And, here is the first chapter of what'll be the new ongoing Patreon-exclusive project for the foreseeable future! Each month (from now on, the 15th for $8 and up Patrons, and the 30th for $4 folks) there will be one new chapter, telling the tale of Maxine and Nova, plus an additional bonus scene for folks at the $8 and up level (the bonus scenes will be fun and saucy, but not plot-significant, so other folks won't need to be all like "WHAT DID I MISS!?")
There'll be a number of TWISTS AND TURNS in the series, but to set it apart from the previous Patreon project, this story will be more low-key than "Big City" was, with laws of reality instead being maybe bent to be a bit more accomodating here and there, but none of the wildly over-the-top sci-fi/fantasy elements that "Big City" had. The rate of weight gain in this will also be less extreme, while still hopefully catering to multiple tastes; I assume it doesn't spoil too much to say right here and now that BOTH leading ladies will be getting fatter as the story goes on, but they specifically have very different starting points.
Fans of the unrealistically enormous can enjoy the hyper-gluttonous ways of the immobile Maxine as she becomes an ever-fatter spoiled blob, while fans of the less intense sizes can enjoy the initially-scrawny Nova's more realistic weight gain adventures as she learns to enjoy herself and indulge more.
Also, while the overall thrust of the plot has been planned out in advance, the outline is loose by design for there to be plenty of room for stuff to be added along the way, so by all means, make use of your PATREON-GIVEN RIGHTS as a patron to chime in with comments and requests about any specific scenes, moments, or plot developments you'd like to see featured as things go on; can't promise everything will be doable, but I will try to make as many readers' fat-lady dreams come true as possible!
