Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Reunion
Great Story
As so many have concluded Sam and Julie relationship is the heart and soul of this story. In order for this epic to ring true they must find a way to fix this, stay together and both of them grow ever better and more loving toward the other. They need to stay a couple.
Wondering what Julie is getting out of being a 10 Foot plus giantess, her new "friends" seem more then happy to heap woe on her. Her domaniance (as you said feeling her oats, that she seems to do that every 10 chapters I will put aside), hieght and strength advantage are there but are they worth it? Espeacilly considering she use them in a manner like her father when assulting Sam? The novelity and joy if from growing if they exist have to have worn thin, perhaps she is begining to hate being an oversized freak in a world she doesn't fit into, maybe after her assult is begining to hate having those 'pluses' of domanince and power.
Would she consider having Jill find a way to infect her with Borgsford and reblance things? She would show great commitment to Sam (espeacilly after her hiding the knowledge that he has the disease) and she would be with a group of people who love her, also she would get sex alot(considering she seems to have had a dry spell while sam was tapping everything around him), the majority of it from Sam, if the inverse table works they could slowly regrow her, make sure step by step she handling her issues rather then thinking it's normal she feels anger and a willingness to act on it with as she grows.
I would like the character to be happy and at 10 feet plus she just seems miserable, I don't think she's getting anything new or better by growing, I think she feels trapped by her size, and she has glimpses of insight that she's hurting those she cares for and love, espeacilly the one who loves her unconditionally Sam. It might be wise for her, Zoe, or Jill to say hey this lifestyle isn't making you happy, maybe being infected with Borgsford can reblance you, let you live amongst those who love you (Partilurally Sam) and if you want to grow back the inverse table is always there, but you will have knowledge what you did wrong the first time and how to avoid.
To sum, I doubt Julie is happy being a giantess, her new "friends" I think don't care, she's just a member of the pack, her old friends when they find out about Sam will be hurt, scared and possible dislike her, if she were to willingly become one of them it would be a hell of an act of contrition coming to their level after being so high above them. She deserves to be happy and a shrinking back down would help.
Also regardless of anything else they are a great couple (Sam and Julie), they need to stick it out and fix things.
Author's Response: Yep, Julie and Sam are at the heart of the story. Can they find a way to fix this is one question, but first, do they want to fix this?
I don't see her new friends as heaping woe on her, rather, they see her as part of their group as superior girls who deserve the best, whether that is fine food, wine and even boys. To them, Sam just doesn't measure up and Julie can do so much better. Julie, of course, is flattered and this is probably why she listens and starts believing their rhetoric. She hasn't stopped to ask why, at least not yet.
Julie for her part is starting to become more comfortable in her new size and just starting to find out the power she possesses to influence others. She will likely grow into the leader of the girls in her new group in the future, but right now doesn't have a clue. It's funny you mention her father. He will be showing up, although not in person, for a small role later.
What if Jill or Julie become infected themselves with the disease? That would be a real interesting twist wouldn't it? Of course Sam is past the point where he can infect others; it can only be passed on during the incubation period where you don't even you know have the virus -- that is unless you get tested. Kind of like HIV, no?
Thanks, Last_one_33. You have a good understanding of the couples situation and raise some good points. Idon't want to give anything away so we'll find the answers in the coming chapters.
