Ah, I missed that part.  Aside from those I listed, which have had the greatest influence on me, as for within the community, I would have to say that Hi-Standard stands out the most with me - tho my style and his differ widely in excution.  That and the fact that when I was invigorated to write my own, there was no outlet for male and female power couple stories - and no one (so far as I could discover) was writing them, either.  That was probably one of the major impetuous for me to do so, a challenge to be met and overcome.


That might be especially true with the works of Robert Adams, last time I checked all of them were out of print, have been for about 15 or so years now.  He was quite a prolific writer in his day, starting from around 1974 until his death around 1990.  He's one of the few that had femuscular females in his stories and they were a prominent portion of his Horseclans series, especially with the Amazonian clan of The Moon Maidens.

His site is long gone, and outside of some that were uploaded to giantess.com, I'm probably one of the few that has saved all of his works, that is save one.  It was his only attempt at GTS gore and he admitted to me in private that it was the one story he wrote that he came to thoroughly dislike, but still archived it nonetheless on his site for posterity.


Aside from the used book feature on Amazon.com, second hand paperback bookshops are probably going to be your best bet.

FYI - there are 18 Horseclans books in the series, plus two anthologies penned by sci-fi friends of his, hence the Friends of the Horseclans title on those two.  Castaways in Time, there were six in all.  Not to mention three other anthology collections he edited and a third series he was just starting up when he passed away (and whose title eludes me at the moment.

All this and when he wasn't smithing a new sword, a suit of armor or creating a costume as a member of the Society for the Creative Anachronism.


Yes I did, check your PM box for my reply.

BTW - Just to toot my own horn a bit, if you haven't already checked, you'll find three of my stories in the Growth Stories forum.

I don't so much have a source of literary inspiration, I guess, except maybe to take some story idea from a genre that is pretty far-removed from fmg/sf literature and maybe work it into into this genre.  More often, though, I will flesh out some old dreams and daydreams into full length stories, but instead of just focusing on the fmg or the eroticism, I like to mesh those themes with love, loss, regret, sorrow, and other more complex emotions. 

I like to think that this is a genre of art and literature just like any other, with the possibility of making good, satisfying works.  Of course, there are simple bread and butter tales, but there have been enough stories and drawings submitted that I think we see a wide range of poor to excellent art in this category.
