The game will open next Friday, Nov 6, around 6:00 pm EST. Have your characters set up by then! You may still jump in at any time if you'd rather join later. The game is only designed to last a few months, however, so don't delay too long!

I'm still setting everything up, but the bare bones for character creation, etc are up here:

That post will walk you through how to create a character. The World Information should go up tonight--everything else may take a few days. They're just there as guidlines, however, so I don't see why we can't start playing once we have at least five characters up and running.

I've been pondering a WG RP lately. I used to play with a few people here (hello!) back when I could get on aim for longer stretches of time. I loved creating fetish fiction with another person, but more than that, I loved reading what other people were coming up with. There was never enough structure for me, though--aim logs could only create so much story, for me.

So. I'm curious whether anyone would be interested in a WG rpg. It would be set on insanejournal and would use character journal entries (I love first person wg posts, don't you?), aim and e-mail logs, and journal threading. I was trying to think of the most all-inclusive game conceit and decided that the best idea would be to have it be pan-fandom. For example...

All fiction (whether it be literature, mythology, or television) shares a common creative spark. What if, through the main villain's meddling with that common spark, certain characters were yanked from their myths and plonked into a new shared reality. This reality would function much like a modern city, except its neighborhoods would be dedicated to different genres--a woodland for fantasy myths, a high-tech boro for futuristics, a neighborhood for contemporaries, and so on. Time runs differently here, with one week equalling one month. And (the all-important reason for wg) being drawn into this shared reality has a remarkably effect on the body's metabolism. The effect varies from person to person, of course--everyone is different--so while one character may put on massive amounts of weight in a short time, another may be more gradual, while another may not gain much at all. Due to the magic of this place, as well, character perceive their physical reality differently...meaning some may be aware of the change at once, some only gradually, and some not at all.

The plot would be largely character-based, with interactions going on across myths (Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker sitting down for tea? Scarlett O'Hara and Tifa having a mad lesbian affair?) but an overarching plot of tracking down and defeating the villain--and escaping back home--would move alongside the character plots.

Clearly I've been thinking about this a lot! But would anyone be interested in actually playing? It would have to be a locked community, but people could be free to post their rp logs elsewhere. I think it would be a neat way to play with the wg fetish and bring a lot of quality wg fiction into one place. *cough* I may already have a slashy character or two in mind.

It's been an age, hasn't it? I'm crawling out from under my rock to post something that took over my brain recently. No, sadly, it isn't another part of an ongoing story, though I suppose you could squint and say it's connected to the X-Men. It's about a superhero, at least?

Kali (what an original title, yes?) is about a team of female crimefighters. It has a BBW and reluctant weight gain. There may be forcefeeding--I'll see where the muse leads me.

In order to help clarify things, I'll go ahead and list the characters.

The General: So far, the single male in the series. He's the Charlie to the team's Angel's. If it turns into a male/female romance, he'll likely be the guy.

Kali: The initial heroine. Dark, sleek, and in possession of a mighty temper, Kali's power is simple physical might. She is a powerhouse, able to take down much larger opponents with skill and agility. She'll be the focus of most of the weight gain.

Echo: The BBW. She used to be the powerhouse of the team; however, an accident landed her in a wheelchair and years + depression added quite a few pounds. She struggles with her weight vs. her mental image of herself as an athletic crimefighter. Her powers are psychic mindlashes, though she works as research and communications now. She is heavily inspired by Batgirl/Oracle.

Haven: The healer. Haven is ghostly pale and slender and has a very big heart. She is something of an FA, though she'd never admit it, especially since her longtime female lover would very strongly disapprove.

Sunshadow: Haven's female lover. She's a beautiful, extremely athletic African American woman who controls shadows. She's also got a mean right hook, though she's not as agile as Kali. She fights to keep her body in top fighting shape despite a worrying tendency to soften up about the waist.

Freya: Soft, womanly, and beautiful with golden hair and warm eyes. Freya has the power of suggestion and a strong dose of empathy.

Tempest: The most enigmatic of the group. Not even the other team members know this newcomer well.

And I'm back, this time with fandom WG. I had some free time to write but I wasn't really feeling inspired to work on my ongoing series. (Though I promise that Baccanalia will have its third and final chapter up sooner rather than later.) I'd recently been enjoying the stories on porkish_pixies and decided, hell, why not try my hand at fandom WG?

I've been a geekgirl since I was little, so the X-Men were a natural choice. If you browse through my favorite pictures, you'll notice a lot of fannish WG appeals to me. I especially love "More of Mystique". I used that picture as inspiration as I was writing.

The thing I'm most excited about with Expanding Horizons is how many options there are for male and female expansion. The X-universe is huge, and the blend of possible pairings and gains is phenomenal. I could make it as long or as short as I wanted if I used each story to focus on a different gain. There's a lot of potential, and since each story will be self-contained, I won't have to worry about upsetting people by dragging on a WIP.

I'm curious, though--which characters are people most interested in seeing chubbified, and by how much? I've already been pondering who should be in my lineup, but I'd like to see if there are other fans with opinions!
