February Release Schedule
🕑 Added 2022-01-25 16:22:48 +0000 UTCWell, well, well. Look who's back.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE SHIT SHOW RESUMES ON FEBRUARY FIRST. THE BILLING CYCLE RESUMES ON FEBRUARY FIRST. THE CONTENT RESUMES ON FEBRUARY SEVENTH. I KNOW THAT WHEN I WAS A YOUNG WARTHOG AND MONEY WAS TIGHT I'D OCCASIONALLY FORGET I WAS PATRONIZING A PAGE AND WAKE UP TO MY LAST $5 BEING TAKEN OUT OF MY ACCOUNT. SO I'D HAVE TO STEAL FOOD FROM THE GROCERY STORE I WORKED AT AT THE TIME. I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS EATING COOKIE DOUGH AND HUFFING WHIPPED CREAM CANS FOR DINNER SO PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
I am doing much better now. And I am very excited to get back to the grind. I appreciate you all being so patient and understanding.
I started a story called Dusk in December. As Army Wives approaches its conclusion, I've been bracing myself for a steep drop-off in subscribers. I feel like that story is my biggest draw right now. I was very, VERY, nervous that that story would never catch on and I'm very grateful that it has. But I feel like once that story's over there's gonna be little incentive for anyone to stick around. Maybe that's me being crazy, maybe it's me being objective, I don't know.
But with slow burn stories, it takes a while to build momentum and get people's attention. So with Dusk, my intention was to take advantage of the momentum of Army Wives while also building up my next slow burn. That way, when AW wraps up, Dusk will be picking up speed, and I won't hemorrhage pledges. My slow burn, character driven, darker stuff SEEMS like the kinda stuff most people want to see from me.
But some of you have expressed that you'd like to see me return to my more lighthearted, funny, traditional fat smut roots. And I want to please that segment of my fanbase as well. Truthfully, I do very much enjoy doing that kind of content. I like being funny and hammy and playful just as much as I like writing revolting and unflinchingly realistic downward spirals. So what I'm gonna do is put Dusk on hold, and use the slot I would use for that story for some happier, less serious, less depressing content.
I'm fucking rambling. TL;DR: I really do appreciate you guys and I wanna make everybody happy and I DO read your feedback and I DO take it into consideration when you give it to me. I wanna give you guys what you want.
SO HERE'S THE FEBRUARY STORIES:
2/7: Lauren the Lurker Part XV: There's a lot I wish I did differently with this one. I wrote with my dick, not with my head. And I feel like it's time I shit or get off the pot, and start building up to the conclusion. I've been agonizing over where I'm gonna take it. I wanna give it the ending it deserves without rushing to it. So if you're sick of this series or feel like I've been meandering through it, my head is clear now, and the end is near.
2/14: Army Wives Chapter Thirty
2/21: Blob Wives: This Thing of Ours. I've touched on this world in my story Here Comes the Bride... And one of my shorts in my Fat Crack series. It's about a certain Italian American social club and their enormous wives, each of whom is seen as a status symbol of their wealth and success, and many of whom are spoiled, gluttonous, conceited, and obsessed with getting fatter.
2/28: Army Wives Chapter Thirty One
You might get Dusk chapter two anyway as a bit of bonus content. I dunno. I'm very insecure and indecisive when it comes to my work.

Glad to have you back

Very excited by this slate of stories. Especially excited by both the continuation of Lauren the Lurker and the beautifully objectifying alt-universe of Blob Wives. I'm hoping you go as meanspirited and dark with Lauren as you like- I'm rooting for the villain on that one and am really intrigued by whatever he's planning on peddling to the sickos on the dark web. For Blob Wives, I'm looking forward to learning more about the folkways and customs of a culture in which feedism and all that comes with it is normalized, even albeit within a quasi-criminal social element (which would actually kind of make sense?) Also looking forward to Army Wives - that story can carry the burden of emotional complexity, fully drawn characters, and sincere drama. The others can fit the bill for massive, oblivious hogs getting objectified by charming feeders.

The stories I keep coming back to, the ones that light a fire under me, are slow-burn, fit-to-fat stories. Stories, where the characters are fat right out of the gate, have never really resonated with me. I read for the gain, the role reversal, the dramatic transformation from athletic to morbidly obese--to the point that the character has essentially handicapped herself because of her gluttony. It's why Army Wives and Moving Back Home are by far my favorite of your stories. Yeah, you are absolutely right that it takes time to set the stage and build momentum, especially if you're craving to see an extreme gain such as me, but the buildup amounts to a bigger payoff. That brand of storytelling is why I'm a subscriber, albeit a new one. I enjoy stories with drama, compelling narrative, and a darker edge regarding how it addresses weight gain: mobility scooters, shower bench, bariatric bed, immobility, oxygen, hospital and doctor visits, etc. What I don't enjoy, however, is when it culminates in the character's death. That's edges too much into the uncomfortable for me if I'm being honest, though I know that's other folks' bread and butter. So, I enjoy the dark, just not the death.

If I unsubscribed from you, how would you continuously throw down the gauntlet with your increasingly high-quality stories? You're easily one of my favorites, and I don't plan on going anywhere.

Same. I admit I got here because of Army Wives and while I don't love everything equally, there's enough to keep me interested once that wraps up. Blob Wives especially... It ticks so many boxes for me, I'd sub just for that honestly.

For what it's worth, I'm glad you're coming back and I won't be unsubscribing anytime soon
