I have been a really long time lurker. Recently I have taken up writing due to some cathartic personal reasons. Forgive me if this is the wrong place for this, since I am not technically sharing any work. I tried to search around but did not come across anything exactly like I am talking about.
I have been writing a fantasy world story about a Naga and human woman. I am revising chapter 1 and it is currently ~15,000 words. With my current plan the story will be 50,000ish words for the "book". I might break it up into smaller chapters but currently can't figure out how to break the flows into logical stop points. It pulls inspiration from many things I have seen and read over the years, trying very much to not just blatantly copy anything.
I feel like my story walks the line between fantasy story and fetish story. I suppose any story can be a fetish story to someone? Has any other writers ran into this where you don't want your story to just be smut? As in, you have put what you feel is a stupid amount of effort into the characters, environment, and world building? I feel like my story would just be a tease if posted here based on the stories I have read. Then again I have also read other stories that were more subtle about the vore elements. So my worry is the pred/vore/size related contents would be too much for a "normal" person. When I am done with chapter 1's revisions, I think I was going to have my partner read it and see if they freak out. That could be a good baseline for me. I really tried to get into the headspace of the main character as they walk through their fear of the situation and how everything plays out. We'll see how long this takes me to get completed with my limited 'free' time.
I also am self aware that I do not participate here via posts or comments. I have made like 1 comment in however many years. I always had the mentality that what I was into was already strange enough, I did not need to engage with the communities. Felt like some form of cheating on my partner. Possibly just some misguided broken thing in me. Just hitting submit on this post has taken me a very long time.
Anyways, thanks for your time and if you take a moment to provide feedback or discussion on this topic.

Re: Naga story
Not sure how good of an idea this is but I guess you could write the fetishy one, then copy it and edit that to make a version that's a lot less fetishy? I think I've seen it done with some NSFW stuff on Ao3 but I could be misremembering.

Re: Naga story
Here's what I, a little baby writer, am thinking. Vore can be horrifying, and normies love horror. If you want "normal" people to connect to your story, I think you're on the right track with getting into the main character's head. Vore will be an easier pill to swallow if a character's grossed-out reaction to it mirrors the reader's.
Once the initial weirdness of eating someone whole has worn off, and the reader has bought into your world, that would be a good time to get more comfortable with the fetish side. Basically having the reader acclimate to vore at the same pace as the main character. And there are elements of vore that normies can appreciate. I've known a few who admit that bellies would be comfy inside.
Also I have a lot of free time if you want to send me your story. I'd be happy to read it and offer critique.
