It's my goal over the next few years to read everything I can get my chubby paws on that involves plump to supersize characters in print.

I'm interested where SA messages come out, and how they do; but I'm also interested in negative portrayals of fat folks. As it's much easier to research, write, and talk about fat folks on the smaller end, I'm muchly curious about how we write about supersize people.

While my query will eventually span to all forms of communication and media, what I'm asking right now is best if focused on fiction. Do supersize characters exist in fiction? How are they portrayed? What stories, books, anthologies would you recommend?

(And don't mention Jennifer Weiner, love her, but got her covered).
