Two Months in, What do YOU Want to See?
Added 2020-10-27 17:11:46 +0000 UTCSo! I've been at this for two months now, and I've learned a lot. I wanna thank everyone who has pledged to me, whether you've maintained your subscription or not.
September I wanted to come out the gate with the safest stories possible, the types of things I thought most of you would like, and bringing back some of my most popular characters.
October was more experimental. Mad Feeder was easily my most successful story that month, and brought me way more pledges than I expected. I had put it up there as a bonus story thinking it wouldn't do much. I was wrong!
I wasn't sure how Hell From Hell was gonna be received, so I made a poll. Most of you thought it was OK, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. But I wanna do better than OK. So I think the polls are gonna become a regular thing for stories I'm not as sure about.
While I do love the creative freedom Patreon has afforded me, I do not want to lose track of the fact that I'm working for you guys. I wanna give you guys stories you want to see. Patreon gives users who delete their pledges exit surveys, which basically allow creators to see the reasons the patron decided to stop subbing to them. They're kept anonymous, and I think they're a really valuable tool because they give insight into why people decide to cancel. If you don't wanna give a reason, that's totally cool too.
All that being said, November will see me going back to basics, stories about fat girls being fat and getting fatter. Thank you all for bearing with me as I figure things out and try out different ideas.
Finally, I wanna open the floor to you. Any suggestions, criticisms, ideas, things you'd like explored, characters you'd like revisited, characters you're sick of, sound off. Don't be afraid to be brutally honest. I have thick skin, and I'm usually my own toughest critic anyway.

Aside from the burping, I agree with every word of this

2020-10-30 12:22:40 +0000 UTCThank you so much for your feedback, man! I agree with you about the themed stories, frankly I'm hesitant to pull the trigger on my original thanksgiving story idea. As much as I've always wanted to do a Thanksgiving themed story, it would just be one long stuffing scene, and that premise has been explored enough imo. I have no plans on doing any Christmas stuff either lol. The dropbox idea is great, and I will absolutely look into it! Thanks again!

2020-10-27 23:38:03 +0000 UTCI hopped on the Patreon train largely on the strength of Moving Back Home. Your writing is consistently way above average regardless of the story content, but MBH was one of my favourite things I ever read, even when it got too dark for my tastes in the last few chapters. The level of realism you achieved there was beyond anything I've encountered in years of reading weight gain stories online. So what I really like are: 1) realistic long term gaining, from thin to huge. "Long term" can vary as a concept. A shorter written piece may cover a decade. A novella length work may go into granular detail about what happens over six months. And it depends largely on the circumstances and psychology of the girl in question. If a girl is somehow being fattened in a very purposeful way, she would gain a lot quicker than a character living a very normal sort of "Fat Girl Life". Either way, the realism is what matters. 2) the psychology of the characters. This is maybe the thing you do the best of online WG writers, particularly with Amanda and her mother in Moving Back Home. But knowing the thought processes of the weight gaining girl and the people in her life, when done convincingly, makes everything that much hotter. 3) girls who are oblivious/have terrible eating habits/lazy as fuck/gluttonous pigs/etc. All of which is to say that, while I can vibe to girls in stories who are hardcore feedees or "need to be the fattest evarrr", my favourites are ones where the gain is somewhat accidental, due to the personality of the girl itself. Especially if there's a helpless or inevitable quality to it. I actually am really enjoying the Dr. Gladwell stories for this same reason, she just cannot seem to help herself and the way her husband both enables her and has negative thoughts about her make the gain that much sexier. 4) burping. I just love it, I scan every story I open to see if it has any. 5) stories with realistic settings. I thought Hal From Hell was well-written, but whenever a story is set in a fantasy or sci-fi setting, or even if it's set in the historical past, I just can't get off to it. Part of the fantasy is imagining these things happening in the here and now, to women I could conceivably meet. I could go on and on (...moreso...), but many comments above already made points I would have made. You're the only WG writer that I'm a patron for, so I know you'll continue to do great work!

