Wow.  Just wow.

I've been reading this bigoted, insensitive drek from people who are otherwise generally pretty open-minded for the past several days.  It reads like a bunch of snobs who've got their panties in a twist and can't wait to let the world know how petty and small-minded they are.

You know the difference between someone who has a tattoo and someone who doesn't?  It's really, really simple- someone who has a tattoo doesn't CARE whether you have one or not.  In other words, they recognize that you, as an individual, have the right to make your own decisions regarding what you do to your body WITHOUT feeling the need to insult you about it.

I'll second what Lingster said, adding that I'd definitely buy a tasteful Tetsuko t-shirt if you were to offer one for sale somehow…

As for protecting your intellectual property, I'd guess that the first step would be to find out just who the Finnish strongwoman actually is.  luvmuslgirls is probably your best source for figuring that out…

Good luck!

It's fairly recent- June 28- and I don't think there is anything new, yet.  I would recommend asking Tigersan if you're curious about further updates.  Check his dA site at http://tigersan.deviantart.com/ to drop him a note and see more of his nifty stuff…

If I were to make a guess based purely on the title, I would guess it's Tigersan's work as published on the Awefilms Members Website…

Fett mentions in the Deviation comments for Easy Gainer Fett-Style that it's his take on a previous 4-page growth comic of the same name done by Wreck-Shop for LH Art.  It was an awesome comic in its own right, and I love both the original and Fett's rendition. 

As an aside, the original easy-gainer art is posted on the cancuz_scoundrel yahoo group… http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cancuz_scoundrel_art/files/OtherFMG/EasyGainer/

It would depend on the story, I think.  I'm going to slightly expand the topic and mention that I am currently writing a Sylph story in which Teh Reffy has a fairly prominent role…  While I have yet to write a story that included me directly, making use of other real-world peeps inclines me to believe that writing a story in which I made a brief appearance is far from beyond the realms of possibility.

Oddly enough, yes, I think I could finish a storyline in another writer's style.  The thing is, I wouldn't want to.  I have far too many irons in the fire right now in any case, but I think part of the joy for me, at least, comes from writing what I want in the style I want to write it in.  If I were commissioned to write something in a particular style, on the other hand, I might change my tune.

All the art really is Boris Vallejo, although it's not all strictly FM art.  The book is a pretty good read, and pretty quick, too, at 214 pages, but significantly less, actually, because each picture uses up two pages of text (one for the picture, one for the blank backing so that none of the text leaks through and ruins the artwork.  The book I have says that it's copyright 1991, so it's probably available for not too much if you know where to look.

It's very abrupt.  Endings are hard.  Just ask Stephen King, who sucks at it.

Lol.  I've thought that on more than one occasion.  Lois Lowry, too, in a completely different genre, and innumerable others.  The criticism was well-intentioned; it's what I do for a living.

I grant you that, by that definition, all writing (and not just fetish writing) is done for the pleasure of the author.  I find true altruism just about impossible to fathom.  On the other hand, if you expand your definition of pleasure-as-motivation, than it becomes essentially meaningless.  Pleasure can reasonably be extended as the motivation for any and all human activities.

Oddly, I remember reading that story.  And I remember thinking that it was pretty good, too, although the ending seemed a bit… abrupt?

People don't produce fetish content for anyone's pleasure but their own.

So- you produced this solely for your own pleasure?  Really?

And I have to wonder if you might not have written more if you'd chosen a forum that was more likely to garner you responses- such as here or on deviant Art- because I can certainly understand not wanting to continue writing if you don't get any attaboys or, even worse, if you don't get any responses whatsoever.

I was fortunate enough that my first few stories did receive approval and even some accolades.  And, yes, that has certainly influenced me to keep writing.  I suppose a point ought to be cleared up- I realize that the genre I write in is highly sexualized, but I think you would be hard pressed to call the majority of what I write fetish or porn.

I'm trying to decide why it is that your posts have so irritated me.  I think it is because it seems as if you've lumped all authors in the FMG/GTS genre as, necessarily, fetish and hard-core porn writers, whether that was your intention or not, and, further, then gone on to assign all of us identical and base motivations.  Perhaps you were trying to be funny and it just fell flat, or perhaps you hadn't realized that you worded your post so strongly- I don't know- but saying that "People don't produce fetish content for anyone's pleasure but their own." is a lot like saying- in fact, semantically the same as saying- "No people produce fetish content for anyone's pleasure but their own."  The problem with that statement is that your previous posts lump all the writers in the FMG/GTS genre in with fetish writers and don't allow for the possibility that some of the writers may not, in fact, be writing with that specific style or goal in mind.

Was that your intention?  Or did I misinterpret your posts entirely?
