Out of all the devices used in WG fiction (and non-fiction), one of my favorite has been that in which someone hasn't been seen in quite a while they have gained a surprisingly hot amount of weight. I think I like this device because the story doesn't have to trudge through, or weirdly avoid, the gaining of every few pounds. Yet at the same time a character can gain serious weight in a realistic amount of time (say, 100lbs in 2 years) with immediate shock and impact.
It's where fantasy and realism come together really easily.
What are you guys' favorite stories like this? Here are a few I've loved:
The Family (Norseman)
The Lovely Teacher (Norseman)
Coming Home, Again (Dan 422)
Au Pair (Dave)
Any more that should be added to this list??
