AI Image Generation: Impressions and Examples
As Maverick noted in the December State of the Patreon, we recently subscribed to an AI image generation service, NovelAI. Our objective was just to learn a bit more about it via some personal experience and experimentation. We know this type of AI tool is a subject of controversy, particularly among illustrators and other creator types. Asaragi, an illustrator whose assistance we’ve commissioned before, even made a cute, on-point little sketch...

The Harem on the Hill (Part LXXV)
Rather than rushing headlong into an ambush, you open the security app on your phone and scroll through the feeds from your security cameras. Fifty cameras monitor your property--half are in the basement watching over your girls, and the remaining are affixed strategically throughout your estate. Between them, nearly every square foot of your home, and much of the woods surrounding it, are visible to you at any given moment.It seems you made a sm...
The Harem on the Hill (Part LXXIV)
Before Bernadette and Tina can join forces, you slip into the sitting room and creep along the wall toward the antechamber. The open floorplan of your mansion, with loads of windows and natural light, is great for entertaining and for views of the valley; however, it isn't great for sneaking around. Glares, shadows, and reflections follow your every move.Fortunately, you have the home-field advantage. In a large window near the front door, yo...
Behind the Scenes: cover development for "One Night Adventure: The Tutor"
Last month, Riptoryx made available for download a 70+ page PDF showcasing concepts, drafts, revision commentary, and final versions for the various in-game illustrations commissioned to accompany "One Night Adventure: The Tutor." However, as comprehensive as his dissertation was, it didn't delve into the creation of the game's cover art, which served as the template for Silverpathfider's fabulous in-game illustrations. This w...
"The Party" (A One Night Adventure Tale)
Nota bene: The attached short story is adapted from Mavrip's first-person weight-gain adventure game, “The Party.” We primarily cobbled it together for publication through other sites; however, I wanted to post it here for patrons interested in reading a "novelized" tale from the game without all those pesky choices. It's a rather vanilla and PG-rated story arc compared to some, but it turned out pretty well and there's li...
State of the Patreon (11/18/22)
Howdy Patrons:We hope you’re doing well and that your holiday season--whatever you celebrate--is off to a flying start. This time of year everyone should stop counting calories and start counting blessings…and we’re very fortunate to have 74 of them here at Mavrip! Support from patrons like you has allowed us to indulge our inner pervert and create unique weight-gain-oriented projects (narrations, multi-media games, etc.) that you won’t f...
The Harem on the Hill (Part LXXIII)
Despite a belly bloated to bowling-ball proportions, Bernadette scurries into the antechamber. If the frustrated grunts that follow are any indication, she's trying to negotiate the myriad of locks on the front door. You hadn't bothered engaging them all after returning from town, but you're not worried--there's more than enough to keep her occupied as you remove your phone from your pocket and saunter after her.Only she's not...
“The Lesson Plan” (An ONA: The Tutor Prequel)
(Nota Bene: Happy Halloween! Here's the second prequel vignette for our latest weight-gain adventure game, One Night Adventure: The Tutor. This scene takes place in the months prior to the in-game action, expands on its occurrences, and alludes to other tales from the "Maverick-verse." Enjoy!)***Shelby Jackson stared at the pink rubber ball in her lap. “Do you really think this will work?”Across the room, Mary Ellen White, a pale ...
The Harem on the Hill (Part LXXII)
"Only if you eat them all."Tina frowns. "Fine," she says, huffing to the kitchen for another donut box. "Play with your new toy."You face Bernadette. Her shoulders are slumped and her eyes are downturned to the floor--assuming she can see it beyond her ridiculously distended belly. It's smaller than Tina's, of course, but the relative svelteness of her frame makes it look freakish.Stepping closer, you lift Bernadet...
State of the Patreon (10/17/2022)
Dear Patrons:With the heat of summer behind us (at least for most of us), we've officially entered the perfect time of year for weight-gain enthusiasts--when colder weather and a relentless series of holiday treats and feasts can transform the hardened gym rat into a flabby tabby. It's a scary proposition for most non-feedee folks, which is why Halloween, in particular, makes a compelling backdrop for the darker fiction you'll find he...
Behind the Scenes: illustration development for "One Night Adventure: The Tutor"
Attached is a roughly 70-page document showcasing concept framing, line art drafts, revision commentary, and final versions for the various in-game illustrations commissioned to accompany "One Night Adventure: The Tutor."Bringing commissioned works from concept to completion can be a complex collaborative process. We've discussed the issue before. If that creative process interests you, or if you'd just like to see some (slightly ...
Brooke: The Internet's First Weight-Gaining Superstar (Part II)
Last month, I previewed to patrons the contents of two “private videos” I procured from the mighty BBW Brooke, many a burgeoning weight-gain enthusiast’s first crush in the late 90s/early 2000s. She was certainly mine. I visited her website daily back then, despite dial-up charges that could reach $30/hour, and had no qualms mailing personal checks to Manitoba, in the dark days before PayPal and digital downloads, for the promise of custom-...
“The Cram Session” (An ONA: The Tutor Prequel)
(Nota Bene: This is the first in a series of prequel vignettes for our latest weight-gain adventure game, One Night Adventure: The Tutor. These take place in the months prior to the in-game action, expand on its occurrences, and make allusions to other tales from the "Maverick-verse.") “Do you think I should say something?”Kaye Jackson glanced from the dinner table into the living room where her daughter, Shelby, sat on the sofa in a ...
State of the Patreon (9/16/22)
Dear Patrons:Happy Friday! We hope you’re doing well and having a September to remember. If not, fret not! There’s plenty going on here at Mavrip that will surely bring a smile to your face :):*This weekend, I plan on putting the finishing touches on the first in a series of prequel vignettes involving everyone’s favorite High School Senior sexpot, Shelby Jackson, star of our latest One Night Adventure game, The Tutor. These short tales wil...
The Harem on the Hill (Part LXXI)
For a moment, both women stare at you, uncertain how to proceed. ThenBernadette steps forward. She removes her blue blazer, which became unbuttoned during her tangle with Tina, and tosses it on a barstool, then she begins unbuttoningher starchywhite blouse. She seems eager to get out of it,which isn't surprising since she’s basically spent the last few months in a robe and slippers.What's surprising is how seductive her undressing is. T...
The Harem on the Hill (Part LXX)
Tina grins slyly as you lift Bernadette off of her. The librarian is heavy. The thickness of her waist evidences that she's digested more than just the litany of literature at her disposal during her tenure in your harem."Bitch!" Bernadette kicks at Tina, but you pull her away before she can connect. Last year, Tina would have been on her feet in a flash, pressing her advantage, but today she merely turtles on the floor, grasping for ...
State of the Patreon (8/16/2022)
Dear Patrons:Fall is in the air! No, I’m not talking about the weather—I’m referring to the tumble from grace you can expect from the gaining gals here at Mavrip! “How so?” you ask? Read on!*First of all, we hope you enjoyed our recent tribute to Brooke, the Internet’s seminal weight-gaining BBW. I didn’t realize just how much good stuff I had in my archives so stay tuned for a “Part II” at some point. Fiction will always be our...
Nerf Effect - a little "proof of life" update
In case you're wondering: yes, I'm still working on "Nerf Effect."While I prefer keeping things mostly under wraps until the goodies are more fully baked, it's probably past time to share a little peek at some of the text. If nothing else, it'll show there is actually progress being made on the substantive story. Check out the attached .PDF to see a brief, excerpted draft scene from what likely will be an early-game (at le...
Brooke: The Internet's First Weight-Gaining Superstar
I’ve written about my first cyberfootstepsinto the World Wide Webof weight-gainbefore. Howa few strokes of a keyboard (and belchesfrom a modem) transportedteenage me--whose “porn”heretofore consisted of primitive drawings and reversing“before and after” diet adsin magazines--intoa melting pot of weight-gain-orientedmorphs, photos, and stories.Asilluminating and liberating as thatexperience was, however,it stilldidn’t seem real. Sure, ...

