muscle and fat.


Congrats on your health journey. This is a great place to vent about your frustrations cause I think everyone can understand to one degree or another, but like you said, your health comes first. You wouldn’t have done the hard things otherwise.

But we just live in a world where everyone is expected to be proud of themselves when they lose weight and expected to enjoy talking about it endlessly to anyone who asks. In reality, not everyone is thrilled to lose weight for a bunch of different reasons and most people are happy to keep that stuff private even if they are happy with it. Maybe having a few good subject-changers on hand when you bump into people you haven’t seen in a while would be helpful.

Requests/suggestions/ideas

I’m going to move this to the story authors forum if you don’t mind. It probably fits there much better.

In general, though, I find when I get burned out on writing kinky stuff, it often helps to do something completely different for a little while: try a different fiction genre or poetry or something memoirish. Even just doing a few prompt exercises can be good for working out different muscles.

I have a small group with some folks from here and other friendly types, I try to do different kinds of exercises like that. If you’d like to join, let me know.

Theme of the month - december


Time for something new to write about. I figured we'd make it simple and do a holiday story for December. Doesn't have to be Christmas or Hanukkah, doesn't even have to be a winter holiday. Make it up, play with the idea, or do something about getting stuffed by the Christmas tree -- sky's the limit.

As always, under 5,000 words is a nice target, but write whatever feels good.

If you're going to participate, please post in the thread and link to the story so people can read it and give feedback. Please keep critiques constructive, but please do critique! You all write amazing stuff and it's important to be recognized.

If you feel stuck and want to brainstorm, feel free to use the thread to chat.

The rules of the event are the same as always:

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: marykole.com/constructive-criticism

Happy writing and happy holidays!
