Just wanted to say that I never, ever get tired of reading this series 😉
I can't wait for the final 6th instalment (Little Blackmail 6) which I am hoping will come out soon or eventually..... Your series was the first I ever read on this site. The conclusion will be like a refresher back to my childhood back to when I was 12 😊

Well i hope everything is going well for you. I miss your stories, but i can wait.
Author's Response:
I appreciate it. I would like to get back into writing here, it's just tricky now

When will the next story come?
Author's Response:
Hard to say. Life's sort of forced me into a hiatus right now.

Ah, I guess maybe it was something I did.
Thanks for the link, that's perfect!
You're right, it might be simpler to just do it as a "What If?," as that also lets you go full tilt with the concept without having to worry about ramifictaions in the story proper.
Or to put it another way, you wouldn't need to worry about the narrative, so you would be free to explore ideas and play them out as far as you want without having to tie it all up with a nice bow. If Jack never needs to be "free," his desires could outmatch Carly's, adulation above and beyond what she ever anticipated or expacted. Perhaps she catches him praying to her, or, of his own volition, he might stop using her name because it blasphemes.
And then what would that do to Carly? Would it fuel her ego even more, where maybe she no longer calls him "little bro" as a means of control, but for her own sake, to remind herself that he's still human? Or would she go the other way, and become the more rational of the siblings in that scenario, "be careful what you wish for?" The dichotomy of him being her brother and yet also something she owns is an interesting one.
Anyway, sorry to ramble. I've got some reading to do...
Author's Response:
As I'll probably be posting the What-If story soon, I'm increasingly expecting it will be a noncanon off-shoot rather than a dream because, as you say, it allows me to go full tilt. And I like full tilt for the Blackmail stories.
I appreciate the thought you've put into the character trajectories. I can't say just yet what we'll be seeing between them, and odds are it'll be a bit different than what you're theorizing, but it's good of you to consider the potential contradiction of Carly simultaneously acknowledging him as her brother but also her property.
Hope you enjoy the stories, whichever of them you get around to!

Hm. Weird. There seems to be 2 replies within my first post, but only 1 says "Author's Comments." Who is the other person? Or did Jacksmith accidentally paste someone else's quote?
Regardless, I am very much intrigued by the notion of the Alternate Universe, though it strikes me that you could easily use the hallucination / White Room device to explain it away without labeling it as a Sliding Doors thing. It could be an entire story that plays out in someone's mind right before a traumatic incident somewhere in Part 5, sort of An Occurrence of Carly's Feet Midge.
(Ouch. Sorry...)
I like that as much as the siblings have a codependant relationship, Carly's perspective is that it's not simply "I need you, you need me, it's us against the world" symbiosis. They might fill voids in one another, but by end of of 3, even as she's being Nice their roles are still clearly defined. "It's okay that you need to worship me." The implications are muted, but they are there. We've read what happened when he willingly gave her his body. I wonder what she'll do with his Soul...
Would you mind posting links to the stories set in this universe, perhaps with a reading order? I've liked the other things I've had time to read, but I'm curious about the larger mythology you've set up and apparently need a neon billboard to point me to it.
I got inspired to seek out more stories like this one, but haven't quite found anything that scratched this specific itch just yet. That said, I did find things with similar psychological themes, I'm just not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to the forum since it is not Giantess-related.
There is one piece with some elements befitting this community, however, if you'd like to Google "Goddess of the Nile" by Corvinus. It's a subtle thing that builds as the story develops, and has yet to fully play out, but there's some nice world-building along the way. I think you'll appreciate the details and specificity, even as it's light on the mental manipulation.
And while you're there, you might want to browse some of the "Classics." That's where the good brain-breaking stuff was. Maybe it will spark some embers.
Author's Response: It looks like a clip of someone else's review was included. I think it was already there when I responded. Oh well. I'm putting consideration into treating the alternate reality story like an extended dream, though I'm nervous of reusing that device too often in the main series. Plus, the way I'm planning to structure this thing, it may be easier to follow if it's just considered a noncanon off-shoot. But we'll see; I tend to fly by the seat of my pants with this stuff. Here's a link to the chronological timeline of all the universe stories. The ones not included below them can be found on my author page. http://www.giantessworld.net/viewseries.php?seriesid=1827 I'd forewarn you that the stories set in the timeline are pretty diverse in tone, meaning some get pretty violent and raunchy while others are a lot gentler, but I guess if you've already gone through Blackmail, you won't be shocked by much. Again, thanks for the feedback.

