It sounds like Olivia is becoming genuinely fond of Alan (in her own perverse way). Making me surprised she even gave him back to Sadie, at all!

Author's Response:

Pure speculation. Slaves are traded for slaves in this house, partly for precaution (partly because it's just more interesting). Via Olive Alan'll come back to Sadie, who's full of ideas (the word's in her name), but how that'll happen is anyone's guess, except mine for the moment. You know Olivia doesn't keep slaves forever -- that she dispenses with them, except for the poor old flame, once they're 'worn out.' And that Alan is worth a boxful of these worn-out slaves to Sadie. And that Sadie had made some verbal agreement in the past that Olivia didn't hold to. I think anyone can make a fair guess what's going to happen next. (Things will speed up: I kind of want to call the next chapter, which I'll punch out tomorrow if I get a few hours free time, 'Day Three to X'.) 

Thanks, Carycomic. (Racy comic?)

I´m sorry for my language but my english is limited and I can´t communicate my ideas fine.

Hi!

Leí la respuesta de tu ultimó comentario y (sí lo entendí bien) a mi me gusta la idea de la puclicación de historias completas. Yo soy de los que lee cuando el escrito esta finalizado. Así que, literalmente, de la serie "La Biblioteca de Holly", solo he leído "Adela". Pero siento que esta toma de decisió puede tener doble filo, porque, aunque yo las leo terminadas, siempre me gusta ver lo que la gente comenta de la historia, y por lo que veo la gente no solo escribe lo que piensa de cada nueva actualización, si no que termina influyendo en el curso de la trama. Además ayuda al autor a reforsar una trama, saber si lo que hace es precipitado, incoherente o si la historia a perder sentido y ese tipo de comentarios los revela. Así que una historia finalizada impide esta especie de conexión del autor con los lectores.

Si mi comentario te ofendio de algun modo, de antemano me disculpo.

Sin nada más que decir, me despido.

Bye :)

PS: ¿Tienes pensado terminar las otras historias de la serie? Como ya he dicho, no las he leido porque espero una coclusión, y si hasta ahorra he aguantado es porque... solo Dios lo sabe.



Author's Response:

It's an interesting point, if I understand you. The installment plan hurts and it helps, it teaches and it's also led me to a lot of false starts and hold-ups and dead ends. 

The comment sections in some stories can be very revealing not only about the way it's received over time, but the way the author decided to shift gears, change characters, alter circumstances because of audience reaction/non-reaction (it's fair to say I've done this in every story on here except The Castle, Chloe, and some of the one-shots, and I'm sure lots of other authors can say the same -- Adela would probably be much different, it's true, if I wasn't worried that too many people would be alienated by the story-trajectory). 

But as a writer, I don't know, there are times when I appreciate input (if it's about the story), and times when I resent it (when I feel some reader is imposing, or trying to get me to change course in a story, or flesh out some character traits in a readerly way instead of leaving them vague, by trying to get me to cater to their own kicks and kinks, so on).

Thanks, and keep reading.

Great stuff. I love the whole holly's library series and am glad to see this story back up. Hope to see lots more great writing from you

Author's Response:

Thanks, methodman.

A few thoughts (not for you in particular: just putting them out there): Something to consider for future stories (longish to long): I'd probably do better with readers posting it complete instead of in installments. It always takes a lot of blood and sweat to get to a peaceful ending.

(I remember how many people, mid-Adela, were turned off by the intensity, couldn't understand her personality, couldn't reconcile themselves to the violence -- but by the end I guess those same people came around to liking it, and now, judging by reactions there and elsewhere, it's become a story about an exceptionally kind and gentle girl, who befriends a helpless, shrunken boy -- amazing, when you start to think about it. All you have to do is flip a few pages to find her eating someone, maiming and dismembering another, imprisoning a third, at normal size, under her bed, etc. etc. But that's how these things go.)

I'm not really into feet myself.  I guess that's why I've always had trouble with the Holly's Library series.  I initially avoided this series, but I gave it chance in "Adela".  I guess I picked out something that fits my preference for gentle giantess stories.  That's why I believed Holly when she told the male protanist about the nice future in the New World that she and her friends were building.  I guess I stupidly assumed that future would benefit everybody.  The shrinking, a method to weed out the evil and corrupt people of society and men having to earn their right to stand tall.  Instead, all I've seen is complete slavery, mainly foot slaves.  Men actually being bred for foot servitude, eaten, crushed and other nasty things, wasn't what I was looking for in this series. 