2020-10-27 21:25:38 +0000 UTCOverall, I like practically everything you write because it's very well written with a lot of "show, not tell. My favorites have been Moving Back Home, the Niki series, and Here Comes the Bride. If you can find the pattern, I personally like the "bigger is better" women and how they struggle with day to day things at their extreme weight. The sad part of those, however, is the lack of sexual acts for the characters. I, personally, enjoy the extreme fat sex that you just touch the surface on almost every time. Let it out!! Be as dirty as you possibly can because I bet a lot of us do not mind. You are a great writer so adding a little, or more like a lot, of erotica is just the cherry on top. "Boredom", for example, would have been beyond amazing if you expanded on the sexual part at her weight. I know you can do it, don't hold back and let it out.

2020-10-27 20:29:15 +0000 UTCI can only speak for myself of course - these are just my personal tastes. My favorite stories are realistic, long-form weight gain stories. I’m into like the pound-a-day pace - within the realm of possibility but not at all slow either. I feel kind of blue-balled when I commit to reading a story and the subject doesn’t end up at least 600 pounds. I’m also into stories where the subject goes for world-record breaking sizes, like 1,400 pounds. Any more than that starts to get too unrealistic. My favorite is when they start off at a normal weight. My favorites of your work so far are probably Grooming Greg, Moving Back Home, and The Mistress Next Door. I’m super-excited about the GG rewrite! Definitely following that one; I had a fat teacher growing up that pretty much started all this for me. I would have loved just like one more chapter of MND where they get to immobility and the Mistress takes care of them from then on. I liked that it included male weight gain! And I just wish that the main character in MBH had gotten some action at some point during her gain! But I get how that was more a “falling into hopelessness” kind of story so getting into a romantic relationship might have clashed. I’m not a huge fan of all the weight gain authors I follow feeling the need to do a cosmetically “spooky” story or two for Halloween. And then of course they don’t release the next chapter of the long-form story I’m invested in come November, instead writing a one-off about a Thanksgiving stuffing. Really, things don’t get back to normal until after a Christmas story about Santa and magical cookies or something. I wish they could just keep writing normally and ignore the holidays. But maybe that’s how the muse works. I’m more into the vibe of The Mistress Next Door than The Mad Feeder. Like, I want the room to smell like baked goods, lube, and weed - not cigarettes, heroin, and vodka. Not really into the Russian gangster aesthetic. Sadistic can be good, but I want to read about people getting fattened more than I want to read about Russian gangsters yelling at each other about late shipments. One of my favorite story concepts is Paige’s Roommate by StudioFA. That’s where one woman wants to test her new drug that eliminates the negative health effects of obesity by fattening up her roommate to world record-shattering proportions. Those are some thoughts for now. Love the work! P.S. - One more thing! It would be great if you could create some sort of drop box for Patrons where you put your completed stories as singular documents. I like to listen to them on a text-to-speech app, and it would be much easier if the stories weren’t separated on different pages by chapter.

2020-10-27 17:54:38 +0000 UTCDark, morbid, straightforward weight gain stories. Your world building is pretty much unmatched among WG authors, but you could tone down the high concept stuff. Hal from Hell was fascinating and enjoyable, but I'd say at the expense of erotic effectiveness. "These Little Piggies Go To Market" was slightly more on balance. Your marriage-related gaining stories are excellent. I'd also counsel natural (even if extreme) weight gain to Insta-gain devices. you write poorly-intentioned but conflicted protagonists so well, as you do oblivious fat girls. Final advice: MORE fat bimbos. MORE heart attacks and morbidity. SLIGHTLY less worldbuilding. And for god's sakes, no minors sexualized in any way. But overall, please know that you're doing truly exceptional work and spoiling us greatly.

2020-10-27 17:53:29 +0000 UTCReally enjoy how much you communicate with your patrons! Hoping I don’t sound like my tastes are too specific but I super enjoy dominant horrible fatties, even to the point of abuse and noncon. Basically ‘large and in charge’ is my favourite dynamic! I also love fat men but I understand if you won’t do that outside of commissions!

2020-10-27 17:26:06 +0000 UTCHow about thin girls getting enormously fat ? Each time the gal is already pretty fat in the beginning and getting fatter. I want to see more scenarios where a skinny lady turns immobile or close to it.