Question; Are you planning on writing the alternate ending of the 3rd part of the saga before you start writing the 6th part or is it in the reverse order? Well, that's if you even already have decided yourself on the question
Author's Response: The alternate ending will definitely come before the sixth story.

Were you a fan of the show Community? There's an episode where the Dean of the college is watching a YouTube video with a Dalmation Furry and says "Hmm… This better not awaken anything in me..."
That's kind of where I am right now.
I'm a writer as well, and was researching something for a completely unrelated (to Fetish) project, when I came across Part 4 of this story. I don't remember what chapter it was, or the keywords I used to get there, only that I finished reading it, and then next chapter, and then the next, and then thought "Okay, I feel like I would appreciate this more if I started from the beginning..."
And now here I am, having marathoned through it all, including a re-read of those initial chapters I had stumbled on.
Bravo, man.
For context, I didn't realize "Giantess" was even a fetish, at least not to the degree that communities like this existed, beyond a cursory Rule #34 way and some DeviantArt pages I had seen. I’m not even sure how it “works,” beyond a vivid imagination. (Are there super hi-rez close-ups of pinky toes that people bow down in front of their 4K screens to worship?)
But not only did something about this speak to me in a way I didn't know about myself, like others here, I felt compelled to create an account to tell you as much.
Carly is a fantastic character. I could see how initially your plans for her and the story weren’t quite as epic as they turned out to be, but really appreciated how you still mined those early chapters for things you used later. It was obvious how much fun you had writing certain scenes, and how much our sexual predilections (and boundaries for where and where not to take them..) seem to align. It’s commendable how you used both the flashbacks and hallucinations as methods of covering ground you weren’t otherwise able to, and you also have a knack for choosing the exact right word.
By the end, I realized that I didn't want to see Carly diminished in any way, even as I knew why it had to be done, narratively.
Reading though all these comments now, I didn't expect to read so many people wanting her to get her comuppance. This is, ostensibly, erotica. So the fact that you had folks so caught up in the characters that they didn't want to see the fetishistic aspects continue should be a tremendous compliment. I thought there would be more of a universal desire to see Jack continue to be tortured by her feet as fait accompli, if not outright desire, but I suppose that wasn’t as important to some as the rules of the 3-act structure they feel comfortable with.
As for myself, it’s all about the psychological aspects. To be honest, I’m not even sure the GTS stuff is what touched me in the loins, or if that was merely a vehicle to establish the dynamic of one person mentally breaking down another until they saw them as a God. I’m not going to Monday-morning quarterback you because it annoys me when readers tell authors what they should have done, but the way you’ve left things certainly could result in more of that. It might be interesting to see a “Cult of Carly," but one consistent thing about the piece in general is that it never quite does the expected, and that’s the best thing a reader can hope for. I like everything up until now, I’m sure if it continues with more of your personal tastes and ideology, I’ll be pleased with whats in store, too.
It just sucks that I — by complete coincidence — discovered this story and this site itself right when you finished up the most recent “Book,” and will now have to wait around like everyone else has had to over the years since you first started.
Fortunately from reading the feedback, I’ve learned that you’ve actually created a shared universe, and there are other stories in this world I can check out to hold me over.
(Who am I kidding. There goes the weekend…)
appreciated and respected
On one hand, you wanna root for Jack and hope he overcomes his need to be a toy and underfoot of a goddess since he is our main character, but on the other, the parts of this series where he is worshiping feet and devoting himself to them, especially the scene where he wholely devoted himself to Carly right before Sophie saved him in the third story of the series were some of the best parts of this series. As for the ending of this chapter, you've left us with quite a cliff hanger and I can't wait to read what happens next. Thanks for the update, eager to see what happens next.
Author's Response: Well, this is certainly a first for me. I feel like I probably ought to apologize that your conversion experience into the fetish was via something so positively filthy in nearly every way. I hear ya on the psychological play. While the giantess universe is still my bread and butter, basically any kind of fetish narrative that involves mind games and domineering journeys is good, so I try to work it into most of my stories. I greatly appreciate your commentary on the story itself. You're right that this series, my first on the site, started mostly as a pure erotic exercise and ended up spiraling into a longer odyssey with, like, character development and whatnot. In the more recent stories I've tried to find a balance of giving Jack his little victories in a narrative context without letting the action with Carly ever really come to an end. "Cult of Carly" sounds interesting (I'm sure she herself wouldn't be opposed), though the events of the sixth story will probably go a little differently. And hopefully in a good way still. If it's any consolation, while the next main series story is probably a little ways off, I've been putting increasing consideration into an alternate universe tale where the end of the third story goes a lot differently. Feel free to let me know what you think of any of my other works, if you do happen to see them sometime. Again, thanks for your thoughts!

