Savanah's Swan Song (Part 22)

Finishing her meal, Savanah slumped against the back of her chair and threaded her fingers in her lap.  A few seconds later, the unfamiliar tickle of her swollen abdomen chased her hands back to the armrests.

“I don’t get it,” Savanah said, her posture straightening.  “You’d gained what?  100 pounds by that point?”

Angelina pushed away her bowl, leaving behind a few bites of salad.  “More.  Maybe 150.”

“Over the course of what? ...

Chewing the Fat: A 2nd Helping with NadyaBBW

 We enjoyed our recent Chewing the Fat interview with NadyaBBW but--much like if she were to stumble upon a tribe of hungry cannibals--there was too much to devour in a single sitting! These follow-up questions didn't make it into our original interview, but we wanted to share a few more morsels from Nadya'...

Savanah's Swan Song (Part 21)

Savanah sat at the breakfast bar and watched Angelina huff around the kitchen.  Despite the actress’ size, she moved gracefully, gliding from the refrigerator to the sink to the island countertop, alternately finding, washing, and cutting various vegetables.  Savanah could still envision her navigating cliffs and catwalks as she had as Lara Croft. It was a convincing performance.

Trying to squeeze into Lara’s costume, however…

“Do you need some help?” Savana...

Wow! The short month of February threw me off my game! I almost missed State of the Patreon time! Fortunately, I didn't miss it entirely as things are blossoming like Spring flowers around these parts...

Shalma's Destruction (Part VII)

“Let’s ambush the caravan ourselves,” you say, hardly believing you’re saying it.

Skasnell looks at you sharply.  He can tell by your face that your statement isn’t born of reckless bloodlust, but from thoughtfully weighing the pros and cons.  He nods solemnly.  “We’ll wait until nightfall.  They’ll need to camp before they reach Mount Vindergast.” 

Catching up with the caravan is easy enough.  It moves with all the speed and urgency...

Quick update...

I just published the super-sized, 20th installment of Savanah's Swan Song. This week was to be the return of Shalma's Destruction, but I was on a fat roll with Savanah so I decided not to refuse the muse. I hope that's OK. Anyway, this was probably my favorite chapter to write thus far and features several never-before-seen illustrations by Magmaman. Things are getting interesting...

Speaking of Magma's terrific illustrations, I noticed that I...

Savanah's Swan Song (Part 20)

The ocean was bracingly cold.  Savanah’s instinct was to race back up the beach, but she wanted answers more than she needed warmth.  So, she trudged behind Angelina through the turgid water until the churning surf smoothed into a waist-deep pool.    

The sand beneath her feet gave slightly as she padded after the actress, caressing her feet like custom insoles.  It wasn’t like the crowded beaches she’d visited a few times as a child, which were litte...

Savanah's Swan Song (Part 19)

"Why don't we take a swim?"

When Savanah hesitated, Angelina quickly added, “Don’t worry.  The cove is completely private.  No one can get within a mile.”

“It’s not that,” Savanah said, lifting her duffel. “I didn’t bring a swimsuit.”

The actress waved away the triviality.  “I’m sure I have a suit that’ll fit.  What are you, a size 12?”

Savanah laughed.  She didn’t mean to.  It just came out.  She was size ...

State of the Patreon (2/18/25): NSFW

Dear Patrons:

It may seem counter-intuitive for a writer like me, but I firmly believe in the adage “a picture is worth a thousand words.”  For that reason, I’ve incorporated a couple of them to preview what’s upcoming in this month’s “NSFW” SOTP.  Now that you’ve been warned, scroll on!

Shalma's Destruction (Part VI)

As appealing as the thought of Shalma growing fatter on all that rich food is, something isn’t right.  A merchant crafty enough to survive in Darrumburgh doesn’t just transport their wares on the caravan equivalent of a silver platter for any brigand or highwayman to help themselves.  However, Skasnell doesn’t seem interested in hearing about any possible ill intent.  He doesn�...

Savanah's Swan Song (Part 18)

Angelina waddled past Savanah and opened heavy curtains on a large window adjacent to the double doors. This allowed in more light and expanded the already impressive vista. “How was your trip? Did you like my little puddle-jumper?”

“It’s beautiful.” Savanah finally got around to answering the actress’s first question.  The one about the view.  The next two still hadn’t registered.  It took her brain longer to process things with the sensory overload in fro...

Shalma's Destruction (Part V)

Shalma’s eyes go wide.  “You want to enter a strongman competition?”

The entire troop, save Skasnell, erupts in laughter. 

“Watch out boys,” Shalma announces gleefully.  “It looks like we’ve got some competition this year.”

“I just thought it was a good idea,” you say.  “The odds would certainly be in our favor.”  Your meek defense does little to assuage the motley crew’s histrionics. &nbs...

Shalma's Destruction (Part IV)

The next few days are spent in the goblins’ cave, alternately resting and indulging in the exterminated broods’ remaining perishables.  Shalma leads by example in both. 

You haven’t been with Shalma’s band very long, but long enough to notice a recurring pattern of intense bursts of action followed by lengthy respites.  At first blush, it seems like a sound strategy.&nbs...

Savanah expected Chad to call back immediately.  Beg her forgiveness.  Throw himself at her mercy.  He had done it countless times before, even when she knew, deep down, that he shouldn’t have to.  He was a bit of a…What was the word kids use nowadays?  A ‘simp’?

A word about Shalma's Destruction...

You probably noticed that the current chapter of Shalma’s Destruction is only accessible to Enabled Overeating and Sabotaged Snacks patrons.  While most chapters will be accessible to all patrons, there will occasionally be subplots from a secondary character’s perspective that will be exclusive to higher tiers.  These “behind-the-scenes” diversions will impact the story’s arc but will do so in a way that’s largely invisible if you’re only following the m...

Remember Millicent from The New Mrs. Claus? Here's an illustration from Magmaman of her getting fat for daddy...er...Santa (under the slightly nefarious influence of Gingerbread mercenaries Chip, Crunch, and Crumb).

Cheers,

Savanah's Swan Song (Part 14)

Three Months Earlier

Savanah inspected herself in the mirror, crinkling her button nose at the hints of cellulite on the backs of her thighs.  She wore a stretchy blue tennis skirt and an even stretchier green cashmere sweater with a plunging neckline.  At least the incongruous combo dug from the back of her closet fit. 

Barely.

Inspiration is a fickle mistress.  A few weeks ago, I sat down to write a ‘musing’ for the page; however, after considering several topics, and failing to gain traction with any of them, I scrapped the idea and moved on to something else. If I’ve learned one thing as a writer, it’s that if the muse abandons you, don’t sit around and wait for her return.  Like most women, she ...

Late-night talk show host Paul Padner addressed his studio audience, and the millions of people watching from home, with obvious excitement in his voice—

Shalma faces the trio of Goblins. You expect them to run away. You certainly wouldn’t blame them, especially after witnessing what she did to a dozen of their compatriots. Instead, after a moment’s hesitation, their leader releases a shrill wail and charges, maw gaping, his dagger poised above his head ready to mete revenge. His foot soldiers dutifully follow, their wails joining the chaotic cacophony.

Shalma looks spent. Her shoulders slump and her chest heaves. She holds the shaft...

Chad had a field day with Savanah’s new curves.  Like the rest of humanity, he’d always found her attractive, but now her body was new and improved.  She was like a remodeled rollercoaster, replete with tighter turns, steeper slopes, and deeper drops.  And just like when he was a kid riding the coasters at Six Flags Over Georgia, as soon as he got off, he wanted to get back on again.  It was thrilling!
