Teasers: "Fat Trimmings" Volume 20

Hello,

I'm hard at work on "Fat Trimmings" Volume 20. You can expect that it will be released sometime tomorrow evening.

Before then, I have enough of the first three stories that I figured I would share their teasers.

“Twenty Pounds Here and There”: A vain woman struggles through the years of weight creeping on until it's too late to do anything about it.

----------------------------

She didn’t even notice the first twenty pounds really. Sure her pants were getting tighter, but Freshman year of college was such a blur. It was a year of making new friends and partying harder than she had ever thought she would. It was a time when the world was her oyster, and she felt unstoppable, untouchable. 

So she never checked the number creeping up on the scale until it was too late. 

Having been the Queen Been of high school, it was easy enough to believe that she would never gain weight. The mere thought of it seemed like an impossibility to her. Gaining weight was for lesser people. Getting what was for lazy pigs who couldn’t control themselves. That’s why, in her mind, fat people were so worthy of being made fun of, because they could have avoided being fat and chose to be lazy, greedy, cows.

But she never took her own grazing into account, never kept track of the amount of time she was spending snacking, especially now that she didn’t have the watchful eyes of her mother or her cheer coach watching her. She didn’t have to pay for her dining hall meals, so she never tracked just how much food she was eating there and how many trips she was even making. And well…

That adds up.

“A Little Bit of Magic”: Jealousy leads to an attempt at some magical shenanigans that karmically backfire

--------------------------------

Opal felt a spark. Not a good kind of spark, mind you. No this was the kind of spark that quickly spread throughout her body and ran hot up her neck, making the hairs stand on end. She looked over at Delia, her rival, her best friend, her greatest enemy, and her jaw dropped as Delia’s smile twisted into a sinister grin. That’s when she knew she was truly screwed.

She had thought she was so smart too, she had practiced endlessly, researched the perfect spell, found the perfect moment to do it and quickly and quietly pulled her wand.

For all of their time and school, Opal and Delia had competed to be the most powerful, most beautiful, most popular. The two vain women knew each other better than anyone else. They were a pair, two gorgeous, glamorous girls who felt like they were superior to everyone else while being consumed by a bitter jealousy of each other. And Opal was ready to settle things once and for all. With their senior year of college ending, now was the time. She had Delia right where she wanted her.

She just didn’t expect Delia to be expecting her.

And to have the perfect counter charm prepared.

But now Opal knew exactly what was going to happen to her.

Opal was going to get fat.

“One of Those Fat Making Notebooks”: Like Death Note, but fat? I think? I've never watched or read Death Note.

-----------------------------------------------------

Asami couldn’t believe it. She had actually stumbled upon a notebook that made people fat. It worked like Death Note, but with fat! Debu Note! Just like the videos she had seen. But this was a parody come to life, a weapon of great power at her disposal and ready to humiliate her enemies and achieve her fattening vengeance.

Hell yeah!

Sure, there was probably some kind of gluttony demon attached to this thing, and there were probably some kind of consequences in store for her, but she had never read nor watched enough of Death Note to worry about that kind of thing. Her knowledge of fat making notebooks was exceedingly limited to a couple of Youtube parody videos and an old Fan2000 story that she was only half remembering.

Still, fat making notebooks don’t come around every day. (Maybe every few years perhaps, but certainly not EVERY day.) And she was determined to make the most of it.

First, a test was in order.

As Asami sat her chubby butt on a chair outside the little cafe where she had found the notebook (totally not ominously thrown in the bathroom garbage), she watched a slender woman across from her eat an undressed salad. It was the undressed salad that so easily led Asami to jump to the conclusion that this woman was a skinny bitch, and so she went to work with the notebook.

“The woman sitting across from me and eating an undressed salad will gain ten pounds, mostly to her belly, within the next minute and think this is totally normal,” she wrote. Asami was working under the suspicion that when testing it was always best to be as specific and detailed as possible.

Sure enough, the woman’s slim waist soon began to swell as she gained ten pounds. Her dress stretched to accommodate the growth, most of which landed on her belly and gave her formerly flat stomach a distinctly convex shape. Asami could watch it jiggle as the woman finished her meal and got up to leave. The woman seemed a bit uncomfortable with the tightness of her outfit, and was left somewhat more insecure than she otherwise would have been, but she was not exactly in a panic.

The whole thing made Asami chuckle softly, but it didn’t exactly leave her satisfied. 

“The woman I just made gain weight will gain another fifty pounds over the course of the next year and never be able to lose it,” she wrote with a sinister grin on her face.

And then Asami let the woman go off on her merry way, content to use her imagination to think about what would become of the woman whose life she had changed for the fatter, the self-consciousness, the panic, the failures at dieting and the bursting of clothes. It was an enjoyable taste, but she again needed more.

So she headed off to the modeling agency that she worked as a production assistant at and prepared herself for a feast.

------------------------------------------------

All told there should be four or five stories in this edition. I will likely use some ideas that have been pitched to me for Volume 20 in Volume 21 since I want to get this volume done on time.
