^__^ - Coke’s Guide to Writing a Pretty Good Weight Gain Story.
Step A (Optional): Go to the bookstore and buy How to Write a Short Story the Sparknotes guide. ($7.95). Read it. It's a great starting point that covers all the basics of writing short stories.
1: Realize that 90% of Weight Gain literature readers are teenaged/young adult guys who aren't looking to read something the length of Gilgamesh. You should be aiming for something between 4 - 10 pages most of the time.
2: Understand that a typical novel is about 85,000 words or 190 pages. You need to fit all the rich content of a novel into a story of 5000 words or less. But trust me! It's not an impossible challenge.
3: A novel is a big story that leads to big change. A short story is a little story that leads to big change. Every good piece of literature needs four things: Conflict, Opposition, Risk and Change.
4: So imagine our story is about a girl named Sarah who's at Harvard and plays on the soccer team. Also, she has no troubles. In fact, she even leads her team to the playoffs! Now that would be a very dull story, right? Ok, let’s add Conflict.
- Now our story is about a soccer girl who goes to Harvard. But over the summer, she went on a vacation in Italy, and now she has a big Italian belly. Sarah is much slower and very out of shape, and there's only a month left before the season starts. If she isn't back to peak condition, she'll lose her spot on the legendary team!
Summary w/ Conflict:
Sarah needs to lose weight fast or she’ll lose her spot on an elite team.
-We need conflict in order to keep our story interesting!
-Ok! Let's add a touch of Opposition. Now let’s say Sarah is also a star programmer for Harvard's Robotics Team. Her best friends are also part of the squad, and she could help them win the national BattleBot competition if she only spent more time programming instead of practicing soccer. Let's have three of our protag's friends try to keep her fat so she loses her soccer spot. Sarah needs to face opposition in order to keep the story rolling as well.
Summary w/ Conflict & Opposition:
Sarah needs to lose weight fast or she’ll lose her spot on an elite soccer team. Her roboteam friends want her to help them program a mecha instead, so they try to keep her fat so she doesn’t have a chance at making the soccer team for the fall season.
Summary w/ Conflict, Opposition, and Risk:
Sarah needs to lose weight fast or she’ll lose her spot on an elite soccer team. Her roboteam friends want her to help them program a mecha instead, so they try to keep her fat so she doesn’t have a chance at making the soccer team for the fall season. If Sarah can help her friends program, then they have a huge chance of winning the $100,000 prize from the national BattleBot competition.
-Now here comes the exciting part, Change. Will our protag end up fatter, a programmer, and more close-knit with her friends? Will she drive her friends away while pursuing her soccer dream? What will happen to the protag? One thing’s for sure, our protagonist needs to have dramatic change. Seeing her change is what makes the story most interesting.
Full Summary w/ Conflict, Opposition, Risk, and Change:
Sarah needs to lose weight by the end of the summer or she’ll lose her spot on Harvard’s soccer team. Her friends Jenny, Lexi, and Sabrina are in the robotics club, and they want Sarah’s assistance in programming a battle mecha instead. The trio tries to keep Sarah overweight so she doesn’t have a chance at making the soccer squad for the fall season. If Sarah can help her friends program, then they have a huge chance of winning the $100,000 prize from the national BattleBot competition. Will Sarah be able to get fit enough for soccer? Or will rich Italian dinners and “friendly interferences” from her besties keep our protagonist carrying a gut and tipping the scales?
5: Now what I just described is more suitable for a novel. We need to remember our target audience—Young adult dudes who don’t want to read a novel but want the intensity of a novel. Alright, time to shrink everything down in size (except our protag’s waistline). We need to fit this story into a slice of drama.
****THE STORY WE WILL SUBMIT TO DEVART*****
- Our short story will only focus on one scene—the pizza parlor scene—this is where Sarah is at her fattest and has just came back from Italy two weeks ago. She’s been exercising but is still gaining weight (cough big dinners cough). Tonight, she’s with her best friends and they’re trying to coax her into helping them program for the BattleBot nationals. They’re promising Sarah the biggest share of money. They’re offering to buy her Italian dinners at her favorite restaurants a few times a week. In short, Jenny, Lexi, and Sabrina are going for broke.
-Tonight, Sarah will either continue pursuing soccer or she’ll help them program. There’s no room for little “compromises” in Short Stories, we need big dramatic things that serve as the climax. Sarah can either program or do soccer. Since this is a WG story, of course she’ll chose programming (and put on those beautiful pounds).
-Remember folks, you need to downsize your entire “novel plot” into one intense scene.
*****
6: Now that we have our story “outlined” with Conflict, Opposition, Risk, and Change it’s time to craft some WG fanservice! What is fanservice in the WG Lit community? An example sentence would be…
----
“Fuck…I got one month to go, and three months of pasta to lose.“ Sarah says, gazing into the bathroom mirror. She looks down, and slaps a hand on the boulder of belly flab oozing over the belt of her jeans.
----
- Fat play, stuffing, waddling, fat examining, squeezing, exercise fatigue, bra snapping, jiggling, fat teasing, belly pats, and stuckage are a few examples of fanservice. But believe me, many dudes share a hivemind when it comes to what’s sexy with BBWs. If you think the situation would be sexy, it probably is. Anyway, you need to merge the story with snippets of fanservice (but not too much or it breaks up the plot). Fanservice is one of the most fun parts of a story to write. But too much is a bad thing. You need to strike a balance between fap text and plot. They should flow seamlessly together.
Fanservice Summary: We should show Sarah being hindered by her fat, and also touching her flab in sexy manners. The best fapfiction WG writers (I’m not one of them by the way) have this down to a science.
-Alright, so how do we end this basic short story? What’s the easiest way?-
7: The timeskip method is an easy and great way to show off a gain while keeping the story moving. In my example, I could skip to a month later where Sarah’s huge from all the Italian dinners her friends promised. I could have Sarah’s soccer team in shock as they watch her jiggle into a classroom with two moons of flab for an ass.
8: Alright, time for a quick review. The basics of a good story are Conflict, Opposition, Change, and Risk. Weight Gain stories are not exempted from this blueprint. Figure out a plot involving those four things and then merge it with fanservicey text (and perhaps a stuffing scene). Finally, timeskip and show how large the protagonist has become. Those are the basics for writing a pretty good Weight Gain Story! Now get out there and write after the last tip! ^__^
9: To be a good writer you need to be a good reader. To be the best you must read the best!

*Honestly, I feel like I'm last person who should be giving advice on this sort of stuff.
lmao sucks to be the 10% tho of that ‘90% of readers are teen boys/young men who want short stories’ as a young woman (ish) who wants long form stories about weight gain