Congratulations! Here is your bonus vote in the latest chapter of our serial weight-gain adventure, "The Harem on the Hill."What do you do?
The Harem on the Hill (Part LXIX)
After saying goodbye to Tony Richardson with a handshake and a check, you enter your house to find Tina making a pot of coffee in the kitchen. You give her a hug. Her girth keeps your hands from touching, but their search for one another against her spongy back is pleasant.“How was your time in the slammer?”"The food was terrible and they didn’t allow conjugal visits.” Tina puckers, but can’t reach your mouth. Apparently, her tip-to...
State of the Patreon (7/18/22)
Dear Patreon Pals:Whew! The dog days of summer have arrived and I, for one, couldn’t be happier. Let’s just say it was a rough Spring for Maverick. After ducking Covid for two years, ithit my family hard beginning in April. I also sustained a back injury that made itthat much worse. (Evercough or sneeze with a back injury? Not fun.)Anyway, I don’t want to linger on my personal drama,but I did want to explain why content has been a bitspotty...

The Harem on the Hill (Part LXVIII)
Nota Bene: I sincerely apologize for the absence of THOTH over the past two months. It has been a very challenging time for me (some of which I'll explain in this month's State of the Patron report); however, most of my issues have been resolved and, though I'm not quite 100%, I'm much closer than I was a few weeks ago. To make it up to you here is an extra-long chapter with some plump and juicy choices at the end. Enjoy!"Your...
Fiddling around with super heroine ruination (again): Captain Marvel
If you’ve been here for a while, you’ve probably noticed that Maverick and I share an affinity for the intersection of super heroine characters and weight gain. Recently, while discussing such characters and related cosplay scenarios with another likeminded friend, I wanted to exemplify a particular look I had in mind for Captain Marvel.An illustration by the talented Oda-Lee leapt to mind, wherein he recreated an original comic book scene bu...
