[Limelight] Plus Sized Female Character!

I was wondering that… did someone answer this?
I’m working on a story which I intend to publish once I finish coding the whole thing and I imagined one of my characters to be plus size before this… I’m already coding chapter 11, but I don’t know what to do about her now… :thinking:

Well I have experimented in some of my unpublished limelight stories and basically what I did was:

1. Create a plus sized character to replace the character I originally made before the update

2. Replace every trace of their script name in each chapter with the new character’s script name (I used ctrl+F to do this)

3. Change the display name of the new plus sized character to the original character’s name and take all of the original characters outfits and make them plus sized outfits

I haven’t tried this on my published story as yet though :upside_down_face:

That’s what I was going to do too, but you can’t blindly trust on ctrl+f because it will replace the name in dialogues too… what a nightmare :sob:

If you hit ctrl+F, then hit all. Just type the character name in all caps, then you can replace the ones that doesn’t need to be in all caps.

Yeah I noticed that, you’ll have to go through your script again

I think you can set it to match case and whole words to avoid that.

I do still feel troubled about a decent amount of misuse I’ve already seen with the plus size body shape (really? it’s barely been a week), but gotta say, seeing people feel represented or even just experience quiet joy with the new body feels good. Really good. I didn’t expect to feel this pleased while seeing the negative things I knew would happen with it… happen.

Hope to see some well-written canonically plus size MCs in the near future. Happy writing, guys.

Creating a story based on the 80’s, can’t wait til we get the 80’s themed clothing for plus, I’m so excited for this! Much love to anybody that is plus sized and skinny, all body sizes deserves love and I think I might have an idea to what will be the size in between plus and skinny. Anyways, I’ll show screenshots of both of my mcs soon!
