Like your other story, the premise that you have here is both innovative and compelling. On the one hand, we have a protagonist that can really handle himself, a strong, witty fellow who presumably won't just roll over to a giantess's whims. Naturally, readers are excited to see how the inevitable "final battle" between Thornton and whichever girl develops into the main villain turns out. This is a breath of fresh air when compared to the typical dominant/submissive dynamic that comprises 99% of the stories here. (The only exception that comes immediately to mind is openhighhat's excellent story, Titan: Physics.) Beyond that, I must further compliment you on your characters. They definitely draw the reader into the story, particularly Thornton!

However, I do have a bit of criticism for that same aspect of your story. While your characters are quite interesting and diverse, they seem inappropriate for the setting: Harvard. While I never attended Harvard, my close friend happened to go there, and I've visited him on a number of occasions. Those experiences, and also a sort of peripheral understanding, have led me to believe that most showboating of any kind is shunned at that school, and at most other elite schools. It's viewed as tacky. Maybe my perspective is unique, and other readers wouldn't have objections. However, I do believe that it's important to write from a position of authority. As in, it's important to know your setting/background backwards and forwards, or, failing that, it's important to gloss over the parts that you don't know. I just feel like your characters, while they are undoubtedly compelling, probably wouldn't exist at Harvard. For instance, I guarantee you no one would care that Ashley was the head cheerleader. On the other hand, it's inevitable that whatever you write about will offend some "expert" somewhere, so I guess you'll have to try to strike a healthy balance. Let me just reiterate that in general it's good to write settings that you know intimately if they also happen to exist in real life; that way you won't alienate anyone and also might win a few extra fans.

If I could offer up an alternative to your setting, perhaps some sort of reality TV situation would be more appropriate. You could still have Thornton and Stephen be from Harvard, but the other characters could be farflung recruits auditioning for the trip of a lifetime. And perhaps the science geeks could be someone Thornton offended back at the university and are seeking revenge of some kind. That way the entertaining cattiness, etc. won't feel out of place. Just a thought.

Ultimately, this setting situation isn't a big problem. Characters are the most important part of any story, and you've got that covered in spades. Overall, this is a fantastic story that could use a few tweaks in the story, which I'm enjoying very much. I hope to see more of this story as well!

P.S. While the lack of macrophilia content doesn't bother me at all, I imagine that some of your other readers are itching to get to the good stuff (especially since your descriptions are so great). If you can somehow gracefully work that into the story sooner and more often, I'm sure you'll get a response from the readers. Balancing porn and story definitely isn't easy to do, but something tells me you've got the right stuff.

"Haha, well... how about this... if you write a second chapter to 'Kate's Detention', I'll write up the next chapter of Thornton Chronicles right now? Deal?"

Ahhh! I've been blackmailed! And by a fellow sm. Noooooo!

Haha, but in all seriousness, as much as a I appreciate you loving Kate's Detention enough for me to make a second chapter, that story is fully closed in my opinion. If anyone would ever want to make a sequel to it and just credit me for the first one, I'd be perfectly okay with that, but I personally have no creative ideas to go any further with it. To me, it was always a short story, not a multi-chapter epic like Change Happens.

Plus, I have so many other creative stories I want to do. I've recently written 2 comics for giantessfan, neither one of which they seem to be interested in making, so I'll probably be posting those here soon. I also recently completed a new chapter for Freshman Giantess and have several stories and collages I'm working on.

So, there is no future for Kate's Detention unless someone else wants to pen it. It's finished. Thornton's Chronicles on the other hand feels as though it's just beginning, and I hope you've thought about how it's going to end, because with all the unfinished stories on here and all the leg work you've provided for these characters, I would be sad to not see the payoff and close like every good story. There's so much character depth, conflicting relationships, I mean, this story is going to be fan-fucking-tastic by the time we see others start to shrink.

Haha, if only you would have said another chapter for Freshman Giantess or for me to finish the epilogue for Change Happens. I would have jumped on that and been like DEAL!

I don't mind a story trying to take sufficient time in order to build up shrinking segments as long as the development is interesting. The dialogue and descriptions are all spot on. 

