This is basically a bit of a worried question from a concerned inflation admirer, i've been seeing of the few stories we've been getting on da and other sites, the majority or sometimes all of it tend to be popping and honestly...this is getting slightly tiresome.

At first, I thought popping was okay but most stories basically follow the "read once only" rule to me so i only enjoyed some in the long run, then i came across another story known as the Aerostocian..Aero...Aerostodian Conflict? I dunno, anyways I read this like 5-10 times: not because i liked it.

But because i didn't know how to feel about it at all, it confused me, it made me have mixed feelings, it just made me feel off...

So i go searching for some stories not containing popping and much to my annoyance i had already read every single story on the site without popping prior and can remember it word for word: so the feeling remained, and no matter what i did nothing could shake it but time.

I suppose i should leave it off there: no offense to people who enjoy popping, i enjoy it to but only when i feel morbid or at the least have an oddity in my normal expansion desires.

But when nearly every story you can find contains popping the novelty of the concept starts to wear out especially when normally you prefer non-popping more sensual female expansion.

So i ask if i'm the only one noticing this? is it odd that story writers tend to resort to popping a good amount of the time...or am i just looking into this to hard?

I think you are probably right. I suggest writing the stories you want to read, that's what I did.

I never put popping in my stories. I don't like it, it's not my scene. As far as I know, airtankgirl5 and heliumgirl77 don't put popping down either.

I don't think I've seen THAT many popping stories around, both here and on DeviantArt. (Though perhaps I'm not looking closely enough) At the very least, I think we're getting an even amount of popping and non popping these days.

To throw my own two pence in, I'm not a fan of popping at all. I think it's cruel (I'm here for a sexy story, not to see some poor sap explode in a bloody mess) and it's a lazy way to finish a story.

t-danger, you speak truth in your two cents, to many times do i see a lazy finish with just a BOOM! or a KABLAM! or some other verse for exploding besides actually describing it, now freakingweirdo's stuff may be gory but atleast he bothers to describe it, whereas certain writers just top everything off with one or more BOOM! 'sound' effects.

I dont know how you can say that when I havent read a new inflation story IN MONTHS.

And, by saying you are an "admirer" you are somehow saying us that like popping are not?

And just so you guys no, the "thing" about popping is not the popping itself, but leading up to it. The "BOOM" is there when writers think the suspense has been enough; others imply the boom in their stories, but they dont actually write it.

So dont criticize something under false premises, when you dont understand it. It has nothing to do with "lazyness". Popping has been thoroughly discussed in this forum, so if you are a newbie, please dont talk out of your ass.

The subject of this thread actually surprises me. If, as you suggest, popping stories have become the norm, I certainly hadn't noticed the shift. In my personal experience, they've always been fairly difficult to find, and tended to be the purview of a small handful of authors. The polarizing effect that the subject of popping tends to have on the community is almost certainly one of the reasons for this.

I fully understand that not everyone is comfortable with popping - for some, the morbid implications of bursting are just impossible to ignore. I'm reasonably fond of it myself, provided it isn't done sadistically or gruesomely. Granted, this opinion is almost certainly biased, given that my introduction to inflation was the Aesop's Fable 'The Frog and the Ox', which features bursting as its central theme. Even taking that into account, I've never found the re-readability of popping stories suffers as a result of the boom at the end. My focus may have a great deal to do with this - for me, the highlight of most inflation stories is the process itself. Naturally, a decent plot is essential, but a well-crafted description of the expansion/inflation process itself - and the vivid mental images and emotions it evokes - has always been a vital component of the story for me. The experience of reading through these descriptions is half the fun for me, and unless the prose itself becomes dull due to repetition, I will often find myself coming back to the same stories time and again, just for the enjoyment of experiencing the inflation one more time.

How to describe the explosion itself is a bit of a thorny issue. Too much detail in that particular area can draw out the more morbid implications of the process to a degree that even fans of bursting find discomforting. Sometimes, a simple 'BOOM!' at the end is the most effective way to end things, as it leaves a great deal to the reader's imagination, and acts as a kind of sharp cut-off point for the scene. That having been said, I've found that this is only really effective in cases where the scene ends with the boom itself - the story must either end there, or jump to a new scene. Attempting to continue the scene immediately after the explosion, without switching locations, requires at least a bit more description. The 'Ker-POW!' itself can act as a starting point, but unless it's elaborated on to some extent, the continuation will tend to feel forced and anti-climactic.

I'm not actually sure how much of a point I've made here - I mostly just felt compelled to voice my opinions on this particular issue. If I've been inadvertently talking in circles, I apologize. Long story short, I haven't honestly noticed an over-abundance of popping stories, though personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a few more, provided they're well put together.

Ladies and gentleman here we have a perfect example of taking something way to personally.

I jumped the shark when i said laziness but however the boom effect may be done well in the right hands however in others it is also a get-out-of-proper-prose scapegoat.

As for admirer i meant as inflation as a whole: i like inflation art and stories of both popping or non but it really depends on my mood, however i normally have a preference for non.

In rebutt to your attitude i have this to say: what crawled up your ass and died? maybe not to that extreme, but still, what makes you feel so passionate about it? sure, if you're a fan i can see this being mistaken as a personal attack but you're hyping up aspects of b.i. to be something that i "don't get" like it's some sort of mystical grand-all-be-all thing.

I don't know how long you've been around the community but I'll leave you with this. The popping or not popping argument is very old and very very personal for some. It is an issue that has divided many opinions and created very angry arguments. After all of that don't be suprised if someone jumps you for talking about something that appears to be running down popping stories. I'm sure you didn't mean it in a overly terrible fashion but just be aware of the bad feelings around.

Don't climb the tree if you can't run naked through the kitchen.

darksider is just another of the ignoramus' who we tend to get on this board. For the record I didn't read all through his 'same old bullcrap' post but I get the jist. He has a fetish, many people judge him for his fetish, he also judges other people who have similar fetishes for him. I did also notice he tried to justify it by pretending he is some literary critic riling against lazy story writing... sorry darksider, go away and learn the basic rules of grammar and then 1) I might expend the effort trying to translate your piss-poor nonsense into something resembling English, and 2) You will be taken a lot seriously claiming to be a literally critic IF YOU CAN SPEAK ENGLISH!!!

Anyway, what is worth commenting on is his complaint that there are no non-popping stories coming through in the community... maybe he's basing his entire analysis of the community on what he saw on the 'Pop In' yahoo group or freakinweirdo's DA page, or maybe he saw 1 popping story, didn't like it and lazily decided to troll about how the internet is full of popping stories and they are objectionable.

Well he can take his grain of rice sized penis and his FOX TV education and troll someone else because he isn't welcome here.

This thread has wandered well beyond the boundaries of civilized discourse. I'm locking it until I figure out what to do with it. I hope all parties involved will use the time to cool off.
