(Figures I'd find this post now)

I have to ask what the heck is 'Issue Porn' and what the FLIP is a "Tenebraeism"?

If you are having doubts about what you create and how other see your work (at least this is what I think what vibe I'm getting from your post) just do what I did.

I read my Geiger Soldier story in front of a four author critique panel. One author was intrigued, one was clearly uncomfortable hearing me read it, one was indifferent, and one took a great steaming crap on the genre saying... "People have made more money off of far worse things".

If you can walk away, great. If you have to crawl away, then its time to start thinking. 

The premise: Kara Smith works in a military research outpost during a war on an Alternate Earth (WWI era with pseudo magic/science)) This is the first official GTS scene and I'm trying to make it as surreal as possible.

If anyone could take the time and give some input I'd be greatly appreciated.




Kara remained motionless in the idle lab. She couldn’t bring herself to do any work, not until the professor returned. The lab echoed her decision. The ambient sounds ticked away, with instrumentation doing nothing other than running at idle specifications.

The lights flickered.

Kara got to her feet. The lights never flickered. He throat became dry and she heard a faint noise, much like paper crumpling into a ball.

She glanced to the ceiling and saw countless fingers of minuscule current performing some strange music along the ceiling support columns. Then the lights began to extinguish in a slow progression. Darkness settled around her as if time began to solidify.
   
A massive serpent of electricity burst forth from the ceiling and coiled down the central column. It pierced the reinforced floor with zero resistance. The rapid transference of current began to churn the air. Loose objects floated about as Kara brought a hand to shield her face from the artificial wind.
   
All the noise receded into a single sound. A sharp snap came from the Component X chamber.
   
The central chamber split open releasing a torrent of sapphire electricity and purple either. The combined forces reached out eager to grasp her tight.
   
The purple and blue infusion reached her and time slowed to the point of a single drop of water falling to the base of the sink. Waves of distortions swirled around her as she floated within her laggard tumble. Everything became imaginary as familiar objects began to distort. Her self-perception stretched as well. She could see her entire body suspended in a backward trajectory.

She watched as her pants and blouse compressed as seams and hems retracted inward until they bit into her skin. Her discomfort didn’t last more than a second as sturdy cloth ripped with intensity becoming a patchwork of bare thread and ellipses of various size and diameter. Yet she heard no sounds other than her own breathing.

She continued to spiral as her clothing disintegrated before her eyes. Her pants peeled off her legs until they became a useless skirt that trailed along beside her.  Her underwear’s elastic waistband had split wide open and had become nothing more than a pair of kerchiefs wrapped around her legs.  Her last garment to fail was her bra. The elastic strap that encircled her torso popped open behaving much like an overtaxed rubber band. Kara thought this should hurt, but she could feel no discomfort as she continued her flight.

The professor’s office loomed ahead. Its sturdy twelve by sixteen foot window seemed liked it belonged on a humble cottage door. She drew closer and closer. She considered she ought to be worried for her speed must be brisk and she knew the window was reinforced. But her shoulders connected to the sturdy glass and broke through as if she dove into a pool. Bits of glass became particles of light as she continued into the office. Then all the sound caught up with her. The shattering of glass, the cracking of concrete, and the tearing of metal all gathered to a single point. The shockwave carried her to darkness.

This thread has been a huge help for myself in getting a handle on how FMG ‘works’.

BE tends to be a ‘passive’ power effect… as the protagonists gets bigger she gains more attention.

FMG tends to be an ‘active’ power effect…as the protagonist gets bigger she can now go out and get what she wants. 



I have seen this theme before. It’s very established in most kinds of Size Fetish fiction, Arousal = Size has always been one of my favorites.

And as I read more and more of this forum I’m starting to notice that FMG/GTS readers are fare less forgiving than BE readers. FMG/GTS readers need more than growth only, if the story lacks ‘Mental Design’ from the main female protagonist, the reader gets bored and finds something else to read.

My question: would the following story premise work for a FMG story…

A space explorer crash lands on a forbidden planet. He discovers a female alien who wants a ‘one-night-stand’ before she kills him. He refuses and flees back to his ship. The story continues with the female alien undergoing FMG in order to surpass the ship's defenses and get to man. As long as the ‘cat-and-mouse’ elements of the story are done well… where the explorer does what he can to stop her, and the space alien does what she can not to be stopped… then this could satisfy a FMG reader’s expectation?

I have never thought of clothes bursting in such a manner. I have to say this is brilliance. I might have to go back to my GTS story and do a revamp...

But thanks again for all the help. I do know that the RTE-23 story site is interested in producing more AMZ and GTS stories. I am very thankful you guys where here to help me out. I might be able to write a few. (or try  )…

The final size is 300 ft tall... It’s a very pulp-comic style work of fiction.

I've noted that the GTS fan base are very quiet and reserved compared to the BE groups who constantly explain what they do and do not like in their fiction.

I only ask these questions because I'm ready to write and I do not want to draft stuff the established GTS and FMG fans go... "What is this junk, it’s an interesting story but the author never deals with..."

Paranormal romance is becoming the fastest growing genre in main stream Romance fiction. The most interesting aspect of this genre is you now have female protagonists that are very dangerous. The male protagonist now has to deal with the, "Back-Widow Effect", where if he decides to love her he could die if he displeases her. 

So besides the basics of physical changes described in the most sensual means possible, is there anything else that the GTS/FMG fan group looks for in their fiction?

I could use some help.

I’ve been a BE writer for ten years. Never bothered with any other of the Growth genres until recently when I was asked to write a GTS story.

Afterwards, I realized that I enjoy writing GTS fiction. But it left me a little confused. I’d like to think I know most of the ‘in and outs’ of breast expansion, including what are cliché’s and how to describe large breasts without reverting to reciting the alphabet. Yet, I am at a loss for the majority of GTS fiction.

I really do not want to invest ten more years figuring out how to do good GTS, so I thought this would be the place to ask questions.

(I’ve seen the FMG cliché thread and it’s been very helpful.) I’ve been told there are basically two archetypes in most FMG stories: the gentle giant, and the dominator. I can understand the gentle protector theme, but I’m still having difficulty understanding the enjoyment factor of a cruel female protagonist.

Second… I could use some help polishing my description technique. In my first story I used all my BE tricks to describe the GTS elements of the story: use common objects as size comparison, subtle descriptions as the protagonists struggles with her environment, and clothes ripping.

Wardrob malfunction is where I could use the most help. Unlike BE, the garments suffering from a growing protagonist will expand from all sides instead of just from the front. I pondered using my fond memories of the, “Incredible Hulk” TV show for inspiration, but splitting across the sleeves and back can only be utilized so many times.

Panties: I would think as the female hips, thighs, and rump become larger the fabric would fail across the seat, much like tearing open a packet of Wal-Mart Socks. Then I figure the garment would fail at the waistband as it becomes very tight across the frontal nuaghty-bit areas.

Shredding clothing also has much to do with the style and design of the clothing… A dress shreds differently than a pair of slacks, than a spandex leotard, than some frilly lingerie… But does the clothing influce the enjoyment factor? And would a bra break from the front before breaking at the back?

So I ask, can anyone help me out?

...Lets see if I can help out those who are having registration problems. This is the solution that I've heard is the best option to fix this problem.

People using Yahoo as their e-mail (or anything with a spam filter that is prone to summarily delete any automated response) should make sure that they've designated admin.rte23@gmail.com as "safe" before they try and register.

…otherwise, you won't get their confirmation e-mail. (And will be unable to down-load the story because Yahoo’s spam filter shows no mercy.)

Remember if you have any issues you should e-mail admin.rte23@gmail.com