My only real complaint or suggestion I hope the gts interaction is more engaging when a more prominent character shrinks. For example if Alisha were to get her hands on a shrunken Thorton I hope there is more substance than her just wanting to make him a sex slave. I'd love to see more of the humiliation factor touched on, which can be acheived through means other than just shoving a captive in a vagina, inbetween breasts, etc.

Overall though the characters are very interesting and all have interesting motives/personalities that I hope carry on or change depending on who shrinks who or whatever route you decide to go.



Author's Response:

Thank you for the review, Neurotic.

I'm aware that this story might not be the pacing or the style that you're used to, but thank you for the points you raised.

Only thing that I'll say is that the giantess that you've seen so far, Alisha, is more suited to barbaric forms of humiliation and selfish sexual needs. I contribute that to her upbringing and how she feels society treats her. She has cravings of what she'd like to do to a tiny Thornton, and she's simply venting those needs on a figure of authority to make herself feel superior? Who knows.


My point is, that other giantesses in the story will have different motivations when encountering tiny people. A girl with low self esteem, will likely want to make someone worship her. Potentially her tiny will be a proud and popular individual that she will want to break piece by piece, without anyone being any the wiser.

Thornton.

Really really, GOOD!   I like the plot, and the slow build, it really has me hooked.

Im reading it slowly, and enjoying the devious giantess factor....

Keep going,  and go crazy with (Attention to detail)  from tinies perspective)



Author's Response:

Your review inspired the recent chapter. Yourself and Newschool both wanted focus on the tiny perspective, so the recent chapter is all about that.

I hope I did okay with it.

I'm glad to see the story has started back up, but I feel like it's lost some since you last left it. When I read this and the part where Alisha was imaging Thorton between her buttcheeks, I was so ready for some shrinking action, but now we've dived back into the plot. Plot is super important, don't get me wrong, but this far into the story you need to keep the shrunken play alive, even if it's only through imagination. I felt like you missed a good opportunity by not going into detail when Alisha thinks about keeping the teacher in her panties once she found her, or Alisha imagining what Eliza's reaction will be when Thornton's between her buttcheeks, or Eliza worrying what Alisha might do to Thornton if she does shrink him. Even just a paragraph about the shrinking I feel would have given the chapter more balance, or if you had made it even longer to where one of the girls finds the teacher. I wouldn't be saying this, but you had two chapters in a row missing that element, and in this point in the story, it always needs to be there, even if it's just a little bit.

I also am not a very big fan of the shrunken teacher. I'd much rather see Thornton, Ashley, or any of their friends shrunken. That could solely just be me though.

This is my first time reading this, and I'm sad I never caught it when you first started adding chapters. I love how you didn't just immediately jump into the shrinking, but let the girls fantasize about what they want to do to the shrunken people. I wish it was a little more descriptive, but maybe you're just waiting for everyone to shrink before you do multiple paragraphs describing scenarios of something like a shrunken Ashley puckering up to Eliza's giant ass.

I also enjoy that there's a variety of characters and am curious as to what's going to happen to all of them. There's a various of combinations you could do, and you have me wondering what they'll be. Like, will the "Barbie Bunch" get shrunken, or did you bring up Sarah's ass being popular with the guys because you wanted Sarah to discover her ass is actually quite unpopular with shrunken guys? Will Alisha get to make her dream of having Thornton squirm between her ass cheeks become a reality, or will Eliza's feelings get in the way? So many questions! Can't wait to read the answers with each new chapter!

This story is excellent! plenty of rivalry going around to ensure plenty gts scenarios later.

The unlikely victim chapter was amazing too....

You revealed that the chemical shrinks ojects as well would it be possible to have a vehicle with students in it get shrunk and chased by the girls?

This has always been a fascination for me to have a vehicle of shrunken ones give a girl wearing high heels a run for her money by driving under and around things to try to escape.

Also the dialouge is quite amusing by the way.

So do you think the vehicle idea is a good one?



Author's Response:

I'll be honest with you, I've thought about this... and I think it's a cheesy premise. Which is why I'm taking it as a challenge to incorporate something like that without it sounding terrible.

