Title: Parking Lot Pimpin

Very interesting story. Your 5 things are hilarious. I admit that I normally do not read stories about black women that do not look like me (ie. big women) but I do occasionally. I just don't like thin/fit bashing. I have tried to find a story about a big woman falling in love with a big man because to me that is more realistic. Now of course there are exceptions as everyone has preferences (my brother himself is what you could call a chubby chaser and my brother is very fit) but like does attract like but women get mad when men say that if they work out they like for their women too as well and not be fat. Hell I work out and like for my man to be as fit as I but somehow men are not bothered by such statements......

Anyway I think I will continue even though I can not physically relate to the heroine in size or hair (I never wear weve but I do perm my hair twice a year).

A good story is a good story and that is really I am here for, my personal feelings aside about weight and health issues that plaguing the black community in huge numbers are not important for a fictional story.

Love your writing style and I am really enjoying this story but don't forget your other one!!!!



Author's Response:

Thank you for finding TBK interesting, each time I get a modicum of a compliment I turn into a blushing school girl. 

 

I would say that I don't read stories about thin women or women with flat tummies (since thin has turned into a relative description of a woman with not gut), but they are the norm. However, I do reserve the readers right to stop readng when a story loses it's realism. Like when a woman is too perfect and the writer is delusional. For instance when women have caramel skin, light eyes, perfect hour glass shapes, 3A hair, wealthy, smart, funny, down to earth, loyal, etc. etc. Like damn does she do anything wrong?!!! 

 

So I can relate to your reading preferences in that sense. Of course, if the story is good enough I put aside all biases in effort to enjoy some good literature! I don't find bigger men sexually attractive but I do appreciate that there are some handsome ones! It's so comlpex. I actually prefer men who are super skinny and my friends think it's hilarious. I find it quite comical myself. Yet, I do notice that mostly big men like me. So I understand what you mean by finding a story with two plus sized main characters. That would definitely be an interesting read!

 

I actually want to lose weight because I like more fit men and I can understand how they want that in a woman. I don't get mad when men have preferences, I think it's more upsetting being crossed out of the "attractive" category. 

 

Anyway, I don't wear weave either but I love it's versatility. I don't have a perm, but I love it too. I love black hair!!!!! 

 

I'm glad you can see potential in this story despite your personal feelings and I intend to take into account the unfair biases shown towards plus size women especially in fiction. I think we're required to view skinny as the enemy and healthy as an excuse to hate ourselves. Thats why I put such a stress on Camille being active and healhty despite her size simply because even if you're not losing weight or "fit", it's no excuse to not watch out for yourself. 

 

I haven't forgotten the Blue Brothers. I just got really insecure with the feedback and it kind of drained me thank you for liking both!

Yes, I agree! It is time for Ryan to "Man Up" and engage in conversation with Camille. If he doesn't someone real is going to step up and grab his good and plenty!

Title: Fat Chance

Can she please get rid of the weave :[



Author's Response:

Why does she need to get rid of it? I thought if I made sure to mention it was weave and not her long flowing hair that it would have more realistic feel...besides, it's April in Houston. I'm not having her rock her natural hair just to get soaked then hear damage from our shady ass weather. She will wear her hair eventually, but there will be protective styles.

Loved the chapter!  Re cold feet & warm blanket...don't you know anything???  I've been doing the OFO since I was a kid.

Body under the blanket but leave One Foot Out.  It's like heaven.  Just OFO not two.  TFO will make your whole body cold.

Keep the chapters coming and the next one BETTER include them in conversation.  I'm a skilled online magician and I know how to make all of your blankets disappear.

RE KK or as Kevin Hart likes to call them when he's in the room "KKK", I completely ignore them b/c of his mother.  I never met her but she was a college professor, she taught Kanye enough values that he funds nonprofit programs to encourage youth to graduate.  He started doing that years ago thru his mom's "foundation."  

In reality, how could any mother accept her.  A magazine (not a sensational celebrity gossip one) compiled a list of her relationships and marriages.  The gave up at 17 & also listed the relationships she was in while having another man on the side.  What praticulary scared me those was all of the rappers who admitted to sleeping w/her.  5 of Kanye's friends.  Can we sing Hoe Hoe Hoe?  I don't want to see her humiliated but neither do I want her friendship or her in my house.

I do wish that Kanye would get back on his medicine.  Even though I like just a few of his songs, he is so incredibly talented.  It's scary.

Have you watched the 45 minute music video "Runaway"?  It has a 15 minute ballet in it that's just gorgeous.  Just incredible!

Sorry I ran on and on.  Do try the OFO and let me know if it solves your problem.

Have a Great Day!

;)

I can't wait to find out how he will approach Camille.  She will probably think he is trying to trick her but hopefully she will give the poor guy a chance.  Ryan is just as cautious as Camille with dating.

I'm annoyed with any female that hates on another for no reason regardless of their race.

Insecurity doesn't discriminate.  People of all sizes, shapes and colors have insecurities.

Title: Gym Rat

the kermit NOOOOOOO you're killing me here I can't with this LMAO and coming from the caribbean it was most definitely weird with people having issues with all sizes of women in America. Lawd I remember when I was a teen I was highly self-conscious of my bones because I was around women with so many curves...oh how I wanted those thighs and big butts that mostly all the females in my family back home had. 

To sum it up, idk what's wrong with everyone else. Big, Thick, slim,bones (as I was so affectionately called LAWD)  whatever they want to call it It's all damn bountiful and respected so people need to get on that bandwagon and stop body shaming women.

Right rant over.

Can't wait for the next update! Woot!! Bring it on

Yes yep yeah I love you for putting all my thoughts down in this story also this story is a blessing in the midst of the rest (no shade) the only thing that could make me not like it even a little bit would be if you cast the one black man as the bad guy lol but I have a feeling you do that and I only pray that the sex scene is just as good(dirty talk is key ;))

I really like this chapter and how Camille stood up to that superficial asshole  who thought that because of her size she should be put down and mocked because she"s "different".  That type of behavior is not cool.  Ryan needs to find out who those fools were, kick them out of the gym using the excuse that they were harassing and making the other paying clients uncomfortable with their posturing and fat shaming and this is a place where this type of negative behavior is not tolerated.  I can't wait for Camille and Ryan's first real conversation and interaction.

I agree with your annoyed list of the week especially # 1 and # 5.  We as black women should try and uplift each other, not put them down.  We might not like one another, but we should respect each other enough to accept each other's differing experiences, views and opinions.

 #5 has happened to me so many times.  It is really hard to be comfortable when some parts of you is hot and some are cold.  There has to be a balance somewhere, but I don't know what it is.
