I'm a stuffing fanatic. You can do so many variations and it's great leftover fried in some butter.

I do own an editing and proofing business. Not so much a sell, just curious about the niche.

Ok. For stuff on here (which I haven’t written for in forever, sorry everyone), I have a couple super beta readers who I trust. They always give great insight, down to the line level.
For non-smut writing I’ve used it all: editors who make suggestions, editors who will just go in and change my stuff to fit, fully self-edited, you name it.
I’ve tried AI editing. It undeniably has some utility, but it’s limited and it makes mistakes. I can see it putting a lot of people out of work, though. That’s a lousy trade-off for the convenience of something that’s always on (although it’s not, really) and is cheap.
The sucky part right now, imo, is that we’re in a middle place where you can very easily hire an editor on Reedsy or Upwork, pay standard dev or line edit rates (not cheap at all on Reedsy), and get a deliverable that was produced with AI. So instead of paying $20 for a month of pro Claude, or whatever it costs, you shelled out $2000 for essentially the same thing. Or you’re always worried that you did. Weird times.
AI does have its used, and its limitations for sure. There is a lot of buzz around it in the editing community, as well as talk of the ethics around disclosing whether you use it and/or offer services without it.

Do any of the talented writers here (or published on other sites/in print) work with an editing team? Would you like to?

Have you considered writing, them working with a professional editor? Working with a ghostwriter? Yes, sensitive material but discretion is available.

I used to, until I grew a big gut. 🤣

I had a guy yell at me in the drive thru the other day "what are you ordering the whole menu?"
It was busy and there was a car in front of me, but I wonder if he would've said that 60 pounds ago?

I love hairy bellies, but I'm not down with the weener. This is why God made ftms for me. 😍🥵

About 5 years ago I began inflating and stuffing and since have put on about 40 lbs and am nearing my initial goal weight. I love being thicker, taking up space and playing with my sexy, jiggly belly.
Instead of being satisfied as I thought I'd be, my thoughts are turning to gaining more. Like close to doubling what I've already done more. I would be huge, and I'm not looking forward to the difficulties of outgrowing seatbelts and furniture among other things. But I'm wondering, does satisfaction ever come or will I always be wanting more?

Both. I want to be praised and told how good I am for cleaning my plate the measured and weighed and teased for what I've done to myself becoming such a fat bitch everything jiggles