I do like the idea of a spin off, but if you end up not doing a spin off, at least update a little blackmail 4 a few times, so much potential could be added into that story
Author's Response: I really do think it's very possible to do a what-if story at some point. I'm hesitant to continue ALB4 though since I ended it on such a conclusion-esque chapter.

@HectorVanDyne
Has she? I'm sorry, my memory must be a little fuzzy. I had always thought she had been quite physically abusive yes, but never to the point of near-death.
If she's fully prepared to wreak havoc upon the land, then all the better, huh?
Author's Response:
She's done some things that brought Jack nearer to death than others, though never with the actual intent of ending him.
Though that's not to say there won't be havoc upcoming...

@Orpheus: What are you talking about? Carly has inflicted several very physical and brutal beatings upon Jack. She's more than capable of doing the same to any one else in her path, with no problem of killing them.
Author's Response:
You're definitely right that Carly is content with using torment when she deems it useful, though it's worth noting she's never actually taken a life, nor attempted to do so - so it may not be quite so cut and dry. ;)
Date: May 13 2016 5:58 PM Title: Chapter 1: Life After Carly
WORTH THE WAIT! Now that Carly is properly big again with no MRD in sight for now, she will be reasy to take on the world. That is, if there is no expected military intervention or Carly can shrug off bullets with ease.
Its been brilliant writing all throughout this story and when Blackmail 6 does come out, it will be a good day!
Author's Response:
Ha, thanks man. It's likely she'll be facing some opposition depending on what she chooses to do next, though she's going to be one tough cookie at that height...

my Message for Carly: S*** it b**** haha. For me, Jack will be restored to height. Let's see !

We'll find out soon.

I'm really eager to see where the story will go.
I've been wondering if Jack would actually get even smaller because of the experiments going wrong (or right)
Author's Response:
Hehe. Certainly Carly would be hoping for something like that for Jack.

I've said it before but you are seriously next level as not just a fetish writer, but a writer period. This story proves it. The level of detail and level of insight into the minds of your two characters is impressive. Thanks for continuing to share your stuff with us

Thanks very much; it means a lot.

Who's Leah? And how is she fighting the PMRD before its creation I am lost here!
Author's Response:
Leah is Jack and Carly's mom. They're not fighting the PMRD, they're fighting the chemicals that shrank Jack and Carly.

family reunion hmmm... Silly us who thought Jack was gonna live in peace.

That would've been very optimistic.

You said final chapters...how many would that be?
P.s. you are a good writer, keep it up!
Author's Response:
Theoretically, 5. Don't quote me on that.

Youre back! And updating stories left and right, YASSSSSS

Hopefully I can keep up the pace.
