The availability of no-cost, amateur-created illustrated narratives focused on growth or inflation themes within fandoms constitutes a specific subgenre of online content. These works, generally distributed digitally, often feature characters from established franchises or original creations undergoing physical transformations. An example includes a digital comic depicting a well-known superheroine gradually increasing in size due to an unknown energy source.
This type of content provides a creative outlet for artists and writers interested in exploring themes of body image, power dynamics, and physical transformation in a visual medium. The accessibility afforded by cost-free distribution allows creators to connect with a potentially large audience and receive feedback on their work. Historically, such amateur productions were limited to print fanzines; however, the internet enables wider dissemination and easier access.
