How do you feel about stories that acknowledge COVID-19?
Added 2021-02-12 16:00:04 +0000 UTCPoll time! Obviously, society has been irreparably changed by this pandemic and there are moments where I am unsure whether or not I should acknowledge this. I personally strive towards a level of realism and therefore tend towards incorporating our current situation into stories. At the same time, it can be limiting to what I write to the same degree it limits us in real life. So, I'm on the fence. Do you prefer stories that take place in a coronavirus reality or not?

Covid is real, and there are a lot of people putting on weight (and liking it, apparently, from all of the Tik Toks I'm seeing). I am reading mostly for the weight gain and fat fantasy so getting too far into the negative psychological effects of Covid wouldn't be for me.
2021-02-12 16:29:05 +0000 UTCI like the idea that it’s a cause of a lot of weight gain as a trope but the isolation stuff can get a bit samey after a while so I’m on the fence. It doesn’t annoy or offend me though and it has its positives so I say definitely feel okay to make mention/set stories in a Covid world!
