Dilemma

You’re an adult and not hurting anyone. Do what makes you happy (including losing weight if it makes you more comfortable)

Self publishing v earning stories

Mrman1980uk:
I am intrigued. Is there currently any feedist literature on Amazon?

Letters And Numbers:
There’s quite a bit. Some of it cross-pollinates with sites like this one.

Also, I started an earnings account a few days ago and I’m pretty impressed so far. I didn’t have super high expectations but it’s been good.

Mrman1980uk:
Interesting. This stuff is more mainstream than I had imagined. Do you have links to any of this?

Letters And Numbers:
So just as an example, Saxitlurg posts stories here and cross posts on amazon: amazon.com/dp/B0C7WK4SRY

If you scroll down you’ll find similar authors.

Mrman1980uk:
Very interesting. Those have all been published in the last few months. Is this a recent phenomenon?

Letters And Numbers:
I doubt it. WG erotica has been around for a long time. Amazons algorithm is showing you what it thinks you want to see and weighing more recent additions.

Mrman1980uk:
You are right - searching a little found some dating back to 2019 or so. Most interesting.

Letters And Numbers:
Yeah, I mostly see short stories and some short story collections, which seem expensive unless you have Kindle Unlimited. I’m debating posting a 400 page novel there but I don’t know how it would sell.

Mrman1980uk:
A 400 page erotic novel on the theme of feedism? Goodness me - that's quite the endeavour!

May I ask what it is about? Obviously, only the sort of information that you would find in the blurb - I'm not asking you to give anything away.

Letters And Numbers:
Sure! I have a 6 chapter preview up and the whole thing premium in My Stories. It’s more or as much new adult/coming of age contemporary fiction than weight gain erotica, but it’s about sisters living on their own who escaped a pretty messed up family and deal with conflicting body image issues, relationships, and work towards a new start. It’s first person and incorporates some dreamy/psychedelic/magical realism imagery. People on the site have been super complimentary and supportive and helped a ton to get it where it is. It was a great experience birthing it on a collaborative website like this and getting input from so many different people. I’m very humbled by the whole experience.

Mrman1980uk:
Ohh, that one! I think that I might have read the first few chapters of that. That was quite nicely done.


Thank you! It’s a very different story once you get past the first act. Some people like it better, some don’t.

What does blocking actually do?

Canderson206:
I'm saying I can see their posts everywhere, whether they're quoted or not.

It just seems like blocking someone should make their profile and commentary invisible, not just prevent them from sending a DM.


Well, apologies if you tried to block me. I'll be more quiet!

What does blocking actually do?

Canderson206:
There are some members of this community whose commentary and forum posts I do not wish to see. I blocked them as a result.

I can still see their commentary.

This seems antithetical to the way the concept of "blocking" is supposed to work on most social media platforms. Is something broken, or am I misunderstanding how the concept of "blocking" works on this website?

Are you saying you can still see them when other users quote them? On this site, I thought blocking primarily stopped them from direct messaging you, which is useful.

I’m in sort of the same boat as you, and a little intimidated by self publishing, but I don’t think it’s actually that intimidating. FF is nice in that there is all sorts of flexibility here and it has a very focused audience. But there’s just way more people who buy books on Amazon or Smashwords. You don’t necessarily need to do one or the other, though, unless (someone correct me if I’m wrong) you’re signed up through Kindle Unlimited, in which case they have an exclusivity contract that limits where your work is made available.
