Taken as a given it’s obvious that all of us are into buffed chix, otherwise why would you be here at all?    Some enjoy the FMG and/or BE aspects; others prefer to focus on the realms of strength and prowess or explore the admiration and rigors of bodybuilding, or even a combination of some or all of the above.

Now, the question for this episode of Inside the Writer’s Studio is a simple one - what caused you / inspired you to shift from being a passive observer and into a proactive story writing participant of this genre?

In my own case, it was the lack of what I looking for in particular - Giant Couples stories, of which there has been very little, if any, written upon.  This, I took as a challenge - and in taking up the gauntlet, I’ve not stopped since.

Over the course of time, my interests have evolved into what I call Power Couples, which is a more inclusive term, since I don’t just focus on Giants and Giantesses anymore.  Amongst them, I’ve including transgenic (aka furry) and even SW (Minizons), as well as solo stories of transformation, some about women, some about men, too.

After I finally crossed the digital divide and got online, I was first into anime fanfiction with a play-by-e-mail roleplay game.  We'd create characters, start an adventure idea, write what our characters do, send it to the other players, they write what theirs do, and gradually built a story which would get posted on the web.  Mine was a magic princess/warrior who struggled with the fact she got an inch taller every time she transformed into a heroine.

The fact I'd also was struggling with weight loss at the time probably tempered my writing a bit.

Later I'd done some searches for giantess stories... and I stumbled into the female muscle growth genre.

At first when I read the stuff, I was bummed by how raunchy too many of the stories were, and that the guy was a total doormat four times out of five, and that the girl was a power-tripping ogress.  So as a challenge, and just to see what the community's reaction would be... I wrote a story where the guy was a shrimp among a bunch of insanely amazonian females in his world, and he still held his own and got the better of them in his own right.

Admittedly, I focused on his personality at the cost of developing the others, but I still got positive responses from readers. 

And later, I decided to focus on the females, and do something positive with the strong females.  That's when The Stray, and the Dyna fanfics and Like a Weed came out. 

Now I'm doing it for the fun and concepts.  But that's what lit the fire under my writer's double-wide.  I wanted some positive, honorable and entertaining writings that'd please my "eye" for the plus-sized ladies, yet be something I could show my kids, sweetheart, or pastor. 

And as joey7x said astutely, "if I didn't write it, then no one would."

I was frustrated by a lack of stories that appealed to me - so I just proclaimed my intentions to write and wouldn't you know, I was one of the best authors to ever enter the scene and also profoundly modest.

So, yes - mostly that I felt my needs weren't being catered to and I was pretty sure that no one else was going to write a story about a bunch of girls becoming bosomy amazonic lesbian catgirls... and I don't think anyone has written any since The Best Craft either...

Well I do remember my experiences from starting off on the Iczerman forums, back when he used VOY/1185/ to communicate with everybody.

Don't know if it's still up since I haven't been there in years, but that's when I first decided I wanted to start contributing.  I knew I couldn't draw but I did know that I could write, so in order to contribute I would write some stories.

I'm not exactly sure if my stories were uncommon, all I know is that most of the characters I would read about weren't very likeable or captivating.  They would just grow, rip their clothes, and have sex.  Was getting pretty bland and stale, so I wanted to make a story with characters that had strong motives for keeping themselves under control and at a normal size.  I wanted more action, drama, and character development.  A real conflict between characters wanting to change and character wanting to prevent the change.

At least, that was what initially brought me into writing.


It wasn't until I started working on my animation that I wanted to add some back story to all the events that were happening.  What happened when the main character died, what happened after the big battle, what is still yet to come even though several years have passed?  Now all of my most recent stories connect to one another, each sharing one universe but following the lives of different characters.  A diverse selection between those who can control themselves after a change and those who cannot.

I'm not quite sure how all my characters ended up being so short though, since they were based off of real girls I've known throughout my life.  99% of the characters ended up being 5' 4" and no taller.  They obviously weren't very muscular either, but oh well they were based on very cute and beautiful girls.
