Personally? It doesn’t really interest me as something I want to have happen to me, but I don’t really embody most of these fantasies myself, so that’s not really all that strange. As far as my stories go, I certainly enjoy including weight gain, but I’ve always found extreme weight gain to be a bit repetitive and dull as the story. This is because, usually, getting a character to that size takes a while, because for people who like that fetish, part of what they like is the slow, but noticeable growth. So a lot of extreme weight gain stories end up reading like: “He was skinny…then he was chubby…then he was obese…then he was really obese….then he was immobile.” Which doesn’t really progress anywhere.
Personally, I like using extreme weight gain as a form of bondage–a way to keep someone from moving or doing things they used to be able to do. I don’t really have the patience for growth stories though, unless it’s paced alongside other kinds of transformations, like filth/slob or age progression, or if it has a larger plot line it can rely on.
