Just one chapter!?

Good catch! I managed to set my DVR and got these. Sadly, my Nickolodeon reception sucks. I never knew.

Basically, at the end of the episode it turns out Cindy’s scrawny-but-athletic mom is actually her aunt Suzie, covergirl for "Buff Chicks Magazine" in a full-body suit that makes her look normal. When Jimmy’s robot removes the suit, she flexes in all her glory.

Since I view this as the "NEW" Wreckshop Board of sorts, I figured I’d continue this on.

I don’t see this as a replacement for Wreck Shop’s or Diana’s boards – not in total, anyway. "She Grew!" is focused on one core topic – growth – whereas Wreck really has female muscle art as his focus, and Diana has only one growth board (which generates scant interest and is so technologically out of date as to be of very limited utility). There are plenty of giantess resources, of course, but many of these are focused on the "after" part of it, rather than the actual growth boost.

Good tip on the show – I’ll have to check that out.

I like the first two, but that last one is amazing.

Agreed – so why don’t you have your own bookshelf on DtV? Long overdue, IMO.

Once I’m done with the indexed story server modifications, there won’t be any need for that.

Is it ok to post morphs here too? I’ve got an idea in mind… 😉

Absolutely – link to them.

For starting this site Lingster I’d gladly buy your lunch once a month!

In Canadian dollars that could be quite a bit of money. 😉

Actually, I spaced and forgot about LH-Art. LH-Art has been publishing for a long time, and the owner sells some of his father’s work from the 40s forward. Some of this has growth themes, and much of the material that dates from the 80s forward contains growth themes.

So if anyone wants to help lets say co-write give me a shout!

The problem, Ristard, is that there’s insufficient incentive for editors. One of the things I’d like to look at doing once we’ve got things solidified here is to start a quarterly subscription eBook – something that we could charge a little bit of money for and then actually PAY writers, editors, artists and designers and colorists to contribute to. I doubt there’d be much money involved, but I find that just getting SOMETHING seems to eliminate the sense that the contributor is wasting his or her time.

For instance, I feel a lot better about Transvigor now that it’s generating some advertising money, even though it’s less than $100/month, which is a small fraction of the value of the effort I put into it – just $2 or $3 a day. I think of it as you guys buying me lunch a couple times a week.

Anyway, I’ve been looking at eBook publishing suites and the cheapest costs about $1500 (we’d need to incorporate copy protection and DRM), so I won’t be implementing this any time soon. But over the long haul, I think publishing a 100-page eBook digest four times a year, maybe for $10 or $15/copy, could provide as much as $12,000/year to pay out to artists and writers to encourage them to do their stuff. I mean, imagine being able to pay someone like Tom Burgos $2000 to illustrate a story, or to commission other professional artists to do work in the FMG genre.

I don’t want to get ahead of myself. I’m going to stay fixed for the next few weeks on enabling all the features I envision for She Grew!, but after that’s done and we have 1000 or so members, maybe this autumn we can look at trying to kick-start an eBook storefront.

Sure – I have no objection. That’s what "other" is for.

See what kind of feedback you get – that’s how you’ll really be able to judge whether this is a good place to post future stories.
