Stories like this are so difficult to read in this format. When the stakes are so high it’s difficult to read all this suspenseful action and then come up on a cliffhanger. That being said, it’s a testament to how incredible you are at writing. The characters are complex and it kind of feels like a TV with that way we move from one issue directly into the next. I cannot wait to read the next chapters. Amazing work!

I didn't get an update that you've added a chapter so I've only just read it now. Wow. that was some intense emotion, made even better by the back story at the end. You use those little nuggets of the past very well. You don't over use them, so when we do read them, those little peaks into what makes this family tick hit that much harder. Don't let anyone tell you you're not a good author.
As per usual the portrayals of everyone are great. Huge respect for Tanner for standing up to Ivory. If I knew Tanner in real life I'd love to be his friend. He's the kind of shrunken guy I'd want to be. The one strong enough to keep trying to live in a world that outgrew him. Even if he didn't succeed, the fact that he hasn't taken his own life is a testament to his strength.
I can't wait to see Ivory and Ingrid clash over what just happened. No way that isn't going to happen, what with the evidence left lying in a wreck on the floor. I like the dynamic. Both love Tanner and want him to be safe. Ivory wants to treat him as a glass ornament. Ingrid wants to treat him like a person. Gail is still around outside, I think. She might be there to comfort him at this time. I'm not sure.
I hope you don't mind long comments my guy. Understand it's one of the greatest compliments I can pay you. When I read a story like this. A story that prioritizes loveable characters and a great protagonist, over senseless festish material, I can't help but go on about it. It makes me think. Makes me imagine what I'd do in these scenarios. Makes me think what would happen in What If scenarios. It brings out the best in my imagination. And that is a gift. Keep writing dude.
Though truthfully I won't say no to some good fetish material. If ever you want to add more of that, be my guest.
Author's Response:
Thanks, I appreciate the long reviews. Even though there's so much I'd do differently in retrospect I don't think I hit my stride with this story until around the halfway point where Tanner stays with Blake and Gail. Even so, I tried to be very deliberate with this story and am satisfied with how far I've come with the first long term story I've written in a long time.
The flashbacks were mainly inspired from ThomThumb's "The Girl Who Grew" where the story later shifted to other character's viewpoints. I considered making the story from Tanner's perspective only, but since the story was as much about the family's dynamic as a whole, I found the 3rd POV better with the occasional first person glimpses of the thoughts of the main trifecta.
Tanner has been a surprisingly easy main character to write and I've liked conveying the extent of everything he has to deal with. At the crux of it all, he can't accept being so small. Despite trying to remain positive, joke about it sometimes, and his appreciation for everything done for him he's constantly bombarded with reminders of his limitations and is fearful where that will leave him in life.

I forgot to ask more specifically, are scat, watersports, or full anal insertion at all possibilities for the spin off? Or are those hard limits or just non-interests for you? To see those kinks in a story like this would be a dream come true but obviously artistic integrity is the most important thing.

I just.... There’s a few stories on this site that completely cut through all the “pulpy” hedonistic erotica, and cross over into novelistic territory based on the level of story, character development etc... This in my opinion is the absolute best of them, this is basically a high quality novella, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you using your talent for this niche. You can legitimately feel the emotions of every character from the amount of effort and skill you put into each chapter. Once this is over, it’s definitely going to be a story I can come back to and read over again, several times. Which is not something I thought I’d ever say about any story on here. Anyway just wanted to voice my support like everybody else I guess.
...
(In case you thought I wasn’t a deviant like everyone else on this site.) In this “What If” spin off with Marcelle, might we expect more intense butt related stuff? I agree with many others reviews that it’s nice to have this story that really gets to the heart and philosophy of what it would actually be like to be tiny in the real world, and dabbling in the fetish accepts but not focusing on them, it’s very refreshing. That being said, obviously the amount of realism you’ve put into this story makes the fetish stuff hit so much harder. The part where Blair ran with Tanner in her waistband and he fell in, despite being pretty tame comparatively to other things on this site, it was incredibly immersive and gripping because
the world feels so real. The characters are so fleshed out and we’ve invested so much time getting to know their emotions and the way they think. Anyway I’m rambling now, sorry, really I hope that with the “What If” spin off you fully indulge whatever kinks you enjoy cause I’m sure it’ll be fantastic if that’s the case. I’m very hyped to see how the main story wraps up, and it’s been an emotional, fun, mesmerizing and honestly thought-provoking ride.
Author's Response:
It's always odd to me to read such high praise coming from reviewers and I certainly appreciate it. I guess it's just the fact because I'm the author I'll always have a critical take to my own work where I'll read certain things over and find all the nitpicky things I would have changed, reworded, edited, etc. The beginning stages were a feeling out process and I'd say I didn't get a clear vision for what direction I wanted to take this story until the middle (when Tanner goes to stay with Blake's family).
The characters however I was pretty adamant about wanting them to serve a purpose. Tanner, Ingrid, and Ivory were the original trio planned from the start. Prominent later additions Blake, Marcelle, & Gail to even minor characters I wanted to have a clear idea of who they were, personality, etc. to justify their inclusion in the story. Even for the chapters that I harder time writing, thinking of their personalities gave me some framework to where I could imagine for instance how Ingrid would react to a situation versus how Gail would react.
For the Marcelle spin off, at this point maybe, maybe not. I roughly outlined a few things and have a general idea of what her modus operandi would be for handling Tanner. I haven't worked out completely what specifically I'd have her doing to him though. As you noted though, I like the opportunity to let the imagination go wild for a bit, throwing a lot of paint on the wall to see what sticks.
Thanks for the review!

I love your story so much and think the what if with Marcelle sounds like a great idea! Would love to read that!