The entire vehicle would have to be covered by the formula, and it's only available as a spray or as a serum. I'd need to turn it into a giant gas cloud almost to get that sort of situation.

On the note of you wanting the gts' getting a 'Run for their money', that's definitely going to happen. Most stories revolve around characters that just try to defy their Giantess with words and they get punished. What happens when you have a genius that's determined to get back to normal size?

Glad you like the dialogue, I'm trying not to curse so much, but being Irish makes it like my second language.

Anyways, feel free to review another chapter to give me your thoughts. Who's your favourite character by the way? And is there any particular aspect of the fetish that you like the most?

I registered for the sole purpose of asking you to please keep writing. It is a great story and there hasn't even been any GTS content yet. Great work.



Author's Response:

Sorry for the lack of giantess content so far, when they get on the plane, all hell breaks loose etc. However, I did throw in some stuff in chapter 6, also, chapter 8 should be quite a bit of fun for Alisha.

And thank you, it means a lot to me that you liked my story so much to register. I'll try to keep updating as much as possible. However, if you do have any recommendations or things you'd like to see, feel free to throw them at me.

It's shaping out to be a very good story in progress. Can't wait to to see the gts content.



Author's Response:

I think the chapter you're thinking of would be Chapter 6, Unlikely Victim.

Although, Hidden Desires is quite nice as Eliza, the normally shy and insecure girl lets her imagination wander with what she'd do to a tiny Ashley.

Glad you're enjoying it so far, please feel free to review the other chapters and tell me what you'd like to see more of.

Hey! You seem to like reviews, so I thought I'ld leave you one. I like the setting, and the dialogue is a higher standard than  we typically get. If I were to recommend anything, I would not introduce any more characters, because I don't really know who everyone is.

 

Keep up the great work!



Author's Response:

Well, I only request reviews so I can tell if my story is being well received, that and I'm quite interested in catering it to the tastes of my audience.

As for the recommendation, I'll take it into consideration, but the reason I'm adding so many, is to create multiple rivalries within the group of fifty students. That way, I can lead up all the different aspects of the fetishes within different groups.

It will enable me to incorporate a lot more action, I'm just putting in the ground work. If you'd like, I could write up an alternate chapter that summarises all the different characters?

I can already tell that Eliza and Alisha are not the type who like being ignored for the so-called "Greater Good."

P.S.---welcome back, Thornsie! :-)

Author's Response:

Ah, now there's a familiar name. However, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I'm not Thorns. I was a member of the City forums back in 2006, but I only wrote stories that were somewhat 'Pure Fetish', the type that had no storyline. But action packed and fast paced.

 

Thank you for the review, I'm very grateful, I was beginning to think that nobody would like it. :)

Roar! I'm back with a review for your story this time. Great start youv'e really set up the scene well and use great dialogue and description. I can't wait to see where the set up goes :P

 

I can also see how you like your butt crush to should help me ! *ninjas ideas* :P



Author's Response:

Quite funny how two of my favourite authors from this site have reviewed my story within 30 minutes of me posting it up. If Cayce gives a review, I'll be complete. ;)

Well if you'd like to PM me, I'd be happy to give you ideas or help you with your storyline in relation to butt crush. It's my favourite aspect of the fantasy. Yet, I'm writing for others here... so if you tell me what it is you like, I'll incorporate it into my story. I'm guessing foot domination, f/f? I intended to get that in here anyways. ;)

Looking forward to hearing your opinions in the chapters to come.

thought i'd be one of the first to extend a friendly word.  even though there's no giantess content yet, you seem to be the type of writer who doesn't forego description of the scene, the absence of which honestly kills some stories for me, so kudos.  looking forward to seeing how you bring that element in once your main character's foes become decidedly larger compared to him.



Author's Response:

Christ, you're the author of Family Reunion. I have to say, I'm a huge fan of yours and hope that I can write a story that you too will enjoy. Thank you for the kind words. It's going to be at least 10 chapters. I'm halfway done on the second chapter. So it should be uploaded in the next day I would imagine. Sorry for lack of content, I need to build it up...
