[Report This]Date: July 24 2014 3:32 PM Title: Chapter 12
First of all, one chapter for an entire competition? Seems a little more stuff could be added to this chapter, but it was still a good one.
The one -eighth is very small. Marie doesnt seem to mind too much, but i think she likes being big even better.
Personally, I think a fullsized person should not go to one-eighth size that quickly. Maybe im just not used to people shrinking multiple sizes at once. The one-eighth spot was reserved for Andy! I was expecting him to lose on purpose and shrink, but instead, it was Marie.
The questions were just like last season. It was either about the contestents or the house.
I was surpised that Jerry wanted to knock a point off Vera. I thought they were friends. I was expecting him to vote for Marie.
Ok, lets look at the sizes.
Hailey is the queen. No one really fears that except Dale. Jerry loves it. The queen and her little man. I like it.
The two half sized people are Dale and Carla.
Dale finally is nearing the top with only two people his size or larger. He might get a nice dream tonight.
Carla is shrunk, but so is Andy. Round 2 sexy time with Carla begins tonight. Being half sized is still pretty big considering all the others and their respective sizes.
The quarter sized people are Vera, Paul, Andy, and Jerry. Seems like a happy bunch to me. Paul and Vera are reuntied. Andy has big Carla tonight, and Jerry has queen Hailey tonight. Betty must be proud, i think she made most people happy this time.
Finally, we have little Marie who is once again very tiny. That was a great scene you created. Betty's face was larger than Marie. I mean wow, and she is what, 7-8 inches tall now? thats amazing.
With 38 chapters left, it seems like within two or three more chapters, someone will reach one-sixteenth size. That would be an early elimination, unless.....you dont get eliminated by one-sixteenth, and it is one -thirtysecondth instead.
Either that, or there is a lot of growing and shrinking before someone gets to one-sixteenth size.
Also, when does Betty start using her own wishes to change the contestants size like last season? Last season, she wanted a little Tom, and little Dave so she changed the game to get them shrunk.
I hope Betty grants my wish of making every woman larger than the man. Queen would be Carla. half sized would be Vera, Hailey, Marie. Quartersized would be Jerry, Dale, and Paul. Then Andy would be one-eighth sized. I wish. :)
I cant wait for the next chapter!
Author's Response:
A note on the chapters: When I write, I typically don't write in chapters, I just go ahead and create one long block with little to no breaks. For the sake of orginization--as well as the need to subdivide for uploading--I go back later and break things up into chapters. I aimed for 8-10 Microsoft Word pages per chapter, and tried to divide the chapters at obvious break points. Some chapters might be a little shorter or longer than 8-10 pages as a result.
Being full-sized is often as dangerous as being the smallest, as competitions such as this can send you way down to the smallest size. That's why it could be seen as a good strategy to stay around middling-size through the early and middle parts of the competition and not try to get to much out in front and make yourself vulnerable. Then again, we know we can't trust Betty to run an honest game...wink wink.
Betty usually lets things progress naturally at first and then inserts her influence more and more as time goes on. There hasn't been any "behind the scenes" stuff yet about what happens outside the competition space, but that's about to change in a fairly big way!
And as for the first elimination, that is coming...well, I won't say whether it's coming soon or if there's a ways to go yet, but it is coming and it is inevitable!
