Ironically, the best way to decrease a fast metabolism is just as confusing as increasing a slow one. You want to slowly decrease calorie intake, something like 50 calories/week. The body will tend to adjust its metabolism rather than change weight when calorie change is that low. When daily intake is low enough, it will become much easier to gain by remaining relatively sedentary and eating a large calorie surplus, ideally in the thousands. When you plateau, you can do it again. This is somewhat similar to yo-yo dieting, or dieting to gain, but maybe easier and more effective, I don't know. As for the foods, as they said above, heavy cream and high-fat dairy is generally best, especially since you can dress it to be either savory or sweet, and it tends to cause healthier fat that fructose and carbs. Still not great for cholesterol though I think.

Not really, but I do recognize the unrealistic nature of its most extreme aspects. To be happy life (imho) requires moderating fantasies with facts to create realistic expectations.
Fact: It's generally less healthy for a 5'2 woman to be 400lbs than 150lbs.
Fact: Society is a bitch and our culture involves a lot of inherent fat shaming right now.
Fact: I want other things out of life besides just a fat partner.
Reality: Finding a partner into the same fantasies but open to role playing together is probably a much better jumping off point for having an overall fulfilling (and long) life.

I could care less about #1, but the other 4 are great suggestions (though I've had issues with the minimum character limit as much as the maximum lol)

How are stories selected/permitted to be made into audio?

That all said though, it might not be a bad idea to have a different set of filter options for properly subscribed members, such as an option to ignore what content is premium rather than having it overwhelm the front pages. I mean, my understanding is that premium content only gets paid if an unsubscribed member subscribes in order to view it. What then is the point of advertising it to already-subscribed members?

Not only is $10 a month a horrible deal for people who only come here for stories, but now half or more of the front page of Stories is premium content. Please fix this.
To support one of the most genre-centric and open sites out there, paying less than you do for Hulu hardly seems like an over-ask. I'd take this over Hulu any day lol. Wish there was a way to open this genre up to be more mainstream, but for now we have to support it ourselves, or else see it die.

As I said, no critique. It takes work to maintain a website and people like to be paid for their work.
I assume FF has gone to the current model because advertising revenue has not be sufficient.
There are few advertisers interested in a site like this, unfortunately, and I personally wouldn't want the intensely obnoxious ads that most major porn sites have up. The best they could do here would be to go Zuckerberg, and I'd rather not have them selling information to make ends meet. lol
