Bio:

Just registered so I can review stories. I consider myself a kind of connoisseur of GTS stories, so anything you happen to see on my favorite stories(and authors) list is going to be good. Just to let you know, I like longer stories, and thus my favorited stories will tend to be of a greater length, usually 50,000+ words. If you want to AIM me and ask me to proof read a story you plan to publish(Grammar is a tricky little bugger), or just talk GTS in general, feel free.

Fucking epic.

 

That's all I can say. The ending was sad, but you found the perfect place to end it, and you left room for a sequal easily. I encourage you to write a sequal, as a reader who would gladly enjoy it.



Author's Response: I have a sequel in mind.  But I've been suffering from writer's block for about a year now.  Now that it's summer, maybe I'll get over it.

Summary:

Standing at five and a half meters tall Annette is a still growing giantess that spends some of her time working as a mercenary. This chapter details one of the more eventful work periods in her life time. As Annette is hired to take care of both a small rebel group and a rather unique dragon.

This chapter contains some sexual content but mostly deals with violence and Annette's work policies.

Um, WTF. 280,000 words, and only one review? Come on, that's bullshit. This story is huge, and I can say I enjoyed every second of it. You my friend have a level of drive and determination rarely seen among writers these days. I'd certainly read a sequal to this story if you ever wrote one. It's a great read.



Author's Response: Thanks for the review and the thought. I don't know if I'll be writing a sequal though I am working on other stories I plan to upload later. Sadly this lack of responses is the type of behavior I've come to expect whenever a story is too long. In general though authors of giantess stories don't get my feed back in my experience. Fortunately I do this for fun and not praise other wise I'd quit long ago.

This is the best I have ever read ever on this site, period. This is going to be a bit of a long review, but you deserve it, for the sheer length of this story.

 

I first looked at this story when I looked at the little sidebar to the left showing the 3 most recent stories. I picked the one with the R rating, just because I was in that sort of mood. I decided to see if you had any other stories, and came across this one.

 

I gasped when I read the word count was nearing 150,000 words. That is very hefty for a fan fiction. The most recent book I read was around 220,000 words (Stranger in a Strange Land, if you care to know), and this was pretty damn close in my book. Then I saw the number of reviews. 11. I felt this doesn't do something of this length any justice at all, considering you put so much work into it. I decided to read it a bit, to see if it was because your writing style was poor. I read some of intro, and concluded this was clearly not the case, and that people have just too small of an attention span.

 

I made the decision to read your novel (yes, it's a novel) in its entirety, partly because it was good enough to keep me interested, and partly do it justice. You put much effort into this, I can tell, just by the sheer number of words it contains. So often, I see great stories written by people that never end of getting completed. But you completed this one. And that made it worthy of reading. So no more than 8 hours ago, I bit into it. 5 hours later, I'm at the part shortly after he comes back after "running away".  I felt the suspense at what was going to happen next, true and utter suspense, not some of idle curiosity about what's coming, but real suspense. Then I did a double-check. You got me caring about this character to the point where I am sweating my balls off wondering just what in the devil's unholy and god damned name is going to happen to him at one of the many climaxes of this story. And that statement is true in more than one way har har har.

 

 This basically chiseled into the stone tablet of my brain that you, my friend, write a very mean story. Thus, I decided to review this grand tale. After finishing it, I sat back and am typing the review you now see before you. This story has been long, and I honestly can say I did not want it to end. Seriously. I would like to see a sequel, possibly starting it off sometime around the Christmas vacation in which he gets to see Suzy, but I'm not sure. Anyways, the point is this is a great story, and deserves great praise. You my friend have a resolve I have rarely seen before, and were it not for the content of this story (GTS in general) I would fully urge you to try and get it published. Hell, try to anyways; you might have a shot at landing in the "alternative literature" section of the bookstore.

 So there you have it. A long winded review. I babbled a lot, but I just felt I had to say so much about this novel. Yes, by definition of length, it is a novel. I will read all your work from here on out, and will graciously review any story you write. You my good sir are a great writer.

Author's Response: Thanks, Natch! I appreciate the thoughtful review and the high praise. I don\'t think I\'ll ever actually submit it (I wrote it between chapters of a \"real\" novel whenever I wanted to cut loose and blow off some steam). I know it meanders considerably at times and tends to be repetitive (one of the dangers of publishing a chapter at a time), but I\'m still quite proud of how it turned out.\r\n\r\nI\'m planning on a sequel that will tie HOMUNCULUS and THE SUMMER JOB together. Of course, the rate I write these things, I may die of old age before I get started ;-)\r\n\r\nThanks again!

Good story. I myself would've liked to see a bit more breast action between Link and Zelda, but then again, that's just my preference.

The plot is good, the characters are believe, and I just love the way how you recreate the video game experience while he's in the dungeon, and even when he was fighting. I swear to god I heard all the sound effects of Link getting out of a bomb, or doing a spin attack, etc.

Well done. I consider myself a person who knows a good GTS story-I've read so many of them I've lost count-and your's is certainly good. There are a few missing words here and there, but I myself make that very same mistake.

Happy writing. I've love to see a sequal to this. Also, it can still be "possible" for Zelda to become giant at will by using the Giant's Mask, if you wanted to avoid any possible growing-big plotholes.

Well, I read what there is so far of this story.

 

And I want more. It's a good story, and I just want there magically to be a "Next" button for chapter 10.



Author's Response: Yeah, me too ;-)

Got around to reading this a weekish ago, and have decided to now review it. I like the story thus far, but you're not getting a full review until it's finished. However, what there is as of now is quite good, and typical in the quality that shows in your writing. And this is a good thing.

Author's Response: Thanks, Natch. Looking forward to a full accounting.

Not giving a full review yet, but pointing out an error; at the very end, you didn't censor bitch, and I'm pretty sure that's an expletive. Also, in one of your other chapters, you forgot to censor another expletive. I guess it's time for a ctrl+f spree for fuck, bitch, shit, and cunt. With the appriate "ed", "s", and "ing" suffixes. 



Author's Response: Actually, the whole [EXPLETIVE DELETED] thing started off as a joke, but I realized I was pretty much stuck with it until the end of the story. But for sanity\'s sake, I tried to limit the censoring to actual R-rated words, otherwise the [EXPLETIVE DELETED] thing would be unreadable...

Um, this isn't a real review, just an attempt by me to contact you.

Why'd you stop updating? I liked reading a new chapter of this every week or two.



Author's Response: I'd already written a lot of chapters when I started posting. Unfortunately, I caught up with myself, so now I'm back to posting chapters as I write them. It may take a while, but I really am going to finish this thing!

Keep it coming. Start updating regularly again! Yes, I still read this. I'm still going to give you that big review when this is over-I haven't forgot that promise. But you have to finish it first.



Author's Response: Still chugging along, and I *will* finish it. Promise! And I'm totally looking forward to the big review.
