Wow, amazing work.  Thanks for the data recovery efforts. ;D

Nice.  Thanks to Prophet for providing this service to the community!

That's an amazing drawing of Fuerza from Jebriodo. But then again, they all are. ::)  Thanks for sharing!

He seems to be enjoying himself in the story…  :-

Yeah, that was my take on it too.  Though obviously the idea is kind of new to him.  Anyway, thanks for posting that pic.  🙂

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. 

So… would the concepts and theory on the nature and application of "soft power" and "hard power" apply here then?  😀

Man, I'm irrationally proud of myself for thinking of that particular double entendre.  Though I suppose I should give a little credit to all the other contributors to this thread.  ::)

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.

Most definitely one of mine too.

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?

Well, I prefer the FMG recipient to be a protagonist or close friend/associate/ally thereof, but that could be an interesting take on the FMG-for-villainesses genre.  It all depends on how well her POV is portrayed.  Pure evil-for-the-sake-of-being-evil antagonists never held much interest for me.

FMG and GTS are different but similar in that they're precisely the opposite of BE as far as that goes. If a girl is 50' tall or built like the Hulk… she's powerful. Now, she might not realise it… or she might be too nice to abuse it but it's there regardless of whether it's elaborated upon or not.

I'm not as well versed in GTS but that's definitely more dominated by the abuse of power… FMG tends to be more evenly split.

That's probably the main difference.

After giving it more thought, I find I agree with everything you and AlexG state.  Perhaps that's why I like FMG and BE, but only incidentally on occasion tolerate GTS.  GTS is 90% gore or power-mad women.  Not that there's anything wrong with power-mad women… ;D but they have to somehow be forced back to their senses eventually for me to be interested.

Interesting construction method.  Maybe I should try it out.

Hm, well, as AlexG mentioned, you'll more likely find FMG fans here, and not so much GTS, and I'm no exception.  But I'll see what I can do.

(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.

Well, I do prefer the gentle protectors myself, but sometimes it can be exciting to see how twisted and evil you can make a character.  Transformations don't have to be solely physical, and I suspect a lot of GTS fans cross over into sadomasochism territory.  As for me, a little dabbling in the darker side of human nature helps to remind me why I stay over on the light side. 😀  It makes a character so much more interesting when they follow an arc of losing their innocence and then regaining their faith, or being corrupted, going to the brink or perhaps over it, but then repenting and becoming redeemed.  Just my personal fetish I guess.  Did I mention I liked Jekyll and Hyde stories?  😉

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?

Y'know, I don't think I've ever run across an author putting that much thought into the distinct modes of structural failures different clothing designs would have.  Not that I'm against it, but it's never occurred to me to care. 😉 If I care about the costume, it's because it's a signifier of a subculture or personality for the girl in question, goth or punk, or what have you.  If you have an interesting idea in this vein, by all means, go forth and write it.  😀

I love your drawings, but your 3D characters aren't chopped liver either. 😀  You have a knack for getting the light scattering on the skin right.  Gives your females a nice living glow.  Anyway, thanks for sharing your "sketches".

[trilliwig]

The second one is right up my alley.  Girl with glasses, shrinking clothes deforming, instant replay action.  ;D Very nice, thanks Lingster!