Also, it seems to make little sense for Alan to have been shrunk and subjugated with there being relatively inexpensive and specially bred slaves available.  Initially I thought it was because Sadie wanted to own and possesss him specifically.  But now I'm not so sure, as it appears that he's being passed around to different women, and Sadie doesn't seem to care.  Could it just be that Sadie didn't like that there was a lowly MAN running around free?

Charlotte seems to be the first breath of fresh air since Adela in her self titled story.  Someone who actually cares about a man!  It seems that these 2 women are more in line with what I was hoping from this series.  That perhaps all the other women have gotten corrupt on their own power and have forgotten the reason for the revolution in the first place?

Maybe my assumptions were wrong.  But those were the impressions I got.  Maybe the author can enlighten me?



Author's Response:

Haven't heard from you in a while, riczar. Thanks for this. 

Nothing to answer here, except in the second paragraph. You want to know about the black market, and the difference between legal slaves (the genetically altered ones in the shopwindow in the chapter 'intermission' here), and the illegal ones (everyone else). How large a segment of the shrunken population, in this alternate universe, is legally/illegally captive or enslaved, etc. And what are they like. Why are the legal slaves cheap, and why was someone like Charlotte, your 'breath of fresh air' (she is great though) repulsed by the 'legal' ones in particular? Why did she say she wanted Alan instead? 

But if you're really interested in discussing the whole illegal market outside the story (what's happening in Chloe vs. what's happening here, in a sorority house), why Alan was abducted or what some people like Sadie or Olivia do in college (vs. what someone like Chloe does for a career), that'd be interesting. 

As for everyone else here, you're going to get a high intensity, filthy mix of gentle violence and violent gentleness. What you've seen is what you've seen. If you're going to complain about a lack of 'breath of fresh air' gentleness or equality among the men and women here, I'll just ignore you. I don't care why you or anyone else avoids things or what you avoid -- I only care if you're into it. Love it if we both are.

Really good story, besides all the foot fetish slaves like our main character.

Author's Response:

Had to do a double take on that sentence. I read 'besides' in the usual way, first time, and it sounded like you were saying 'besides, all the slaves like [Alan],' which made no sense. 

Then I realized you meant 'despite the slaves,' because you want to make it clear you're not into that particular fetish (whereas for me there's no other reason to write these stories: a serious, non-pornographic giantess tale is a total waste of time, I think. If I'm doing this stuff, it's for one reason only).

PS I hope to see more from the Chloe story.

Author's Response:

Thanks. And you'll see more from Chloe. (I need a deadline for these things.) I want to get back to it, too.

This is definitely not legal. Even in this alterniverse!

Definitely not.

Great to see this back



Author's Response:

Great to be back. I've been busy/distracted with other work. Found my notes on an external file, and last week decided to write another chapter. I sometimes get bored with a story after finishing the outline. Sometimes, anyway.

If this wasn't being told in flashback, I'd swear he wouldn't live to see the next chapter.

Sadie sounds a bit bipolar.

Author's Response:

She's less mysterious in the third chapter, I hope.

This story looks really filmical...I kinda like that, keep on doing this way !!



Author's Response:

Thanks/glad you like it so far. There's definitely some filmlike stuff in here, structuralwise, e.g. flashbacks/-forwards, Alan pressing the button/Sadie pressing the doorbell, voiceovers, etc.

I like how you provide substantial detail, e.g., items in Sadie's pocket, lint in her sock, smells, etc. It allows the reader to sense the experience.



Author's Response:

I don't think I've said this before, but one of the things I find most interesting/arousing (both as a writer and a reader) in these stories, isn't necessarily the gentle/violent dynamic of the giantess/shrunken (wo)man relationship -- it's making a convincing giantess or goddess out of the 'regular'/'next-door' kind of girl.

Those little details and touches (the gum wrapper, stains on the pillow, cleaning out the ears, or smacking the lips after whispering, etc.) might seem unnecessary, from place to place, but they're essential for me in getting across to the reader that this girl, in many ways, is average and could be anyone -- she has these endearing imperfections, but she's also a giantess/goddess. I love that part about this fantasy. (And I see some of that in your story, too. That's what I meant about 'intimate', by the way.)
