riptoryx Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Just now, Drastic Pork said: It was sooo well written. So much so that I can't read it all the way through a second time. It physically hurts me to feel her anguish at who she's become. Hah. Thanks. I guess that's "mission accomplished," then? It's definitely a story focused at least as much on tragic downfall and humiliation as on the "weight gain" aspect itself. In some ways, Kara's weight gain kind of functions as a physical manifestation of how far down the proverbial ladder she's sunk at any given point (ditto for Jessie). I think part of what may make the story hit hard for some folks is the way it marches through those viscerally embarrassing and emotionally cruel scenes with the same grounded realism as every other scene. It's also somewhat unusual in that it's a story not only lacking any obvious "feeder"-type character (with one arguable exception), but also one that features no character espousing a positive spin on weight gain at all. Many details of the story were inspired by my own personal acquaintances and experiences (in addition to the original version of the story by @flaming-hades, of course!). "Write what you know," as the saying goes. Batman76, Pistol514, Maverick and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
