Are you into magical/instantaneous weight gain? Or is that 'Cheating' & spoils the gradual growing thrill of getting fatter; pound by slow sensual pound, calorie by captivating calorie, morsel by mouth-watering morsel. Stringing out your delusional sense of denial indefinitely. Assuring yourself you're not fat, can always slim down later & quit gorging whenever ya want. The comforting complacency of your inexorably insatiable appetites helping your obesity gradually grow & grow without concern shock & alarm. And no jarring moment of sudden, surprised revelation letting slip just how hoggishly HUGE you've become, to risk jolting you outta your fattening fun!
I find that magical/instantaneous weight gain is satisfying when the weight gain or TF is sometimes unexpected or involuntary. Suddenly blorping into a blubberball is a lot like those cartoony weight gain tropes that can be alluring when it's done right, with that sudden transformation both shocking and highly contrasted with their previous shape, i.e. Ludmilla's dragon TF. In my opinion, you absolutely have to include some post-TF content to really explore how that character is reacting to their new body, whether it's horror or happiness, or a mixture of both. It's hot to combine the sudden drastic change that might have happened because of an arbitrary curse or revenge with a longer story of adaption to a permanent TF where somebody is now adjusting to growing half a ton of fat on themselves, or more.
When I write weight gain stories, sudden WG is just another mode of transformation: the changes are fast, overwhelming and uncontrollable. This feels like a more like wobbly and soft offshoot of the TF kink rather than feederism, which is much more about savouring the journey and experiencing every new pound in all its squishy glory.
Feederism and the gradual WG experience is sexy because it can describe in juicy details all of the changes to a body over time as well as the impacts of fat on lifestyle, energy levels, appetite and so much more. The psychological element of gradual WG is also exciting, with an initial curiosity and apprehension leading perhaps to denial until, finally, they give into all their piggish desires. The slow pacing of weight gain allows for a contrast in how fat changes on the body relative to the person's weight, starting off as a chubby or curvy beauty and ending with eating themselves into immobility or at the very least a waddling 400 lbs heifer trying to handle every day tasks. All angles and stages of WG are hot, and you can build kinky anticipation much more easily with the slow gain.
You also see a mix of the two quite a lot. The first 300 lbs are slow and sensual, and the final 700 lbs to turn them into room sized piles of flub happens in the last 2 pages!
