Possibly yes. Many people would like to transfer their mind into immortal form (few can afford it, though)
Don't know when the next part will be posted, hope sooner then later.
Realistic inflatable people? (sci-fi inflation)
I always wanted to describe a scenario
- Featuring inflatable people.
- Being physically realistic and still featuring something more then suits and belly inflation. No magic too.
- The most important and difficult part. Realistic motives. Nor 'just because author wants them to be inflatable', nor 'just because they like to be inflatable'. I.e. assuming that in distant future people are inflatable fetishists is forbidden as too easy and stupid. Accidental transformation into inflatable is rather goofy too, lets leave this trick to comix genre, any way it is just a version of 'just because author wants them to be inflatable' which is outlawed.
I've made a story which more or less solves the problem. But thats from my point of view, so I'd like to hear from independent people, does such a twist look plausible?

Warning no overinflation will happen (at least in the first story), I've just explained how my main character has got into trouble.

Ho, ho. I know how to introduce inflatable girl into plot.
She will appear in the second or third chapter.
Though, I still do not see any reasons for them to inflate their bodies seriously beyond normal size. Thats always problem.

It's a very interesting concept, and well written, I look forward to 'meeting' some female balloons.
I think though that you may be barking up the wrong tree in trying to create an inflation story where the inflation isn't there just because the author wants it to be, despite the fact that inflation was the whole reason why the story was written.
When you set out to write a story then you must decide what you want from the story and then keep these things in mind as you write it. You have set out to write a story about inflation. If you are trying to create a story that any average Joe could read and not realise that it was written by an inflation fetish and inflation was the primary motive then I don't think you can succeed without somehow assuming the mind of a person who has never heard of such a fetish.
What I'm saying is that I can understand that sometimes the inflation element of the story does seem really gratuitous or crowbarred-in; but inflation will always be the seed behind any plot that any of us conceive, so why try and hide it?

Thanks very much for attention.
It will be more inflation later, as to hiding inflation, it is not intended, I just had other priorities in the first part - setting the stage for next events.
And yes, I often try to write stories to let average Joe read them and not be disgusted. I.e. inflation kept at level acceptable by non-fetish audience.

Well, Roald Dahl didn't seem to do that and it never seems to have been perceived as a problem by the mainstream.
I like what you've written but i have a philosophical quandry: is this actually a person? Do they have subjectivity?
I've considered combining inflation and robot fetishism myself, though i haven't myself got a robot fetish.
Finally, in a sense we are already realistically inflatable!

Yes, he is a self-aware person. Actually no difference between copy and original in the beginning. Though, difference will start to increase as time goes and copied mind experiences new things, gets different habits et.c.

OK, i could get really bogged down here!
Anyway, i enjoyed it, it was well-written and it's a "page turner". Thanks for writing it.

I've always had ideas for how to make inflation more feasible (physically that is), although still very hard.
Obviously it would require extensive operations upon the body (or perhaps splicing?), but put simply, the idea behind it is pretty simple: allow the organs you want to contain more, and prevent inflation from doing lasting damage to the body.
So for instance, the stomach could be encased in stronger material, to allow it to hold more. But to make it more safe, vital organs (that you don't want inflated) must be protected - for instance, a layer between the stomach and the lungs so that they don't get crushed.

I think one answer would be to introduce the air somewhat under the skin. There's a potentially large space there which wouldn't affect the other organs and the main risks would be infection and gas embolism. You could even get round those by using something like sterile Ringer's solution or a very large silicone bladder.

Left aside damage to internal organs, just normal skin can not stretch at that pace. Thats why boobjob is separated into series of surgeries adding modest amount of silicone at each time.

There's a lot of skin on a human body and a lot of slack to be taken up. Laparoscopies happen quickly, for example. I can puff my cheeks out in a fraction of a second. I think there's more flexibility than might at first be apparent. If not, maybe the answer is very slow inflation, over days or weeks.

I've posted at DA a new story (this time I thought through a plot beyond just few chapters). This is in the same world with 'Offer you can not refuse'
http://bubbleguy.deviantart.com/#/d5fq68t
Fetish part:
So far only inflatable guys (and mostly deflation). Inflated muscles. Quite erotic and sensitive, but no sex (in first chapter at least).
Sci-Fi setting:
Transfer of mind into artificial body. It is very expensive, copying mind is cheap, but building body costs a lot. To make it profitable, there is quite cunning and even evil business schema behind it.
Eudamonic society with female prevalence, all happiness, long but quite pointless lives - beautiful emptiness. No firearms and violence. This looks like paradise on the first glance, but is in fact a distopia.
Returning men from old 'barbaric' ages is met with fear by society possesed by feminist prejudices: thats why Company decides to use very specific kind of artificial bodies - utlimately harmless.

I prefer the artificial body idea, partly because it leaves at least tiny chance for me, to become inflatable myself.

I've posted a new part "Hot sexy math" it continues "Right man in the wrong time"
I like this! Good scenario! Bravo! When are we going to meet other inflatable people? Will there be any woman?
