Contains: themes of male weight gain.
This story came after a period where I found myself burnt out on writing. I thought for a moment that maybe I was burnt out on writing gaining stories, but a short-lived foray into other styles quickly proved I was just burnt out in general. That was a bad period for my mental health. I found myself asking a lot of questions about the world and my place in it. To the extent that I started asking my friends what role I serve in their life, and why they keep me around.
Probably the most consistent answer that I got was that they appreciate my honesty. They know I’ll tell them what they need to hear, while still doing it with compassion. I don’t say this to brag. I say it because it’s related to how this story came to be.
Those of you who follow me on Grommr know I’m not fond of the wave of Patreon/OnlyFans accounts that have flooded the gaining scene. For a while now, I’ve tossed around the idea of writing a story where a guy with a gainer Patreon falls under a curse where only his patrons can see how much weight he’s put on. To everyone else, he looks skinny.
But I put off writing it for a long time. I don’t like writing mean-spirited stories, and I couldn’t find a way to tell this story that didn’t seem needlessly mean to the gainer.
But then that bad mental health spell happened, and I found out how much the people who know me appreciate my honesty. And I felt like this was one skeleton in my ideas closest that I had to lay to rest. I workshopped the story with a good friend (thank you, Joe!), to try to make sure it didn’t come off too heavy handed, or too cheesy. And now, the story I thought I’d never write is written.
This will probably come off as preachy to some. One person accused me of “virtue signaling” in A Certain Kind of Problem Customer; that person is probably going to hate this story. And some won’t like it simply because we don’t see eye-to-eye on gainer Patreons/OnlyFans. Still others probably won’t like it because it’s less of a gainer story and more of a morality fable. If that’s the case for you, you’ll probably like the story I’m going to post after this a lot more. But hopefully at least some of you do like it.
