This is what happens when we cease to communicate with each other...even on a cellular level.*

*Sorry! Couldn't resist. ;-)

New reader review, I like your story set up so far.
Jaz is either the best thing in the world to happen to him, or a total asshole. I'm not convinced she's a 100% in either direction. That she can hear him in her ear is a plus, but he really needs a safe word/gesture he can signal when things get too crazy. Seriously, he jumped off the spoon in panic, or accidentally sucked in with a breath.
Right now, if I were Rob, I would quickly text my friends the situation, than try calling house phone, her cell, the other friends while moving to an object for shelter or at least out of foot rest territory. But I have a feeling that's not the story this is going to be next chapter.

Author's Response:

She's nothing if not unique. 

 

As for the speculation...Well I won't spoil it but I did put some consideration into a lot of those things you mentioned ^^

To paraphrase Carol King:

"Jazzzzzzz-girl! Take Bob's blues away."

LOL! Nice, playful chapter.

Author's Response:

That is strangely appropriate. Jaz, Rob/Bob, Blues. I like it.

From bottom to top in nothing flat (and Jaz's top is _definitely_ nothing flat; lol!).

Ah-ha! Now, the picture starts to get a little clearer. If this isn't the work of Karma (or whatever), then maybe there's an ultra-oonservative branch of the FCC that shrank him. For hoarding photo-captures of feet!

Yeah, I can tell things are getting better or more intense.

I'm loving this stories focus on how people would handle someone else shrinking.

With most gts stories its either enslavement, death, or pity. However, you have characters treating the main like an actual person, and learing to live with his new condition.

There are not many stories that explore giantesses from this angle.

I like the story so far, and you've touched on who can be shrunk which is good. However, who defines who can be good or bad? This is of course a very profound question. What it comes down to is whether human morality is objective or subjective. In my opinion human morality is influenced by the environment, scientific advances and culture.

Humans tend to do what is best for their survival (or at least that used to be all their brains were useful for, since our brains are now so great we don't just need to use them to survive anymore). Evolution is clearly a contentious issue in some parts of the world, but the truth is morality is different in different parts of the world and is constantly changing as societies change.

I think I may have gone into too much detail but I'm thinking that if the main character is accidentally shrunk, this could be the reason. The difference is culture between countries can be unnerveving for some. For example, in the United Arab Emirates kissing in public is seen as a crime. I assume a quick peck wouldn't matter so I think they refer to more blatant displays such as French Kissing, which I wouldn't want to see in public myself.

Author's Response:

Personally, I think there are any number of possible explanations. I general idea behind the world is that people use size as and end-all be-all for basically deciding a person's worth and trustworthiness. Even though people are considerably more complicated than the generic terms "Good and Bad" people wanted to adopt these notions for simplicitys sake. Also I'd like to note that I have almost entirely focused on an American point of view so it's more than possible you still have this difference in how things are handled between cultures. Perhaps the shrinking somehow varies. Perhaps the same types of people shrink all across the board, which could theoretically leave a nation with a culture and morals so different from a Western set that it could be a reverse with the "Bad" being big and the "Good" being small. 

The primary idea I started off on is that no one knows how or why people are suddenly shrinking. They only attached some sort of explanation to a phenemonon that realistically is not remotely understood. They can be entirely off-base with these ideas but until there's hard evidence demonstrating that they'll go for the explanation that makes them feel most comfortable. IE "Everyone who is a threat is smaller and weaker than me."

And the story of course finds it's basis in a single person who may or may not be totally innocent and how he's trying to adapt to his new size and live his life. 

Personally I'm surprised people are putting so much thought into this concept of how people shrink but I'm glad to see a post like this. It means at the very least I have your interest lol. Glad you've enjoyed the story thus far. And thanks for the food for thought