My heart was racing more when Tanner was trying to send the text message then it was before my organic chemistry final.
Nice chapter, well written and was worth the wait. :-P

Lol. Thanks, Tanner had to work pretty quickly.

I’m kicking myself for not reading this story earlier, at first I was intimidated by the size of it, but it really gets going and I’m super invested in it now. I’m definitely looking forward to whenever the next chapter comes out.
Author's Response:
Appreciate it, I'm trying to get back into working on it more frequently now.

That was a pretty satisfying chapter. My only complaint is that I think the big blow out between the two of them was too short. You know how to write convincing emotional dialouge between characters, so I was hoping that would go on a little longer. Just to make sure both Tanner and Ingrid were able to communicate everything they had been mulling over the past few days. I can't even say that's a complaint though.
Once again the relationship between the brother and sister is my favorite aspect of this story. It's very real, so congratulate yourself on pulling that off. Now all that I need to see is for Marcelle to be delt with. Preferably by Ingrid, who is capable of physically throwing her out of the house (or Blake, since she's even bigger). However, I'm sure whatever you have planned for that situation will be more than adequate for the story, so I leave all of that in your hands. I look forward to seeing this continued.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the comment, I admit to that being shortcoming (no pun intended) I try to juggle. I don't like feeling as if I'm padding at a story with filler; I typically try to stop once I think a message has been properly conveyed. However it's also tricky when I'm typing out the chapter in a word document and it seems longer to me because I'm the one writing it, plus the formatting of the document, etc. Then it doesn't always translate when I paste it here for posting and for other readers who share the same opinion as you do.
I'll keep it in mind for the next major hallmark coming soon, which as you referenced will be trying to shut down Marcelle. I've written some rough drafts on what will occur now that it's closer on the horizon I'll work out the finer details with what you said in mind.

Thank you for being so understanding. I hate to judge others, I guess its just being human and inherently flawed that makes me hypocritical sometimes.
While I do try to prevent and/ or lessen the frequency of such occurances, I am still inevitably going to succumb to human frailties at some point or another.

I'm so glad you're still writing this story. This latest chapter is an excellent set up for the next chapter. I'm dying to see how the reunion pans out, keep up the great work!
Author's Response:
It was a long time coming, but next chapter will be quite a heart to heart between the two.

So I've just finished binge reading your story, and I can't say enough about how how much I love it. You do the one thing that I love seeing on this site, and have been trying to do in all of my own stories. You focus on character development and plot over fetish material, while still sprinkling it in at just the right moments. And what's even better, you get the reader to empathise with the main character by having them see the world from his perspective. I love that most of all. I love writing about either giant women interacting with normal men, or regular women interacting with shrunken men, and having the women eventually come to see the men as respected equals instead of toys to play with. Not to mention so many of the characters are loveable for different reasons. Tanner is the strong one who takes all of life's difficulties in stride like a boss. Ingrid is the amazing sister who cares deeply for him and wants to protect him, and Blake is the loveable best friend who treats the shrunken man like a normal person (most of the time). I love seeing them interact, I love the emotion between them all, and I honestly cannot wait to see what happens when Ingrid and Tanner come face to face again.
I've now added this story to my favorites list, and will be checking for updates daily. And, even though I really hate asking this, if stories like this are some that you enjoy reading about, I'd like to invite you to check out my two completed stories: A New Perspective, and Whose Really the Bigger Person Here. In those stories I've tried to tackle similar themes. You've done a better job of it, in my opinion, though. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing. Cause it's great.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the well thought out review, I'm almost having a hard time believing I'm coming up on a year since I posted the first chapter. Grand scheme of things I think we're around the halfway mark. You and I both share the same viewpoint in regards to story telling on this site. Whether it's short piece, novel-esque, series of vignettes, etc. A story first and foremost needs to be a freaking story. That's one of the peeves that'll almost instantly tune me away from a story, when I get the sense that it's something that's haphazardly thrown together with little thought. Some of my favorite writers on the site have managed to blend story with erotica, such as Cayce, Jacksmith, etc.
With that minor tangent over I'm glad you appreciate how the characters are written. Quite a few of them evolved in ways I didn't have outlined in there initial conception and characters like Abigail or Marcelle were not in my initial thoughts either.
From the start though I was certain I didn't want the story to come off as mean spirited in the sense that everyone is out to devalue Tanner's life and treat him as a toy like you mentioned. While there is a niche for that and I enjoy it sometimes, a lot of times it simplifies characters too much into being one-note jackasses. As noted in a previous chapter a major theme was Tanner trying to cope with living his life at his size and the people around him learning how to deal with his size as well.
The next chapter will wrap up Tanner's arc with Blake's family. After that Ingrid and Tanner's first interaction will be coming very soon, where both parties have a lot to get off their chests to say the least. Stay tuned, thanks again for reading.

Come on Tanner man you reject the poor girl for nothing and you have to deal with her big sister!!!!!!!
Author's Response:
Tanner knows it's messed up and he probably shouldn't have feelings for his stepsister after what she did to him; the heart is a messed up thing. But, there will be more of Gail and Tanner in the future.

Excellent chapter, as always ! I wonder how Blake will be around Tanner now, after the realization of what que was doing to him dawned on her. I also hope that Gail won't give up on Tanner and manage to steal his heart
Author's Response:
Hopefully they patch things up. And they'll be on hold for now, but this won't be the last of Gail and Tanner

This is easily my favorite series on the site. Excellent writing and engaging characters. I've been checking for an update every day!
(any word on when the next chapter is coming out?)
Author's Response:
Chapter 20 is about 90% done, needs a few bells and whistles before it's complete. I'm not really the type to force myself to write when I don't feel like it, especially right now with my school semester in fruition. Before the month is over it'll be posted. Thanks for the review!
