Yo! I love your stories! Totally dig your writing style! Please do not stop! I check back damn near everyday to see  if you updated your current stories. Also, I've been reading stuff in this site for a couple if years now, but I've never made an account until now; only just so I could leave comments/reviews like this one lol. I just needed to l let you know that you rock man! Love your characters, stories, and your overall writing style! You are, by a long shot, my favorite author of writings worldwide! Lol I never read!! I DON'T read.. Except for kinky smut that was written by a likeminded individual.. Anyway, keep it up man! Don't ever stop! Love it so that I may live it!

It's been awhile since your last story. I hope you are doing ok.

Can you say when part 7 of Time-out might come out?

Misreading Aaron's comment I looked for "power play" and found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_play_(sporting_term) - I didn't know the expression, is that the reason for the title? I thought it was only, well, about the literal meaning.

Short review because in a few minutes I've got to stop reading for at least a few hours.


What's non-canon about the 1st story? You even mentioned right in this story that "She’d of course apologized numerous times in the time afterward" - did I miss something?

Author's Response:

A couple small things. The first story makes it seem like Judy's PMRD is the only one of its kind, since Ella hasn't heard of shrinking before. In general, too, the personalities of both Judy and Ella are a little different. Judy was shown being a little more focused on making sure her son learned his lesson out of love, while Ella was just having some fun. From the second story onward, Judy's goals have more to do with self-advancement and teaching Scott his place.

You have a point, Joy and Mark's relationship is far more normal than Judy and Scott's, or as normal as it can be within the Shrink Act universe anyway. I do hope we see Joy and Mark bonding in someway.

And thank you for these stories, they are really fun to read. Both the ones with the tiny person and big people get along and the ones where they don't. 

Oh, having read the comments on chapter 28: "Nancy's actions won't go unnoticed by Scott's family". The story is done, so it's too late to predict their reactions without looking ridiculous, but - Hallelujah!

Author's Response:

Hehe. I'm not always a 100% jerk to my characters, I promise. Sometimes...

Holy shit, Scott's dad is not only alive but a criminal!! Can't wait to see where you take that little tidbit of information.

As for Judy and Scott's powwow, that happened exactly liked I'd hoped. She was so cold and calloused but yet in her mind had his best interests at heart. But then when she gave him the ultimatum, I felt like his description was accurate. She just wants him to be a mascot or poster child for this Shrink Act phenomenon and she will either use him for that or use him for her own enjoyment(of course that's my favorite choice for him). Since he doesn't want to let her win, he may be spending a lot more time at an inch tall under or around her giant sized 12s. I especially liked it when she playfully bounced her foot knowing full well the ramifications of such a small action from her to tiny Scott between her toes.

But Scott may have a little light because Maggie most likely will be less inclined to torment him now but if Scott doesn't take Judy's offer then she could employ someone else's help to blatantly humiliate her son.(which that could include Nancy or somebody else from her book club)
Overall I'm extremely satisfied with how Judy dropped the hammer on Scott. She's an awesome character and hope she's still the main focal point of the next story.

PS would it be out of the realm of possibilities to suggest Scott be forced to give his mother a pedicure? Like with lotion and the whole nine yards? At her(and my) preferred height of course.

Author's Response:

Thanks for reading/reviewing, man. Good points about Judy and Scott, and even if he doesn't decide for a little while, he's still going to be spending some time down at that height regardless.

Amazing story, can't wait to see part 7, hopefully won't have to wait too long...

What a great end. Ang how will both Judy and Scott behave after learning about his dad? I also feel the fight between Scot and Judy is not over yet. And to reply to your previous comment I thought Scott would blow up at Maggie for feeling that she was blackmailing him and using his phone privilages to get her way. I thought He might be Mad at that. As for critiquing the writing there is one that does not make sense to me. The first is where Judy is explaining to Scott about living a normal life and part of it is "You can leave the house with us..." and goes on about eating normal and stuff. I believe that "You can live in the house with us..." is better than "You can leave the house with us." The way you use leave means if something is changing. For instance if you re-wrote the chapter but you wanted to leave a previous chapter in. I believe that you used the verb wrong and that it should be changed. Spelling wise I found no mistakes. This was a great chapter and a great ending to a great story. I hope that the next story in the series is already in your head. There are so many ways to look take this story, especially with his dad being found and arrested. Will Judy be in charge of his dad now too? If so will this take away some of the "tprture: Scott will endure or will Judy take the frustration out on Scott for his dad appearing out of nowhere? These are just a few Ideas I can think of with these two. I cannot even imagine what Maggie will do or say when she finds out about her dad; that is if she even remembers him. I cannot wait for the next installment. Keep up the great work.
