There's a new image in the gallery. Funky O'Brian's "To the top"? Based on a story? Where can I find the story?

EDIT: Apparently, the website went down. Don't know if or when it will be back.
Probably the Tenchi inflation fanfic "No need for a blimp" it was very well written and captured the characters.
Well, I haped on about it enough on this board already as it's the first inflation story I read, but Sievert's 'Toys' is one of my faves.
I also have guilty pleasure in reading some of Jeff Bont's tales. 'Life on the Farm: Part 2' is particularly good.
Here's a link:

Is there a link to Sievert's Toys?
I can do better than that, here's a link to loads of classic inflation stories on a page set up by somebody called LVKane...
http://members.aol.com/lvkane/private/stories/stories.html
Toys, along with some of Sieverts other stories are there too.
My favourites also come from older stock. Virtuality, Floating and Donna's New Look II.
Notice the common themes: helium and floating, submission and no popping.
I like some of Balloonfan's new material too as male inflation/deflation is catching my attention more and more.
Cheers

My favorites...
The Airealist made it to my list of top picks many years ago. Rampant inflation, floating, and a skintight unitard. What more could you ask for? Classic.
The Ballad of Joe and Moira is another favorite. It was one of the first popping stories I ever posted to the site, it's a poem, and it's very well done.
i cant think well right now, but besaides all the classics, a kind deed and nanotech pneumatics r some of my all time favs
My favorites are Working Light and most of Kane's stories. I always loved how Kane writes his inflation scenerios down.
The Witch's Payback (Inflation) and Flora's Misbehaving Melons (BE)
Fantasy scenarios all the way.
for some reason i like the two from hourglass lover.
"Jealousy" and "Busty Babe Blows Herself to Pieces" by Hourglass Lover were two of the first inflation stories I ever read, and remain among my favorites. "Balloon Race" by Alec Deluxe also holds a special place in my heart.
I find that the stuff I go back to is the darker stuff--which kind of surprises me. JH-12 by Plowboy features multiple scenes of expansion and good descriptions, so that always comes to mind. GoodYear Home Pregnancy Test by the Happyguy is, in a sea of underrated stories by that author, another permanent fave.
Jenny the Balloon Girl by Captain Neil came up on a random hopeful Google search once and that was the moment I discovered the inflation community, but my favourite ever, it'd have to be JH-12 by Plowboy
JH-12 by Plowboy is definitely one of my favs. That story is awesome. Plowboy needs to come and write some more :). I also like "The Bloating" and a lot of stuff by The Happy Guy. We need all these authors from years ago that wrote the classic stuff to come back and write new stuff!!
To narrow it down to two:
"The Cargo" by Bob King (not the "Special Cargo" BE version)
"The Essence of Justice" by Boobarian
Add in pretty much any of LVKane's or Sievert's stories.
The previously mentioned JH-12 and also "Water Balloon" by David Sladky.
Donna's New Look II is my fav, and pretty much everything else L.V. Kane writes. :)
So with this many people digging JH-12...whatever happened to Plowboy? Anybody know?
I have no proof but that was me back in the day before I had an alias and all.
Believe it or not. Oh well.
I also have 3 stories up on my DA site as well as some new art as well...
Cool. A mystery resolved. Well seeing as you are also an accomplished artist, maybe you could illustrate it.
Here's another one I liked, Mondo the Magnificent
My first and favorite that I read here was "Charlie's Chocolate Factory". I love that story. I've tried getting in contact with The Replacement but I get mailer daemon. Oh well.
My second favorite is "The Interview". That's a great one also.
The Haunted Hotel by Mike i read it at wren spot when it was still up that story i loved to death also Breakout series by Sebbo
I too enjoy Hourglasslovers work. "Dark Red Hair" by Balloonfan has always been a particular favorite. Anything by Alec Deluxe where a female goes pop. LV mentioned a work by Champagne Moon, I enjoy their work as well. Does anyone know what happened to either Champagne or Hourglasslover? Are they still around, possibly under another alias?
"Essence of Justice" and "The Duel" are among the ones I go back to as well as the short series "Great Inflations."
my faves are 'just a piece of gum' by the man with the magic mind, most of blueberry janelle's stuff [on d.a.], and the berry series by roger 64 [very inventive with different berry types]. oh, and this tomato juice expansion i found on d.a., forgot its name.
So with this many people digging JH-12...whatever happened to Plowboy? Anybody know?
He popped :)
I have no proof but that was me back in the day before I had an alias and all.Believe it or not. Oh well.
I also have 3 stories up on my DA site as well as some new art as well...
You were Plowboy?! That's awesome!
i doubt it, Plowboy only ever made one story, and he's been missing for what, a year? o_o
Arcanumbot hasn't used the Plowboy alias in what must be almost a decade now. JH12 is a very old story.
Still, I'm happy to know that the original author now knows that people appreciated even his earliest works. :)
My favourites:
NFP by Luthor Kane
I can still recall the day several years ago when I was a young man, taking his first steps onto the internet. One of the first things I searched was 'inflatable breasts'. I found this story, loved it, and my love for inflation and breast expansion truly began.
Horace's Curse by Luthor Kane
Still one of my all time favourites. Simple, descriptive hourglass expansion, and likable characters to support it.
Bloaters by Kastemel
This is technically a weight gain story, but the comcept of drinking water to swell up is pretty neat. Plus, each girl in the story expands into a different body shape, which makes things far more interesting.
Happy Holly Days by Inflate123
Hourglass expansion and a great, well written romantic setting. What's not to like?
Spread the Joy by Mr Jolted
More of a pregnancy story, but with some insanely huge bellies. Seeing the girls banter and help each other cope their their growth (and seeing how they mess up and get even bigger) is great fun.
Government Tit by Steve Palmer
Tennessee Institute of Technology and Science
A pair of epic stories about a secret government agency which uses breast expansion to undertake undercover missions. Awesome idea, excellently written.
I'd Rather Be Flying by SvenS
Almost perfect. The expansion is well written, and it has a fantastic backstory to give it depth and meaning.
Girls by Airtankgirl5
Just a fun story about two girls inflating, simply but effectively done. Fun, cute and sexy all at once.
Liquid helium, no doubt.
Really? I'm honored!
Favorites? There are many writers out there whose work I really like. But let me post the ones from way back that really got my attention. "Eating Light" was the first actual BI story I discovered. It was one of the first stories that came up when I finally had the courage to type the keywords into a search engine - soon after I discovered Dr. Enlarge's "Balloons" and "The Lab".
Eating Light
The Lab
Donna's New Look I & II
Tales from the Bra 2
Airgasm
Body by Kaiser
Why She Cried (if ever a story needed a sequel!)
Flight (by Joe Monday)
The Brush
Mondo the Great
Airealist
Toys
Working Light
The Wonder-Full Bra
Virtuality
Happy Holly Days
Balloons (Dr. Enlarge)
The Impossible Escape
Castaways
Revenge of the Balloons by JB is one of my favorite stories even to this day. Sievert's Toys and the Stargazer by LutherVKane are also high on my list.
Aw, now I'm digging into the past for SvenS's list. Some of those are so old they're new again...which is great! Fresh stories! :)
Just remembered another old favorite -- Toobin' by Strigoii. Girls who get inflated and like it? Yes please.
There is one line in there that always makes me laugh and I have never known if it was intentional humor or just an unusual place and sentence structure for an analogy. It's the line that ends with "baking."
Mine would have to be 'Virtuality'. Always liked that one. Second and third would have to be "Horace's Curse, Part II,'Donna's New Look, Part 1 and 2', and 'Expanding Horizons'.
