Writing for the Confessionals

[moon_custafer]

So, um... those of you who know me in RL may have figured out that I'm attracted to heavier guys; which over the years has led me to explore the fat-fetishist tories on the web. Just like fan fiction, the stories vary widely in quality, and range from straight-out porn, to romance in which one or both of the leads happens to be fat and the other one considers that a feature, not a bug.

Lately I've begun trying to write some of the latter; when it got no attention on tumblr, I bit the bullet and submitted it the fiction section of Dimensions Magazine online. It takes a while for their moderators to review things and post them, but the first part went up a couple of days ago and has received some positive comments.

It's an odd thing to be writing in the romance genre, because I never really read it much; it's also odd to be writing something with no SFF content, but still is unlikely to attract a mainstream audience. OTOH, it's kind of liberating to do something this self-indulgent, because as long as I'm at it, I might as well do whatever I want: set the story around a production of Edith Sitwell and William Walton's Façade? Why the hell not. Spend several paragraphs describing how to paint a theatrical backdrop? Not my problem if the audience is bored.

Meanwhile, someone on the boards wants a story that revolves around a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and you know what? I bet I could write that too.

*flails* WTH is that????????????? I want the rest of it right now!!!! You've got such a deft talent and I had no idea you harboured a fetish and now this delightful bit of writing. Tumblr is confusing to me in that I don't know how to comment there but I did click the floating heart or whatever it is. Will you post it here on LJ?

Glad it works for you.

Yeah, tumblr's hard to comment upon; I tried to set up disqus but I'm still not sure how it works. I'm also not sure how many links I can post in a comment, but here are a few more chapters to be going on with.

I tend to be attracted to women who remind me of my father.

You realize that statement's going to need some qualifying, right? ;)
